on Peace Treaty
Continued from foro One
cnl gain would come from the passage
of n resolution declaring tho war ended
they would drop tho project.
Indeed there Is n fair nriisnect of its
failing In any case, through inability of
Hip Republicans to agree upon the
wording of the declaration. Nothing is
likely to be done in any event for two
or threo weeks.
Mr. Lodge is going nwaj The Re
publicans want to hear from the coun
try on the project before taking steps.
A resolution which lessens the prospects
of our country's subsequently entering
the League of Nations is politically
dangerous, nnd would not be ngrced by
the mild reservationlsts. And n reso
lution that does any less than this would
not be ncccptnble to the bitter-enders.
Tlie difficulty of ngreeing upon n reso
lution and the case with which Presi
dent Wilson can demonstrate its inef
fectiveness in restoring n legal state of
peace with Germany arc likely to kill
the projpet.
Politically the Republicans have Hie
best of tho situation ns it stands. So
far ns subsequent moves are concerned
Hip ndvnntngp is with Hip President.
Thp Republicans probably can't agree
ou nnj policy. And if they could it
would be of no practical utility.
Wilson Opposes Separate Peace
With regard to making a separate
pence with Germany. President Wil
son's position is supposed to be this:
To negotiate n treaty that would be
agreeable to the Senntp would be to
desert the nllies of the United States iu
tho late war. It would encourage Ger
many In its resistance to the pence ne
gotiation nt Paris. It would hnvc n
tendency thus to divide Europe Into
hostile camps. In other words, such a
policy instead of promoting peace would
promote hostilities and add to Hie pros
pe:ts nf war in Europe.
To this reasoning there seems to he
no possible answer. Germany is already
resisting the pence. TJic real purpose
of tho revolution in Germany hns been
to overthrow the government which
signed the peace and seemed to bo ready
to execute it. In this nttitude Germany
lias been encouraged by our failure
to ratify the peace.
She would be considei abl.v strength
ened in her resistnnco to the peace 1C
wo should not only fall to ratify this
treaty but substitute another ono for
it. It would be a formal notlcu to
Germany that we had dissociated our
selves permanently from the nllies, so
far ns enforcing the pence was con
cerned. To negotiate a peace with Germany
cxnctiy like the present treaty ex
cept with the League of Nations pro
visions left out would be, even if the
Senate would accept it, an illogical and
senseless thing. The present trcatv,
Mr. Wilson's friends point, out, was
built around the Leagup of Nations.
For its enforcement it depends upon the
League of Nations.
Icaguo Protects Small Nations
The small nations created by the
treaty could not exist without the pro
tection of Hie League of Nations. Tho
boundary Hues set up by the treaty
would not last a decade without inter
national organization. s
Bo, to negotiate n pence cxnctiy lftco
tlio present one, Mr. WiImiu'h friends
say, would bo to make a peace without
any power of enforcing it The, T'nitcd
States would hao the responsibility of
participating in creating n lot of new
nations without giving them any ns
suranco of continued existence. It would
havo deposited a lot of International
foundlings in the lap of Europo nnd
then gono home accepting no further
responsibility for their fan'
