NOW FOR RATIFICATION.
President Wilson met the virtual
■ challenge of the Senatorial opponents
of the peace treaty and the League of
Nations by the freest nnd fullest pre-
sentation of the conditions and con-
siderations which dictated the engage-
ments that are now awaiting ratifi-
cation by the Senate. For three and
a half hours the President answered
the questions propounded to him bv
m inborn of the Foreign Relations
Committee. With 1 atienco, painstak-
ing and the utmost frankness he res
ponded to their request for informn-
ti- n.
This conference was without prece-
dent in American history, but it amply
fulfilled the President's promise-
made months ago—that he would take
the Senate and the country into his
confidence in respect to the treaty and
the League. It was the fault, of the
Senate Committee that this complete
exposition and explanation of the
treaty and the covenant was not sooner
forthcoming. The President upon his
return from France expressed his will-
ingness—and nt the conference showed
his preparedness—to clarify and justi-
fy every act fo the Paris peace conn
oil
From the lips of the mnn who was
one of the authors of the treaty nnd
of the League—who knows every inch
of the ground between their inception
and then consummation—the Foreign
Relations Committee lins learned that
Article X of the covenant is subject
to our own judgment and to the author-
ity of Congress; that the Monroe Doc-
trine is beyond the purview of the
League; that questions of purely do-
mestic policy and government, like im-
migration and the tariff, are equally
outside its jurisdiction. If the Sena-
tors who have opposed the treaty nnd
the League continue their obstruction
it will not be for want of understand-
ing and reassurances. Their opposi-
tion henceforth will bo suspected as of
a different origin.
The President made ir quite plain to
the members of the Foreign Relations
Committee that, if they choose to re-
gard their country’s obligations light-
ly, they may adopt interpretations that
do not alter the text or impair the
force of the treaty. If such “inter-
pretations” in a separate resolution
will salve their pride without at the
• same time jeopardizing the advanta-
ges which the United States derives
from the treaty and the security which
all the world obtains through the
League , the Senators are free, so far
as the President is concerned, to take
that course.
Whatever the action of the recalci-
.trant Senntors may be the people’s at-
titude will be unmistakable. They
know the President has had a greater
opportunity and a better right to judge
of the ueed and meaning and value
of the treaty nnd of the League tlinn
the Senatorial critics of his work have
had. If neither is perfect the people
are not dissatisfied. They will not tol-
erate the Senate’s attempt to give them
less because they have not obtained
more. They want the treaty ratified
pnd the covenant accepted without
further delay.
-o-
There are three P’s in peace—pro-
duction, prosperity and progress. Rati-
fy the treaty!
