By every accepted standard of international morality the president is justified in asmerting that the honor of the country is involved in this business; and we point to the accusing fact that, before it*was de termined to initiate political an- tagoniom to the treaty, the now re publican chairman of the senate foreign relations committee himself publicly proclaimed that any propo- |aition for ® weparate peace with Germany, such as he and his party associates thereafter reported to the |senate, would make us “gullty of | the blackest crime.” | Om May 16 last the Knox substi. |tute for the Vervailles treaty was fanned by the republican senate; |and this convention can contrive no more fitting characterization of its oblojuy than that made in the Forum Magazine of December, 1918, by Henry Cabot Lodge, when he said; “If we send our armies 608 Third Ave. these principles into effective laws, ed only when the war claimed all the LEAGUE OF NATIONS |not the only, practicable means of SATISFY |wufferable burden of-@reat military | traditional isolation and spent her TAILORS Painl Cl OTHES begun and carried far by the demo | national energies for the single task The democratic party favors the jmaintaining the permanent peace of and naval evtablishmenta.

Only by do-| ing this may we retrieve the repu tation of this nation among the powers of the earth and recover the moral leadership whieh Preat dent Wilson won and which reputy Hean politicians at Washington se rificed. Only by doing this may we hope to ald effectively in t restoration of order thruout the world and to take the place which we should assume in the front Yank commercial and indus trial advancement We reject ax utterly vatp, if not! cious, the republican aseumption | that ratification of the treaty and membership in the league of nations would In any wise impair the tnteg- | rity or Independence of our country. The fact that the covenant has been entered inte by 29 nations, all as Jealous of their independence as we are of ours, fe a sufficient refutation of such charge, The preddent re peatedly has dectared, and thin « | vention reaffirms, that all our duties and obligations as a member of the league must be fulfilled in strict |conformity with the constitution of jthe Unit in embodied in which the fundamental requirement of declaratory action by the congress before this nation may become a participant in any war. CONDUCT OF THE WAR During the war President Wileon exhibited the véry broadest con-) ception of liberal Americaniam. He! invited to Washington as his coun cillors and coadjutors hundreds of the moat prominent and pronounced republicans in the country. Yet the republican party in congress meanly requited the considerate courses of the chief magistrate by suvagely de- faming the commander-in-chief of | the army ang navy, and by aaeatling nearly every public officer of every branch of the service intimately con. cerned in winning the war, We express to the soldiers and | sailors of America the admiration of | thetr fellow countrymen. Guided by |the genius of such commanders as | Gen. John J. Pershing, the armed | forces of America constituted a de- cistve factor tn the victory, and/ brought new luster to the flag.

The treas- jury wisely insisted during the war | upon merting an adequate portioh of | the war expenditure from current | |taxes, and the bulk of the balance from popular loans, and, during the first full fiscal year after fighting stopped, upon meeting current ex penditures from current receipts. The nonpartisan federal reserve authorities have been wholly free of | political interference or motive, As A result of these sound policies, the Inevitable war inflation has been| held to a minimum and the cost of living has been prevented from in- creasing here in proportion to the im crease in other belligerent countries. | The credit of the government ot the United States stands unimpaired, and the federal reserve note ig the) unit of value thruout the world, We condemn the attempt of the re: | publican party to deprive the Ameri can people of their legitimate pride | jin the financing of the war—an| jachievement without parallel, In particular, we condemn the perni-| |elous attempt of the republiean par: | ty to create discontent among the St | economies THE SEATT NEY, ma NILSON ON holders of the bonds of the govern. ment TAX REVISION condemn the failure of the nt congress to respond to the oft-repeated demand of the president and the secretaries of the treasury to revine the existing tax laws, ‘The continuance in peace times of taxes devised under imperative necessity to produce revenue for war purposes ts indefengibie, The republican congress persist ently failed, thru abeer politieal cow ardice, toomake a single move toward & readjustment of tax laws which it denounced before the last election, and was afraid to revine before the} next election.
