THE SIX VOTES MYTH.
In an address delivered at Los
j
Angeles in September, before one
of the largest audiences that greet
ed him on his recent visit to the
Pacific coast, President Wilson gave
an explanation of the process of
voting in the League of Nations—'
an explanation that shows that the
manner of voting is not as it has
been represented by opposition J
speakers and newspapers.
“Another thing that is giving
some of our fellow countrymen
pangs of some sort, pangs of jeal
ousy, perhaps," said the President,
“is that, as they put it. Great Brit
ain has six votes in the league and
we have only one. Well, our one
vote, it happens, counts just as
heavily as if every one of our:
states were represented and we had
48 votes, because it happens, though
these gentlemen have overlooked it,:
that the assembly is not an inde- ’
pendent voting body. Great Britain !
has only one representative and one;
vote in the council of the League j
of Nations, which originates all ac-!
tion, and its six votes are in the j
assembly, which is a debating and |
not an executive body, and in every j
matter on which the assembly can j
vote, along with the council, it is'
necessary that all the nations rep- j
resented on the council should con
cur in the affirmative vote to make
it valid; so that in every’ vote, no i
matter how many vote for it in the ;
assembly, in order for it to become
valid, it is necessary that the Unit
ed States vote aye.
“Notinasmuch as the assembly j
is a debating body, that is -the place
where this exposure that I have j
talked about to the open air is to !
occur; it would not be wise for,
anybody to go into the assembly
for purposes that will not bear ex
posure, because that is the great
cooling process of the world, that !
is the place where gases are to be
burned off. I ask you, in debating i
the affairs of mankind, would it
have been fair to give Panama a
vote, as she will have, Cuba a vote,
both of them very much under the
influence of the United States, and
not give a vote to the Dominion of
Canana. to that great energetic re
public in South Africa, to that
place from which so many libera!
ideas and liberal actions have come, j
that stout little Commonwealth of
Australia?"
THE BULGARIAN VIEW.
The terms of peace prescribed h;
the Allies to Bulgaria produced pro
found disappointment and depres
sion throughout the country, ac
cording to an Associated Press re
port from Sofia. The people, press
and government were unanimous ir
condemning them as harsh and hu
miliating. Young King Boris wa:
much grieved when he read the an
nouncement of the terms. He hac
not believed Bulgaria would b<
stripped of Thrace, its entire coas!
line on the Aegean sea, and a pari
of its Western frontier.
Minister of War Madjaroff, for
merly Bulgarian minister to Lon
don, declared to The Associated
Press that Bulgaria might for the
moment be humiliated and crushed,!
but she would rise up a pa in with j
renewed strength—it might be five j
years from now, it might be ten,
it might be twenty, but rise she
would. Her “just miliary and terri
torial desires might be repressed by
the force of superior numbers, but I
her spirit, which was eternal, could j
not be suppressed by any power on |
earth."
The Bulgarians, he continued,
were a patient, forbearing people,
with whom patriotism and national
honor were a passion. There could
be no peace in the Balkans under
such an “unjust territorial arrange
ment" as the peace conference had '
laid down. Bulgaria would have
to prepare to resist the invasion of ,
i ]
its soil by her hostile neighbors, j
which sooner or later was inevita- j
ble. She could not attain her nor- j
mal. economic, political or social j!
rrowth under the “harsh provisions" s
)f the treaty. She might be com- 1
Jelled out of self-preservation, if 1
:he terms were not modified, to re- 1
sort to drastic expedients. He was '
iot prepared to say what these
were.
He declared the peace terms to j
Bulgaria not only were a mockery |
>f President Wilson’s principles of j
rationalities and the territorial in
;egrity of small nations, but were
i direct refutation of the cause for
which the Allies professed to have ■
Fought.
"How could any just and wel1
informed group of statesmen,” he
isked. “give Czaribrod and other
Bulgarian cities in which there was
rot a single Serb to the Serbians?
How could they expect Bulgaria to
•arry on its industrial life with
;verv port on the Aegean closed
:o her?" The peace of fhe Allies,
re declared, was not a peace—it
was a “travesty on justice.”
