It is a narrow-minded state- manship which would endaager the go- ing into effect of the treaty by chang- ing its provisions, and thereby post- poning the return of peace. It cannot comprehend how any man with a true appreeciation of the situaticn much less one who shares the respounsibility, can permit any objection, less thana the im- pairment cos the natural' sovereignty of the United States, to weigh ag:.inst the universal prayer of tae nation for the restoration of peace. Let the (reaty be immediately ratified, and 12t us go for- ward with the great task whaich lies before us. The worll deriancs it pa- triotism demands it, common sens: de- lmands it.
