POINTS ALLIANCE TERILS Senator Sees Significance in Europe's Opposition to Its Doctrines. Bptriat to Tns Scn and Ntir Vobk Hibald. Washington, April 20. Characteriz ing Washington's Farewell Adress as a "Decalogue of Americanism," Senator Albert J. Bevcrldga declared at the tomb of the first President at Mount Vernon to-day that publishers of school books should be required by law to print tho document In every school reader, history una ffeoprapiiy mat Is Issued, "If our children nro brought up In the faith that Washington proclaimed," said Senator Iiovcrldge, "no further effort or cxpondlturo will bo necessary to 'Ameri canize' America and keep It American ized. Tho Constitution Itself was the child of compromise, but the Farewell Address was tho fruit of unprecedented and unparalleled unity of deliberate thought and unshakable conviction among men of tho first order of Intellect and character. So well did Washing ton's plan work out 'that until recently no American ever so much as thought of departing from it. On tho contrary, for eign Governments steadily objected to it. From tho very first they wished, quite as much as they do to-day, to draw Amer ica into alien brawls and Intrigues. "In view of tho century long success of tho policy so patiently worked out nnd carefully framed by the ablest statesmen of history, tho burden of proof that we should now repudiate that Poller Is on those who tironose to ru- pudlato It. "Only one basic argument Is made for such repudiation. It In that'our one tra ditional policy 'Isjlates' us from the re mainder of the world ; that invention has so annihilated distance that oceans no longer protect us ; that business has so Interwoven our destiny 'With that of for plgn lands that we can no longer remain nloor, and that wo have now become, in practical effect, a physical part of Eu rope and Asia. "Vet wo have novcr been isolated commercially, financially or socially. Wo have been Isolated only in the po litical sense only In the senso that we havo kept our hands oft the political anairs or other countries and com pelted foreign governments to keep their lianas ore our political affairs. If wo did not hnve Just such political 'isola' tlon' ns this there Is no sacrifice we would not mal;o to get it. If any for eign nation couiu securo precisely the political 'Isolation' American enjoys mere is no sacrlllce that nation would not malto to achieve that blessing. "Our political isolation, Instead of bo Ing a hindrance, is a priceless alvan tago to American business, since Inter national politics and trade do not mix. If a nation la so situated ns to bo able to keep out of tho political nntagonlsms of other governments It is plain that It Is in n better position to deal commer cially with nil countiies. Alliances arc madi) for political and not commercial reasons. All countries which have made alliances thoroughly understand this fact. But wo, who never made an alliance slnco Washington's day. do not Know it, so well. "It Is our geographical situation on the globo that makes It possible for Us to keep ourselves free and clean of po litical embroilments and ancient feuds of other lands. Nothing can change that situation to our disadvantage. In deed, It was far easier to send a fleet against us and land an invading force on our shores in Washington's time than it Is now, slnco to-day to cables would give us notice the moment a hostile ex pedition started, whereas a century ago warships and troops could be in our harbors befwe wo could know fney were coming. "Invention has strengthened the ocean defences with -which nature pro vided us. Wo have more submarine bases than, any three nations In tho world combined, and our underseaa craft could destroy any belligerent forco sent against us. A sufficient num ber of defensive submarines, as part of an adequate navy, could make impossi ble the landing of foreign troops upon American soil. "Our situation is unlike that of any other nation. It Is absplutely unique. Amorlca could not possibly sain any thing, and surely would lose much, by any alllanco whatever, Just, as actually happened In Washington's time, where as other parties to an alliance with America could not possibly lose any thing and surely would gain much by such an arrangement. It la, therefore, only natural that roreign governments should seeR' polit ical partnership with America, but would any of them do so if condltlo'ns were reversed If that foreign nation were in America's placo and America were in the placo of that foreign nation? Wash ington merely declared a historic truth whn he said that 'it Is folly In one na tion to look for disinterested favors from another.' Has human nature sud denly become tho reverso of what it has been throughout history? , "It Is Bald that duty abroad may call ua out of our political 'Isolation' and that wo should discharge our duty, re gardless of our Interests. It la Amer ica's peculiar glory that sho has always done that very thing. America nlwaj'B has performed each task that Involved duty, no matter what tho sacrifice of life and treasure, and she has done so without being, forced or held back by alliances of any kind. 'Docs any consideration whatever re qulro ua to mako an International con tract without knowing what If means? What, for example, Is tho moaning of tho International schemo called the cove nant of' tho League of Jfntlc-ns? Is there any agreement among ourselves ns to Its purport? Havo wo nny assuranco that other nations concur as to its interpreta tion? If honest differences of Judgment do cxlBt or nro possible concerning tho obligations It Imposes on member na tions, who a to decide? What power will construe that document which high official authority has correctly desig nated as a' 'world constitution'? i "Elthor each member nation must do cldo for Itself what the' covenant means, or elso tho Central League Govern ment must docldo for all member na tions what the covenant meana If tho former Is eo, then It Is certain that mem ber nations will be In perpetual dispute, since wo, ourselves, hotly and sincerely differ among ourselves as to what tho covenant means. If the Central League Government through any of Its branches court, council or assembly Is to In terpret and onforco the covenent, then tho league la a superstate and America will be as subordinate to It as our States aro"to our nation."

Hear Ad miral Sims "strained a point to mako a case against the navy" when ho charged that Its failure to cooperato fully with tho Allies during' the first fow months of American participation In tho war postponed victory four months, Capt. Pratt, war time assistant chief of opera tions, declared to-day before tho Senate Commltteo Investigating the Slms Danlels' row. Pratt said that most of the "lessons" In Sims' letter to Secretary Daniels en titled "some naval lessons of tho world war," were not lessons, but criticisms. "None of these criticisms Is construc tive," ho declared, adding that only one charge made by Sims could properly be considered grave. That, ho said, was tho assertion that falluro of tho navy to throw lta full weight Into tho struggle from the start cost $15,000,000,000 and 500,000 lives. "Whnt does Admiral Sims mean?'1 the witness aaked. "Can we, a nation at peace, no. matter what our Inclinations may bo, perform overt acts of prepara tion wnicn aro oniy jusiuicu na acts of war?

Pratt told tho commlttoo that during tho early part of the war only nine or ten anti-submarine craft were kept at homo to protect the Atlantic coast, while during the samo period tho British Ad miralty kept 111 destroyers with the grand fleet and entirely out of anti-sub.

Tho witness said the navy Had pre pared many war plan?, but that none fitted tho peculiar conditions brought about by the submarine warfare, nnd new ones could not be made until Ad miral Sims could get In touch with the Admiralties and find out tho real needs of the Allies, There were delays and mistakes made by tho Navy Department, tho witness asserted, hut tho heads of the naval establishment had no misconception of the United States' nilgilon nnd never lacked willingness to fully cooperate with the Allies.
