WHAT IS BEHIND IT?
Tho charge of the minority members <if the Senate ign Delations
i’••minittt i- that the numerous amendments t-> the {pence treaty tecoin
mended in the majority report were animated by a desire on the part of the
i i.ijority to destroy the League • >f Nations ma\ ii >t b«- justified by the facts
but indications are not wanting that the fight against League acceptance is’
based .at some deeper seated motive than the desire to "save the country"
s» loudly and frequently reiterated by those behind Die opposition movement.
Tiie very virulence of Die attacks made by the treaty opposers suggests
that there is something more behind Diem than a desire to . orrect Die evil
possibilities which it is claimed the la-ague convention contains. More than
half Do attacks made in the senate hy the opposing republii-ans ire marked
b." the most fervid bitterness possible to compress into spoken word; as if
there was something of personal Injury Involved in tin- covenant i*tiiih which
Justified more than academic resentment.
I'erusul of upward <>f a dozen addresses made l#> the leaders of the
opposition discloses an almost rabid fierceness m the utterances of a majority
"1 those who have spoken against the covenant since copies of the treaty
reached Americu. Denunciation and ringing condemnation follow each
other in quick succession throughout most ..f the addresses made against the
treaty and, in several instances noted, the depths of angry invective were
rounded to find words t*> express the bitterness and resentment impelling Do
flow of fiery oratory.
.Judging l.y the tone <.f u major portion of the spe . !.. tin- main object
i> nut to collect the alleged evils of till* covenant put to disi n-dit and destroy
the convention—entirely. in many instances the vociferous preservers of the
nation approach the task in a way suggesting an attack on a venomous reptile
whose very presence tends to fear and rage.
It is possibly true that the League covenant contains all of the dan
gers which its opposers claim. Concealed behind its seemingly indefinite
I lovisions may lurk situations which threaten the very fabric of the American
petion. There may he that in its terms which would cause the American
people to reject it with loathing and dread if they but realized Its full portent.
Hut admitting that it may contain possibilities of the most disastrous character.
It is indeed passing strange that exceedingly few outside of the republicans'
are able to see and realize its true portent.
After ins|»ecting the line-up against the tieaty and noting that four
fifths of its opposers are republicans, one can hardly he blamed for becoming
so bewildered by such peculiar circumstances that they question how it is
that nearly all of the wisdom and discernment and foresight regarding the true
tenor of the treaty happen to he confined almost entirely to tin- republican
side of the house.
Another feature of the opposition which may not lip without signific
ance is that practically all of the senators who are fighting so bitterly to
prevent the country being enmeshed in the web of destruction are the high
apostles and chief spokcjfrnen of the socalled plutocracy in the Senate—,
tho very mouthpieces of the vested interests which are the side profilers by
international war and discord.
Can it he that there is some connection between war profits and the
seeming fight to prevent the league of Nations becoming the instrument for
peace for which it was designed—at least as far as America is concerned ? Is
capitalistic rapacity and greed in any way involved in the fight, which
Senator Hitchcock, who is no man’s fool, ns well as others who are not
representative of the interests which profit by wrld discord and strife, say
is aimed at destroying the League 7
If the covenant is so pregnant of evil for America and American inter
ests. why do not the opposing senators endeavor to explain by means of
something more than vague illusions to 'Its allegedly dreadful possibilities.
Why, Instead of filling the air with windy and unsubstantiated denunciations,
do they not demonstrate by the processes of logic where its faults lie and
suggest remedies therefor, instead of damning it to perdition without at
tempt to correct its deficiencies or even explain their character?
If the treaty menaces America, it menaces the world and if the
Republicans are the only one who can appreciate the menace and explain its
true portent it is plainly their duty to the nation and humanity to show
just what it Is and how it may be remedied. Their superlative wisdom
should enable them to do something more than merely paw the air and yell
“Its nil wrong,” without one word of lucid explanation of why It Is wrong and
what may he done to make It right. .Surely If they possess tho fine dis
cernment to spy out the evils they can also define how they may be corrected
It is noticable, however, that practically up to the present time, not
one of the opposing senators has undertaken to make logical explanations
regarding the treaty or suggest how it may be changed so that its alleged faults
will he corrected.
AH of which suggests that there may he more than a grain of truth In
the allegation of the League supporters on the- Foreign Relations « immittee
that the majority, mainly composed of republicans, tire seeking to vrecl
the League.
