In good faith, urge that these nations be given a voice and deny a voice to such self-governing nations us Canada, New Zealand and the rest, which relatively speaking, made fur more sucrafices In the war than our own country? It Is desirable that all countries should havs an opportunity to be heard. In the leaguer and the safety of each na tion resides In the fact that no action cad be taken without the consent of all, ItespnujriblLlty fop the Defeat of the v Treaty. It was the design of Semtor Lodge, 'from the outset to multilate the treaty and to frustrate the purposes of the administration. And yet Senator Lodge, with the help of the Irrecon cHables, having torn the treuty to tat ters and thrown Its fragments in the .face of the world, has the effrontery to suggest. In his address at Chicago, that the president blocked ratification and postponed peace. The trouble wlh the treaty of peace Is (hat It was negotiated by a demo cratic president.. It Is not difficult to assess the responsibility for its defeiit. The responsibility rests, not upon It friends, but upon the enemies. The foreign relation committee. Im mediately following the last election, was reorganized with a personnel con sisting of the open foos of the treaty. Amongst the number was Senator Bo rah, who declared that he would not he for a league of natlonB were the Savior of mankind to advocate It. Sen ator Johnson.

The members of this committee adopted every subter fuge to misrepresent the docutnen. which they wore supposed to be con sidering ns statesman. Deputations of foreign born citizens were brought to Washington In an effort to color an. exaggerate the Impression .of ..opului opposition. The senate hud even begun the dis cussion of the treaty months before it negotiation was concluded, and did nol teimlnute Its debate until nine montlu after the submission of the treuty. It took the senate nearly three times as long to kill the treaty by protracted debate and by confusing and nullify ing amundmenls and reservations a it took the reprcsetatives of the alllod governments to draft It. It was not the business of the I'rcsl dent, when he brought this treaty back from France to Join : with Mr. Lodge and other republican leaders In their deliberate purpose to destroy It. Had he Initiated, suggested or assentei to changes which would have sub stantially oltered Its nature. It would hove been a distinct breach of faith with his associates of the Peace Coun cil and a violation of American pledges. Everyone acquainted with diplomatic usages, or' with the plait requirements of honesty, understands this. The foolish Invention that the president refused to permit the dot ting of an "I" or the crossing of a "t" has been so often repeated that many honest people believe In' Its truth. In every speech msde during hit tour, the president stated entire will ingness to accept any and all reserva tions nbt incompatible with America'1 honor and true Interests. It Is the plain Intent of the covenant that the Monroe Doctrine Is excluded, that do mestic questions are exempted, that not one American can be sent out of tho country without formal action by congress and that the right of with drawal is absolute. If there are word which can make these meanings clear er, they will be welcomed. It Is not reservations that the president stands against, but nullification. When the president came back from Paris In February, 1819. he brought the first tentative draft of the cove nant of the League of nations. He gave publicity to It. It was published throughout the land. He invited the friends of such a league to submit criticisms. Former President Taft of fered four amendments: former Sena tor Itoot offered six amendments, and Mr. Hughes suggested seven. It a meeting of the committee on foreign relations ut the white house In March, 1019. other changes were suggested. These amendments were taken back b the president to Paris and their sub stance was actually Incorporated in the revised draft at the league. ' Dr. Low ell, president of Harvard University. In his Joint debnle with Senator Lodge, invited the lotter to suggest construc tive amendments which the president might Incorporate in the draft; hut he refused so to do. At no time has he offered destructive criticism.

' .. i ' .Tho Cause of Peace. - The war had set a great task for statesmanship. The best thought of the world demanded that a serious at tempt be made by te leaders of'the al lied governments to formulate a treaty of peace which, should prevent the re currence of war. Every right'ful Im pulse of the human heart was In ac cord "with that purpose.. From time immemorial men 'have dreaded of peace; poets have sung of it! philos opherss have written about it; "states en have dscussed it; men everywhere have hoped and prayed that the day might come wen wars would n.o long er be necessary in the settlement Qf ip- tcrnatlonal differences. riv s.i "if hi i s For the first lime In the turbulent anals of tho human race, such a pro ject had become feasible. The de striK'tion of militarism, the crumbling of thrones, the dissolution of dynas ties, the world-wide upureciutfon of the Inner meaning of war and the fi nal triumph of democracy had at last made It possible to realize the dearest dream that ever crossed the night of man's dark mind. The opportunity for service was as great ns the need of the world and the failure to rntifr It must stand as a reproach for all time. . It Is said that If the dead who died in the great war were placed head to feet, they would stretch from New York to Han Francisco, and from Kan Francisco back again to New Tork; and If those who perished from star vation and other causes collateral to the wnr were placed head to feet, they would reach around the great globe it self. At this very hour, millions of mon nd women and little ohlldren-are the victims of our hesitancy. How can the heart of AJrerlca be closed to these things? I have been muny miles in this country and it has been my fortune to visit most of the states of the union. It has so happened that I have been in many states when the boys were eomlng from the front. I have seen tho great avenues of our splendid American cities lined with the popu lace, cheering and cheering again as these bravo lads marched by happy that they had come triumphantly home. But I have never witnessed there inspiring sights without think ing of the boys who did not come home. They do not rest as strangers in a strange land these soldiers of liberty. The generous heart of France enfolds them. The women and the children of Franco cover their graves with flowers and water them with tears. Destiny seized these lads and led them far from home to die for an Ideal. And yet they live and speak to us here In the Homeland, not of tri vial things but, of imomrtal things, neverence and; pUy and high resolve surely these remain to us. In that heart of hearts where the great works of man are wrought, there can be no forgetting. Oh. God, release the Im prisoned soul of America, touch once more tho hidden springs of the spirit and reveal us to ourselves! Let the true purpose of our party be Clearly understood. We stand square ly for the same ideals of peace as those for which the :war was fouKht. We support without flinching the only feasible plan for peace and Justice. We will not submit to the repudiation of the peace treaty, "r to any process by which it Is whittled down to the van ishing point. We decline to compro mise our principles or pawn our Im mortal souls for self'sh purposes. Ve do not turn our backs upn the fiistory of the last three- years. We eeek no avenue of retreat. We insist that the forward course is the only righteous course. .
