THE SICK MAN OF THE WHITE
HOUSE
President Wilson, returning from
Paris, made his appeal to the people
lor support against the senate and for
the covenant of the League of Nations
by saying that the United States had
given its word and must not fail.
Every person who knows the United
States constitution knew that the
United States had not given its word
and could not give its word dntil two
thirds of the senate consented. Lord
€rey, for the British government,
says that it was understood the United
States had given no pledges until the
senate had given them.
Mr. Wilson said that the United
States would break the heart of the
world if it did not accept without the
change of a word the covenant he had
signed in Paris. Lord Grey says that
the British are not only quite willing
to accept the United States in the
league with its reservations, but that
the British think the United States
is right in protecting itself with these
reservations. The French government
has given the same assurances.
Mr. Wilson thus made two attacks
upon the credulity of the people by
whom he was elected President to
serve their interests. He called upon
the American sense of honor when
that honor was not involved. He
called upon its humanity for suffering
Bhsrope when suffering Europe said
that what he wanted was not needed.
He asked the United States to make
cacrifices of its sovereignty and
•urope does not ask that they be
made.
An inexplicable leader of this na
tion, ill in bed for months, unable to
consult cabinet ministers or to receive
foreign ambassadors, he finds that
every reason he has urged for the
surrender of American rights is erased
kw t /-\ Tl A T AVkl An i-n II’Vl A n A A k A If
M j til V i vi J w ^ * v v ' ' ii vv v u '
he urged the surrender and nothing
remains but the indomitable determi
nation to have his way even if he is
unable either physically or mentally
to explain why he alone in the world
wants the United States to impair its
rights, amend its constitution and sur
render its sovereignty.
The men whom he controls in the
senate do not understand either his
position or liis statements. They do
not know why he wants the things
lie insists they shall obtain. Men of
his own party are in rebellion against
him, but by the power of his unrea
soning “No,” unexplained and unjusti
fied, he holds a minority in the senate
as an obstacle to the majority. In his
sick bed he is more powerful than
the Americanism of the majority in
the senate, more powerful than the
rational leaders in his own party, and
more powerful than the statesmen of
allies who want us to come into the
league upon our own terms.
He has succeeded in spreading
throughout Europe the idea that the
United States is a quitter. He has
persuaded uninformed people in Great
Britain and France that a group of
contemptible partisans in the senate
prevented the United States from do
ing what it ought to do for the re
establishment of peace. He has
spread the impression that the United
States is a selfish, cowardly holdout.
When wise statesmen use the meth
ods Lord Grey and Lloyd George have
used to correct this injuious impres
sion which is ruining the reputation
•f the United States and impairing its
friendships there is resentment at the
White House. It is intimated that
Lord Grey, the ambassador Mr. Wilson
would not receive even to present his
credentials, and who had to go back
home, is guilty of a breach of propri
ety which will make him unacceptable
to the American government.
It is an incredible phenomenon in
- ■ ■ - ' 1 ■ - l
American history. Mr. Wilson is a
combination of Achilles . and Ajax,
sulking in his tent and defying the
lightning. There are no reasons for
his attitude. He offers none to defend
it. Elxcept for the timorous and be
wildered loyalty of a group of Demo
cratic senators to the autocratic “No”
from the White House, he has no sup
port.
The people who were misled by
grandiloquent phrases and by unspar
ing criticism of American patriotism
are having their eyes opened.
Europe, which is suffering because
we do not make peace, tells us that
the Lodge reservations are good in
principle. We are told we are within
our rights. We are told that the
league wants us upon the terms Lodge
offers.
The world is begging for peace. It
can not have it because an American
President who gave Great Britain,
France, Italy and Japan everything
they wanted will not have peace until
the United States gives up rights and
powers which make it a free nation
and gives them up in spite of the fact
6
that no nation wants the surrender
made.
If the senate continues to be par
alyzed by this astonishing aberration
it will condemn itself as unequal to its
duty to the nation, unable to act in
its proper function when the chief
magistrate can not and will not.
The senate can give the peace which
the United States and the rest of the
world wants and must have, and then
if Mr. Wilson interposes himself some
thing else will have to be done about
it and should be done.—Chicago Tri

| ADMIRAL W. S. SIMS: BORN TO TROUBLE |
Rear Admiral William S. Sims, U.
S. N., appears to be born to trouble
as the sparks fly upward. You see. he
has the sailor’s habit of speaking his
mind. A year or so before the war he
was given an official reprimand for
publicly stating that American and
British battleships would be found
side -by si.de in the hour of danger.
Just the same, this same sailorman
not Jong afterward was in command of
the American fleet that went to the
aid of England—and did some admir
able work.
On bis return to this country Ad
mirable Sims wrote a series of articles
on the American navy abroad. He
fell foul of the Sinn Feiners in Ire
land and raised another rumpus.
And now Admiral Sims declines
to accept the distinguished service
medal awarded him, and practically
accuses secretary or tne A'avy Dan
iels of gross favoritism in making the
awards. It appears that Secretary
Daniels did not pay much attention to the list of 19 naval officers recom
mended for the distinguished service medal by Admiral Sims. Anyway, Sec
retary Daniels ordered the navy department’s board of awards reconvened, to
revise the recommendations. Chairman Page of the senate committee'on
naval affairs requested full information concerning the recommendations of
the board of awards and the secretary’s changes therein.
There may be a congressional investigation going into the whole matter.
President Wilson has the final say in the award of medals and crosses.
