RESPONSIBILITY
For
Defeat. Placed
--Belongs.
Where    It
s Tbe London, England, Saturday
Review places the responsibility for
the defeat of the Treatv of Peace
where it belongs. Tbis is, in part,
wha«t it bas to say on tbe subject:
"Tiie extent of tbe mischief wrought
by President Wilson at the Paris Conference is only gradually £eing realized by tbe nations, of wbicb tne last
to grasp it la the Bricisb public Mr.
Wilson is a political gambler; be
knew perfectly well that be was acting ultra vires, and defying the American Constitution in bis conduct of<
tbe peace negotiations. He knew tbat
be was bound by the Constitution to
secure not only "tbe consent" bu
"the adyice" of the Senate before be
signed a treaty, and be bad neitber.
He also knew tbat, not onlv was the
majority of tbe Seuate hostile, but
that tbe November elections of Congressmen bad gon** against bim. . He
therefore determined to tie up the] Enters
Peace Treaty and tbe League of Nations in tbe same parcel, just as a
clever company promoter merges a
bad in a good company. It was a bold
stroke, bnt it failed."
- These are  harsh   words,   but true.
Tbey are   what  we  have   repeatedly
said, though in milder language,

Mayor James Co ozena of Detroit
says. "I baye never been a teetotaler.
I bave voted wet. But if another

upset all tbe alarmist predictioas of

tbe rosiest   predictions of   tbe drys."
Is It Still True?
Perhaps" both Woodrow Wilson and
bis ardent followers bave forgotten
tbe following pungent words uttered
by the President in Washington, D.
C. on May <S 1914. To refresh their
memories we quote as follows:
"America should lead her own life.
We cannot foroo alliances with those
wbo are not going our way. We need
not, and we should not, 'form alliances with any nation in the world.
Those who are right, those wbo bold
