TAFT TO THE
BITTER

IAtl ~ HE
BITTER-ENDERS
Sound but bitter advice is
given by former President Taft
to those irreconcilables in his
own party who fought the
League of Nations. He tells Bo-
rah and the others who seek a
disarmament program by agree
ment with England and Japan
they cannot have it unless they
are willing to bind the United
States to do what it asks the
other nations to do. And when
he says that, he hurls in their
faces the very thing they alleg-
ed as their reason for opposing
the league.
Mr.. Taft, like the advocates of
the league, sees no harm in such
a contractural relation. 1t is no
more or less a surrender of SOW
ereignity than this or any other
country makes when it signs a
treaty with any other sovereign
power. 1t is identically what the
United States would do and will
do when it joins with 40 other
nations Of the world in the cove
nant Of the League of Nations.
The objection during the league
debate was piffling and trihing
and those who made it known
it now, if they did not then.
Says Mr.. Taft:
Satisfactory signs are accu-
mulating that those conditions
which advocates of a League of
Nations urged as reasons for u
hitting with other nations by a.
greement to secure peace are i'm
fiuencing even the most strenu-
Gus opponents of the league to
find and propose some kind of an
euuivolent."
But when it comes to disar-
mament, says Mr.. Taft, or any
other international enterprise
we cannot ask other nations to
do what we are unwilling to do
ourselves.
And so it comes about again
this hypocricy of the enemies of
the league. These opponents of
the covenant were not so dull
at the time not to see the error
of their argument. From myri-
ad sources came the evidence to
show the shifting stands on
which they stood.
Eating crow is not a palata-
bic pastime and yet unless these
Republicans are determined to
cast aside all efforts for world
peace, all attempts to lower the
enormous cost of war machin-
cry, all friendly intercourse and
engagements with the nations
of the world, they must repudi-
ate their past conduct and ac-
cept the principles as laid down
by Woodrow Wilson, not because
he laid them down but because
they are eternally true. Accept
ance Of the league would not
only have spared the world rep
utation of the United States, but
prevented the most hypocritical
and vicious political conspiracy
that this country has known.
