are in allied circles many who pre-
dict that America has not safe
guarded her rights from a legal
standpoint, and that while the allies
aare disposed at this time to inter-
pose no objection to the American
course of action, the chances are
that the indirect method by which
the United States has made peace
with Germany will furnish plenty
of legal controversy in future
years The allies. of course, owe
the United States a good deal of
money and are not likely.in the i'm
mediate future to engage in serious
controversy over legal questions,
but it is admitted that the European
governments may some day ques-
ton the validity of those rights
which the United States has en-
deavored to acquire by separate
treaty with Germany.
The line of thought of those who
contend that the new treaty does
not safeguard Americas rights is
that in the preamble America for
mally announced to the world that
the treaty of Versailles signed by
the United States was not ratified,
and is, therefore, ipapplicable to
to the United States. In later sec
lions of the Hughes-K Knox treaty,
America specifically claims rights
and privileges of the Versailles
treaty. The question IS asked how
the United States can in one breath
declare that certain contract is
null and void. and in the next
breath Insist that certain parts of
the contract are valid.
First Treaty Shu Lives.
IN answer to this query, Amer
lean officials say that the United
States, while never rstifying the
Versailles treaty, has never noti-
fed the other governments Of the
world % any intentior to repudiata
that document, even though objec-
ton was made to certain parts of
it, such as the league covenant. In
other words, the treaty of Yer
sailles unratified is just as live 4
document as the Hughes-KnoX
treaty, which has Just been signed
but is also unratiAed. Indeed, 1t
appears that the American govern
ment probably will take refuge
upon occasion behind the fact that
the Wilson signature on the Yer
sailles pact indicated that the
United States received certain
rights and privileges from Germany
under the Versailles pact which
cannot be lost. simply because the
American senate failed to ratify
certain obligations imposed in that
treaty.
Briefly, the American attitude is
that, having participated in the war
with NO desire to acquire territory
or material gain, the United States
has a perfect right to insist upon
all the benefits and privileges
which may be conferred upon other
powers, while, at the same time.
refusing to accept any obligations
TO enforce the. Versailles treaty or
any other compact. From the al
hes viewpoint. this appears to be
an intensely pro-American, as well
as selfish, position. but American
officfals declare that the unselfish-
ness OF the United States was dem
onstrated in the war, and that all
the rights and privileges which
nave been sought in the Hughes
Knox treaty are simply those which
would give America freedom Of
commercial opportunity.
