THE . OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND TUESDAY, JUNE 8, 1820. in APPEARS IH SPECTACULAR RALLY III CHICAGO By William Slavens McNntt (United New Staff Correspondent) , Chicago, June 8. In a final pre conventio'n" rally characterized by all the spotlight, band music and hoorah .features that have , made him the most colorful of all the candidates, Hiram W. Johnson staged & spec tacular climax toj a spectacular fight in a speech at the .auditorium. 'Johnson's adherents have - furnished practically all the audible enthusiasm her thas far, and in acclaiming- him to night they shamed the prophets who had : predicted that the day of snake dances, torchlight processions, bands and en thusiastic throngs jamming the streets , to cheer their idol's appearance on a balcony were methods of the past. Several hundred people, gathered be fore the auditorium to await the opening of the doors, set up a prolonged cheer ing which started the rumor that John - son was then making an appearance on the balcony of the hotel. Investigation disclosed the fact that the crowd was . cheering a moving picture operator talc- tng their tplcture from an adjacent win dow. - : Some local men : were mean enough to call attention to the fact that a large number of municipal automobiles were parked in the vicinity and insisted that the demonstration was being staged by city employes at the behest of.-big Bill Thompson as a slap at Lovden.

If this had been done we could have had full peace with Germany three months after the armia Uoe, ... . SATIOS1LISM FAVORED ' ' This Mr. Wilson prevented. He went to Kurope with the greatest opportunity for large service . to the world ever of fered, to any one man. He insisted on spins himself, for he trusted no one else. We then had the confidence.- the grati tude and the friendship of every Eu ropean nation, which thanks' to the presi dent, we possess no longer. - If .Mr. Wil sor. had said: "We came here to help you win this war in defense of civiliza tion. The war is won. Alt we now in sist Upon is that Germany shall be put In such a position as not to be able again to "threaten the peace and freedom of mankind. - Our ' own . questions in the American hemisphere we will care for ourselves. - We have interests in the Far East which we shall wish to have protected, but your own European ques tions you must settle and we will accept th settlement to which you agree. We are not here seeking territory or to dic tate what you shall do in regard to either territory or boundaries." Then indeed we should have been en titled to the gratitude of the world, not only for our decisive services in the war, but for generous . assistance in making a lasting peace. ! But Mr. Wil son did not do this. He had apparently only one aim, to be the maker of a league of which he should be the head. He was determined that there should be a League of Nations then and there and in order to nullify the powers of the senate given by the constitution of the United State.i he decided co make the league an integral part of the Treaty of peace with Germany.' Thus he presented to the senate, and intended to present, a dilemma from which - he believed there was no escape. In order to have 'peace with' Germany he meant to compel . the senate to accept with it the .League of Nations. It was Indeed a difficult sit uation which he thus created. But the Republican senators believed their duty to be clear before them and - did not shrink from fulfilling it. Thirty-nine of them in March, 1919, signed a statement setting forth that the first draft of the league as Mr. Wilson brought it back, announcing that it must be taken just as it stood, could not: be accepted by the senate in that form, f ; ! SEXATE HOLDS BACK i - - The president returned to Europe with this warning before him and before the world. He admitted a few slight changes in the covenant, for i the moat part un important and some bf which made the second draft worse than the first. J He forced the allied and associated powers to yield to his demand that the covenant of the league should be interwoven with the treaty of peace, i To accomplish this he surrendered the principle of the free dom of the seas whatever that may have been to Great Britain, and he made promises and concessions to France not yet fulfilled which brought him the French support. ? Having thus carried his point abroad he brought the treaty with Germany home and laid it Dei ore tne senate, to we great mass of the American Deonle he said : "This covenant of the League of Nations will bring to the world a lasting peace. - veryone desired lasting peace and, without pausing to consider or even to read the covenant, thousands upon thou sands of (rood people united in the de- mand that the senate ratify and take the league at once and without consideration.- Just as it stood. - The Repub licans of the senate, nerceivine' the dan- gers of the league, determined to resist ; Mr. Wilson s demand, even at the cost ' of delaying the treaty of ' peace with Germany. They felt that the one thing I necessary was to have the people under 1 stand the treaty, that they ntijrht realize i what it meant and what it threatened. ; So the long debate) began and it has j lasted for more than a year. At 'the J. outset that portion of the people who .wished an instantaneous and unqual ified acceptance of 1 a covenant which j most of them had never read had pos session in large measure or tne press .and other methods of obtaining public ity ana tnus were aoie to Keep up i ; continual cry : for Immediate ratifica J Hon. The vocal part of the community j felt Almost universally, as they listened i to each, other's voices, that the whole ; country was with them, but they forgot tne great inarticulate masses of the people who went silently about their work and their business,, who did not write letters to the newspapers or pub lish circulars , or spend millions in spreading their views through powerful organs and active associations, but who simply loved their country and thought iirst or tne interests or America. j CLAIMS SEKTtMENT CHARGED The debate in ' the senate spread ' to them. (They read the speeches, they lis tened to the arguments, and. what was far more important,! they began to read and discuss the covenant of the league themselves, in the street, by the firesides,- wherever men and women meet together. They began to understand the league. They began to know what it' meant. They saw it was an allianoe and not a Ieaaue for peace. They saw that it did not mention The Hague con ventions, wnicn we ; au uesirea to nave restored as foundations for further ex tensions ; did nothing for the develop ment of international law, nothing for a world court and Judicial decisions,' and nothing looking toward an agreement as to dealinx with non-Justiciable nuestiona. These real advances toward promoting peace, tnese constructive measures were all disregarded and the only court men tioned waa pushed Into an obscure cor ner. - ... . . - The people began, to perceive with an intense clearness that - this alliance, silent as to real peace agreements, con tained clauses which threatened the very existence of the United States as an independent power threatened Its sovereignty, threatened Its peace, threat ened its -life. The masses of the people became articulate. - Public opinion steadily changed and today the number of Americans who -would be willing fo accept the covenant of the League of Nations Just as the president brought it" DacK irom uurope is negligible. The American people- will never accept that alliance with foreign nations proposed by the president. The president mean time has remained inflexible. He is de termined to have that treaty as he brought it back or nothing and to that .imperious demand the people will reply m tones wnicn cannot, oe misunderstood. No man who thinks of America first need rear the answer. THE FAMOTJS ARTICLE X 7 Mr. Wilson said ! in a recent letter to Senator Hitchcock: "For my own part I am not willing to trust to the counsel of diplomats the working out of any salvation of the world from the things which it has suffered." And he said this In behalf of an alliance whose represen tatives will all be diDlomata and noli. ticians. They will all act in behalf of me interests oi tnetr respective countries and they vdl? have nothing , Judicial about them. Strip the league of every clause which involves the action of po litical renresentatives in the Momxh and the council and you leave but one article in which the diplomat of i the league as such will have no power. 3 --That,Os the famous Article X. Most or the league covenant was prepared by General Smuts of South Africa, but w me wors . or the presi dent of the-United States. - It t tn.. k. article is free from diplomats, but it icsiB enureur upon naxea iorce. In that way peace is tar be nrasMi-mri . ,a nations freed from war by multiplying the opportunities for the use of force. ?!Jf5, 'yidual fcation is bound by Article X to. go to war for the protec- i?H,th,.,trPlt?rilU integrity and the political independence . of every - other nation in. the world at the time of signa ture ; that is, for the protection of states L.Kifi1 not Tet determined L.Jf5ithh8hel. 3or Protection of boundary which no man can define. We were to give such a guarantee and any of the countries in the league in the event -of exterior- aggression could and our soldiers and sailors must then have gone forth at the command of for eign countries, unless we shattered all olemn moral obligation. The Repub licans or tne - senate, no matter what their future fate might be. .were de- lerniiaea ioh me covenant containing that article unmodified should never be ratified. - -It became every day clearer "rem uai uis alliance caua a ijuuq for the world's peace, was a breeder of war and an enemy of peace. As we desired to have some league if possible murcu buuuiu- ob a genuine league oi peace we found that it dragged us not only into every dispute and every war in Europe and in the rest of the world but that our soldiers and sailors might u wreeo u give tneir lives in quarrels not their own at the bidding of foreign governments. UJTITED AGAI2TST, LEAGUE It also appeared that our domestic questions, like, immigration, could be in terfered with, that the interpretation of the Monroe doctrine was to be left to " 4 uie league, uu we were to be c made . participants in the out rageous disposition of Shantung which robbed a friendly nation and gave the proceeds of the robbery te her worst enemy, and that finally we were to have in the assembly- of the league only one vote to Oreat Britain's six.
