EL PASO HERALD 2 CUMMINS CHARGES WfLSDN LOS AMERICA'S FRIENDS ACROSS SE Attacking League, Senator Says Brilliant Eecord of TT. S. In War Forgotten In Storm of Protest That Followed President Returning Home; Those Hopeful of League Now Realize Some Provisions Mean War. WASHIXOTON, C. Sept.

IS. When president Wilson ended his work at the Paris peace conference, "the United States had not a friend in Europe, Asia or Africa and our brilliant service in the war was almost forgotten in the storm of pro-! rsts which followed him as he sailed or hone," senator Cummins. Republican, Iowa, declared today in an ad-ires the senate attacking: the eag-je of nations covenant. "The mly tMnc the president broaebt with him Tt1Ich iras Juy-tally reeeired In America by mui-tirsde of good mat or Cummins vatd, Miras coreaint for a league of nations and this only because these people loitered, many of tbem without In qnfry, that the league would bring pence to a war-weary world ana would maintain St In all the yeara to come. Gradually they are under tan dins; that there are some provisions In the covenant which must Inevitably provoke war.

Senator Cummins deplored the at-terar of senators to charge otl-er senators with opposing the treaty to accomplish thir political de signs, as well as efforts of the latter group to make it appear that those supporting the president were indifferent, if cot hostile, toward the vital concerns of their own country. AVar'a End Time for Bxlt. Senator Cummins contended that when the war was ended "our exit should have been as speedy and complete as possible." This did not mean, however, he added, that the United States should have abandoned its allies or made a separate peace with Germany, "but it does mean that it was not our duty to associate ourselves with foreign powers in reforming: the map of thew orld and in apreeinjr to maintain it as the victors had made it." Condemning- the disposition of Shantung, senator Cummins said be wanted to relieve the American republic "from the eternal odlnm of the Shantung crime" and "from the disgrace of passing- over Thrace to Bulgaria." There would be many Shantung, he said, and if the principal associated powers worked In harmony it would mean ilothing less than complete and arbitrary power of the world. As much as he deplored the wrong done China, he would adhere, lie said, to the principles he had pre- Priacher Baseball Fan Ass The Lord's Aid CINCINNATI, Sept. 2 S.

(Continued from page 1.) treatv is acted uoon 'I must know ther it means we have ratified It IRE LL-API 6 Bell-ans HotiWater Sure Relief FOR INDIGESTION the United States When the senate has acted it will be for me to determine whether its action constitutes an adopuon or a rejection.

AVHIIns: to Accept Paraphrases. The foregoing paragraph is the key to the next steps in the great controversy now going on in the senate.

Mr. Wilson serves notice that he has no objection to reservations -that are. as he says, "multiplication of words" by which "you can make simple words apeak their meaning more distinctly" but he most decidedly opposes "qualifications' which mean asking "special exemptions and privileges for the United States." In other word, tue president, while not saying It In ho many Yrordw, reveal that nh lie he Tronld be loath to 'abandon his original poffltlon in favor of an absolute acceptnnre of the treaty as slcned at I'arls, nevertheless sees that he esnnot very well object to reservations that are simply a paraphrase of his own statements or Interpretations In public speeches. Indeed, he practically accepts what formerly was the position of the mild reservation ists, though he thinks some of their suggestions are superfluous because already covered in the language of the treaty. It is when the mild reservation-ists appear to join the extremists in limiting the nature of America's obligation under the covenant that the president steps in and calls a halt.

x'copic in me senate may not think the president would dare to proclaim the rejection of the treaty, but he feels so Intensely on the subject that he will nn-qnestlonnbly do so If he thinks any reservations put Into the ratifying resolutions alter the mean tttK of the contract In the treaty. When the resident reminded his hearers at Denver that the power to neogtiate treaty rests with the ex ecutive, he was uttering a warning 10 me senate and to tne country as to the course which he would be com pelled to adopt if the senate changed me meaning 01 tne treaty. Confusion of Terms. There has been much ranfiiirinn ni-r tne use of the terms "ratification' and "adoption." As a matter of fact, the actual vote of the senate merely auopis a treaty ana it is diplomatic Srecedent for the president of the nited States to perform the act of ratiucation itself br formal notice to other powers or by proclamation. If he considers that the senate did not adopt, but apparently rejected the pact, he would then notify the other powers that the United States senate had "amended" the treaty and that he as as signatory thereto must reopen the negotiations with a view to obtaining the acceptance of amendments by all the other powers, and the president says this Includes Germany, too.

Senator A. B- Fall, of New Mexico, has argued that inasmuch as Germany ia not to be admitted Immediately to the league she cannot consistently be given a voice in the amending of the covenant. Mr Wilson, on the other hand, says that flermany subscribes to the cov enant in the sense that she is obliged to agree to the formation of the league as a means of executing various articles of the treaty itself, such as the Saare Basin and referendum votes on other questions. The line between clarifvlnr reser vations and destructive reservations is ceing drawn. Copyright 1919, El Paso Herald.

Reducing his fight for the peace treaty to direct Issue of acceptance or re jection, president Wilson Thursday Invited the senate to take a definite and unmistakable stand one way or ua otner. After it would be bis duty as chief executive to Judge whether the senate's action oon- sututea acceptance or rejection, should reservations be Incorporated in the ratification, the president added a warning that he did not consider "qualified adoption" as adoption in fact. He said, however, that he saw no objection to mere interpretations. Meanwhile white house officials in the presidential party permitted It to become known that the nronosed reservation which the president quoted at Salt Lake City and Cheyenne, ana which he announced he would regard as a rejection of the treaty, was one he had been informed was agreed on by several Republican senate leaders.
