Once or twice in meetingsof the

nude by the representatives of in
dividual powers, and these "reser

for business and not for talk always

There can be no. objection to ex
plaining again what our constitution.,
a! method is, and that our congress
alone can declare war or determine
the causes or occasions for war, and
that it alone can authorize the use
of armed forces of the Unitd,States

"It must not be forgotten senator,
that this article constitutes a renun
ciation of wrong ambition on the
part of powerful nations with whom
we were associated in the war. It
is by no means certain that without
this article any. such renunciation
will taCe place. Militaristic ambi
tions and imperialistic policies are
by no means dead even in the coun
sels of the nations whom we most
trust and with whom we most desire
to be, associated in the tasks of
peace Throughout the sessions of
the conference in rans, it was evi
dent that a militaristic party, under
the most influential leadership, was
seeking io gain ascciwancy in
counsels of France. Tney were de
feated then, but are in control now.
The chief arguments ' advanced in
Paris in support of the Italian claims
on the Adriatic were strategic ar
guments, that is to say, military ar-v
guments, which had at their back
the thought of naval supremacy in-
that sea. ror my own .pan, i am
as intolerant ot imperialistic- ae-
signs on the part of other nations
as I was of such designs on the part
of Germany. , r-
Choice Between Two Ideals.'
The choice is between two ideals:
On the one hand, the ideal of dem
ocracy1 which represents the rights
of iree peoples everywhere to gov
ern themselves and on the other
hand, the ideal of imperialism which
seeks to dominate by force and un
just power, an ideal which is by no
means dead and which is earnestly
held in many quarters still. Every
imperialistic influence in Europe
was hostile to the embodiment of
article ten in the covenant and its
defeat now would mark complete
consummation of their efforts to
nullify the treaty. I hold the doc
trine of article ten to be the essence
of Americanism. We cannot repu
diate it or weaken it without repu
tffaringvour own principles.
The imperialist wants no league
of nations, but, if in response to
the universal cry of the masses
everywhere, there is to be one he
is interested to secure one suited to
his own purposes, one that will per
mit him to continue, the historic
game of pawn ar4 peoples the jug
gling of , provinces, the old balance
of power, and the inevitable wars
attendant upon these things. The

however, has learned how to leave
the table in a happy frame of mind

And whether it was rich soup, pas

venture to take part in reviving the
old order? The enemies of a league
of nations have by aytfry true in
stinct centered their efforts against
article ten, for it is undoubtedly the
foundation of the whole structure.
It is the, bulwark, and the only bul
wark of the rising democMcy-of die

ialism and reaction.
. All Way or Not at AIL
Either we should enter the league
fearlessly. acceDtine the responsibil
ity and not fearing the role of lead
ership which we now enjoy, con
tributing our. efforts toward estab
lishing a just and permanent peace,
or we should retire as gracetuiiy
as possible from the great -concert
of cowers br which the world was
saved. For my part, I am not willing
to trust to the council of diplomats

of the world from which it has silf-

lerea.
r I believe that when, the full sigr
nificance of this great question nas
been generally comprehended, ob
stacles will seem insignificant be
fore the opportunity, a great and
glorious opportunity to contribute
our overwhelming moral and mater
ial force to the establishment ot an
international regime in which our
own ideals and right may be made
to prevail and the nations of the
world be allowed a peaceful de
velopment under conditions of order
and safety hitherto impossible.
Reservation's, Nullify.
I need not say tha't I have given
a great deal of thought to the whole
matter of reservations proposed in
connection , with the ratification of
the treaty, and particularly that por
tion of the treaty which contains the
covenant or the league of nations,
and I have been struck by the fact
that practically every so-called res
ervation i was in effect a rather
sweoing" nullification of the terms 1
of the treaty. I hear of reserva
tionists and mild reservationists, but
I cannot understand , the difference
between a nullifier and a mild nulli
fier. Our responsibility as a nation
in this turning point is an over
whelming one, and if-1 had the op
portumty I would beg everyone
concerned to consider the matter in
the light of. wjat it is possible to
accomplish for humanity ' rather
than in the light of special national
interests.
If I have-' been truly informed
concerning the desire ot some oi

Borah of Idaho, "the president
Stands pa,t. The letter seems to me
to be a very proneunced statement
in favor of his position that he will
reject the treaty it it is changed in
any respect. He even rejects mild
reservations. The president makes
the issue a league or no league which
is in the form I would like it.
Senator' McCormick of Illinois
said: "The president is logical. He
joins the issue upon straight ratifica
tion withiut any reservations which
reserve. He Stands by his Jackson
Day letter and plainly characterizes
the mud reservationists as mud nullifies.'-
I hope we may have done
with the refinement ot verbal dis.
tinctions and go to a vote."
The "mild" reservationists resent
ed their characterization by the pres.
ident as "mild nullifiers" and Sena

their spokesmen, declared . that he
would never vote for such a propo.
sition as article 10.
"I do not believe the people of
this country desire to be bound to

of every country. in the world or to

so," he said. -

' Advodates His Nomination
. , t
Famous General Embodies All That Voters of United
V States Jow Demand in Their president Broad
Vision, Firm Determination and Compelling
Personality."
Lincoln, Neb., March 8.--II. H.
Wilson, widely known Nebraska
lawyer and member of the law firm
of Burkett. Wilson & Brown of this
city, has issued a letteV advocating
the nomination of Gen, John J.
Pershing by the national republican
convention.
Mr. Wilson was an instructor of
law at the University of Nebraska
when General Pershing;, . then com-
manaani at mar institution, was
taking the law course there. He
knows General Pershing well, ad
mires him greatly, and believes he is
thoroughly equipped by natural en
dowment, Dy trainme and ' oy ex
perience top the presidency.
Jn'tiis letter Mr. Wilson sas: ' ,
"In the earlier davs of the reoub
lie the president of the United
States was regarded principally as
the chief executive of the nation.
I he last, few decades have wit
nessed a radical change in our con
ceptions of the duty of a president.

Chief Legislative Factor.
"To this function tf .giving infor
mation and recommending meas
ures the constitution also'adds the
tunction of approving ors vetoing
measures passed by the congress. In
our later development the people
have learned to look primarily to
the president as the chief factor in
national legislation. While the con
gressmen are -elected by districts
and the senators by states, the
president is elected by the nation,
and all parts of the country feel that
they have had a greater and more
direct influence in the election of the
president than in the .choice of
either the senate or the house. This
doubtless accounts for the modem
tendency of the people to look to
the president -for the enactment of
laws as welt as for their execution.
This added duty of the president re
quires the exercise of greater power
and demands peculiar qualifications.
"The people of America now de
mand in a" president broad vision,
clear thinking, firm determination
and a compelling personality. The
ideal president is one capable of de
vising ways and means to carry out
me will of the people: capable of
estimating men at theifctrue worth,
surrounding- himself, by those who
are capable of giving the. best sup
port, and possessing such a com
pelling, personality as to lead others
to accept his point of view.
, P'oved Himself Capable.
"General Pershing has-had an ex
tensive and varied career, and has
proved himself capable and worthy
in every situation in which he has
been placed. The organization of a
great army on foreign soil, more
than 3,000 miles from its base of
supply, was a task no other general
has ever been called upon to ner
form. The organization, enuioment
and . pnysical maintenance of the
American army under these circum
stances was clearly the largest busi
ness enterprise that Ameria has ever
entered upon. -No American aren
eral ever was criven so extensive au
thority or evcrcised powers so varied
and extensive. The supreme success
cf this, the greatest of America's
business enterprises, is now known
to all the world.
"In the progress of the war Gen
eral Pershing was called upon to
meet and solve some of the most
difficult and embarrassing diplomatic
questions America has ever had to
face. While America lagged far be-
hand in the production of aircraft,
ft -is noteworthy that General Per
shing by iis diplomacy assembled
at. St. Mihie! the greatest air force
ever assembled on the face of the
earth under1 a single command. At,
a time when 60 per cent of our men
were going overseas in English
ships, England and France both de
manded that enly infantry and ma-
me gunners should be transported.
and these to renew the 'wasting
ranks of bur allies; and this plan
was in the war council approved by
the premiers and commanders of all
the allies. In tace ot this unanimous
military and civil opinion of our al
lies General Pershing announced the
formation of the American army
and, frankly told the council tjiat it
wonld be an American army that
would win the war. To stand sin
gle-handed and alone for the organic
ration of an independent American
army, against the combined judg
ment of, the premiers and all ine
other commanders,-at a time when
60rper cent of- that army must be
transported m vessels other than
American, required moral- courage
of the highest type. To bring the
others to his viewpoint i a meas-yl
ure cf the -compelling power of his
personality.
Wisdom of Decisions.
"None would jiow be more ready
to approve the wisdom of that de
cision tharf those who there so bit
terly opposed, it. It was General
Pershing who first urged the neces
sity of a unified military command,

Nebraska '
and again later it was General
Pershing who first urged -the neces
sity of unity behind the lines in the
purchase and disposition of -stopr
plies. ' In both these respects he
brought others to his viewpoint and
proved the wisdom of his decision.
"Of his success as a military com
mander one need hardly speak, as
it is now a part of the worlds his
tory. It was, however, he who
sensed the change that was ap
proaching from a war of position to
a war of movement, and it was he
who directed' the training of the
American forces for a warfare of
movement, that movement to be an
offensive one. How thoroughly he
succeeded in imparting his- own en
thusiasm to his vast army: how
completely he imbued their minds
with his tvHI to win,' is measured
by the fact that while your armies
lost but about 3,500 prisoners, they
toblc more than 6J.000."
Best Business Man.
"This is possible only to an armv
loyal to. their leader and imbued
with his willr The great accomplish
ments of the American army in the
field was possible only because their
commander had the bower of ac
curately estimating the availablity of
his subordinates ' and surrounded
himself with the best the American
army could supply.
"I am, therefore, for General Per
shing for president. First; because
he is clearly America's most success
ful business man, having successfully
developed and conducted America's
reatest business enterprise. Second:
- am for. him because he has
shown nis ability to bring other great
men to. his own viewpoint when a
great crisis was impending and has
displayed in many difficult situations
the highest qualities of diplomacy.
Third: I am for him because it would
be valuable to have, as commander-
in-chief of the American army and
navy,. One who Knows what an fcrmy
means and, who could be trusted to
preserve American rights on land
and sea. In my opinion General
Pershing at this moment- possesses
more of the qualities that make a
great president and has had greater
experience in the exercise of these
great qualities than any other living
American. The best is none too good
when we come to choose a president i
pf O.OOO.OOO1 people."

cat Federal Employes.

Federal employes, yesterday scdrcd
action last week of the lower house
of Congress in eliminating from trie
legislative appropriation bill the
$240 bonus for federal employes,
which has been in effect since last
July. -
Abolishing of the bonus would
force many of Ihe 1,500 Omaha fed
eral employes to resign and seek

being paid," he said, "to all classes
of feaeral wwrkerr, excepting post
office employes. Laborers, stenog
raphers, clerks and all other lower
salaried employes were getting it. -If
the bonus is take away, salaries
of many of them will drop as low as
$70 a month, which, under present
conditions, is obviously insufficient

Omaha Postal Clerks' local. No. 134,
