LAINLY the revised covenant of the League of Nations is felt by Senator Lodge d Republican attitude, With Senator Curtis of Kansas the Senator from Ma effers the following telegraphic advice to all Republican “We suggest that Republican Senators reserve final expression of opinion respecting ,the amended League cove nant until the latest draft has been carefully studied and until there has been an opportunity for conference.” Study and conference, be it understood, that will prevent any emsiderable part of the Republican membership of the to necessitate @ revis achusetts nators: Senate from committing itself too far to a self-destructive policy of obstinate, | partisan hostility toward a League of Nations covenant some credit} fur which it fears may still accrue to President Wilson. Senator Borah’s ewift denunciation of the revised covenant has evidently filled Republican leaders with alarm lest there come pell- mell from Republican lips too many words that will have to be caten later. From another Republican quarter arrives, as was to be expected, etrong indorsement of the amended and clarified covenant. President Taft is quoted as declaring that so far as obje earlier text were worthy of consideration: Former | tions to the} “The draft now made public contains everything calcu- lated to meet those objections.” Mr. Taft may not be invited to advise and consult with the Republican Senators, Nevertheless the conclusion arrived at by ao majority of the Republican Senators is likely to be indistinguishable from Mr. Taft’s conclusion. One thing has been made clear to Republicans in the Sonate @ince they tried to turn the first draft of the League of Nations to party account: No considerable number of Americans can be per- suaded to put on party spectacles when they look at the League. Senators who persist too far in so doing are running a serious risk. If Article X. of the covenant continues a hard-worked Repub- Yiean objection to the League there still remains for that Article an ‘equally strong defense which is also Republican. Mr. Taft long since “pointed out that, whenever it may become a question of calling upon the United States to help “preserve against external aggression the territorial integrity and existing political independence” of other members of the League: “The question as to whether the United States shall declare ‘war and what forces it shall furnish are remitted to the vol- untary action of the Congress of the United States under the Constitution, having regard for a fair division between all the nations of the burden to be borne under the League and the proper means (to be employed) 1d - “This is as it should be, It fixes the obligation of action fm such a way that American nations will attend to America, Huropean nations will attend to Europe, and Asiatic nations to Asia.” i Republican critics of the covenant who still harp on the menace bo this Nation’s sovercignty are referred back to that broad and at we game time thoroughly common-sense interpretation of the League wkich the country owes also to Mr. Taft: “The covenant takes away the sovereignty of the United States only as any contract curtails the freedom of action of } an individual which he has voluntarily surrendered for the pur- Pose of the contract and to obtain the benefit of it. The covenant creates no super-sovereignty. It merely creates | contract obligations, It binds nations to stand together to secure compliance with those contracts, That is all. This is not different from a contract that we make with ono nation.” / It is timely to recall Mr. Taft's consistent defense of the League because, so far as the League of Nations is an issue, Senatorial leaders oi the Republican Party, no matter how bitterly they feel toward anything that bears the faintest Wilson imprint, have now got to gome speedily around to Mr, Taft's Republicanism or seriously eom- promise their party’s future. Es ‘The revised covenant offers them an opportunity to shift to the safe course. But even in the eyes of those of their own political faith, theirs is net the strong present position of William Howard Taft, who had his bearings from the first. po In passing the ordinance legalizing Sunday baseball in the City of New York, the Board of Aldermen had the good sense to put in a provision prohibiting the baseball managers from charging more for admission on Sundays than on week days, Proving that every now and then even the much-abused Board of Aldermen opens its eyes to some good it can do and does it. ANDERSONISM. ILLIAM H. ANDERSON, Superintendent of ‘the Anti Saloon League in this State, is looking aliead, His new organization, the Allied Citizens of America, fs not only to fight for the enforcement of the National Prohibition ‘Amendment, but is to take unto itself functions “broad enough uiti- mately to afford the means through which the people of each eom- munity may deal with any issue involving vindication of Ameri eanisin.” Americanism, that is, as defined, interpreted and enforved by William H. Anderson on the well known Andersonian lines. : Any fanatical minority with a yearning to regulate the conduct tf all the people of the United States by its own particular standards hereby notified that Anderson is the man to see. Tf there is enough power and despotic imposition in the special} “indication” proposed he will set to work to put it over That is Andersonism, the most pernicious profession this country thes ever developed to its incalculable cost. : Wednesday, EDITORIAL PAGE April 30, 1919 Weighed in the Balance . ease saa Sagew Be Ooprrieht, 1919. by the Prews Publi ing Co, New York Evening World.)
