AMERICA AND THE WORLD

The most disheartentaig feature of the present situation is not so imruch the attitude of the senate toward the peace treaty as its uter inability to see that there is ■any obligaion resting on this country to co-operate with other nations in the work of reorganizing and stabilizing the world. Be? fore the signing of the armistice ■there were few men who did not feel this obligation, and take pride in the fact that a great opportunity for service was offered to this nation. A nobly altruistic spirit was reflected in practically everything that was written or spoken in those days. We liked to think that we had gone into the war as crusaders, and we saw in the war a struggle for a new and better world, dedicated to freedom, and safeguarded against wars of aggression. Halving hehped to save the world, the general feeling was that we should do everything in our power to keep it safe, and to up-j hold those ideals that had tri-1 umphed. This was the feeling even of Senator Lodge, as is proved by a speech which he delivered in the senate. In the months that have gone by a great change has come, and it is a change for the worse. No sooner was the armistice signed than men began to demand that we should get out of the war, though the war was not over. It was difficult to hold enough troops in Europe to conduct the various jilebescites that had been ordered. We demanded a free and independent Armenia, yet were unwilling

to afford it even temporary protection. We even criticised Great Britain for withdrawing her troops, though they had been fighting for more than four years. This burden, and all other of a like character, should, we insisted, be borne by the war-worn nations of Europe. From the very beginning of the consideration of the treaty, the senate has been trying to find out, not how much this country could do consistently with loyalty to the constitution, but how little it would permit to be done. * It Ihas been interested, as far as it has been interested at all, not in .the maximum but the minimum/ of service. Its point of view has been narrow, parochial and selfish. From the start all the /presumptions have been against the treaty. This has gone so far that it is even proposed to withdraw from the president at least one power that has for more than a century been wielded by the executive without question—namely, to use the military and naval forces as they were used in China, against the Barbary pirates, and often in Central America, without the consent Of congress.

This, of course, is a very sad fall. The need for our help and co-operation is as great as it was u year ago. Our duty now is as riear as it was then. Everything that has happened has served to make it clearer. The great and noble vision—which was a true vision—has been dimmed and obscured. We are crusading today, not in behalf of stricken and helpless humanity, but for the presidency. The head of a hateful partisanship is beginning to rear itself, and our leaders are thinking, not of the starving Armenians, Viennese and Poles, not of the perilously unstable political and social conditions in Europe, but of delegates. Yet we do not believethat the people have forgotten, much less that they are unwilling to do their full part, and to do it bravely and self-sacrificingly. They know that a league of 'nations can be created that will bw a mighty power for good, and that we can enter it without giving up our independence and national' sovereignty. And that is what they want. President Hayes once said: “He serves his party best who serves his country best.” Today he serves his country best who serves the world best. That at any rate was the feeling of the 1 American people when the advance ,of Pershing’s great army was I stopped by the armistice within a I stone’s throw of Sedan. —-Indianap- ' olis News (Rep.)

LODGE —WITH RESERVATIONS

Senator Lodge’s “program” is re-

THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

oelved by Republican senators with “reservations.” The “irreconcilables” are willing enough to accept all that Mr. Lodge proposes In the way of ratifying the treay; of peace, always provided that this procedure is certain to nullify it. They want a kind of ratification that will mean repudiation. The "mild reservationists” pretend to seek ratification with qualifications less destructive than those Mr. Lodge has concocted and less objectionable than those demanded by the “irreconcilables.” If Mr. Lodge seems to make concessions to the “irreconcilables” he alienates the “mild” —but firm—reservationists in the senate majority. If he yields to the latter, the outright obstructionists threaten revolt and defection. Both these groups make their demands in the name of Republicanism—and Mr. Lodge surrenders first to one and then to the, other in the same sacred name. It is a fine little game for Mr. Lodge. With neither the doubtful friends nor the known foes of the treaty willing to let him proceed to compromise and consummation, the putative leader of the Republican senate can move in neither direction and must Stand still —which is exactly what Mr. Lodge desires. Hie is quite ready to make chessmen of “mild” reservationists and “wild” reservationists and downright defeatists, and then play them to the conclusion he wishes most of all to see—a stalemate that leaves the treaty lifeless. Senator Moses of New Hampshire and Senator McCormick of Illinois have declined to serve as members of the committee of 171 to write the Republican alibi for the next campaign. As men who have helped to /make the record of the present Republican congress they appreciate how difficult it will be to escape responsibility for it.

Senator Borah has lived in the west long enough to know that most of the destructive political tornadoes come from that quarter. He sees the black clouds gathering and is trying to shoo his colleagues into cyclone cellars. Senator Hays is again attempting to make the plurality of Republicans in congress look and act like a majority, bnt even he can’t fine a common denominator for this b-anch of incompatible fractions. It is to ba observed that the Lodge plan for “Americanizing” the treaty is more or less satisfactory to all the elements which sympathized with Germany before and during the war. Among the 171 framers of the next platform Mr. Hays doubtless has included not only the /principal scribes, but also a fair representation of the Pharisees of the G. O. p. The Republican party might have survived a special session of congress, but the people will hardly forgive a repetition of the same dis।ma I failure in the regular session. There is more joy among the Republican partisans for one minor mistake in conducting the war than for all the glorious achievements that led to victory. It is now more than two months since the regular session of the Republican congress began substituting conversation for legislation. Those who think the United States can. live unto itself will do well to study the effect, of a de-* dining foreign exchange. An admiral who attacks the honor *bf his on® country’s navy is certain to be a hero in the Republican congress. Any “knock” against the army or navy is sure to open the Republican door in welcome to the “knocker.”' It is becoming clear that the navy won the war on the sea in spite ©f one of its admirals.
