BREAKING THE HEART OF THE
WORLD
President Wilson has been very in
sistent upon the passage of the treaty
of peace without modification or reser
vation, and has insisted that the fail
ure of the United States senate to
ratify it as presented would “break
the heart of the world.” There has
been more than g suspicion in the
minds of a majority of the people of
this country that he was in more dan
ger of being heartbroken over the fail
lire of his pretentious program, to rev
olutionize the world than was the
world itself. He insisted "that Europe
demanded that the treaty be ratified
without change, and that any modifica
tion, whether in the form of amend
ment or of reservation, would endan
ger it. But it appears that the suspi
cion that he was speaking twice for
himself and once only for “the world” j
was well founded. This is what Sir
•eorge Paish, British economist and
statesman, has to say regarding our
ratification of the peace treaty:
“Whatever America wants will be
acceptable to Europe. If America
feels that certain reservations to the
treaty of Versailles are necessary, that
is America’s business, and no ally na
tion has any wish to dictate. Nor
have I discovered any hostility to res
ervations on the part of statesmen and
financiers who count.
“No; Europe understands America
4uite well enough to perceive that
there is nothing hurtful to Europe in
the present treaty situation based on
the demand for reservations.
"It is, however, essential to the wel
fare of the whole world that America
rauiy tne treaty as swittly as may be.
I am not, if you please, offering my
opinion. I am assuming to convey in
few words what I have found Euro
pean sentiment to be. That is, let
America ratify in any manner she
wishes to. We merely pray that her
assent will soon be recorded.”
It, therefore, appears that the one
who is guilty of “breaking the heart
of the world” is not the United States
senate, in its patriotic stand to pre
serve our national independence, but
Mr. Wilson himself, in his endeavor to
have his own way or wreck the treaty.
What “the world” wants, and what
the United States senate, but for Mr.
Wilson’s interference and attempt at
dominance, would have granted, is
ratification of the treaty, with or with
out reservations. The main thing is
peace, formally declared, and not any
insistence upon carrying out Mr. Wil
son’s program. The terms on which
we are willing to ratify the treaty and
enter into the League of Nations are,
as Sir George so well and truly says,
“America’s business.” It is not Wood
row Wilson’s business unless he is in
aocord with public sentiment in this
eountry. Public sentiment has been
very clearly expressed at the polls,
and the United States senate is sim
ply carrying out the mandate of the
people when it insists upon reserva
tions.
It is time for Mr. Wilson to cease
kin obstructive policy, allow the “as
sent” of the country through its mouth
piece, the senate, to be “soon record
ed” and to cease from his willful
“breaking the heart of the world.”
FOR AMERICAN MERCHANT
MARINE
The United States Chamber of Com
merce has been conducting a referen
dum among the different commercial
organizations throughout the country,
receiving replies from nearly fifteen
hundred, on one phase or another of
the merchant marine question. The
vote leaves no question of the attitude
of these bodies on the desirability of
an adequate merchant marine. Gov
ernment ownership or operation are
.almost unanimously opposed as being
more expensive of operation and less
flexible of management. There is a
very pronounced opposition against
government regulation of routes and
t
rates. The sale of ships now owned
by the government is favored, also the
proposition that the government ab
sorb the difference between the cost
and the present value of the shipping.
The vote stood 1,373 to 93 for a gen
eral declaration on the part of con
gress of a policy of giving aid toward
maintaining a privately owned and op
erated American merchant marine. We
formerly had a merchant marine of
which we were justly proud. There is.
no' reason why we may not again
have such a one. But it will speedily
develop that the American people are
against subsidies. There is only one
way in which the government can
give support to the merchant marine,
and that is by the policy which was
formerly pursued, discriminating du
ties.
We believe that the American peo
ple favor such a policy. Goods im
ported in foreign ships should pay a
higher duty than those imported in
American ships. That will solve the
difficulty. It will give our ships such
a preference that they will be able to
secure cargoes in competition with
foreign ships. It may be that some
of our shipping laws need revision,
but the fir^t step should be an adop
tion of a law providing for discrimi
nating duties and the abrogation of
all treaties inconsistent with such a
policy. Let us have an American mer
chant marine.
