Thouirh we abhor
Thia awful war.
We shall not count the price.
Or mourn the sacrifice;
Sor shall we pxuiljte this bitter strife,
If in men's hearts a better life
Is quickened, not to die strain.
Where peace anil fellowship shall relrn.

But we'll abhor
Thia useless war
And all thts sacrifice).
And all the nwfnl price.
And count ns lost the bitter strife;
If men still lead the same old life;
If "Self" upsets mankind again
We shall have fought this war In vain.

SENATOR McNARY'S VIEW LAST JULY
JT UESDAY'S United Press dispatches report danger of a dis-
IlL agreement between republican mild reservationists and
the administration senators over Article 10. Senator Mc-
nary is quoted and mild reservationists are credited with saying
that a reservation must make clear that the general obligation
( of Article 10) is not accepted.
If Senator McNary takes such a position as that he is not only
opposed to the League of Nations but he is repudiating his own
argument made in the senate on July 22, 1919. Senator McNary
made an exhaustive speech at that time, upholding the treaty
and Article 10. The East Oregonian published his speech in
full during the Round-Up week, on September 18. Dwelling on
objections to Article 10 our senator said:
i 'f the objections of this character I take it that Article 10 is the most
obnoxious and productive of the most controversy. The statement most gen
erally made Is that this article collides with our constitution and runs across
the path ot our sacred traditions. This statement may well be challenged.
Repeatedly the argument has been advanced hat article 10 casts upon this
povernmentAn absolute obligation to go to war under any circumstances, how
ever bereft of justice. Thia indictment, in my opinion, is untenable.
Properly to analyze this provision of the covenant a distinction must be
made between the first and second parts of the article defining our obliga
tion In the event of the happening of the contingency for which it proposes
to prescribe a rule of national conduct. For obvious reasons I shall consider
the divisions of the subject in order of inversien.
'"In case of any such aggression, or in case of any threat, or danger of such
aggression, the council shall advise upon the means by which this obligation
shall be fulfilled."
In this sentence no obligation, moral or legal presses upon any country
to adopt the method to repeal aggression advised by the council. The adop
tion of the means is left to the election of various nations, though In all hu
man probability, if a situation would arise whereby concert of action was
sought, the advice of the council as to the means would be followed if be
lieved to be practicable and just. By the force of another article in the cov
enant the councU, in arriving at a decision, will be governd by unanimous
rote, the power of veto standing between this country and an unwise remdy.
Tli..t part of the article about which the controversy wages is as follows:
"The members of the league undertake to respect and prserve. ae against
external aggression, the territorial integrity and existing political independ
ence of all members of the leagtt."
Indisputably this provision casts upon this country and every other na
tion a member of the league a joint and several undertaking to go to war to
protect an associate of the league from invasion through external force, but
this obligation is in no proper sense a legal one, but purely a moral obliga
tion, entirely dependent upon the condition that the cause of the war and the
t,..i Itself is violative of the moral conscience of the American people.
Last July the senator argued clearly and logically that Ar
ticle 10 is fair and just as it stands.
Then why should there be any objection from mild reserva
tionists to accepting Article 10 as it was written at Versailles?

WHAT ARE THEY THINKING OF?
5T
'O ONE familiar with the facts will tax the Washington Post
with undue friendlieness to the present national adminis
tration. When, therefore, this paper propounds a perti
nent question to the republican congress, it is likely to be heard
with respect even if the answer is not immediate and satisfac-
"One of the first duties of congress is to put teeth into the
whir-h will enable the executive to grasp and throttle rad
icalism, expel or imprison anarchists, exterminate preachers of
violence, exclude dangerous aliens and generally to clean Amer
ica's house," says the Post. -
"What is congress thinking of, that it.should delay m this
matter?" the paper asks. Then the editorial indicates one or
both of the causes in its next question. J'ls it lacking in individ
ual or committee ilnitiative or courage ? "
Attorney General Palmer has repeatedly pointed out to the
republican leaders of congress that additional legislation is
needed to authorize his department to deal with radicals and
"reds " When once the task has been properly sanctioned by
law there remains the need of money to enforce the statutes
Congress has refused both the authority and the funds.

the fact that Col. Harvey assails mm is to m
