THE PEACE TREATY BALLOT
FolIowinK the armistice, the representatives of 28 na
tions, including our own, drew up and signed at Pans a
peace treaty with Germany, Part 1 being the League ot
Nations Covenant. This was also signed under compul
sion by Germany.
During the special session of congress that ended on
November 19th, a series of 15 reservations to this treaty
and covenant was adopted by the senate on recommen
dation of the foreign relations committee. When the rat
ifying resolution came to a vote of the senate, however, a
two-thirds majority being necessary for adoption, it was
defeated ; 41 senators voted to ratify with reservations, 39
to ratify without reservations, while 15 voted against rati
fication on any conditions whatever.
This is a democracy and in the end the will of the Peo
ple will be acted upon byour representatives in Wash
ington. pui,iic sentiment on this most important ques
tion of modern times, the East Oregonian asks its readers
to state their atitude by checking that one of the follow
ing statements which expresses meir views.
