THE HUGHES PLAN
That the plan outlined by Charles
Evans Hughes for the ratification of
the treaty with reservations will Ip
followed in the senate seems likely.
The plan, as we understand it, is
simply this: The senate will adopt
the reservations by a majority vote.
The reservations will be incorporated
in the ratifying resolution and then
the question of ratification will be put
to the senate. The advocates of the
league will thus be called upon to
vote ratification with reservations. If
they vote against the ratification res
olution upon them will rest the res
ponsibility for rejecting the treaty, if,
as Mr. Hughes says, the reservations
are reasonable. If the senate, by the
required two-thirds vote, ratifies the
treaty the President must give his
assent before the ratification is com
plete. If he refuses assent the
responsibility for the treaty’s failure
will be his.
The reservations proposed by Mr.
Hughes are, perhaps, more effective
than any which have been suggested.
Most important of all is the reserva
tion bearing on Article X.
The gist of this reservation is that
the United States will assume no mil
itary or naval obligation under the
article unless and until the congress
of the United States, as required by
the constitution, shall give its author
ization. The reservation concludes
with these words: “ . . . which
has exclusive authority to declare
war or to determine for the United
States whether there is any obliga
tion on its part under said article
and the means of action by which
such obligation shall be fulfilled.”
Apparently, therefore, the reserva
tion is comprehensive. It covers not
only military and naval action but
all action which the executive council
of the league may propose—such, for
example, as an economic boycott.
If the congress of the United States
reserves the right to decide what this
country’s obligation shall b*e there is
not so much reason for fearing that
we shall become involved in unjust
wars. If congress reserves the right
to withhold our support it is incon
ceivable that we would ever wage war
to maintain Japan’s position in Shan
tung as against the rightful owner—
China.
But what are we to do about the
Shantung provisions of the treaty?
Are wre to ignore them and rely upon
the reservation to Article X? Should
we expressly reject the Shantung
award?
Every consideration of American
tradition and principle impels us to
repudiate the Shantung compact. If
we take such action, however, the
treaty must go back to the peace
table for amendment, for our action
would be more than a reservation, it
would be a positive rejection of an
entire section of the treaty.
VOICE OF THE ALASKA PRESS
One Seward man remarks that the
rain interferes with his harvesting of
hay. Another remarks that the rain
forestalls his work of watering his
garden. Oh, very well; some are
pleased and others are not.—Seward
Gateway. i

Eight members of congress and
Secretary Lane will visit Alaska,
leaving Seattle next Thursday. Not
having looked up the game laws late
ly, we are not sure whether August
is open season for congressmen in
Alaska or not.—Douglas News.
Up to the present time it has
taken a large part of the United
States navy and several hundred men
to bring five alleged fish pirates to
the bar of justice at Juneau. With
out any disrespect for the business
brain of the originator of the S. O. S.
call at the territorial capital, we re
spectfully suggest the navy go in dry
dock and the First division send for
Marshal Brenneman and District At
torney Munley.—Valdez Miner.
The school board appear to have
found it necessary to increase the
school taxes against certain business
property in Anchorage. The 5-mill
tax of last year is not increased, but
a higher valuation is placed on prop
erty which amounts to the same thing
from the standpoint of dollars and
cents. This action may have been
necessary. Doubtless it was, or the
school board would not have im
posed it. But it does seem to us that
the Anchorage schools, for the num
ber of pupils attending, is an expen
sive adjunct of this .community —
