Handing made a re­ markable address when the. league ct Nations'Covenaijjt waff reported to the senate by the foreign relations’ com mitten. It was, an unanswerable ap­ peal for the .preservation" of the na­ tionality of tiie American people.-^ In a safeguarded TJnltetf^States* Senator Harding not only saw .the welfare of ,our own country insured and. pro*' tebted, hut the host Interests of the world and of humanity guaranteed: ,The„address7 which was heard with profound attention, by a crowded sen Ate and greeted with sincere applause, bgKSfft with the thought that all Amer­ ica desired the furtherance of peace and a maintained tranquility for the world, The practical problem was, how to wisely bring this about. Anfariqa came out of the war in a magnificently advantageous, position. She had turned the scales and achiev­ ed victory1. Yet she ashed, not one iota_ of thq spoils .of war. Unfortun­ ately- this was not so with other na­ tions.’ Said4Senator Harding': - What Europe Asks. * Empires and sovereign states, auto­ cratic, imperial, or democratic, had. -fought ana.sacrificed and bargained and covenanted—and We had fought with them—and they Craved peace and we craved peace. Bui they wanted an­ nexations and extensions and eros­ ions, and they wanted this republic, with its respurces—its wealth of men add material—to guarantee the changes "they had- wrought, and want­ ed the United States of America in their unselfishness to guarantee in'per­ petuity the selfishness ' of the Old- World, ■ • They bad nothing to offer us bilt the .phantasmal thing, .taking the elusory shape'of the image of peace, a prom­ ise deeply appeaiing.to the aspirations of ourselves and- the world, for tran­ quility and the. banishment of—war. And we' bargained for it, and then they fashioned it into a reality, Suited to Serve Europe add the .Orient as the seal of righteousness on aU" to which the allied powers had agreed. * * * "■ 'Moral Obligations Sacred. •Wo have heard much lately about ^werel” -obligations, -When' a thing is covenanted It is difficult for me to distinguish between moral and legal -obligation. For this republic, either or both-ought to be solemnly binding. The nation which’ ignores either is losing the conscience'which Is essen­ tial tO;self-r 0 spdct' and respect among nations. It .was Germany’s contempt for a "scrap ot paper" that made her an outcast in the eyes of the civilized wbrid, * * * , .There lias been a curious conflict of meaning in the 'use ot the word "moral," When senators, speaking in this chamber in defense of the'league covenant found opposition developing' to the powers conveyed in article 10 , they hastened, to say the council's'call to War, armed or econ<}micriii defense of any member was not binding— "ofily a moral obligation.”. In the re­ corded conference between members of the foreign relations committee and: the president it was declared by the president that we were not bound to go to war on recommendation of the council, that there waff "only a moral obligation,” on which we should hgve to pass'Judgment for ourselves. Later on, in the record 6f the meeting, the president emphatically declared a moral obligation the most binding of J” Let evory man make the dfstinc- all. Hion that he prefers, a contract, is a ooctract, Ja covenant Is a covenant, and if this republic does not mean to do as it promises, it has nc business to make the promise. Requirements of Article X, There is no language in the cove- nant more plain than A,'icle 10. Either it means what it says, and ^obligates the nations to go to war in defense of a member nation, or it means nothing at ail. If it leaves any member nation free to exercise its own judgment as to (he merits of any attack, it does not guarantee the'ter­ ritorial integrity or peace of any na­ tion. It Is worse than phantom; it is the “hrtrage that lures nations thirst­ ing for peace to the Very desert of cruel "tleslruetiph. The pity of it is that no reservation will cure the 111.

Safety Should Begin at Home, Mr. President, t am not Insensible po the sufferings of Armenia, nor am I deaf to the wails forced by the cruel­ ties of barbarity wherever our ideals of civilization are not maintained. But l am thinking of America first. Safety* as well .as charity, begins at home. ‘ Selfishness? No, It is self- preservation. Measured as our resources are, large amour man power is, and chival­ rous as our. purpose way be, we ‘are not strong enough, tp assume sponsor­ ship for all the oppressed of the world.
