Course To Be FoH0wed By q. S.
Alternative To Rejection Of
Treaty OF Great Importance

is an immense amount Of detail yet
to be perfected by conference and
commission work. The United States
has signed the treaty, has agreed to
become party in manner specified TO
all these preparations and plans for
the starting up OF business, but re,
fusal OF the senate of the United
States to ratify the treaty as nego-
tiated and signed invalidates the
participation of his country in the
manner and to the extent stipulated
in the treaty.
AS everyone knows, the treaty was
rejected because the President in ne
g~otiating 1t had literally fulfilled the
threat he made upon starting on MS
second Journey to Paris. to inextrt-
cabIy weave the covenant Of the
League of Nations into the warp
wool of the treaty Of peace itself.
Efforts to separate the covenant OF
the League of Nations for considera-
ton apart from the other features OF
the treaty failed early in the considera-
ton of the treaty in the senate ana IL
was unavoidable thereafter that the
whole structure should stand or ran
as one edifice.
IT Is the universal Judgment in
Washington that no plan to revive the
League of Nations project can possi-
blv be put through the senate in the
present state of opinion in that body.
Senators are not likely to change their
mind unless they ave direct mandate
from their constituents to do 50 ana
no such command may come until the
question has been threshed over In
the national campaign now pending.
But In the meantime. some means
must be devised for the participation
of the United States in the settlement
of the business questions involved in
the treaty stipulations, outside the
League Of Nations covenant. This can
Perth Amboy evening news., 1920-03-25

be accomplished through a modus vi
vendi which does not require the
ton of the United States senate to be-
come operative. 1t Is in reality "a
gentlemen's agreement among the
nations concerned on a plan for the
practical carrying out of a desired
course Of action. IT is a short cut
across lots" to reach a given point.
What President Wilson may do with
the treaty and the League of Nations
covenant may then be left to his de-
termination. Important business in
terests are not concerned very much
