This must be stopped in its tracks. - The United States is already under suspicion as a nation which goes back on its promises. America refused to honor the signatures of her offi- cial representatives at the conference of Versailles. Without entering into the reasons for this refusal, the fact remains that the senate did refuse and be- cause of the refusal America everywhere lost enormous- ly in prestige. To refuse a second time to honor the signatures of our treaty-making ministers would cause others to brand the United States as an international joke and worse—as an irresponsible nation which doe8’ not know what it wants until it gets it, then won't have it—a nation with which no other country can do business. Particularly so, since it was this country which took it upon itself to invite the other nations to the party. Ridiculous question? Yes. Incomprehensible ques- tion? Quite. Humiliating question? Even so, The spectacle of wiggle and wobble presented by America’s representatives matching their wits with those of the diplomats of other lands is all that. But two facts must not be overlooked: First, had not the conference been called, there prob- ably would have been war in the Pacific within the next two or three years. That horror has at least been postponed and what is once postponed may never occur.’ Especially not if the Jap immigration matter is settled, Second, the Anglo-Japanese alliance has been put into the discard. The American delegation has been outplayed. All right. But something has been accomplished neverthe- less and notwithstanding. The senate must not now, in its blindness, rob the country and the world even of this little. AMERICA MUST EITHER RATIFY THE FOUR- y, OR PREP FOR INTERNA- TIONAL ISOLATION AND RACISM. ate today.
