Power to Appropriate.

can analogous case is the power
of congress to appropriate money.
There is no other power in our gov
ernment to do that; but, if the
United States makes a treaty to pay
100000 to another country would
any one say that the obligation could
be cancelled by refusal of congress
to appropriate the money. Certainly
not; the only effect would be that the
United States would have broken
faith. The real question is whatever
we shall enter into a guarantee un-
der which the faith of treaties will
require congress to pass resolution
declaring war. That is what the
president proposed. That is> what
your telegram makes it clear you
propose.
"On the same day when you sent
the telegram according to the press
reports, in a meeting at Providence
some one in the audience asked you,
Would you accept the Lodge reser-
vations to the league of nations"
There was your opportunity. Among
these reservations was one which
said:
"Ihe Uritcd States assumes no
obligation to preserve the territorial
integrity CIR political independence OF
any other country by the employ
ment Of It's military or nava! forces,
etc., unless in any particular case the
congress which under the constitu-
ton has the sole power to declare
war or TO authorize the employment
of the military or naval forces OF
the United States shall in the eSer-
else of full liberty of action by act
of joint resolution so provide
'sThat. reservation would leave
congress free whenever the time
came, to act in accordance with its
judgment and conscience, and the
Judgment and conscience Of its con-
stituents regarding the merits OF
the controversy at that time.
"Your position as you now state
would leave congress bound by the
solemn pledge Of faith of our coun-
try to. pass the resolution for war;
TO matter what the merits of the
controversy might be.
"If you did not mean that con-
gress should be bound you had an
opportunity at that meeting in Pro-
v;dence to say 4 agree to this res
ervation or to this part of this reser-
vation.' Your answer is reported to
have been The Lodge reservations
never were serious suggested. Ii
they had been, Senator Lodge would
have declared for them in the Re-
publican platform adopted at Chic
ago. and thus you sidestepped the
question and you state in your tele-
gram to me the perfectly futile
thing you are willing to do upon the
subject of Article 10.
"Your telegram to me undertakes
to state your case, and both what
you say and what you refrain from
saving confirm TIE understanding |
expressed in ny speech that your po-
sition ard purpose arc to impose
upon The United States the covenant
negotiated at Paris without any real
charge whatever

resented him." the governor said
"He offers reward to any who will
show that he has changed his atti
tude on the league of nations.
"Now am here to show he has at.
tempted to 'wiggle and wobble' his
way into the presidency and tc
claim that reward, not for myself
but for the people of America"
In the proof offered in support OF
his claim for the reward, the Demo
cratic candidate contended that the
senator admitted having changed his
position "by the ironical assertion
that he is entitled to one more to
make it ID. Now the only trouble
with the senator is this:
"His arithmetic is at fault. He
has already had IA changes so far as
I am able to know, because have
not had opportunity to read the even
ing papers"
Governor Cox then enumerated
the IA alleged "wcbbles" by his op-
ponent of which he said he knew. He
said:
81. He voted for the mild reser-
vations.
"2. Then he voted for the Lodge
reservations,
"3. Then he said that if he had
to do it over he would not vote even
for the Lodge reservations.
81. Then he voted for the Knox
resolution providing for separate
peace with Germany.
"5. Then he accepted the nomina,
ton on the platform which said the
league has signally failed.
"6. Then he endorsed the rees-
tablishment of the Hague tribunal,
which showed it's failure as express
ed by Theodore Roosevelt, because
it had no power behind it and under
which the four greatest wars in his
tory took place.
"7. Then he rejected The Hague
tribunal.
"S. Then he offered a new plan
in the international court of justice
which he learned Elihu Root was
working on.
SO. Then he rejected the interna-
tional court of justice when he dis
covered what every one had known
but him, that it was the supreme
court of the league of nations.
40. In his speech Of September
6 he said, Amendment or revision
of reconstruction of the league cove
nant is still among the possibilities,
and
al. In the same speech he said,
The league has now passed beyond
all possibility of restoration
"12. At Des Moines he said, Cox
favors going into the league. ] favor
staying out. am not interested IN
clariheation. ! an interested in re-
jection.'
"13. Returning to Marion from
Des Moines he said, I can't under
! stand why It is the people of Asneri-
ca don't understand what l said at
Des Moines,' and that he was rot to
be taken to mean what he said; and
"14. Announced the formation OF
new association of nations, which
on the same day Judge Taft had
pronounced impossible and impractl-
cable"

Adequate And
Efficient Railroads

The amazing growth of the United
States is measured rather accurately
by the records made by American
railroads, and Frank H. Fayant furn-
lshes some enlightening information
along these lines. He has ascertained
that the traffic hauled on American
railroads is now three times as great
as 1t was twenty years ago. In four
months our railroads carry as much
freight and as many passengers as
they did in twelve months twenty
years ago. In the three months of the
1919 harvest movement the traffic
equalled that of the whole year 1898.
Freight ton miles first passed 100 bill
lions year in 1898, reached 200 bill
lions in 1906. 300 billions in 1918.
and the 400 billion mark was topped
in 1918. In this same twenty years
the output of pig iron. which is re-
garded as an unfailing barometer of
prosperity, has also tripIed. Assuming
that this country is going to keep
right on growing" Mr.. Fayant OBJ
serves that 1T is the capacity of the
railroads to haul raw materials and
finished products that determines the
final productive capacity of our indus
tries, and he ascribes the reason to
be great distances like ours, with the
principal sources Of raw material far
removed from the great centers of con-
sumption" which make adequate and
efficient transportation "a prime ne
cessity."
1t is easy to agree with Mr.. Fay
ants statement that the very life of
the Nation depends on transportation
and the chief concern Of the public
in the railroad problem is that trans.
Portation should be adequate and eff.
cient, since all other phases of the
problem are secondary The student
of the question is aware that in no
other great country of the world is
transportation furnished at so low g
cost, and it is doubtful whether the
agitation of some of the so-caIIed
radicals" is deceiving many people
even though these people urge tha
the cost of living is likely to be in
creased through Congress fixing Z
sound program for the railroads undeI
private management. 1t is to the cred
it of the Nation that the live and let
live" principle is coming to be recog
nized everywhere in American indus
try and commerce. This has been re.
flected in Congress where strenuou.
attempts have been made to frame
railroad legislation to protect the men
who work on the lines. as we'll as in
vestors of the country who have put
their savings in railroad securities, and
the public whose interests are in every
way identified with successful railroad
operation.
