TAFT SEES LITTIE
HARM IN THIRTEEN
j OF RESERVATIONS
j
Calls Fourteenth Too Drastic
for Other Powers to
Accept.
By tin* AnnoriKted 1*rc?s.
NEW YOltK, November 8.?Thirteen
: out of the fourteen reservations lo the
; I'eace treaty proposed by the Senate
orelgn relations committee do not af
ect materially the value of the cov
riant and probably would be accented
: by the other powers, in the opinion of
; former President Taft exp/essed in a
? 'Pocii today before the League for
; I olitiC'il Education. Tiie fourteen.h
j reservation. proposed by Senator itee.I
of Missouri, is so drastic, Mr. Taft
leci. ied, tnat it is l:; ,o sible of ac
; ce; i 'nee by other nations.
;-eiiu.oi itoeu's proposal was inter
i . leieii by the to. iner President as
i.eaniiiK: "J am (jlad to join your
?eai,ue if you are bound by i. miJ I
uiii noi. i shall be ^iad to ;;et ail the
beiiollt out 01 it so Ion . an It does not
require n e to Uo anything." The ies
jervution ileoliret taut the United
will not be bound by any ti .es
loti th.,1 involves its vital interest or
uunor oubiuitteU to the le*0ue or its
riounais oi an international ciiaracier.
Hopts for Agreement.
After an analysis of the other res
ervations, which, he said, would be
equally effective, if couched "in a
more courteous, more diplomatic and
irss offensive tone," Air. Taft referreu
to the report that President Wilson
would refuse to submit the reserva
tions to the other powers if they
were adopted.
"I sincerely hope," he said, "that
the democratic minority in the Sen
ate and the President will not take
any such view and that if they have
been so inclined they will change
their minds. The treaty will hav?.
enormous vaiue with the qualifica
tions thus proposed. It will be a grca.
slip forward. It won't accomplish
the millennium. It will not aooiisii
war. The machinery of it will not
work without considerable creaking.
It will doubtless fail in some cases
where its framera hoped it might be
| very effective. But tne inestimable
| benefit of Retting the nations together
; in a league and inspiring them to
use the public opinion of the world
to promote justice in the world and
to use such machinery as the league
.urnishes for that purpose ought to
make us willing to pay such a price
as these reservations are to set the
,'eague going."
Discusses Article X.
Mr. Taft dealt at length with the
much-discussid reservat.on on arti
cle X. which declares that the United
States assumes no obligation to em
; ploy its military or naval forces in
foreign affairs unless Congress so
!? authorizes by Joint resolution. He
11 said that It was "perfectly manifest
;! that the friends of the treaty cannot
I (get sixty-four votes for the treaty
II unless they aonsent to some such
|. reservation as this." He urged the
; democratic senators to accept the pro
; vision because "If we cannot get a
whole loaf we ought to take part of
j it." As far as the efTect of the reser
1 vation is concerned, the former Presi
dent maintained that:
"The words of this reservation. In
so far as they afreet the obligation of
the United States to furnish military
or naval forces under any article, are
not important, for no such positive
obligation is created by any other
j article."
Believes Others Will Accept.
j Iti respect to the possibility of the
I other nations accepting the reserva
tion, Mr. Taft expressed the belief
that they would be willing to do so.
"They know us," he said. "They re
alize that we are in a Way the spoiled
child of the world in our enormous
(prosperity and our immunity from the
? danger that European countries have.
They know we are not aggressive and
ambitions for further territory.
They know that we are much more
likely to be stirred by moral obliga
tion to act for the world when danger
threatens than we are to subscribe to
legal obligations in advance."
In conclusion. Mr. Tait asserted
that once the league was in opera
tion the Vobjections to It would be
found to have been based on "most
unfair and improbable hypotheses."
He predicted that the nations would
perceive "most emphatically its use
fulness and will be anxious to render
it more effective."

crats?Bankhead, Heckman, Martin,
Ransdell, Simmons and Stanley.
Senator Nelson's Proposal.
During the fight to alter the reser
vation Senator Nelson proposed that
a Joint resolution Instead of a con
; ourrent resolution be stipulated for
notice of withdrawal, so that the
! signature of the President would be
j required. He declared "intense par
: tisan-ship" had twisted the language
! of the reservation so as "to put a
; Blight on President Wilson while he
is on a sick bed. brought down by his
. hard work to re-establish peace."
j Republican Leader Lodge retorted
I that no "motive of hostility" had in
fluenced the forming of the reserva
tion. .Should the provision ever be
invoked, he said, it was apt to be a
republican and not a democratic
President whose power was curtailed.
Senators Nelson and McCumber. alone
on the repulican side, voted for the
motion and it was defeated 46 to 39.
Motions Voted Down.
Senator Walsh, democrat, Montana,
then proposed to strike out entirely
the congressional authorization. His
motion was beaten 49 to 37. A simi
lar motion previously by Senator
Thomas, democrat. Colorado, was
withdrawn, Mr. Thomas saying he
was sure It would fall.
A motion by Senator Gore to em
power either the President or Con
gress to glre notice of withdrawal
was voted down 68 to IS, gaining
scattered support from both sides of
the chamber. Senator King demo
crat. Utah, moved to make the provi
sion relative to judging obligations
applicable to all the league members,
but that was beaten 52 to 30.
Senators in Spirited Colloquy.
Charges of partisanship frequent*
ly were exchanged during the day of
debate, which preceded the roll call.
Senator Lenroot, republican, Wiscon
sin, another of the mild reservatlon
ists, making a pointed denial that the
republicans had played politics. He
said he understood forty democrats
were ready to shape their attitude on
the treaty by direction of the White
House. Democratic Leader Hitchcock
replied that It would be just as true
to say that forty-nine republicans
were shaping their action to suit a
republican leader.
"Does the senator mean to Bay"
asked Senator Lenroot, "that a large
number of senators on that aide of
the alale are not waiting to do what
the President asks them to doT"
*1 deny it." retorted Senator Hitch
ty
cock. "That Ism* ku not been raUed
and it won't be raised."
Crux of Tight Beached.
Yesterday's voting brought the
Senate to the crux of the whole reser
vation flght. the question of qualify
ing article X of the covenant. The
committee's reservation of the sub
ject. virtually Identical with one
which the President had said he would
re card as a rejection of the treaty,
will come up Monday.
Throughout the day the "Irrecon
c'lable" republican foes of the treaty,
whose attitude has caused much
speculation among party leaders, held
conferences over chancres they will
propose to article X. They did not I
make known their decision, but tho I
republican managers asserted confl- |
dence that opposition to the commlt
| tee ilraft would not be carried to the
po.nt of voting against the reserva
tion. should It come to a roll call
unamended.
