Germany Is absolutely bound, COM
mitted and estopped in all these re-
spects.
When attention is turned 70 Aus
ria-Hungary it is at once apparent
that the Austria Hungary which fig
ures IN the Knox-Porter resolution
no longer exists. The country has
been superseded by a group Of sue
ceSsion' states, sprung from the
lions Of the Versailles treaty and
having neither boundaries nor char
tiers except as therein defined.
Yes. the treaty will go back TO
the senate. The fact - that it is
the solitary avenue of approach to
the solution Of our international
problems Like a truth crushed to
earth, this fact rises again and again.
Conferences are adjourned and re-
sumed. Alternatives are discussed
and discarded 1t rides with the
president 70 Raritan. 1t dogs the
footsteps OF Knox TO Valley Forge.
1t brings Lodge in a hurry TO the
white house. Sometimes t spoils the
putting of distinguished golfers at
Chevy Chase. Hughes is instructed
10 find some escape, but he cannot.
There stands the fact. Duty to the
country, duty to our allies, national
honor and consistency Join in the
invitation 10 return the treaty 70 the
senate.
And the invitation will be ac-
cepted.
