Only One That May Not

nnq Worldly

WASHINGTON. Feb. II copy
right 1923).--The first impulse of
the Democrats in the United States
Sen&.c is to ratify the group of treat
les submitted by President Harding.
though in so doing they have in their
hearts an unmistakable feeling that
they ought to make an exception OF
the Four Power Pacific Treaty. This
treaty, which puts an end to the.
Anglo japanese alliance. Will be con-
sidered last and viii be debated more
than the others.
The general effect of President
Harding's address was beneficial.
But several Senators are suggesting
that Mr.. Harding permitted himself
to be drawn into unnecessary eX-
preston of disdain for the League OF
Nations. One Senator intimated that
Henry Cabot Lodge contributed lib
orally to the Presidents manuscript
on that point
1t was pointed out that President
Harding uses language almost iden-
tical with that of President Wilson
in submitting the Versailles Treaty
and covenant. Mr.. Wilson declared
that there was no compulsion except
the compulsion OF our good con-
science and judgment" in the League
covenant and with the article which
pledged a respect for territorial in
tegrity. Mr.. Harding declares there
is mo commitment to armed force,
no alliance, no written or moral OBJ
legation to join in defense, no eX-
pressed or implied commitment 10
arrive at any agreement" and he
adds, Except in accordance with our
constitutional methods"
Mr.. Harding further supports a
Wilson viewpoint on the idea OF
reciprocal engagements to respect
territorial integrity. Another passage
which was marked as inviting COM
parison with the Wilson utterances
in favor of the League is this para
graph in Mr.. Harding's address:
"If nations may not safely
agree TO respect each others
rights and may not agree to con-
fer If one TO the compact threat
ems trespass, or may not agree to
advise II one party to the pact
Is threatened by an outside power,
