SENATOR NEW’S FOOLISH POSITION

Even the Republican Indianapolis News can’t stand for Senator New’s damphool position on ratification of the peace treaty, as expressed 5n his speech published in Friday’s News, and takes editorial rap at this Indiana senator whose ■“youthful indiscretions” have recently come up to haunt him, in the person of Harry S. New,. Jr,, awaiting trial in California for murder, young New’s mother asserting that the Indiana senator is the boy’s father: In this speech yesterday Senator New declared against senate consent to the ratification of the treaty. Hte said that he would vote for all the reservations urged by the majority of the foreign relations comimiittee in the form .in ■which they were presented, including that to , Article 10, the effect of which is practically to eliminate that article. The senator said that he would also vote far all the amendments proposed, the effect «of which, if adopted, would be to make a new treaty. Even if there should be favorable action on all these, the senator would still be ’unsatisfied, for he said that “there would still remain much to which

I object and to which I have not been able to reconcile myself.’’ That being the case, he would, presumably, even after every amendment and reservation had been adopted, still feel bound by his conscience to vote against the treaty. At least the senator has convictions and is outspoken. That is something. We very much doubt whether the American people will view without apprehension; the possibilities involved at this late day in the defeat of the treaty, the dhance of breaking relations with our associates in the war, and the making of a separate peace with Germany. Clemenceau says effect that the leagul will be operative even without America, but his ardent hope is that this country will ratify the measure, Not to concur* in it, defective as it admittedly , is, involves a greater dilemma, with resultant confusion than to adopt it—saving our position with certain .reservations.
