THE HIGH CRIME OF THE HOLD-UP
(The following leading editorial appeared in the Springfield Re
publican of March 4:)
The Senates High Crime
If there has been any performance in the United States Senate,
chamber since the impeachment trial of President Andrew Johnson
more disheartening than the present performance in relation to the
peace treaty, what was it pray! The Senate is not functioning; it
is pcrforminir. Both sides of the chamber reek with polities. Lodge
is terrorized by Borah and Hitchcock is under the spell of the White
House.
"What moral right have we to keep Europe in a fog of uncer
tainty as to America's ultimate policy whileour politicians "carry
the treaty issue to the people" next autumn with the result that
when the votes are counted no living man can tell what the people
thought of the treaty? When the issue is reduced to its lowest terms. I Conceal it

whether members of the league or not under the provisions
of article 10, or to employ the military or naval forces of
the United States under any article of the treaty for any

.independence of any other country under the provisions of
w article 10,or to employ the military or naval forces of the
. United States under any article of the treaty for any pur

sole power in the premises wilt consider and decide what
moral obligation, if any, under the circumstances of any
particular case, when it arises, should move the United States,
in the interest of world peace and justice, to take action
therein and will act accordingly.

When a fellow really needs

weakened eyes, he must hare
someone else read to him.
So many people, because of
neglect of their eyes In ear
lier life, are now depending
upon others.
Had they provided the friend

at the right time in their
life, they would' still be en

There is a sood deal of dissatis
faction over the declaion, probably
arrived at through British Influence,
to retain the sultan at Constanti
nople. Drivinc tbe Turk out of
Europe has become a hopeful slogan
with many people, but there are
factors to militate against this con
summation so devoutly to be wlsbel.
The whole question Is largely a
religious one, embodying respect for
the susceptibilities of the Moslem
faith, of whose adherents the world
contains many millions. Britain's
empire contains nearly two hundred
millions of them, chiefly in India,
all of whom recognize the sultan as
their spiritual head, and Constanti
nople as the sacred capital. To
drive the sultan out of Constanti
nople would be equivalent to driving
the pope out of Rome, and the lcng-
heralded "holy war." In which all
Mosletna In every; part of the earth
would combine against the Chris
tians, might lecome a dread reality
In such contingency.
Britain Is tot alone In recognis
ing this condition. Moft of the pow
ers, including the United States,
rule over lare Moslem communities
The recent mistis girea us nearly a
France
African
Moslem depend i-ncies. And in ad
dition the Moslem faith is hell by
ir.ormous quotas In Cbirt and Ja
pan.
It is therefore disturbing to Imag
ine the stressful pass to which the
allies must have been brought when
Constantinople waa conceded to Rus
sia, by secret treaty 'n the early days
of the war. Russia must. Indet-d.
have seemed to hoH thr whip band
in those dread days tbe period
when she was making her succenscs
against Germany under the cxar. It
is easy to see tbe ominous misgiving
hich must have followed the bar
gain, and the virulence with which
the" allies are now repudiating It
as against the Bolshevik government
In Russia. The sultan ia mighty In
his apparent weakness, and with all
bis misrule and semlng Impotence
will remain bis
stronghold by. as Is now becoming
obvious, the will of the bit; Kuropean
powers. Dire eipediency must pro
tect the Integrity of Constantinople
for the Molens. otl.erwlae another
and more terrible world war would
seem Inevitable.
It Is easy for tbe enthusiastic but
uninformed to shout Ihite tbe Turk
out ofa Europe" and to condemn the
present action of the allies. It Is
easy to cite a hundred reason, la
eluding the Armenian atroctilea. for
so doing. But the quettfor U far
wider and deeper, as the Informed

Si
sre poignantly aware. Not for noth
ing did the Young Turk party, with
all its progressive republican theor
ies, retain the sultan In power with
his religious supremacy. To Mos
lems the sultan is no ordinary hu
man being, no ordinary monarch,
but has divine mandates direct from
Cod. An Insult to their sultan Is an
Insult to their religion, and to the
Moslem his religion Is life Itself.
World statesmen have therefore a
mighty problem in regard to Tarkey.
Every move they make now is watch
ed by many millions of critical Mos
lem eyes. The final solution will
be found to leave the saltan and
his Europesn possessions practically
Intact, subject to essentia! restric
tions and watchful guidance. But
If the United States Is anilous to
avoid entangling alliances It Is wis
In Its dsy to refuse a mandate in
that quarter. The Turkish ques
tion is loaded to lbe tuunle.
