The sudden ending of the great
war left in existence the most power
ful Uacue of nations the world has
ever known. It was composed of a
score of nations united by a great
common cause and fighting for com
mon ends fully understood.. It was
within the power of that league of
nations, in the determination of the
i terms of peace stipulated for the end-
! ins of the war, to settle at the coun
cil, table everything affecting and
affected by the war, aud thereby to
i give the world assurance that these
i problems, at least, would not again
menace its peace. ,
; But the Paris pe;tee 1 conference,
largely because of the influence of
; President Wilson, has failed to do
'the natural and essential things in
cident to a peace council. It has
scarcely touched its hand to the work
of adjusting the economic, territorial
and military problems presented at
the war's ending; today these prob
lems are more serious, the peace of
the world is therefore now more in
jeopardy, than it was the day the
armistice was signed. Through the
insistence of President Wilson the
peace conference has left undone the
things it ought to have done; the
time of the conference has been ex
pended developing a scheme of world
government, a task which belonged,
not to a peace conference, composed
of men whose commissions are based
upon military exigency, but to a
legislative body representative of the
peoples affected. The peace con
ference had a clear commission to

so tie the problems immediately
growing out of the war; it had no
commission whatever to write a new
constitution for the world, though it
might properly have ca!!ed into being
an international legislative body
charged with this duty.
It is evidently a part of the strat
egy of President Wilson, whose can
didacy for re-election as President ou
the issuts he is creating is . fore
shadowed by the recent statement of
Norman Mack, former chairman of
the Democratic national committee,
to make it appear that he is now, as
he was during the campaign of 1916,
the world's one guarantee of peace
The "he keeps us out of war" slogan
has been revived. The effort is made
to have i' appear that all those who
are not in favor of President Wilson's,
scheme of world reorganization, are
apostles of war. though the chief
argument against the plan proposed
is that it does not remove the menace
of war, but Involves us in entangle
ments likely to keep us perpetually
at war, and for causes in which we
are not directly concerned.
The people of this country favor a
:ourt of naions for arbitration of
international disputes aud the reduc
tion of armaments. They notice, in
connection with President Wilson's
league scheme, that It is considered
entirely consistent with the plan that
one of the constituent nations Is to
maintain the mastery "of the seas
through the ownership of the world's
most powerful navy. The people are
not sure, therefore, that even In ex
change for the surrender of national
sovereignty apparently involved, we
are to be insured against war, of the
rule of force. But if we are to be
come members of a world league, the
people of this country undoubtedly
favor the inclusion in the world cou
siiiutiun oi certain reserved powers
of American nationality. Such re
served rights for Ihe Individual and
the state governments were found
essential to the acceptance of the
American constitution. These are
found set forth in the first ten
amendments, and are known as the
"bill of rights" of the constitution.
They include provisions for freedom
of speech and the press, the right to
bear arms, right of trial by jury, etc.
There are certain national rights
which opponents of the league of
nations scheme as proposed believe
are menaced under its provisions, but
which its friends say are not by any
reasonable interpretation threatened.
Then let there be included in this
constitution of the league of nations,
a bill of national rights something
like this:
"Nothing in this constitution shall
be interpreted:
"To supplant the Monroe doctrine;
("To substitute international for
na'lonal sovereignty;
"To impair or destroy the rights
of American citizens at home or
abroad;
"To iimit thn right of the Ameri
can people to determine for tiiem
selvos their ovi domestic policies,
particularly those bearing upon the
la. ill and immigration;
"To involve the United States hi
any war without the specific approval
of the American Congress;
' "To abrogate any guarantee of the
American constitution;
"To impose any liability for the
policing or financing of any foreign
government or territory, not author
ized by the American Congress;
"To prevent the United States
from maintaining a3 large a navy a3
any other power;
"To prevent the American govern
ment from withdrawing from the
proposed league of nations, by giving
reasonable notice of intention, when
ever the league operates to the
serious impairment of just American
rights and interests."
If there are no hidden dangers in
the proposed constitution of the
league of nations, what possible ob
jection can there be to the clear
setting forth, within the document,
of the things the American people
would not surrender except through
deception?
The seed, not of peace, but of war,
is in any governmental compact
which leaves unsettled differences
which may become Irreconcilable.
The greatest war ever waged In the
world, prior to the present war was
the American Civil war. It was
fought, necessarily, because the Am
erican constitution failed to settle
two fundamental questions: Human
slavery; and the right of secession.
With this precedent in view, foolish
Indeed would be the policy of ac
cepting the proposed constitution of
a league of nations without settling,
ho far as is possible, every question
wWh in the future might, if left un
determined, present to this country
the alternatives of war, unequally
waged, or the sacrifice of American
fundamentals.
