POINCARE’S EXCUSE.
According to Premier Poincare, the
-whole trouble in the Ruhr arose from
the failure of the United States and
Great Britain to carry out the pledge
given at Versailles to enter into a tri
partite agreement whereby France
would be guaranteed against an un
provoked invasion from Germany.
Whatever merit there may be in 'his
excuse for France’s aggressive tactics;
on the Rhine—and it does not seem
to be valid in any serious degree—the
fact remains that there never existed
the least probability that the agree,
ment would be signed by the United
States. It was approved by President;
Wilson at the peace conference and
jf recollection serves it was presented
to the senate as a supplementary codi
cal to the treaty. There it has re
mained and it will remain until time
has returned it to its original dusty1
elements.
The incident recall* some of the!
heartburnings incident to the Versail
les conference. Apparently the allies
relied udoii the president to speak for
his country, despite tlie fact that they
should have accepted the warning im
plied by the round robin in the sen
ate. It was no fault of the people of
this country if they failed to realize
that under our form of government na
ambassador, envoy or delegate, wheth-i
er he be president or one of the pres-,
ideni’s appointees, has the power to
commit the country to any final policy. |
The president may negotiate but his.
work must be ratified by two thirds of
the Senate before it is constitution,
ally legal, in fact, something of the
same system exists in other leading
country, although the premiers of En
gland or France, for instance, is a
more authoritative spokesman for hisi
country titan is our president for the
reason that he necessarily has his,
government behind him.
It is easy to suspect that France un
derstood tiie American system too well
in 1918 to be under any misapprehen
sions, unless the peace conferees were
convinced by President Wilson that
he spoke with real authority. The
temper of the people of this country
throughout the peace negotiations;
certainly gave no room for believing |
that the three-power pact, where the
French nation was to be guaranteed
against Germany encroachments or in
vasion would receive American sanc
tion, regardless of the fact that
France at the time abandoned its de_
mand for a Rhineland barrier only on
condition that the tri-partite agree
ment be signed by President Wilson
and Premier Lloyd George.
Premier Poincare’s attempt to place
the responsibility of French invasion
of Germany is too clumsy a subter
fuge to cause any qualm of conscience
to pervade the American people. The
premier knows that France intends to
keep the Ruhr, if she can, and she at- j
tempts to ease her conscience by fix
ing the blame upon her allies

Marco, owned in Seattle and chartered;
