Show OUR NARROW STATESMEN. A strong hint is thrown out by a number of United States senators that the treaty between the United States and France, assuring France of the aid of this country, if Germany attempts aggrandizement, will be opposed. This is another blundering announcement from the senate. If France cannot be guaranteed an enduring peace, free from the menace of Germany, then the war has been an empty triumph of the allies. This country is morally bound to prevent the undoing of the work of the soldiers of this nation who sacrificed so much in driving the German hordes out of France, and it comes as a shock to know that there are United States senators so devoted to the petty and small things of life as to turn from their high duty in order to play at the game of politics. Our senators are like Nero who fiddled while Rome burned. They are trifling with human destiny. They not only are fiddling, but adding add-ing fuel to the conflagration which honorable men, faithful servants of the masses, are laboring to subdue. |
