LANSING FOR THE LEAGUE

In a speech to his neighbors Saturday, Secretary Lansing declared himself as being unequivocally in favor of the league covenant, and demanded that “the treaty Should be ratified without delay and without change.” We said that there is nothing in the treaty “which invades the sovereignity of this republic or limits in any way the full exercise of such sovereignity,” even though ‘‘there may be in the treaty features which do not meet universal approval.” “It would,” he said, “be strange if it were otherwise.” The secretary insisted that normal industrial and commercial relations could not be established either here or abroad till the treaty is ratified. Mr. Lamsing has the reputation of being an honest man, and one who would not suppress his honest convictions in order to win a party ' advantage. A few days ago he was quoted by Mr. Bullitt as having said that if the American people once knew what this treaty meant they would defeat it. Now the secretary urges its ratification without change. It was suggested that he might have criticised the treaty, and even have objected strongly to certain of its provisions. Such an attitude would be in no way inconsistent with his speech of Saturday, in which he took the position that such objections as have been made "are trivial com-

pared with the Imperative need of peace." • • ' The Important thing, however, is that we now know where the secretary of state stands. Whatever his support is worth, the league of nations has it. It is wholehearted and without qualification. Mr. Lansing did not in terms deny the Bullitt statement, and entered into no argument over it, but was content to make clear his present attitude. —Indianapolis News (Rep.)
