4 Dubious Clause
Contradiction Clouds the League S
Recognition of Monroe Doctrine


To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: l would ask the privilege Of
drawing attention through the columns
of The Tribune to an important di-
French and English texts of Article
XXI of the covenant of the league Of
nations on the subject of the Monroe
Doctrine.
The English text reads:
"Nothing in this covenant shall be
deemed to affect the validity Of inter
national engagements, such as treaties
of arbitration or regional understand
ings like the Monroe Doctrine. for Sc
curing the maintenance of peace"
The French text reads:
Lies engagements internationaux,
tells que les traites d'arbitrage, ct les
ententes regionales, CONNIE la doctrine
de Monroe, que assurent le maintien de
la paiX, ne sont consideres CONNIE in
compatibles avec aucune des disposi-
tions de present Pacte.'
A literal translation of the above
reads:
international engagements such as
treaties Of arbitration, and regional un-
derstandings, like the Monroe Doctrine,
which secure the maintenance of peace,
are not considered as incompatible with
any Of the dispositions Of the present
pact"
1t will be. observed that the French
text is the exact reverse Of the English
text. Instead of a guarantee that
nothing in the covenant shall be deemed
to affect the validity of the Monroe
Doctrine, we have a guarantee that the
Monroe Doctrine shall not be deemed
to affect the validity of the covenant!
In other words, it is the covenant that
is safeguarded, not the doctrine!
AS both texts are held to be "authen-
tic this article obviously requires
something stronger than a mere inter-
probation, if the United States honestly
desires to safeguard the Monroe Doc
trine
There are those who hold that by
agreeing in recent treaties of arbitra-
ton to arbitrate disputes of every
nature without any reservation what
ever the United States has already
abandoned the Monroe Doctrine. Such
persons will doubtless find great salts
faction in the fact that Article XXI for
some peculiar reason guarantees that
nothing in the covenant shall affect the
validity of these treaties!
The more one studies the covenant
as we'll as the whole Treaty of Yer
saillcs, the more evident the necessity
appears for d clearer understanding Of
the nature OF the obligations the United
States is asked 10 assume. Honor as
well as prudence demands that we
pledge no more than we are willing to
fulfill.
The more time and opportunity is
afforded for a thorough study of the
covenant and for moro light on Euro
pean conditions in general on which
the whole project is based, the mere
certain it is that the American people
VIII insist on stringent reservations. 1t
is even possible that they may come to
dlstrust the wisdom Of undertaking. any
such engagements and NAV hold that
the United States may best preserve it's
freedom of moral leadership in behalf
OF world peace by refusing to be bound
by any such compromising provisions
as are typifed by Article XXI.

The Coming 7ower
Village Nocturnes
The World Goes Rx


The lights along our village street
Go off at twelve O'Clock,
And double darkness settles suddenly
Beneath the arches Of the elm trees.
Then hearing grows still more alert;
My ears pick out the scattered noises
of the night.
A sleepy rooster wakes and crows,
A horse within a stable, restless at
the Aies,
Stamps, and the stable is a sounding
board;
"A baby cries,
A feeble fret against the shrin in
sistence of the katydids;
In troubled sleep
Behind window in house near by,
Some dwcller mutters
And the bed complains
A long way off, across the star-lit fields,
A dog barks once, and then is still;
Far down the road, droning buzz at
first,
I hear the rumble of motor truck:
Its lights appear, two staring yellow
eyes,
That fash and swell and burst in
golden radiance
Into the groined black arches of the
elm nave
1t passes on,
A square of black with one red eve,
Stamped on the radiance it pours ahead.
The village has not walked,
Silence again, and darkness.
Then, far away once more, long,
drawn whistle
And pounding, steady chug,
Louder and nearer, rattling to a roar
The north bound freight goes through.
1t hits the siding switch;
The wheels
Go thump- -thump, thump-thump,
AS they cross.
is clear,
| see the dark train suddenly aglow;
The boiler door is opened,
The fireman is heaving coal,
The trailing smoke plume, or its under
side,
Is shot with crimson like comets tail.
Then darkness, and dying roar,
And silence once again.
The world goes by US in the night,
We sleep.
| walk home underneath the trees,
Between the crickets and the kaydids.

The selection of San Francisco for
the Democratic Convention will cost
the Eastern newspapers what may be
called, without overstatement, pretty
penny. Aside from the transportation
expenses Of the correspondents, there
is the great cost Of telegraphic dis
patches. The silver lining is that the
papers may economize and print only
twice as much stuff as people can
read, instead of ten times AS much.

that angle, too. The people in
America must wake up.
When people drive a high
powered car at a speed endanger-
ing the lives Of children OF workers,
playing in the streets, they are
making bolshevists, and making
them fast, for the workers do not
see why the rich are not working
as they are. 1t is time that young
men who are spending the wealth
made by their fathers wake up to
the danger that is threatening.
America has made great wealth
from the World var and has suf-
fered but little in comparison with
England and France, which count
their dead above a million each.
The least that can be done here is
to come to a. realization Of the re-
sponsibilities that come with
wealth. Work is the true correction
Of things for long time to come"
