The signers eieelare that every da' of elelav In ratifying the treaty puts the world in “imminent peril of new

Their statement follows: In tiie serihie at Washington, now that the i-onimittee on foreign relations lias reported Hie treaty. Hie line* are sharply drawn between the immediate rut itie-ut inn of Hie treaty of pt-ae e wit), lierivanv, anil its amenelmeiu with a reassembling of the conference and a reopening of negotiation* that would bring great deiuv and prolonged uncertainty in settling the great issues of tiie peace No partisan plea can he iiiaife Party lines are already broken.

Reservations in the nature of clarification* In the meaning of the> treaty, not inconslste'iit with Its terms, will not ree|uire the reopening of the negotiations with Germany and with our associates In the war. which we all ami each united to win. Milt there is no possibilltv of doubt that amendment of th" treat', as Is now proposed in the Fenrte Committee on Foreign Relation'' would require negotiation and a reopening of till the questions decided at Paris. Months of delay would follow The perils of the present would become the deadly dangers of Hie near future All tiie doubt engendered would aid the phi!s for violent revolution in this ami other lunds. The issues here and elsewhere between capital and labor, the conspiracy of speculator anel profiteer. would all grow and become more perilous. This cannot lie 1 . The American people cannot, after a victorious war. nermit its govern men t to petition Germany. which has accepted the treaty, for Its consent to uftanges in the trea tv. > et if the i'nfted States should amend the treaty for it* own purpose si <i policy.

I cm-c i sclf, the peace of the world, is delayed until ratification comes A net aiiy amendment postpones peace. Germany and England alone of the principal powers have ratified. The ether principals necessarily await our action, influential and powerful as we are today in tiie world's affairs. Tbe ravages of war e,n more than a score of fighting front* are continued bv any needless delay. I^t the senat* give the world peace by ratification without amendment. Even the amemlmsiit for which most esn he said. th*. provision in re gsrd tn Shantung, will secure uotbiug which canae^t be gained if China, hacked by th* powerful advocacy o f Ihe rnileil States, addresses Itself to the Machinery for righting iuternatlon si wrongs surf Heotiag just claims created by tha league bptweea nation* China, after eighty year* of oppressive treaties and despoiled rights, by which all the great pewers have profiled directly or indidirectly, has for the Hnt time, is this covenant sad treaty, the menus aud method tv secure just Ice and tiie re'll oval of the oppressive econetufc Isterfereace of stranger nations whose citizens are within her gstes, protected by a lung successien of International agreements. Moreover, it should he reive inhered that tbe clause regarding Stas oiling was made upon tfie *t element by Japan *hat she will ret lira the territory to China, nnti therefore, upon that condition, compliance wi'h whirl; premise Ihe league can require. The peace of the present and the righteousness of the future rum be best secured by the ratificatiea of Ihe covenant and treaty without amend-' ment.
