COX AND THE TREATY.
SJCSJlCUSvttmtarlhelXi
ork Times and published in that
aiewspaper on May 23rd Governor
Uames 31 Cox of Ohio Democratic
ftpresidential nominee set forth clear-j with an instrument worth while and
fly and concisely his vciws as to ihejnot a mre shadow.
iLeague of Nations with suggested in-
terpretative paragraphs which in his
opinion would more .accurately define
the riews of the United States as to
fats foreign obligations and which in
tthe opinion of Governor Cox should
fcbe sufficient io .satisfy even -the most
;hitter opponents of Article Ten and
ether bugaboos in the covenant of the
League of Nations.
IVhile somewhat long The Bulletin
j. ibelleves. that the article will be read
l 'with interest by all jts readers and
reproduces it herewith as clipped from
the editorial page of the Fort Worth
Star-Telegram:
International affairs touch the in-
terest of practically every community
now and until the world-wide con-
fusion is brought to an end the League
of Nations Trilli be an issue in the
political affairs jof this country- j
Not long ago I was in the remote
southwest parti of Kentucky where
svhat is known as the black barley to-
bacco is grown Most of it is sold in
iltaly - In the local market at May-
eld. Ky. it was. bringing about one-
lhixd.of ihe price that obtained a year
vago. There can be little doubt that
lhe oeplorable state of foreign ex-
change is the cause of the decline. It
is perfectly fair to assume that If the
treaty signed by the powers of Eu-
wqpe had been ratified by the United
sStatfis Senate the fire or ix leading
tnations in world trade who form the
main structure of the League could
have stabilized foreign exchange.
51 mention this unhappy experience
of Kentucky tobacco growers in order
tto emphasize the point that the most
remote community is affected by con-
ditions that ought to be changed. If
public opinion in the country is the
same as it is in Ohio then there can
the mo doubt that the people want a
League of KaOons because it seems to
(offer (the surest guarantee aganst "war.
II am convinced that the San Francis-
co -convention will indorse in its vital
(principles the League adopted at Yer-
jsailles. There can he jxo doubt tii3t some
Senators have been conscientious- in
ithoir desire to clarify the provisions
ot the treaty. 'Two things apparently'
lhave disturbed jthem: First th?y want-
ted lo .make sure bat the League was
not to be an 'Vlliancc" and that its
basic purpose was peace and not con-
itroversy. Second they wanted the
mother powers signing the instrument j
ito understand pur constitutional limi-j
ttations beyond which the treaty-mak-1
ing power cannot go. j
Dealing with these questions in or- j
der it has always seemed to me that
itbe interpretation of the function of
itbe League might have been stated
Jin. these xvords:
"Uh giving Us assent to tills treaty
itflao (Senate has in mind the fact that
itlbe League of Xations which it embq-
' dSe was devised for the sole purpose
of tnaintaining peace and comity
tamong the nations of the .earth and
preventing the recurrence of such de-
structive conflicts as that through
.which the world has just passed. The
icooperation'of the United States with
othe League and its continua ice as a
member thereof will .naturally depend
iupon the adherence of the League to
(that fundamental purpose."
Such a declaration would at least
-express the view of the United States
and justify the course which our na-
.'Won would unquestionably follow if
gue Jasic purpose of the League was
'at any time distorted. It would also
appear to be u simple matter to pro-
tvide against any misunderstanding in
ab!e future and at the same time to
meet the objections of those ivho be-
llieve that we Jmight beJnviting a con-
troversy over .our constitutIonl rights
Iby making a Senatorial addition in
words something like these:
"It will of course be understood
ihat in carrying out the purpose of the
iLeague the Government of the United
fStates must at all times .act in strict
iiannony with the terms and n tent of
jhe United States Constitution Tvhich
cannot in any way be altered by thc
treaty-making power."
Some jpeople doubt the1 enduring
qualify of this .general international
scheme. ''XVhether this be fruakor not
the fact 'remains that it wilt justify
itself if it does no more than prevent
the nations of the earth from arming
themselves to the teeth and wasting
resource (which is necessary to repair
the losses? of the war.
No one contends that it is a perfect
document but it is a step in the right
direction It would put the loose ends
of civilization together now and do
more toward the restoration of normal
conditions in six months' time than
can the powers of the earth acting
independents in ten years time.
The Republican Senatorial cabal in-
sists that the treaty be Americanized.
Suppose 'that Italy -asked that it be
Italianized France that it be Franch-
ized Britain that it -be Britainized
and so on down the line. The whole
thing would result in a perfect trav
esty.
The important thing now is to en-
able the world to go to work but the
beginning must not be on the soft
sands of an unsound plan If this
question passes to the next adminis-
tration there should be no fetich de-
veloped over past differences. Yet at
the same time there must be no sur-
render of vital principle. It. may be
necessary if partitions and reparation
require changing to assemble repre-
peTple ma!iiug
up
the uatiqns- of the League in which
event revision may not be so much an j
affair of diplomats. But I repeat the
i pressing task is getting started being
i careful however that we are starting
oatner together the elements that
are opposed to the treaty- and you
will find that they are made up first
of conspiring Republican politicians
whose iqst for partisan victory has
apparently rendered them insensible
to public duty; second certain groups
who have been deceived and to whom
ippeal has been made on racial pleas
and third interests which see in the
League an absolute bar to German ab-
solutism. The election in Switzerland
shows 'hat the opposition to the
League in that country in the main
was in tjie 'German cantons.
We ar old-fashioned enough to be-
lieve thai it is a waste of good time
l
and energy to argue so much about
2.75 beer j while the sale of patent med-
icines containing as high jas G5 per
cent alcphol ts being carried on In i
every to.wn in the United States. The
purposeof the prohibition j law is to
keep people sober; and for our part
we enjoy1 " seeing a man "drunk on wine
beer or Straight -whiskey just as much;
as seeing one drunk on hair tonic or
