LODGE AND THE TREATY
“Nations must unite as men unite
in order to preserve peace and order.
The great nations must be so united
as to be able to say to any single
country, ‘You must not go to war,’
and they can say that effectively
when the country desiring war knows
that the force which the united na
tions place behind peace is irresisti
ble.
“We have done something in ad
vancing the settlement by arbitration
of many minor questions which in
former times led to war and reprisals,
although the points of difference were
essentially insignificant; but as hu
man nature is at present constituted
and the world is at present managed,
there are certain questions which no
nation would submit voluntarily to
the arbitration of any tribunal, and
the attempt to bring such questions
within the jurisdiction of an arbitral
tribunal not only fails in its purpose
but discredits arbitration and the
treaties by which the impossible is
attempted.
“In differences between individuals
the decision of the court is final, be
cause in the last resort the entire
force of the community is behind the
court decision. In the differences be
tween nations which go beyond the
limited range of arbitrable questions,
peace can only be maintained by put
ting behind it the force of united
nations determined to uphold and
prevent war. * * *
“It might be easily said that this
idea, which is not a new one, is im
practicable; but it is better than the
idea that war can be stopped by lan
guage. by speech-making, by vain
agreements which no one would carry |
out when the stress came, by denun
ciations of peace, in which all men j
agree, for these methods are not only
impracticable but impossible and bar-'
ren of all hope of real result. It may i
seem Utopian at this moment to sug
gest a union of civilized nations in I
order to put a controlling force be
hind the maintenance of peace and
international order, but it is through
the aspirations for perfection, through
the search for Utopias, that the real j
advances have been made. At all
events it is along this path that we
must travel if we are to attain in
any measure to the end we all desire
of peace upon earth.”
The author of these inspiring senti
ments, says the New York World, is
not Woodrow Wilson, President of the
United States, but Henry Cabot
Lodge, senator in the congress of the
United States from Massachusetts
and leader of the Republican major
ity. The address in which these sen
timents were expressed was delivered
at Union College in June, 1915, nearly
a year after the great war had begun
and four years before the covenant
of the League of Nations became the
great diplomatic achievement of the
peace conference.
In the senate Mr. Lodge assailed
the covenant of the League of Nations
because it had undertaken to do the
very things that he demanded that it
should do when he delivered the ad
dress at Union College. The “path
that we must travel” in 1915 is now
the road of “visionaries,” and while
it may be proper enough that other
nations should restrict their freedom
of action in order to avoid war, the
United States must yield nothing to
help guarantee the peace of the
world. President Wilson and Lloyd
George and Balfour and Lord
Milner and Robert Cecil and Clemen
ceau and Pichon and Tardieu and the
representatives of a score of other
nations are dreamers and rhetori
cians, and the practical statesman
ship of the world is at present re
stricted to a little group of obstruc- i
tionist senators engaged in playing
1920 campaign politics.
This is the speech that President
Wilson has twice referred to in his
recent addresses.
THE PRINCE'S ENTOURAGE
Several members of the official
party accompanying the prince of
Wales on his journey to the United
States and Canada are already well
known to many Americans.
It is remembered in London that
the pleasure of the royal visitor and
that of his hosts was somewhat
marred when, in 1860, the late King
Edward VII, then prince of* Wales,
toured the North American continent
because the accompanying entourage
was composed of elderly men—men
too seriously mindful of the respon
sibility with which they had been
saddled. This criticism was taken
into consideration in naming the
members of the party of the prince
now in America.
Lord Claude Hamilton is a fellow
officer of the prince of Wales in the
Grenadier Guards. He joined the
army in 1911, serving throughout the
war, and was awarded the distin
guished service order for conspicuous
gallantry at the front.
Captain the Honorable Piers Legh
is one of the prince’s eqvherries, a
fellow-officer in the Guards, a former
aide to the duke of Connaught and a
younger son of Lord Newton. The
captain is said to be endowed with
much of the wit and appreciation of
humor for which his father is dis
tinguished.
Sir Godfrey Thomas is a personal
friend and regimental comrade of the
prince. His mother was a daughter
of Charles Oppenheirs, the London
banker.
BRITISH LAND LAWS
The land of England is changing
ownership under the operations of
the land settlement bill. Large tracts
are being acquired by county coun
cils, which are selling them in small
holdings to persons who make annual
payments for them.
Until the enactment of the measure
England was the only country in
Europe which denied to the smaller
cultivators of the land sufficient facil
ities to enable them to purchase their
holdings. In Germany 86 per cent
of the cultivated land wras ow'ned by
the men who worked it, while only 12
per cent of the small agriculturalists
of England owned their own farms.
Before the war the government en
ergetically opposed the policy of oc
cupying ownerships for Englishmen,
Welshmen and Scotchmen, but helped
Irishmen to own the ground they till.
Thus far 410,000 holdings, containing ;
13.500.000 acres, have been sold to j
Irish farmers, leaving only about i
50.000 holdings to be sold. But the
English farmer is just as anxious as
any to own his own farm, and under
the new' law he will soon do it.
««• v«-:
A spool of thread now costs 15
cents in England, owing to profiteer
ing. The price is said to be higher j
than during the “cotton famine of the
60’s.”
Consuls representing the United !
States. Great Britain and France in !
Mexico have received instructions !
from their governments to complete
ns soon as possible a list of all*of
their respective nationals in the re
public, together with the business in
which they are engaged and the ex-'
tent of these enterprises.
In a recently published interview
at Anchorage Judge Wickersham
“explained his position in the Secre
tary Lane controversy and promised
his unqualified support to furthering
all interests peculiar to Alaska.” How j
much more timely this “unqualified |
support” would have been if it had i
been in evidence last spring, when |
the railroad appropriation was being
slashed, after Wickersham’s violent
attack on the railroad and its con
structors!
