President Alone Prevents U. S.
,'From Upholding Honor Among
L Nations, Ho Charges
REPUDIATES OWN PARTY
rYi Editorial tepiintcii from todays
"The protest obstruction to nn rrtcc
tire league of Nations nt present Is
u'nndrow Wilson. A Long-tic of Nations
SSoibf fftctl unless the United
stilts Joins ns a member. The United
si tea cannot join the League of
Villon un'tss two'thlrd of the Senate
the United States shall ratify the,
twitr bv nhlch it becomes n member.
Mr Wilson knows, or should know,
thit neith" In the present Senate nor
la the new Senate, which will Rather on
he fourth of March next, con two-
hirds of the membership bo Induced to
rote for the League of -Nations without
the Lodne reservations. The Senate's
IttWcitlon under the constitution Is as
itctmiy to make a trenty ns the
rwldent's Initiation and approval.
Mr Wilson's letter, written in mi
,itt to an inquiry by the chairman of
the Multnomah County Democratic ccn
trtl committee of Oregon, completely
destroys any hope that he will consent
to the Lodge reservations, and proves
ronclunlvely that he will continue to the
end of his term Insisting on ratification
cf the treaty without any change. It is
mthorltatlvely stated that lie intends to
Ttto the Joint resolution declaring peace
irfth Germany and to resubmit the
tr'eity for action bv the- Sennte. He,
therefore, will put himself in the posi
tion of maintaining a stato 0 war until
the end of his term. He demands that
lit Democratic convention nt San Fran
tlieo ibtll make the issue in this cam
p!n "tho league without reservations
or no treaty at all."
.The President's letter is n message
lu'linguafte which would inspire, if it
ltd any foundation of fact to sustain
the glowing sentences. Were he to ac
cept tho Lodge reservations, he wou,ld
become n member of the League of Na
tions in which nil the other notions but
the United States would be bound ,to
one another bv the four irroiit npnrfl-
giving provisions of the league, to wit:
tl) The limitation of armament, (2)
The mutiial guaranty of Article X. CI)
Tho enforcement of submission to judi
cial settlement of. disputes by unlvcrsnl
boycott, and (4) Open diplomacy. Tho
reservations would relieve the United
States from tho guaranty of Article ?C,
but from none of the other obligations.
Forty Democratic senators ugrccdUo
either of two forms of reservations .as
to Article X, releasing tho affirmative
obligation of the United States under
Article X nnd leaving tho whole mat
ter under the article to the dlscretlon'of
Congress. The same forty senators
agreed to the Lodge reservations to the
Monroe Doctrine, except that they
wished to say the same thing only twice
Instead of saying it three times as the
Republicans had said it. Mr. Wilson
repudiates the action of all the Demo
cratic senators 'as well ns that of the
Republicans. Mr. Wilson's words, In
terpreted in the light of tho facts, show
that unless he can secure tho agree
ment of the Senate to Artlclo X, of
which he is the author, without any
nunliflrntion of it, he is willing to de
stroy tho whole league.
The real friends of tho league who
have no political bias or personal pride
of authorship are anxious that the
league with the Lodge reservations, shall
be ratified as tho only way in which
ratification can come. They believe that
it is most valuable for the world even
without Article X, nnd the other na
tions agree with them. They bellcyc
that with the power of nmendment pro
vided in it, its defects, ns experience
shall show them, can be remedied.
Mr. Wilson's objection Is that the
United States must be bound, to use
military force, to maintain the terri
torial integrity nnd political independ
ence of all the members of the league
I The other members of tho league, who
I would naturally be interested in pre
serving the United States' obligation
under Article X, are willing to relenio it

Mr. Wilson says that ho will not permit

himself the chief agent in preventing the
