SELF TERMINATION IN IRE
LAND. ALASKA AND ELSEWHE ERE

One of the last incidents Of the
long discussion which has resulted
in the second refusal of the United
States Senate to ratify Mr.. Wilson's
treaty and covenant, with or with
out reservations, is so discreditable
to the Senators responsible for it
that this newspaper cannot refrain
from expressing its opinion on the
subject.
The Gerry reservation adhering
to the principle Of self-determina-
ton and to the resolution Of SYM
pathy for the Irish nationalists
passed by the Senate last June was
adopted On Thursday by the narrow
vote of SO to 36 and thus became
ipart of the treaty and covenant
which the Senate rejected on Fri
day.
The attempted injection of the IT.
ish question into the treaty was
pure buneombe. This is equally true
whether the purpose was merely
political, with view to local ext
gencies In the case OF those voting
for the reservation, or strategic on
the part of the so-ealled Irreconcil-
ables in order to make the final re-
lection of the treaty more certain.
We are not criticising the Gerry
reservation on the ground that 1t
declared sympathy for the cause of
! the independence Of Ireland. If such
sympathy is entertained by the
congress Of the United States IA
expression Of It Is perfectly legitl
mate and fully in accord with his.
toric precedent. This was the case
with the resolution of June 6. 1910.
But to reiterate that legitimate

British government was expected
either to accept or reject was to
throw to the winds al pretense of
non-interference in the domestic

BET RAYING
THE DEAD

Ratification of the treaty Of
peace has again been defeated, in
circumstances no different from
those which controlled the action,
Of the Senate four months ago.
The Republican Senators, under
the leadership Of Mr.. Lodge, would
not accept the Treaty of Versailles,
which has been ratified by all the
other belligerents and has already
been put into effect. They insisted
upon making a treaty of their own.
The Administration Democrats
would not accept the reservations
framed by the Republicans and
adopted by the votes Of Senator s
opposed to the treaty in any form.
The Battalion of Death Republicans
having voted with the Lodge Re-
publicans to make the treaty unac-
ceptable to the administration
Democrats, then voted with the
Administration Democrats to reject
the treaty that they had helped to
mutllate with that definite object
in view.
In so far as the action of the
Senate is victory for anybody, it
is victory for Senator Borah and
the irreconcilable Republican SEN
2tors who have followed his leader
ship. They have held the balance
of power in both parties. It was
their votes that enabled Senator
Lodge to retain the reservations
that the Administration Democrats
rejected, and it was their votes that
finally prevented the ratification of
the treaty that they had assisted II
mingliag
In consequence the treaty-mak-
ing power of the United States is
imperative. The government of the
United States could win a great
war; it could negotiate CREST
peace; but 1t Is incapable of ratifv-
ing any kind of peace, because the
Senate is unable to perform it's
constitutional functions.
There have been Illuminating ep-
isodes in the history Of the United
States, but nothing else that was
quite so humiliating as this; moth
ing else that so sharply challenged
the capacity of the American peo-
pie for self-government: nothing
else that so sweepingly indicted
their national self-respect and their
sense of responsibility. On the
whole, the records of the Senate
since the Treaty OF Versailles was
formally submitted by President
Wilson, July 10, 1919, constitutes
the most notifying chapter in
American history.
Having voted in November, 1913,
10 divide their government in the
midst of world crisis, the Ameri
can people now find themselves
without a government that can fun
ction. Partisanship has paralyzed
its members. The commanding
prestige that the United States
won in the war has been frittered
away. and the country after all its
superb achievements, stands before
the world today discredited and
without a real friend. This is the
penalty of that betrayal of faith
which is all concentrated in the re-
peated refusal to ratify the treaty
