of lil country gave us when retir
ing from tha presidency, ho lookod
Into thu future ns far a human eye
could''oo, and desired to glvo us a
chart for our civic affair.
On May tCth. President Wilson
Mid: "It was not merely because of
n pausing und transient clrcumstnnco
that Washington said that wo must
keep from entangling alliance; It
was because ho saw that no conntry
had yet ,tl It face In tho same di
rection In' which 'America hnd set hnr
fare, Wo cannot form alliance with
tbosn who nro not going our way;
and In our might and iiajely and In
tho cnnfldenca of our own purpose
wo need not, and wo should not form
alliance with any nation In tho
world.
In 19H President Wilson was
ngalnst uch an alliance, a bo I npw
endeavoring to force down tho
throat of tho American senate. In
191G ho said: "tho certain prospect
of the success of the Hopubllcan
party I that wo shall bo drawn In
ono form or another Into the em
barrassment ot Kurope?" Docs ho
hostltatn now to put us Into tho "cm
barrssments of Kurope?" I It for
hi own exploitation?
In 1914 he approved tho advlco of
Washingten: ho statod that this
country "should not form alllaces
with nation who are not going our
way." "Not going our way.'' Is Ja
pan going tho way ot America?
Japan entered Into a secret alllanco
mado In 1917, with England and
France, which gave to her tho pro
vince of Shantung In China, with
40,009,000 peoplo to hold a vas
sal. Is that going Amorlca'a way?
President Wilson I ready to for
get what ha said In 1914 In pralio
of the message of Washington to tho
American peoplo. In 1917 Kngtand,
Franco nml Japan entered Into n o
crct treaty, tho consideration of
which wu that Japan was to get
Hhnntung, n territory nlmoit a largo
a England, with 40,000,000 peoplo.
President Wilson In hi tour through
tho west last fall stated: that Eng
land and Franco were forced to en
tor Into that treaty In ordor to got
Japun into tho war. Whon thntMalo
nionl was mndo Henator Korriss liiv
medhtely lont n telegram to Presi
dent Wilson lolling him ho wan mis
taken; 'that Japnn went Into tho war
In 1914, and that tho treaty wan
mndo In 1917. President Wilson Im
mediately wired back to Senator
N'orrlss thnnklng him for correcting
an unintentional Inaccuracy, Vet
four tlnn's after ha had wired to
Sonator Norrlsa, acknowledging that
ho was mistaken, President Wilson
mndo tho snmo statement, reltterat
Ing that Japan forced thl treaty,
thl secret 'troaty, out ot England
and Franco, before sho would go Into
the. war. Yot that treaty was mado
throo years afterward. .
President Wilson going to tho
poaco table, proclaiming tho condi
tions of pence, ntatod that no necrut
understandings Hhould bo ac
knowledged or rntltlod; yot ono of
tho very first things wo are akod to
ratify In tho Versailles troaty, of
which tho loaguo ot nations Is a part
Is tho surrender of Shantung to Ja
pan Shantung which was ownod by
ono of our allies In the war, not
our enoniV, and they took It away
from China, our frlond, and gavo It
over to Japan.
The sonato ot tho United States
was unwilling to condone that rape
on the part of Japan; yot president
was willing to do so. Secretary Lans
ing was askod about tho matter In
tho soanto committee and ho satd
that he and Mr. White and Mr.
Dllss, tho throo American commis
sioners Cot, Houso and President
Wilson being the othqr two mem
bers, were all against tho ratifica
tion of that secret troaty, mndo with
out tho knowlodgo ot Prcsldont
Wilson who knew nothing at alt
about It until he sat at tho peace
tablo, but Socrotary Lansing said
thoy wore under the direction ot
President Wilson and thoy had to
acqlosce In his Ideas.

Washington, .with prophetic eyes and
prophetic tongue looked Into tho
future, whon ho said: Heal patriots

pected and odious, whllo Its tools
and dupe usurp tho applaus and tho
confidence ot tho peoplo to surrend
er their Intorost. Tho real patriots
aro rondered odious or aro intended
to be rondorod odious, by tho very
prosldent who shares with thorn the
treaty-making powor. What did
Prosldent Wilson say In attempting
to render the real patriots odious,
as George Washington foretold? Lis
ten to the language used by blm
with roference to tho senate of tho
United States. ' .
"They are men of Infinite timidity.
They nre scuttlers from tho nation's
duty. The pro-Gorman eloment has
lifted Its head. I hear tho hiss of
the hyphen. The only objector to
tho treaty Is the hyphenated Amer

He said ho would like to seo them

whon ho said that real patriots wore

odious whllo there tools and dupe
usurp Iho applause and confidence
of tho peoplo to surrender their in
terests. I um ready to follow tho princi
ples, the maxims and tho admoni
tions ot Washington and Jefferson,
rather than tho maxims ot the man.
tho first president of tho
States to lenvo our shores
United States deserve the censure
and the odium that has been put
upon them. " -
Whon you examlno tho treaty and
whon you examine tho reservations,
you will find that alt the senators
endeavored to do was to Amerlcanlio
tho treaty, (eserying to the congress
ot the United States tho right to say
whether or not our boys should bo
sent across the waters, reserving to
the united states tho right to say
what the Monroe Doctrine Is, re
serving to .the congress ot United
States tho right to say whother the
United i taxpayers money shall be spent In
for for-1 Kuroponn warfare or not.
elgn shoros, tho first prcsldont tluitj What Is the first reservation that
over disregarded tho warning ot
Washington about tho insidious wiles
ot forolgn Influenco and his advise
against our entering Into ontangllng
alliances. Tho prosldent endeavor
ed to havo thoso senators held up
to scorn, but tho American peoplo
believe that his attitude and his ef
forts Justify the wisdom ot Washing
ton. Dut, thank God, he has failed.
The American .peoplo will ever look
upon these senators as real American
patriots, and will ever look upon
the annals of the senate relating to
tno peace treaty as one or me im
perishable annals ot our country's
history. Ever will they look upon
Senator Lodge, and Knox, and Tleed,
and Borah, and Senator Johnson, as
real patriots, who deserve a place
among the Immortelles of our coun
try. They woro roviled "but their
rovller reviled him not. '
The tempter has a snare for all,
and pitying tears, not scorn and
wrath; befit his fallen fall.
All else is gone, from those great
eyes; the soul has fled.
Whon fntth Is lost; whon honor's
gone, the man Is dead."
Lot's ta'io.a short-review ot this
knots to keep tbelr bodies from un- treaty; tbls 'leaguo of nations. Lot's
tho senato ot tho United Statos put
on tho treaty! Tho United States
so understands and considers article
one; that in case of notice ot with
drawal from tho league ot nations
as provided In said article, the
United States shall be the sole Judge
as to whether alt Ita international
obligations under said covenant have
been fulfilled, and notice of with
drawal may be given by concurrent
resolution of congress.
Anything wrong about that? What
was the purpose of that reservatlaa?
Article one provides that any mem
ber of the loague may after two
years' notice ot Intention withdraw
from the league provided that alt Us
International obligations and all Us
obligations under this covenant shall
have been fulfilled at the time of the
withdrawal. Under this as written,
the United States could not withdraw
from the league ot nations it one na
tion objected. The matter ot the
determination ot whether or not the
United States could withdraw rests
In Slam, In Haytt and in those other
ot similar calibre countries, The
United States might contend that It
had fulfilled all Its International ob
ligations, but under the terms ot the
OW7, ICflftUg VI Hft,wU.l M..IfllllVUt www mmmv. ,111 NIUH vt uv
see whether the senators ot the I league ot aa.lou coveaant, tha
United States could not withdraw un
til It satisfied every member ot the
loague that It had, fulfilled all, Us
obligations. Is there any reasoaable
objection to such a reservation as
that! The senate was wise In put
ting In the provision that in case we
Joined the leaguo ot nations, and It
was found that' others were not go
ing in the same direction that we
woro going In, we could withdraw
when wo wanted to, unless this pro
vision was. put in wo would not with
draw from the league It 81am or
Hhyti or others objected.
What Is another reservation:. The
second ono Is that article ono ot' the
j covenant be so amended so aa to pro-
vldo that tho Unltod States shall be
granted the .right to cast the same
number of votes as any other mem
ber of he league. In other words,
that United State will not be bound
In any case whero England has six
votes, her own vote and the addition
al votes ot five ot her colonies are
cast.
Tho next reservation Is; that la
case the colonies cast five votea la
a matter In which England and the
United States are In controversy,
even though England refrains from
casting her vote and United States
refrains from casting Ita vote, that
the United States will not be bound.
The United States la unwilling to
go Into this treaty although the
big brother England may not vote
It the five little brothers each have
a vote. That Is tho meaning ot tats
provision. j
The next reservations Ishat no
person Is or' shall be authorised to
