Whatever the nature of Mr.. VIII

fortunate complications. He was suf-

and because of it the whole country
has suffered, is suffering, and will con-
tinue to suffer. Because of it, TO no
small degree, the world at large is in
the throes of unrest and uncertainty,
for it was Mr.. Wilson who would have
his way in Paris that the league of ma
tions covenant be so intertwined in
the peace treaty-which should have
been a document separate in itself
and made effective few months after
the signing of the armistice-that
American senators would not dare to

soldiers were undergoing treatment in

under contract with private hospitals

S. D. Flora,
Meteorologist

For two and half years, while Eu-
rope was at war, Mr. Wilson strove to
keep America 81 peace. Now that
Europe has peace, Mr.. Wilson would
apparently have America remain at
war. 1t is an impossible course. Is
the President really bent on such a
course?
The duty of the Democratic Senat-
ors is plain. They must unite with
the Republican supporters of the
Treaty for its ratification. The thing
can be done because eighty Senators
are in favor of the Treaty with the
Covenant of the League The presi-
dent has laid no direct injunction up
on Democrats to reject a fair COM
promise. Even if Mr. Wilson had
made such a call upon their obedience
it would be their duty to follow their
own udgment.-New York Evening

Lord Grey's Letter Clarifies the Stu,

alton
The letter of Viscount Grey, Brit
ish Minister to this country, in which
he upholds the action of the United
States Senate in insisting upon such
reservations as shall be in accord
ance with our Constitution and settled
policies, which letter was published
in England for the information of the
English people, has clarified the stu
alton and may result in the ratifca-
ton of the Peace Treaty, with-reserv-
atoms. At least it knocks the props
out of the main objection which
President Wilson has urged against
the reservations. Lord Grey says
they are acceptable to the English
government and prominent French
statesmen have said that they are &C
ceptable to the French government.
Since the Allies are willing to ac-
ident Wilson has all along claimed
that the reservations only state in
other language what is already con-
tanned in the Treaty, there can be no
further objection to such reserva-
tions on his part unless he is insistent
upon a certain form of words, or I'M
less he is unwilling to allow the Sen
ate its constitutional privilege of ad-
vising and consenting to the Peace
Treaty. Only very domineering and
stubborn man, or a very sick one,
could any longer hold out against
such overwhelming odds.
The Senate is against the Presi-
dents policies, the voters have repud-
lated them at the polls in every cleo
ton which has been held since the
subject of the League of Nations was
first preached, and now the people of
Europe are against him. It is time for
Mr.. Wilson to emulate the coon,
which said to Davy Crockett, Don't
shoot, I'll come down."
However, the best course for the
United States Senate to pursue is to
pass the Knox resolution and deal
with the League of Nations, for what
1t really is-a separate proposition.
1t is best to proceed very deliberately
before entering into any league which
may endanger the sovereignty, entity
and independence of the United
States. Peace should be proclaimed
at once. The League can wait.-Na-
tional Economist.
