WHY THE
AS THE American constitution summed up tho exper
iences of the American 'colonies in their relations
with each in an effort to secure, hamonioxis relations be
tween the sovereign states, so does the constitution of the
league of nations sum up the experiences of the allied na
tions in their international relations. All the lessons the
nations have learned in their contact have been embodied,
as far as possible, to provide a tentative frame work for
harmonious international rotations without infringing the
national rights of the individual nations.
In the process of time, this constitution will probably
be changed to meet the changed conditions, as Hie Ameri
can constitution has been amended. Gradually the federal
power has been extended oyer the power of the sovereign
states and in the course of tune, the power of the interna
tional league will probably be similarly extended, if it
proves the part of wisdom.
The league of nations marks the first attempt of the na
tions of the world to unite in a common effort to provide
peaceable settlements of disputes. It marks the progress
of the world, just as the American federation did nearly a
century and a half ago. '
What President Wilson lias been trying to do at '-Paris
was summarized in hi address to congress Jan. 8, 19.18,
which embraced the famous 1-t-points upon which an abid
ing peace could be formulated. At the time, this address
was highly commended among the nations of the" earth,
and the congress of the United States and the American
press joined in the chorus of approval. .- . ,
It is interesting, now that these points have been em
bodied in a real constitution, and the "dream of an ideal
ist" become an actuality to review the opinions then ex
pressed by the newspapers now opposing the league of
nations.
The Xew York Sun, ono of the bitterest opponents of
today, remarked as follows then :
We commend the admirable precision with which President Wilson
has stated the principles which the allies regard as essential to permanent
peace. Every shch sincere statement brings nearer the peace of victory:
not a victory of destruction or dismemberment or racial disaster to the
Teuton peoples, but a victory over the militaristic autocracy and the self
ish dynasties which America and "her allies are making it their business to
put out of business for the sake of the future of the big and little peoples
of this distressed planet. j
The New York Tribune, now assailing the league of
nations, said in an editorial entitled "Beyond Praise:"
In a deep sense Mr. Wilson's words constitute a second Emancipation
proclamation. As Lincoln freed the slaves of the south half a century
aeo, Mr. Wilson now pledges his country to fight for the liberation of the
Belgian and the Pole, the Serb and the Roumanian. For the long-suffering
populations of Alsace-Lorraine and Italia Irredenta tho words of the
president of the United States are a promise of freedom after a slavery a
thousand times worse than that of the negro.
In every real sense Mr. Wilson is leading his people on what may
prove the last crusade. - --
Republicans in congress and out, generally approved
the 14 points, the only dissent being in regard to the third
point which some thought the president's words "the re
moval, so far as possible, of all economic ban-id's" niiirht
mean universal free trade.
pressed by the republican legislature of New York in the
following resolution: t . : .' . . ' . . -. ,
Resolved, That the senate and assembly of the state of New York, for
the legislature and on behalf of the people of the state, do hereby app'rovo
and indorse the statement of aims in the president's message, and do
hereby extend to the president of the United States sincere and 'heartfelt
congratulations upon the manner in which he has mado clear to the world
the attitude of the cnited States of America in this world crisis.
Until the war was over, there was no hostile criticism
of the president's suggestions, or of the proposed league
of nations and then a virulent attack was began upon
both the president and the league, in an effort to create
partisan capital.
As ex-President Taft-remarked, the league is not a
party affair, and critics are partisans rather than Ameri
cans and all true Americans should support the league
for the welfare of humanity and the progress of the world.
