SENATOR NEW NOT IN LEAGUE

Both Indiana's senators have rut themselves on record as being against the Lrf-ajrue t Nations to A. AVickty, th Kast Chicago manufacturer. A cojiy ot btnatur Xcw'a answer to Mr. Wlcke s wire and tha last named's answer to the senator are & follows: Washington, D. C, July 23. 1919. Mr. Andrew "Wickey. Kast Chicago. Indiana. My dear AVickey: I htva your telogram reading "Am opposed to leagua. United States should be Independent nation." I agree most cordially with the eentlment of your telegram and I think you have told the atory In those brief words. I am very much opposed to this drift toward internationalism. So far as I am concerned I shall insist upon the co triplet maintenance of the independence and nationality of the United j tales. Your very sincerely, HARRY S. XEW. . i . . " East Chicago. Ind. July 26, 1919. Hon. Harry S. New, U. S. S.. "Washington. D. C. My Dear Sir: Am greatly pleased to receive your acknowledgement of the receipt of my telegram, noted contents with much Interest. Replying, the wonder why so large a percentage became possessed of the. as you say, drift of Internationalism, for I think, when viewing It from a matter f fact point of view it seems to me easy to see that our becoming of the league of foreign nations was not to be thought cf. but to see that the United States must be an independent nation, and, a governing one. It was right for our president to be with the body forming the league of nations, for him to know that our rights and interests that we had attained by the war were preserved, but I think, that if mention to him of our becoming of the league, he would have promptly expressed his surprise because of our only one vote against their six. and have said for us to consider it that we would have to have as many as their votes -combined and one over, and that even then we could not well conaider it with our present position, which we had fully earned by our great help in winning their war, as they know, that therefore, the United States, must be an independent nation, her being neutral, to make good the present position of the United States, that of her governing for peace and happiness of the owrld. I think, that had our president taken a position along these lines, his charge would have been easy, but with the position that he has been and is still attempting to hold, behold the predicament that the president 1? now in.

in a partial ratification on the part of one or more.

"Hut there is simply a statement ,of the Interpretations placed by the ratifying statement upon ambiguous clauses In the treaty, whether or not the statement is called a reservation, the case is really not one of amendment and acquiescence of the other parties to the treaty may readily be inferred unless express objection is made after notice has been received of the ratification with the interpretative statement forming part of it. "Statement to safeguard our interests, which clarify ambiguous clauses In the covenant by setting forth our interpretation of them and especially when the interpretation is one which is urged by the advocates of the covenant to induce support, can meet with no reasonable objection. It is not to be supposed that such interpretations will be opposed by other rarties to the treaty and they will end to avoid disputes in the future. Nor should we assume that a reservation would lead to the failure of the treaty or to compel a

resumption of the peace conference!

when the reservation leaves unimpaired the main provisions of the covenant looking to the peaceful settlement of disputes and the organizations of conferences and simply seeks to avoid any apparent assumption of an obligation on our part to join in a war at some definite time in the future for a cause the merits of which cannot now be foreseen, as It Is evident that In such a case we must inevitably await the future action of congress in accordance with what then be the demand of the conscience of the nation." The four reservations proposed by Hughes follow: "First That whenever two years notice of withdrawal from the league of nations shall have been given as pro-

arm

elusive authority to declare war or to i , determine for the United States whether
