Smuts, who is principal au- thor of the league covenant, signed the treaty but filed astatement pro- esting against the territorial terms and the harsh indemnities. But most tragic of all was the state *ment of the Chinese delegates aft- er the American delegation had definitely abandoned them to the Japanese. “The responsibility for this (re- fusal the treaty) re e- with those who unju and unmecessarily deprive (the Chimese) of the right of mak ing a declaration to safeguard against any interpretation which might preclude China from asking for 4 teconsideration of the Shan- tung question * * * in that the injustice to China might be rectified later IN THE INTER- EST OF PERMANENT PE.

WRONG TO SUBMIT GERMANS TO ALIEN RULE The German press that the German people presently will overthrow the treaty which thetr delegates have signed. I was one of those who believed in the righteousness of our war against the imperial German gov- ernment, who would have gone to war with it over the Lusitania; I believe that the treaty is unright- tous, and therefore unwise, in sub- Jecting 5,000,000 Germans to allen rule, and in forbidding 12,000,000 people in German Austria tos unite with their kinsmen of Germany The American people will not cousciously become party to Wrongs like these, any more than they will become party to the Shantung settlement. China joined in the war against Germany, America did. The allies, like Jv Iscariot, have re ing her oldest ar announces ¢ Japanese. It is as if England had been awarded to Canada and made sub- Ject to the British empire as the result of our entering the war! ! AMERICAN PEOP!
