By EDWARD W. PICKARD. William H. Taft, actuated by the two worthy motives of trying to aid In the speedy stabilising of world peace and of averting possible disaster to his party In the next presidential elections made a notable contribution laat week toward the ratification of the peace treaty and League of Nations covenant by the senate. In letters to Republican National Chairman Hays he suggested a Way In which he thought this might bo brought about with the votes of those Republican senators who an friendly to the league but an doubtful ' eoncefnirtg certain of Its articles. Mr. Tafts plan la that the treaty be ratified with Interpretive reservations" that would satisfy the consciences oi those senators and that would be acceptable to the administration. These, not being amendments or flat reservations, would not necessitate the recommittal of the pact to a peace conference. Making it clear that he favors ratification of the treaty as It stands, to be smended Inter by the league If necessary, Mr. Taft declares It to be the part of statesmen to recognise the exigencies, personal, partisan and political, of a situation In seeking to achieve real progress and reform." He admits fiat there are reasonable and sincere criticisms made against the longue and believes these must be satisfied In order to obtain tlie nineteen Republican votes necessary to ratification. This he seeks to do with his suggested reservations, which cover most of the crltldocd but Ignore tins Shantung feature. This latter, he asserts, has been deliberately exaggerated. Mr. Ilays looked with favor on Mr. Tafts plan, and In Washington many Republican senators wen said to be so impressed with Its valne that they already wen at work on a program of Interpretive reservations. President Wilson had been awara of the Taft suggestions for several days, but his attitude toward them was not stated. The administration senators, however, wen said to be still determined to attempt to force unreserved ratification. s Mr. Wilson, though suffering from a alight attack of illness, kept up his work In behalf of the treaty, calling Into conference at the White House a number of the opposing senators. Most of these asserted tlmt the president had not been able to change their views or intentions by his arguments and explanations, and the debate In the senate did not Indicate that he had converted any of them. It la only fair to assume that few of these senators an governed by anything but patriotism and honesty In taking ths attitude they do, but It la hard to see anything but partisanship In such action ns that of the majority of the committee on foreign relations the other day. The president In the Interest of business, asked for authority to appoint provisionally an American member of the Interallied commission on reparations pending action on the treaty. This the committee refused, adopting Instead Senator Knoxs resolution declaring: That It Is the Judgment of the committee that until the treaty la ratified no power exists, either In the president or congress, to execute any provision of the proposed treaty, either or otherwise. And yet, only three weeks ago Sen ator Knox declared that the treaty ot pence will apply to the United States hen ratified by three other powers, right-angle- high-walle- d, ae-a- te tlttl-lati- I : |
