Show rinii'KTi Ar, assimmtv. On every hand there is an insistent insis-tent demand that the treaty and the league of nations ha disposed of in Washington. Everywhere you turn you hear some caantic remark concerning the perpetual assininity of our governmental govern-mental and senatorial representatives representa-tives in the national capitol. The patience of the American people peo-ple is exhausted. Tfiey are time weary of being held up to the ridi-' ridi-' . of the civilized world by a lit tle bunch of politicians whose chief aim in ofHcial life appears to be that making faces at each other. . Our men in the trenches took the bit in their teeth and covered themselves them-selves with glory. Our representatives in Washington are mired in a sea of inaction and buck passing and are ' humiliating the nation which permits them to misrepresent it. It is time for a final ruling on the peace treaty and the league of nations na-tions to be made. There is no reason under me sun why peace should not be concluded with the Teutonic nations. No reasonable person can object to an endorsement of the league of nations with reservations which protect pro-tect the legitimate interests of the United States. There is every reason in the world why the senate should come out of its trance and take the definite action ioc which we have been waiting these many mouths. All intelligent people know thai Europe today is again a seething volcano, and that only prompt and definite action by the United States can stabalize the situation. All Europe knows that the crass stupidity at Washington is the greatest great-est air to Bolshevism this country has ever seen. Either the white house and the senate are mentally capable of effecting effect-ing a reasonable compromise on the league of nations which would he acceptable to the people, or they are not. It they have the brains necessary for the performance of this duty, they should take final action at once. If they are mentally incapable of discharging their obligations to the people, they should resign and go home. There is not a man in Washington l..iblic life of either party who can not be replaced by another man just j as ,-;ood. and the sooner they give this fact permanent lodgment under .their hats the better it will be for themselves and for the country as a whole. We can put up with a reasonable j amount of bluffing, fourflushing and j braying in Washington, but perpet-1 ual assininity has quite lost its charm j Got busy, or got out! j |
