UP FROM POLITICAL SLAVERY

Tn TONES unmistakably compounded of
disillusionmcnt and despair. Senator
Borah has implored his colleagues to tell
him how the League Of Nations can remain
n political issue with one party going In
the front door and the other in the back
door" His attitude Of pausing for reply
Is one Of bitterness. For Mr.. Borah knows
swered II.
The game il up. Opportunist prejudice.
blatant dcmagogy. myopic partisanship have
done their worst. lt was great deal. II
reflected shame upou the higots and scnsa.
ton mougers Of the two national parties. 1t
retarded for three years the urgently neces-
sary repairs +" n shocked civilization. But
il was not sufficient to extinguish the vital
principle Of international 70 operation as re-
fected both in the League program and in
the treaties framed in the Washington Con-
ference.
Truth may be crushed 10 earth without
relinquishing its resiliency. The present re-
bound is so apparent that representatives Of
both parties in the Senate are involved in an
argument on the origin of an idea too potent
to be effaced. Mr.. Hitchcock revcrts to the
Naval Appropriation Bill of 1916. contain
ing a suggestion of conference Of major
Powers. The contentious of avowcd Will
sonans are well known. Republicans other
than those of the Borah stripe point with
pride to the present Administration. The
scramble for credit is as amusing as II is
exhilarating
The truth i that the principle Of world
partnership and reciprocal peace pledges is
mightier than any of It's cxponentS. Whether
the structure of comfy he called n league of
nations or a four Power treaty is Qucs-
tion subordinate to the fundamental gran
dcur of the conception. Nor does the Size.
color or shape of the door by which connec-
tion with the forces of progress is attained
matter greatly. In Mr.. Borah's despair lies
the hoI" Of civilization. II. as he SORROW
fully implies. partisan politics has been
eliminated from programs of world recon-
s;rUction. the future is bright with promise.
Th" Senator from Idaho piumeS himself on
his candor. All Americans with a sense of
responsibilities must hop" that in this in
stance h" is running true to form. II was
politics which warped the national vision

which Philadelphia can secure an outlet
