The attempt to attach the provision for a league of nations to the treaty of peace would be to launch the nations who have been fighting Germany on @ sea of boundless discussion. It is our first duty and our highest duty to bring peace to the world at this moment and not encumber it by trying to provide against wars which never may be fought and against difficulties which le far aheal in a dim and unknown future. These questions ought none of them to be preased at this time; the making of peace with Germany and the settlement of the questions inseparably connected with it t* enough and more than enough for the pres- navies is a matter to be left whol to thoge nations which wish to league with each her as to thi and these imitations should be the corresponding relations that the governments of the large navies bear to each other | nd to the world guided by consi eration of how far navies are ensential auxiliaries and aids to commerce Instead of there being any provision to the general armies to be controlled by the league, I pro pone the following scheme: that if armies of any kind shall ever be found necessary and accepted by us as necessary, I would propose that when this tribunal has been created and any judgment reached on any controversy, I would leave it to that tribunal to decide in each case what kind of process or verdict would be fitting to the peculiar grievance before it wh it was adjudged, the popular opinion of the 1 with thelr representatives being a part of arate altog quentior her upon ss well an being as n tons the tribunal, would maintain it | ent without embarrassing it with questions which in- 1 would make no provision granting such a league | volve the settlement of the unknown, without the at- the power to maintain an international army to en-| tempt to deal with all possible questions that ever | 1 would vest it with the power of | invok to each judgment, as the particular cir cumstances may demand, a force which would. be sufficient in order to execute the Judgment.

To enter on these disputed fields which are not necessary to the making of peace with Germany seems to me perilous and more Wkely at this moment to lead to trouble and to a failure with the German peace and its associated questions than to anything eine.
