HE United States senate will ratify the peace ‘treaty and approve the league of nations with- cout making any vital change in the much ¢érit- icized covenant. This prediction is entirely safe. During the last two weeks every ob- server at the capitol has watched the thin red line of Republican opposition waveripg, and has realized that the growing indecision megnt the triumph of the league.. The collapse of the Knox resolution asking separate con- sideration of the covenant, the strate- gic retirement of Senator Lodge as a hostile critic, the indorsement of the league by Elihu Root, and finally the outspoken stand of Senator Lenroot that partisan rancor is not sufficient ground for opposing the league of na- tions, have been the high lights of the changing attitude. Paradoxical as it may seem, the sudden collapse of the Republican op- position is a rather disheartening de- velopment for those who see in the league of nations a great moral for- ward movement for the masses of mankind. For months the people of America have favored the league as an insurance against future wars. At Atlantic City the American Federa- tion of Labor voted overwhelmingly to indorse it. This sentiment has.had no influence on the senate. The evi- dence is strong that Wall street is behind the change of front. The Republican rally to the league of nations dates from the time, three weeks ago, when Elihu Root, after consultation. with Henry P. Davison of the firm of J. P. Morgan & Co.," showed a copy of the peace treaty to Senator Lodge “in confidence,” pre- cipitating, through one of the Repub- lican leader’s not infrequent tactical breaks, the disclosure that the inter- national financial interests were in . full possession of all knowledge con- cerning the treaty and the league of nations. LODGE’S OPPOSITION TO LEAGUE IS MODIFIED Just what Root said to Lodge about the necessity of supporting the league of nations will probably never be made public. It is noticeable, how- ever, that since that time Mr. Lodge’s opposition to the covenant -has been very mild, mmllar to Mr. Root’s own stand. It was during the furor over the peace tgeaty revelations, about the time that it became known that the full text was possessed by the firm of Morgan, the National City bank, Kuhn-Loeb, and Root, that Frank A. Vanderlip, retiring president of the National City bank, demonstrated in Washington that financial assistance -to Europe should be through the chan- nels of. private banking institutions, instead of national loans. Europe, Mr. Vanderlip said, will need much assistance from this country in getting to her feet: Proper returns on this assistance, it was intimated, can only come if social ‘conditions are stabi- lized by some such medium as the league of nations provides. And Mr. Vanderlip should know, for during the war the National City bank has been active in extending its financial ten- tacles abroad. The Republican opponents, however, were unwilling for obvious Treasons to. shift their footing on the league over night and on June 10 Senator Knox, another crafty leader, trundled a big gun up to-cover the retreat and fired his resolution calling on the peace - conference. to insert a para- é graph m the treaty enablmg the LJ?AGB TIN - cal to their business. United States to reserve decision on the league of nations while ratifying all the peace terms. Keen observers predicted at the time that this reso- lution would bury itself harmlessly and events have amply-borne out the prophecy. . ; At the present time Senator Knox appears absolutely indifferent to the fate of his resolution. Senator Lodge, anxious to maintain Republi- can morale during the retreat, for some time kept on talking about bringing up the Knox resolution “later.” . Now, however, he contents himself with assertions that the Re- publicans have enough votes to amend the covenant and will do so. CHANGES IN COVENANT ARE HELD DOUBTFUL Perhaps the league of nations cov- enant will be amended somewhat by the “senate, but even this contention is now open to doubt. The Democrats, led by .Senator Hitchcock, are stand- ing firmly for ratification without change and only one dissenter, Sen- ator Reed of Missouri, is found on their side of the upper chamber. Meantime the Republican leadership has been dissolved,. small units are- fighting with each other, and general confusion reigns. All this .has come since the now famous interview be- tween Senator Lodge and the repre- sentative of the powerful Morgan in- terests. The latest development in bringing circumstantial evidence to- gether ‘is found in the special trip to Washington of Elihu Root. Senator McNary of Oregon has also just come out flatfooted for the league. The present situation is so dis- heartening for the Repubhcan leaders, whose one thought is to maintain par- ty solidarity to beat the Democrats in 1920, that National Chairman Will Hays has been summoned to the capi- tol and will be called upon to exercise his powers of conciliation to the ‘ut- most. But even the genius of Mr. Hays will probably be powerless be- fore the one outstanding factor—that the international money power inter- ests favor the league of nations as the one thing which can save Europe from the sweep of new ideas inimi- It is this power which makes the prophecy of ratifi- cation a sure bet. The little tragedy in the situation, of course, is found in the insecure and exposed position now occupied by Sen- ator Hiram Johnson, Senator Borah and one or two others who opposed the league on principle and have been unable to drop their “Americanism” like an old glove at.a nod from high- er up. There is no likelihood that Johnson will alter his stand, and by his courage he will probably sacrifice all chance of the Republican nomina- - tion in 1920, meaning the end of the last hope that a progressive might occupy the presidential chair. ~FROM A RETURNED SOLDIER .- Rancher, Mont. Editor Nonpartisan Leader: . I have read the Leader for some time, and the way it comes out with the truth makes it clear why' “big business” is opening up its purse to such men as Patterson and the “Rev.” Mr. Maxwell. Before returning home, we were very much interested in the rumor that Montana was preparing to offer ‘an extra bonus 'to the returned goldiers from the state. Most of us are mighty glad to be home, but why can't Montana, with all her wealth, fall into line with North Dakota? Monuments' are all right, but these boys who came home aren’t dead yet, as will be shown by the ex-soldler votes fi-om ‘now om.: .
