The Peace Conference
Following is a clipping from
the Minneapolis Morning Tribune of April 23, 1919. The article was written by a reader of
that paper and was published
therein. It is a good live article
and we suggest it should be cut
out and hied away as a memorandum.
The article follows:
To the Editor of the Tribune:
Although the Peace conference, so called, is "three thousand miles away" and all cable
messages must pass through the
iron grip of a dictator, yet
enough of real truth sifts
through from the numerous secret conference to Convince anyone who cares to know to real
facts that a prolific crop of national and international animosities is taking form, and
that instead of a lasting peace
and amicable understandings,
there is being engendered international hatreds that cannot be
overcome but by the passing of
this, generation.
One is constrained to repeat
the words of the Prophet Jeremiah, "We looked for peace and
there is no good; and for a time
of healing, and behold trouble."
The Tyrant Nero is charged
with having "fiddled while
Romevburned,'* but be it said to
his credit that he "fiddled" for
only a few hours at most, and
that the conflagration for which
he fiddled was confined to one
city only.
This threadbare story becomes
tame iu comparison to the
drama now' being enacted,
wherein a whole world is being
consumed by anarchy, while an
orchestra fiddles for months upon an instrument repudiated
and    condemned    by     George
night, -at Little Falls, by the
Dougherty    stock   company, j Washington and all of thefound

Will Not Accept Revised
League Covenant
WORSE THAN OLD. PACT I
Foreign   Relations   Committee   Chair*!
man  Says  Present  Draft  Is Dangerous to Peace of World and
American  Rights.
i

_-_—___ t
i
Washington, May 21.—In a state, j
ment Senator Lodge, Republican lead-!
er and chairman of the foreign rela-j
tions committee, asserted that the re-!
vised league of nations "is unaccept-i
able," and predicted it would not bej
adopted by a majority of the senate!
without amendment.
Characterizing the new league cov-1
enant, as included in the peace treaty,
"as distinctly worse than the old, and
more dangerous to the peace of the
world and to American rights and interests," Senator Lodge declared that
none of the suggestions from he Senate or from Elihu Root had been carried out.
Senator Lodge's statement follows:
"So far as I can judge—and I have
had conversations with many Senators, including members of both parties—I am satisfied that a majority
of the Senate feel very strongly that
the league as now presented must receive amendment, that in its present
form, without any change, it is unacceptable and would not be accepted.
"To say that the amendments put
forward in the Senate and those proposed and formulated by Mr. Root on
the suggestion of the State department
have been met, is without foundation.
Not one of the suggestions of the Senate, not one of the amendments proposed by Mr. Root, has been carried
out. Some have been entirely rejected, and where there is an appearance
of their having been adopted, examination shows that the new form is
distinctly worse than the old, and
more dangerous to the peace of the
world and to American rights and
interests.
No Desire to Delay Treaty.
"It is impossible now to enter upon
a detailed analysis because, although
we may suppose that the draft of th_3
league sent over in the press dispatches is fairly accurate, we have.no
knowledge of the treaty with Germany
or of its relations to the league.
"There is no desire anywhere to delay the treaty of peace- with Germany
one moment beyond the time necessary to understand it, but we must
have it before us in the official form.
As to the league of nations, the American people must know just what they
are to be asked to agree to. By that
league they are invited to take the
gravest step ever taken by the United
States, and no organized clamor, no
manufactured pressure of any kind
will swerve the Senate from its high
duty of laying before the American
people exactly what the league involves and what it means to the United
States, and to the future peace of
the world."
