Sympathy for Poland. "I shall not now attempt to measure the boundless sympathy for the Just aspirations and restored independence of Poland. Our present concern i Is the International situation which i Poland has brought to our attention. "The council of the League of Nations would have reasoned, and reasoned correctly, that the United States could furnish (he munitions and. If , necessary, the men to withstand the \ hordes advancing from Russia far J more easily than could the exhausted nations of Europe. Moreover, lnasl much as this would be the first test . of the scheme of world government > which was formulated and demanded j by "the President, speaking for the United States, the fact of a special responsibility, resting upon our shoulders, manifestly would have been undeniable. Undoubtedly the league ■ council.

If the senate had ratified the league covenant, requires no stretch of the Imagination. None can deny that It la possible.

In response , to a query Incorporating the assumption that the case provided for and prescribed bad arisen' " and that the > extraneous attack did exist precisely as It does exist today tn Poland.' the President admltteHjinecflcally that *we would be untrue lfwe did Dot keep our word.' "Replying further to a question which- perhaps I ought not to have considered necessary, the President ■ pronounced a moral obligation 'of course, superior to a legal obligation' and of 'a greater binding force.' 1 -What, then, becomes of the argument that Congress, ndt the President In this Instance at any rate, might 'keep us out of war?" Technically, of course. It could do so. Morally, with equal certainty, it could not do so nor would It ever do -so. The American people would never permit a repudiation of a debt of honor. "Am I not right, my countrymenIn saying that we needed only the outbreak of war between Poland and | Russia to make us realize at least | one of the things which, 1n the words of Secretary 1 rinsing, we would have been 'let In for.' but for the restraining hand of the senate, and to fetch home to us the danger of committing our country In advance to causes that we know not of? Not Our Purpose. "One enn have no quarrel with those ; who have convinced themselves thaf i our underlying In entering the | great conflict was to create a league , ; of nations. The fact remains, how j > ever, that no such Intent was officially ' I acclaimed, no allusion, nor even a sug- | ! "gpstlon to that effect appeared In the i Joint resolution of Congress which de^ • clared the existence of a state of war • between this country and Germany. For myself 1 left no room for doubt • of tbe motives which led me to cast i my vote In favor of that resolution It so happened that I made the concluding speech upon the war resolu- ; tion, from my place In the senate, on I the night of April 4. 1017. These were my own words at that time: "'1 want It knowfc to the people of - my state and t« ihe nation that I am i voting foi wir tonight for the main tenaace »f Just American rights, which Is the first essential 'to the preservation sftbe soul of this republic. "'1 TotV for this Joint resolution to mfke war, not a war thrust upon us, if I ooald choose tbe language of tbe resolntion. but a war declared In response to affronts; a' war that will , at least put a soul Into our American life : a war not for the cause of the , allies of Europe ; a war not for France beautiful as the sentiment may be In , reviving at least our gratitude to the French people ; not precisely a war fo; civilization, worthy and inspiring ti , that would be: but a war that speaks , , for the majesty of a people properly | governed, who finally are brought to the crucial test where they are resolved to get together and wage a con- i fllct for the maintenance of their rights and the preservation of the ] covenant inherited from their fathers . "We have given to the world the • spectacle of a great nation that conld i make war without selfish Intent. Wp unsheathed the sword some eighteen , years ago for the first time In the his- , -tory of the world.

The 1 Independence of our great republic Is 1 to me a priceless and sacred Inheri- 1 tance. Time was when an American ' did not hesitate to proclaim himself a 1 patriot To do so now, I am well 1 aware.

"It was with that feeling of syia pathy and desire to serve, that mosi reluctantly and Vlth grave misgiving as I announced at the time, I with reservations designed to preserve our essential liberty of action. The record la made, and onder the same conditions, confronted by the same alternative, I should vote now as I voted then. Conditions Have Changed. "Rut the conditions have changed. Experience has brought -enlighten roent We know now that the league constituted at Versailles Is utterly 1m potent as a preventive of wars. It Isso obviously Impotent that it has not even been tried. The original league • mistakenly conceived and uqreason I ably Insisted upon, has undoubtedly passed beyond the possibility of res toratlon. The maturer judgment of the world will be that It deserved »«> pass for the eery simple reason that, coalrar^ to all of the tendencies devel " oped by the civilizing processes of the world. It rested upon the power of might, not of right. "The assertion is made frequently ! that through the surrender of our nai tionallty we might have saved the llfs of the covenant— that Is to say, that although twenty-eight nations conld not make It function, one added to the I twenty-eight would have achieved a j glowing success, provided, always, that ; the one were America. * "This pays to America the tribute of exceptional Influence, but I suggest that If the world Is dependent upon our action to bring about the supreme realization. then we ought to hare tbe say about our own freedom In ptmlclpating therein. Rut let ns cotfslder what Is meant by this reliance upon America. What can It signify If not that It Is to the Untied States, and to the United States alone, that the other twenty-eight nations look for the bone and sinew, the money, the monitions and the men to sustain the entire organization. not as an agency of peace, bnt as an armed force? A Telling Admission. "A few days ago a delegation of an organization which calls Itself a Society for the Prevention of War appealed to tbe premier of Great Britain to untie and use the powers of the world In defense of Poland. Armenia and the Dardanelles The British premier replied, according; to his remarks quoted by the newspapers, to tbe effect that, while the formation of "an International urmy' would be 'an Ideal solution.' It could not be accomplish ed because the European nations could not furuish the troops and the United States, had 'withdrawn from co-opera-tion' — a polite and diplomatic phrase and more exactly meaning, of course, that the senate of the United States not completed the partial obligation assumed by the President to do that very thing — that Is. to 'furnish the troops.' Could a clearer Indication of what would have been expected of this country aa a member of the league be desired? Hardly. Some, too. think, or say they think, that this extraordinary service should be rendered. I do not agree with them, but, assuming that they are right. I venture to note that nothing stands In the way of performance.* The President has only to call upon Congress to declare war, and to confer upon him specific authority to raise armlet for the protection of the powers which, though recently associated with-, are still foreign to our own republic. "It Is reasonably safe to assume, however, that the President will not . this course. Fortunately, he under no 'compelling moral obligation' under the league to do so. His recent unjappy experience, moreover, asking Congress to send American to police Armenia wonld hardly encourage repetition of a request already courteously but quite firmly declined by the Cflhgress. What then, in like dreu distances, wonld be the answer of the British premier himself? his own words, addressing a meetof the Coalition Liberals on Angnst 12 last, according to the press reports, he said: " "When the terrible question of peace or war has to be decided, onr duty as a government Is to the people, who trust ns not to commit their treasure to any unjustifiable adventure. Nothing but the most Impero tive call of nstlonal honor, national safety, and national freedom can Justify war. - Before this country Is committed to It, even In the most limited form, we most be satisfied that these to peril.'

Only the other day the ' British premier said noresentfully I that the 'essential co-operation of America might Involve 'some change, at any rate.

"Listen, further, to the wise and farseeing, former' British ambassador, who was not permitted to present his credentials to our executive. On Our Own Terms.
