USUALLY RIGHT
Senator Johnson's arraignment of the president on the score that he
has apparently reversed his stand regarding secret treaties by conceding the
secret treaty claims of Japan after opposing those presented by Italy, may bo
founded in a sufficient basis of fact as to warrant the claims of inconsistency
attaching to the Johnson charge. A merely cursory survey of the president’s
attitude regarding the two cases assuredly appears to verify the claim that the
president has been guilty of making fish of the one and flesh of the other by
opposing the Italian claim to Fiume and by later assenting without apparent
objection to the Japanese ren tent ion of the Shantung section <;f China; des
pite the fact that the Japanese claim to the former German concession is based
1 rimarily iq>on a treaty similiar to the treaty of London granting to the It
alians post war possession of Fiume and other sections of the Eastern coast
of the Adriatic. The presidential proceedure regarding the two claims is
clearly anomalous, to say the least concerning it.
The president’s avowed opposition to all forms of secret international
understandings, ns presented in the first of his fourteen peace principles, would
seem to warrant the inference that his attitude toward the Shantung question
would have at least been similiar to his attitude regarding the Fiume dispute.
Instead we find that he has ai*parentl> overlooked the secret treaty provisions!
regarding Shantung while sternly, and to the point of creating an open rupture
n the peace conference, opposing the Italian claims, to Fiume.
What reasons may lie behind the president’s seeming right-about
face have not been given out, hence we do not know whether they are of a
character to provide extenuation of what appears to he, us Senator Johnson
has charged, a complete reversal of the pre sidential attitude, which warrants
the claim that Wilson has been guilty of gross inconsistency in dealing with
the two questions.
it appears, however, that Wilson usually has a decidcly logical reason
for his actions, however inconsistent they may appear at first glance. The
charge of inconsistency is not a new one by any means but in practically every
instance when such charges have beeh leveled by his numerous and usually
overly captious critics the final resolution of things has demonstrated that
the president has known pretty well what he was about and ordered things in
i manner which left little ground for reasonable criticism.
We hold no delusions regarding the* president’s fallibility. No mere
man who ever drew the breath of life has done exactly the right thing in
every case. Especially in a situation such as the present, when the upheaved
forces of humanity are contending for vast and revolutionary changes in the
settlement ->f world affairs, it is hardly to be expected that the men on whose
hl-.oe.Uers rests the gigantic task of restoring a just and lasting equilibrium
should not make some errors in handling problems of such vast immensity as
those confronting the president and his peace conference associates.
i hroughout the entire period of his leadership, the prosider.; I ns dem
onstrated that his way of doing things is at least a pretty reasonable way j
and while he has made mistakes, they have hardly been of a character to
appear unduly flagrant to any but the hypercritical and chronically mal
content. in the end he has usually proved himself to have been more right
than wrong; hence we conclude that when the final resolutions of the peace
congress are sifted down it will be found that his actions regarding the Ad*
liatic and Far Eastern questions will at least have the merit of being war
i anted by logic and fact.
