But they came away with something new at their hearts; they have them- “selves told us so.

WANTS TROOPS ON THE RHINE Time | WASHINGTON, July 10.—Before going to the Senate to-day President Wilson conferred with newspaper correspondents at the White House. Hb indicated that he was gratified that the Treaty of Peace had been ratified so promptly by the German National Assembly. ‘The President aiso indicated that he felt trade relations between Germany and the Associated Nations should be | resumed at the earliest moment pos- stble for without trade Germany could not meét the reparations de- manded of her. It wae made clear that he felt troops should be maintained in Germany until the Germans had complied with all the military terms of the treaty. It was Pointed out that there were sev- eral million veteran soldiers in Germany and munitions suffi- cient for them to operate, The Germans have from one to four months in which to deliver all material except that sufficient for the reduced German army provided for in the peace treaty and the President believes Amer- jean troops should stay on the Rhine until the material is deliv- ered. ‘ Discussing the peace negotiations at Paria, President Wilson ‘let it be known that the League of Nations covenant will be in every treaty no- gotiated at Versaiiles, inctuding that with Bulgaria, with which country the United States never was at .war, The President made it clear that demobilization’ of the Ameri can Army would depend upon the speed with which the military conditions of the joe Treaty were uted by Germany and the treaty was ratified by the various Governments. It was learned that the Presi- | | great enterprises of liberty sprang op- portunities to attempt what states- men had never found the way before te do—an opportunity to throw safe- guards about the rights of racial, na- tfonal and religious minorities by sclemn international covenant; an op- portunity to limit and regulate mill- tary establishments where they were most likely to be mischievous; an op- portunity to effect a complete and systematic internationalization of waterways and railways which were necessary to the free economic life of more than one nation and to clear many of the normal channels of com- merce of unfair obstructions of law or of privilege; and the very welcome opportungty to secure for labor the concerted protection of definite inter- national pledges of principle and practice.” PEACE CONFERENCE DIDN'T GO OUT OF ITS WAY. “These were not tasks which the conference looked about it to find and went out of its way to perform. ‘They were inseparable from the set- tlements of peace. They were thrust upon it by circumstances which could not be overlooked. The war had created them. In all quarters of the world old established relationships had been disturbed or broken and af- fairs were at loose ends, needing to be mended or united again, but could not be made what they were bdfore, “They had to be set right by apply- ing some uniform principles of Justice or enlightened expediency. And they could not be adjust&d by merely pre- scribing in a treaty what should be done. New states were to be set up which could not hope to live through their first period of weakness without assured support by the great nations that had consented to thelr creation and won for them thelr independence. Il governed colonies could not be put in the hands of Governments which were to act as trustees for thoir people and not as their masters if there was to be no common authority among the nations to which they were to be responsible in tha execu- tion of their trust.

Mr. Wilson has the impression that the French people would be cut to the heart if the United States should fail to approve the special treaty. He does not believe there would be any difficulty in recogniz. ing such an act of aggression by Germany as would necessitate Amer- ican ald to France under the pact. President Wilson is understood to take the position that a two- thirds majority will be required to adopt any Senate reservations in ratifying the Peace + saty, The impression of opposition leaders in the Senate has been that only a simple majority would be required. In response to questions regarding the Fiume eituation, the President pointed out that the Treaty of Lon- don provided that Fiume was to go to Croatia and that Italy did not lay claim to the city when that Treaty was sige he Mr. Wilson feels that the United States must play @ generous part in the reconstruction of Europe, but ho believes this should be accom. plished by establishing some sound basis of credit rather than by direct government ald. and which contemplated a final do- termination of its political connec- tions by popular vote to be taken at a distant date; no free city like Dantzig could be created which was, under elaborate international guarantees, to accept exceptional obligations with regard to the use of its port and cx- ceptional relations with a state of which tt was not to form a part; properly safeguarded plebiscites could not be provided for where populations were at some future date to make choice what sovereignty they would live under} no certain and uniform method of arbitration could be se- cured for the seiuement of antici- pated difficulties of final decision with regard to matters dealt with in the treaty itself; the long-continued supervision of the task of reparation which Germany was to undertake to complete within the next generation might entirely break down; the te- consideration and revision of admin- istrative arrangements and restric- tiong whitch the treaty prescribed ‘but which was recognized might not prove of lasting advantage or entirely fair is too long to enforce would be impracticable. ‘The promises Governments were making to one another about the way in which labor was to be dealt with, by law not only but in fact as well, would remain a mere human thesis if there was to be common tribunal of opinion and judgment to which Wberal statesmen could resort for the influences which alone might secure their redemption. A League of Free Nations had become a practical necessity, Examine the Treaty of Peace and you will find that every- where throughout {ts manifold pro- visions its framers have felt obliged to turn to the League of Nations as an indispensable instrumentality for the maintenance of the new order it has been their purpose to set up tn the worll—the world of civilized men, NECESSITY OF LEAGUE OF NA- TIONS EARLY RECOGNIZED, “That there should be a Leajue of Nations to steady the counsels and maintain the peace- ful understandings of the world, to make, not treaties alone, but the accepted principles of inter- national law as well, the actual rule of conduct among the Gov- ernments of the world, had beon one of the agreements accepted from the first as the basis of peace with the Central Powers, tical men long experienced in fiom day io dey Sei oboe alate o coe evide “The statesmen of all the belliger- ent countries were agreed that such a league must be created to sustain the settlements that were to be ef- fected. But at first I think there was a feeling among some of them that, while it must be’ attempted, the for- mation of such a league was perhaps a counsel of perfection which prac- the world of affairs must agree to very cautiously and with many misgivings; it was only the difficult work of ar- ranging an all but universal adjust- ment of the’ world's affairs advanced wk ees seoking would be something written upon paper to be interpreted and applied by such methods as the chances of politics | drawn from. all quart might make available if they did not provifle @ means of common counsel which all were obliged to accept, a common authority whose. decision only as the 5 She was glad to share wit would be recognized as decision which all must respect. “And so the most practical, the most sceptical among them turned more and more to the league as the au- thority through which international action was to be secured, the au- thority without which, as they had| come to see it, it would be difficult [to give assured effect éither to this treaty or to any other international ‘Understanding upon which they were to depend for the maintenance of) peace, The fact that the covenant of the league was the first substantive part of the treaty to be worked out and agreed upon, while all elfe was: in solution, helped to make the for- mulation of the rest easier. The con- ference was, after all, not to be eph- emeral, “The concert of nations was to continud, under a definite covenant which had been upon and‘ which all were convinted was work-, |able. They could go forward with confidence to make arrangements in- tended to be permanent. The most practical of the conferees were at lust the most ready to refer to the League of Nations the superintend- ence of all interests which did not; | admit of immediate determination, of | jal administrative problems which were to require a continuing over- |night what had seemed a counsel of perfection had come to seem a plain counsel of necessity. The League of Nations was the pragtical states- | man's hope of success’ in many of the most dificult things he was at- tempting. “And it had validated itself in the thought of every member of the con- ference as something much bigger, muoh greater, every way than a mere instrument for carrying out the pro- visions of a particular treaty. It was universally recognized that all the peoples of the world demanded of the | Conference that jt should create such 4 continuing concert of free nations as would make wars of aggression and spoliation such as this that has just ended, forever impossible. A cry hed gone out from every home in every stricken land from which sons and brothers and fathers had gone forth to the great sacrifice that such " sacrifice should never again be ex- a It was manifest why it had been exacted. It had been exacted Le- ‘cause one nation desired dominion and other nations had known no means of defense except armaments and alliances. War had lain at the’ heart of every arrangement of the Burope—of every arrangement of the ‘world—that preceded the war. Rest- ive peoples had been told that fleets and armies, which they toiled to sus- tain, meant peace: and they now know that they had been lied to; that fleets and armies had been main- tained to promote national ambitions and meant war. They knew that no old policy meant anything else but force, force—always force, And they knew that it was intolerable. Every true heart in the world, and every en- lightened judgment demanded that at atever cost of independent action, every government that took thought for its people or for justice or for ordered freedom should lend itself to @ new purpose and utterly destroy the old order of international politics. “Statesmen might see difficulties, tut the people could see none and could brook no denial. A war in which they had been bled white to beat the terror that lay concealed in every balance of power must not end In a victory of arms and a new balance, The monster that bad resorted to arms must be put in chains that could not be broken. The united power of free nations must put a stop to aggression, and the world must be given peace. Te there was not the will or the intel- ligence’ to accomplish that now, there ‘must be another and a final war and the world must be swept clean of every power that could renew the terror. “The League of Nations was not merely an instrument to adjust and remedy old wrongs under a new treaty of peace; it was the only hope for mankind. Again and again had the demon of war been gast out of the house of the peoples and the housé swept clean by a treaty of peaco, only to prepare a time when he would en- ter in again with spirits worse than himself. “The house must now be given a tenant who could hold it against all such. Convenient, indeed Indispensa- ble, as statesmen found the newly planned League of Nations to be for the execution of present plans of peace and reparation, they saw it In & new aspect before their work was finished. ‘They saw it as the main object of the peace, as the only thin that could complete it or make 1 worth while, They saw it as the hope of the world, and that hope they did not dare to disappoint, Shall we or any other free people hesitate to ac- cept this great duty? Dare we reject it, and break the heart of the world? COMPROMISE NECESSARY TO) REACH ANY AGREEMENT, | “And so the result of the conference | of peace, so far as Germany is con- | cerned, stands complete, The dificul- ties. encountered were very many. Sometimes they seemed insuperable, It was impossible to accommodate the interests of so great a body. of nations interests which directly or indirectly affected almost every nation in the world—without many minor compro- mises, The treaty, a8 a result, is not | exactly what we would have written. It is probably not what any one of the national delegations would have writ- ten, But results were worked out which on the whole bear tes. “I think that it will be found that the compromises which were acoept- ed ag inevitable nowhere cut to the heart of any principle. The work of the conference squares, as a whole, with the principles agreed upon as the basis of the Peace as well as with the practical possibilities of the international situations which, had to be faced and dealt with as facts, “I shall presently have occasion to lay before you a special treaty with France, whose object is the temporary protection of France from unprovcked aggression by the power with whom Shis treaty of peace has been negoti- ated, Its terme link it with this treaty. I take the liberty, however, of reserving it for special explanation on another occasion.” ROLE OF AMERICANS WAS DE- TERMINED iN ADVANCE. “The role which America was to ft WITH WILSON’S SPE! in sar‘: (CROWDS JAM THE CAPITOL IN EFFORT TO SEE WILSON: %, but | Unable to Gain Admission to the Building, Aged to them that what they were | play in the Conference seemed deter. little more than| Mined, as I have said, before my col. oe, 4 | leagues and 1 got to Paris—deter- mined by the universal expectations of the nations whore, tne lobe we were rosea! with, ‘Galen ers~ ally reoognl that ca hud en- tered the war to pro ng Priva’ or peculiar interest oe eee ow!

AMERICA REACHES HER MA- JORITY AS A WORLD POWER. “America may be said to have just reached her majority as a world power, It was almost exactly twenty- one years ago that the results of the war with Spain put us unexpectedly in possession of rich tslands on the other side of the world and brought us into association with other gov- ernments in the control of the West Indies, It was regarded as a sinister and ominous thing by the statesmen of more than one Buropean chan- cellery that we should have extendod our power beyond the confines of our continental dominions. They were ac- customed to think of new neighbors as a new menace, of rivals as watch- ful_enemies.” “Theré were persons among us at home who looked with deep dis- approval and avowed anxiety on such extensions of our national av- thority over distant islands and over peoples ‘who they feared we might exploit, not serve and assist. But we have not exploited them. “We have been their friends and have sought to serve them. And our dominion has been a menace to no other nation. We redeemed our honor to the utmost in our dealings with Cuba, She is weak but absolutely free; and it her trust in us that makes her free. Weak people every: where stand ready to give us any thority among them that /will as- sure them a like friendly oversight and direction, They know that there is no ground for fear tn receiving us as their mentors and guides, Our isolation was ended twenty years ago; and now fear of us is ended also, our counsel and association sought after and desired. There can be no question of our ceasing to be a world power. The only question is whether we can refuse the moral leadership that is offered us, whether we shall accept or reject the con- fidence of the world. “The war and the conference of peace now sitting in Paris seem to me to have answered that question. Our participation In the war estabHshed our position among the nations and nothing but our own ken action can alter &. It or a matter of suddi are no longer isolated and devoted to a policy which has only our own in- terest and advantage for its object. It was our duty to go in, if we were in- deed the champions of liberty and of right. We answered to the call of duty in a way so spirited, so utterly without thought of what we spent of blood or treasure, 80 effective, so! worthy of the admiration of true men eve ere, So wrought out of the stuff of all that was herote, that the whole world saw at last, in the flesh, in noble action, a great ideal asserted and vindicated, by a nation they had deemed material and now found to be compact of the spiritual forces that must free men of every nation from every unworthy bondage. It is thus that a new role and a new responsi- bility have come to this great nation that we honor and which we would all wish to lift to yet higher levels of ser- vice and achievement. “The estate is set, the destiny dis- closed, It has come about by no plan of our conceiving, but by the hand of God, who led us into this way. We cannot turn back. Wecan only go forward, with lifted eyes and freshened spirit to follow the vision. It was of this that dreamed at our birth. America shall in truth show the way.

WASHINGTON, July 10.—Follow- ing the Presndent’s speech, Senator Lodge moved that the treaty be re- ferred to the Foretgn Relations Com- mittee, which was done, He then asked that 50,000 copies of it be print- ed in French and English with all the detailed maps which appear in the official copy. : Senator Pittman, Nevada, sug- gested that the same number of cop- jes of the President's address be printed and this was agreed to along with Senator Lodge's.motion. It was then discovered that the law limits appropriations for such printing to $500. The committee on printing therefore was hastily called and was expected at once to authorize the printing of the 60,000 copies.
