Under these conditions, to regain
her own, Russia would attack Japan.
Her attack would menace not only
Japan in Siberia, but Japan on her
home islands. These islands, by
secret agreement, have been made
the heart of the "insular possessions
and dominions" that the United
States guarantees under the treaty.

are matters of course in interna-
t:onal relationship treaty or con-

pass. All civilized nations do these
things before every war.

lodge remonstrances at Moscow and

The four Powers would meet to
talk war, to devise war, and to
pledge themselves to war! The Rus
slams could be repealed only by
force. To force, then, the nations
would be bound, by every obliga-
ton known to honor or international
law.
But the United States might OBJ

and Japan would vote one way-for
war. They have proved that they
thus understand the obligation and
not otherwise. The United States
would be minority-one to three.
The question would be decided
against us. We should be bound,
Is it thinkable' Can an American
citizen in his sober senses imagine
American delegates exposing this
nation, this people, to such career
of conflict, conquest and national deg
radiation in behalf of a strange race
and distant empirei The posi-
bilities stagger the imagination.
Were it not for the text of the
treaty, were it not for the revela-
tons of our secret pledges to Japan,
no man of intelligence would be-
lieve such things could be conceived

No amiable words, no lofty hopes

set forth. The language is familiar.
The Interpretation is established.
The practice among nations beyond
question. The Presidents assur-

only mislead the people.
Something strange has happened,
some spell has been cast. Saturated
with propaganda, drenched with
sentiment, the men who are sup
posed to be safeguarding the destiny
of the United States have failed
utterly in the Washington Confer
ence. They surrender, they sacri-
fee, they betray great interests.
They yield valuable rights, concede
vital policies, commit the life of
the people to abhorrent enterprises.
What, then, do all the fine words
and lofty sentiments come to? War

sudden death-war with sorrow,
with devastation, with debt and i'm

Minister Lloyd Georges famous non-

visional In its nature, IL is hoped TO

Premier Facta OF Italy. as presi-
dent OF the conference. solemnly
closed its sessions by bidding fare
we'll to all the delegations, thanking
them for their valuable work and ex-
pressing best wishes for n future
prosperity OF all the nations.
The Dutch minister, on behalf Of
Holland. voiced the assurance that
everything possible would DO done by
The Netherlands to facilitate c C
OF the meeting at The Hague The
| keynote of all the remarks at the

out to the Russian soviet representa-

premier remarked.
Foreign Minister Tchitcherine OF
Russia protested against the exclu'
sion of the Russians from the work

egation retorted that they had been
| left out because they did not attend
the meetings and seemed to show lit
tie interest in the cause Of labor.
NJ. Tchitcherin's last word at the
! conference was that the real cause
of the failure to obtain a settlement
of the Russian question was that the
feeling of equality between Russia
and the Other powers had not been
maintained.
Baron Hayashi of Japan agreed
with Lloyd George in declaring great
good had been accomplished by the
conference. He went h British am
