1 A Change of Front
When Senator Borah introduced his resolution request
ing the president to call an economic conference to pass upon
European affairs, it was an admission that the leader of the
irreconcilables had surrendered and abandoned the policy
of American isolation. It was a. vindication of the policy of
Woodrow Wilson, of American participation in world affairs
and in the settlement of the reconstruction problems of
Europe.
When President Harding requested the senate to defeat
the Borah resolution because it would embarrass the ex
ecutive and tie his hands in dealing with foreign issues, and
as a legislative infringement upon the constitutional rights
of the executive branch, charsred with the conduct of foreism
relations, he also vindicated the position of Woodrow Wilson
in his clash with the senate over the peace treaty.
The president's request and Senator Lodge's plea for its
observance, are in direct conflict with the position that both
Senators Lodge and Harding and other senate leaders took
when Mr. Wilson was president. They now demand that
the republican president be left alone in the management of
foreign affairs and that the senate confine itself to approval
or disapproval of the treaties negotiated by the executive
branch. With a democratic president they declared that the
senate should conduct foreign affairs and Lodge's "round
robin" on the peace treaty was an ultimatum to that effect,
a declaration that the treaty would be rejected unless framed
by the senate.
Senator Borah in his speech of capitulation for the erst
while isolationists, justified his course by the same argu
ments that President Wilson made in behalf of the treaty of
Versailles three years ago, when he claimed that America
was vitany concerned in any settlement or the economic
affairs of the world and could not escape the consequences.
Mr. Borah declared:
"I look upon the question of dealing with the economic problems
as distinctly at this time as an American question, not .exclusively
bo but inclusively so. It has reached the point where we are as
