VOLUME3 - G CASPER, wa MONDAY, SEPT. 8, 1919 TAKE TREATY OR LEAVE IT. SAYS WILSON Reservations Impossible and Not Needed, Declares President in First Answer to Arguments of Reservationists; Only Way to Change Would Be Thru Powers Shantung Provision War with the Great (By Associnted Press.) OMAHA, Sept. 8.—Discussing forthe first time during his speak- ing tour the proposed reservations to the League of Nations, President Wilson replied in an address here today to the arguments advanced by those who favor reservations. ‘4s an assent with a big ‘but.’ We > agree— ‘But The proposed reservation provid-|— ing for unconditional withdrawal from membership, said the president, meant that its sponsors wented to “sit near the door with their hand on the knobs,” and if they saw any- thing they did not like, to “scuttle and run,” The league provision that internat-! ional obligutions must be fulfilled be- fore withdrawalj never would re- strain the United States, he :s cause this nation would always live up to its provisions. ‘Those who wanted a reservation to! Article X, Wilson continued, simply cid not want te come in now but) wanted to be “late joiners.” The reservation regarding the Monroe Doctrine, he added, was un- hecessary because the doctrine had been “swallowed, hook, line and kinker,” by the peace conference and had been eathenticated by the big powers of the world for the first time. There was no trick about it, he usserted, for the document was the work of “honest ‘men.” As far as the reservation about domestic questions is concerned, he declared, it would be work of super- erogation, “We did not ask Germany con- sent about the meaning of any one vf those terms when we were in Paris,” he said. “We told them what they meant and said, ‘sign here.’ Does any patriotic American \want that method changed?” if reservations were put in, “Wil- son told them, all that the senate | had written in would have to go back for the consent of Germany. He added that there were indications thet those on the other side of the water are not in as good humor as they had been. The only way the Shantung pro- vision could be bettered, Wilson de-! clared, would be to go to war with Japan, England and France. He told the crowd that the nation could not “sign all but a part of a treaty.” “We cannot rewrite this treaty said he. ‘We must take it or leave it.” He said he believed that the treaty should be accepted soon, but added: “But no man can tell how long it will take the United States to do anything.” The president said he had heard of some men who wanted the United States to stand alone for “armed pen-Americanism,” but he did not believe the people would accept it. He paid a tribute to Senator Hitch- cock, Democratic leader of the treaty fight, whose home is in Omaha. He “had been proud to stand by Sena- tor Hitchcock,” he said, in the fight. Quoting article X. of the league) covenant, Wilson said anyone who) understands English language must admit that when it said the league id, be-} “A reservation,” said the president, fan could “advise” it meant “advise” and not compel. He characterized the leafue as the “only possible guaran- tee against war,” and said that he would feel recreant to those who fought the war if he did not secure its adoption. | TREATY IS GREAT CHARTER OF LIBERTY (By United Pre OMAHA, Sept. 8.—Pres fdent Wil- son spoke today in en auditorium packed to the roof. Exhibiting the bulky white volume containing the treaty he said: jof human liberty.’ He emphasized that the treaty set- tled Europe’s land titles, declaring | that “this feature would prevent the racial irritations that lead to war.” | Opponents have concentrated their attacks on a few points, ignoring the | more important ones, he stated. There was silenc that Germany must be treated justly and be admitted to the gue even- tually. A hearty cheer arose when he also suid that Germany must pay ,for the wrong it did. | President Wilson said there was no need for: reservations to the treaty. The Monroe Doctrinc, he de clared, is “authenticate in the treaty by all the great nations. ; He wanted to know if advocates of the reservation for quick with- | drewal from the league are such “poor patriots’ they thought the ' United States would not fulfill its in- ternational obligations. The reservation to exempt domes- tic questions from the league would be superfluous, he declared, as th treaty does not interfere with do- mestic matters. The president's next stop will be Sioux Falls tonight, and then the , Twin cities tomorrow. President Wil }son professes confidence in a victory for the treaty and the league. He is in Republican see now but apparently his welcome has been | just as warm. “Many Republi et included on welcoming committees |The president’s speeches have been {extemperaneous so far. They were never prepared or given out in ad } vance. Lord Beresford Dies Suddenly (By United Press) LONDON, Sept. 8.—Admiral Lord |Charles Beresford died here of apo- Hexy Sunday night.
