iH COVENANTER LETTERS
THE AUTHORS:— WiIIiam H. Taft, ex-President of the
United States; George W. Wickersham, formerly U. S.
Attorney General; A. Lawrence Lowell, President Har
vard University; Henry W. Taft, of the New York Bar.
THE PURPOSE: — To discuss and make clear the various
articles of the Paris Covenant for a League of Nations,
now awaiting ratification by the United States Senate.
ARTICE VIII, Continued
Reciprocal Concessions
Under Article VII we covenant to
keep within the limits we agree to for
ten years, when the whole plan is sub
ject to revision—meantime, should
conditions change, the Council has
power to increase the limit for any
government needing it. More than
this, we can at any time withdraw
from all the obligations of the league
including this one, on two years’ no
tice.
It is to be noted that we agree to
limit our armament in consideration
of the fact that every other league
members makes a similar promise as
to its armament. Our reduction and
limit are to be proportionate to those
of other members. Their reduction
lessens the necessity for our defense
as does the compulsory reduction of
the armaments of our enemies in thi
war. We are not thus left “naked to
our enemies,” whether of this war
or any future war, in any other way
than that they are equally “naked”
to us.
Plea for Consistency
The necessity for reduction of ar
mament to avoid danger of war ha;
long been recognized and acquiesced
in by all nations except Germany. W
were among the most earnest in seek
ing a limit or reduction of armament
at the Hague Conferences but Ger
many peremptorily refused. Are w<
now to change our attitude on this
crucial question? Did we think that
in urging it at the Hague we were to
make ourselves “naked to our ene
mies,” by entering such an agree
ment? Were we only hypocrites wher
we pressed it upon the conferees a
the Hague?
If the great continental powers
of Europe and Asia, where the dan
ger of war is much more probable
than here, can afford to limit their
armaments by convention, can we not
do so, when the Atlantic separates
us from Europe and the Pacific from
Asia.
More than this, is there not a hu
morous phase of this objection wher
we consider the consistent course of
this country since the beginning oi
its history? In spite of the urging o f
Washington and many of his succes
sors, we never have had an adequate
armament until after war has come.
Not even for mere police duty have
we had a sufficient regular army in
time of peace. From soon after the
Civil War, until the Spanish War :
period of thirty years, with Indians
campaigns frequently recurring, for a
people increasing from fifty to ninety
millions, we had only 25,000 men in
our regular army—and since the
Spanish war, we have never been able
to increase that army from one
hundred thousand; while in all the de
tails of proper preparatory equipment
we were wanting
We can be sure, therefore, that the
Council will recommend a limit of ar
mament for us that congress ’.’’ill

Not Unconstitutional
But it is said that it is unconstitu
, tional for our treaty making power to
, agree to a limit of armament. The
. supreme court in many cases has de
cided that the treaty-making power
, conferred in the constitution is a
! very broad one, and that it includes
the making of contracts with other
. nations on any subject matter usually
within the scope of treaty-making
between nations, and that there are
no limitations on it except that a
treaty can not change our form of
government or cede land of one of
our states without its consent. Now
the limitations of armament has been
a very frequent subject matter dealt
with in treaties. Indeed every one rec
onizes that it is a most appropri
ate subject in this very treat;
of which the league is a part in re
spect to the fixing of the armament
of Germany. More than this, we have
a treaty with Great Britain for one
hundred years in which we agreed to
limit our armament, and we have re
ligiously kept it—in 1817, we mutu
ally Agreed with Great Britain not
to put a naval armament on the Great
Lakes between us and Canada, and
that treaty is still in force. It would
be difficult to imagine a more con
vincing precedent than this. In the
Clayton-Bulwer treaty of 1850, con
cerning the construction of a canal
in Central America from one ocean
to the other, we mutually agreed not
to fortify the canal when built. Our
pow’er to limit armament in a treaty
is thus indisputable in view of pre ;
cedent and judicial authority. Our j
duty by joining the family of civil- I
ized nations in such an agreement to I
put a stop to the awful race of ar- J
maments, if unrestrained, sure tc !
involve the world again in all its evils
is equally clear.

I January 9is the anniversary of the

try. It was made in Philadelphia

the rapid strides in aeronautics made
in the past few years. twenty
five years ago the idea of a dirigible
airship was largely a dream.
