THE SEATTLE STAR—THURSDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1918, BY JAMES HAMILTON LEWIS United States Senator From Illinois and Administration Leader in the Senate. (Written for the Newspaper Enterprise Association.) I The first proposition is to force the repeal of the * old international custom of allowing men chosen as private servants of king or ruler to contract secretly the rights, lives and property of the peoples of nations without authority of these people, and with no voice of the people who are corisigned to war or national degradation in their defense. Wilson institutes the new era of international diplomacy—"all ecards on the table’ the people themselves to play the fame that has them for its stake, Only by their moves at public convention or ballot box decision shall their fates ever be put in national or international balance. IL. The freedom of seas—in peace and in war—is the one article which, violated in ruthless manner, by methods of destruction of property and murder of mankind, forced America into the world war, ‘This contention of human right ts based on the privilege of enjoy. ing the gifts of God. It was heaven that made and gave to man the earth, the sea and all that lay therein. ° The conf®ntion for this privilege has been an ever-existing con- Miet so long an civilization has been struggling for peace over bar. bariam, The discovery of America, in the fifteenth century, provoked Spain to cut off the world from the seas, giving to her rulers possea sion of its privileges. Every land arose against this, The popes of Rome entered the dispute, and asserted tho sea as the gift of God, not to be monopolized by any man or land From that time any attempt to do such bas made war. It was for this privilege America went to war with the king of England in 1812, then with the emperor of France tn 1813 The second provision of Wileon would repeal any deeree or any international doctrine or assumption of any country to close any sea by any obstruction, whether in war or in peace. It establishes the open seas of the world as an open highway for man to any place man may §0, or to which he would send his products for gift or for profit. IT 18 THE FIRST NECESSITY FOR WORLD FREEDOM, AND THE FIRST GREAT STEP TO AVOID WARS FOR ALL THE FUTURE, The removal of economic barriers between na- tions forming a league of peace. THIS HAS, NO REFERENCE TO THE QUESTION OF PROTEC- TIVE TARIFF, HIGH OR LOW DUTIES ON IM- PORTS. I regret that in certain intelligent quarters the opposite view has been expressed. At first thought every one must see how impossible it would be for the president of the United States or its congress or tts people to preseribe tariff makers as between Buropean la among (hemselvee or as between Asia and Europe. The meaning of this clause in to prevent barriers barring trade in any One or many subjects between lands, as instanced when Ger many with a grievance cut off all meats from the United States on any terms, and the United States in retaliation cut German barley off from our market on any terms, This was leading to the prohibition of all machinery—and soon to conflict The same course was threatened when we cut off all of Canada’s lumber; then Canada cut off all our wheat. President Taft tried to remove these trade barriers by a convention or law of reciprocity. To avoid repetitions such am these, that can lead peoples to war, is the president's alm. That is why the clause is used in connec tion with the League of Peace. If tariff were the thought, that clause would not have been limited to nations entering @ league of peace, but to be of value would have been applied to every land shipping to us ita products. IV. Tho reduction of armaments, This means to equalize the bur. © den of war defense among the league of nations so that each in proportion of population may be equal and equally oppose each other, and equally remove the taxes from the citizen heretofore put on him for war expenses. ~~... ee, President Wilson's Fourteen Terms of Peace, Stated in His Address to Congress January 6, Are: 1. Open covenants of peace, openly arrived at, after which there shall be no private interna tional understanding of any kind, but dip! y shall pro ceed always frankly and in the public view 2. Absolute freedom of naviga tion upon the seas, outside terrt torgal waters, alike in pence and in war, except as the seas may be cloned in whole or in part by international action for the en forcement of international cove: nants, 3. The removal, #0 far as pow sible, of ali economic barriers and the establishment of an equality of trade conditions among all nations consenting to the peace and associating them. selves for its maintenance, 4. Adequate guarantees given and taken that national arma ments will be reduced to the low est point consistent with domes tle safety 5. A free, open-minded and ab- solutely Impartial adjustment of all colontal claims, based upon a strict observance of the princt ple that, in determining all such questions of sovereignty, the In terests of the populations con- cerned must have equal weight with the équitable claims of the government whose title is to be determined. 6. The evacuation of all Rus. sian territory and such a settle ment of all questions affecting Ruraia will secure the bent and freest co-operation of the other nations of the world in obtaining for her an unham: pered and unembarrassed oppor. tunity for the independent de- termination of her own political development and national policy Belgium must be evacuated and restored, without any at tempt to limit the sovereignty which she enjoys in common with all other free nations 8. All French territory should be freed the invaded por tions restored, and the wrong done to France by Prussia in 1871 In the matter of Alsace Lorraine, which ha unsettled of the world for nearly years, should be righted, in order that peace may once more be made secure in the interest of all 9. A readjustment of the fron- tlers of Italy should be effected along clearly recognizable lines of nationality 10, The peoples of Austria- Hungary, whose place among nations we wish to see safe guarded and assured, should be accorded the freest opportunity of autonomous development 11, Rumania, Serbia and Mon tenegro should be evacuated; oc cupled territories restored; Ser- bia accorded free and secure ac cons to the nea and the relations of the several Balkan states to one another determined by friendly counsel along historical ly established Unes of allegiance and nationality 12. The Turkish position on the present Ottoman empire should be assured a secure sov- ereignty, but the other nation- alities which are now under Turkish rule should be assured an undoubted security of life and an absolutely unmolested opportunity of autonomous de- velopment, and the Dardanelles should be permanently opened as a free panmge to the ships and commerce of all nations un der international guarantees 13. An independent Polish state whould be erected, which should include the territories in habited by indisputably Polish populations, which should be as sured a free and secure access to the sea and whose political and economic independence and territorial integrity should be guaranteed by international cov- enant. 14. A general aanociation of nations must be formed under npecific covenants for the pur pose of affording mutual guar antees of political independence and territorial integrity to great and small states alike. V. Adjuntments of colonial claims based on popular rights. This means to do what the United States has done in the Philippines and Porto Rico; giving the people of the colonies the privilege to aay ygth their ballot what they feel demand the. adjustment of all people shall for themneives, in decide by popular voice should be their colonial any In other words, popular rights, a@d to questions as these colonial intelligent manner practicable, colonial government as central government, by the consent of the governed.
