tical statssman's hope Of success In
many Of the most difficult things he
was attempting"
Immediately after President Wilson
left the Senate chamber Senator
Borah (Idaho) introduced a resolution
asking the Prssident to send to the
Senate, "if not Incompatible with pub.
lie interest,"" letters and protests from
members Of the peace commission rel
ativs to Shantung. The resolution
asks particularly for letter Of pro-
test alleged to have been written to
the President by Gen. Tasker H. Bliss
on behalf Of himself, Secretary Ian.
sing and Henry White Of the peace
commission.
The Presldent also Ia asked to sub
mit any memoranda available which
would indicate that Japan attempted
to coerce Chinese delegates In the
Shantung matter.
President Wilson, comforting with
newspaper correspondents at the
White House, indicated that he was
extremely gratified that the treaty OF
peace had been ratified NO promptly
by the German national assembly. The
President also indicated that he felt
trade relations between Germany and
the associated nations should be re-
sumed ut the earliest moment possi-
BILE. for without trade Germany could
not be met the reparatiOns demanded
OF her.
1t was made clear that the Presi-
dent felt troops should be maintained
In Germany until the Germans had
complied with all the military terms
Of the treaty. 1t was pointed out that
there were several million veteran SOL
diers In Germany and munitions suf-
ficient for them to operate.
The Germans have from one to four
months In which to deliver all nate
rial except that sufficient for the re-
duced Germany army provided for In
the peace treaty, and the President
believes American troops should stay
on the Rhine until the material is de-
livered.
Discussing the peace negotiations ut
Paris, President Wilson let 1t be
known that the League Of Nations COW
enant will be In every treaty negO-
tiated ut Versailles, including that
with Bulgaria, with which country the
United States never was ut war.
The President made II clear that
rehabilitation OF the American army
would depend upon the speed with
which the military conditions Of the
peace treaty were executed by Ger.
many and the treaty was ratified by
the various governments.
In response to questions regarding
the Fiume situation, the President
pointed out that the treaty Of London
provided that Fiume was to 20 ia
Croatia and that Italy did not lny
claim to the city when that treaty was
signed.
Mr.. Wilson feels that the United
States must play a generous part In
the reconstruction OF Europe. but he
believes this should be accomplished
by establishing some sound basis of
credit rather than by direct govern.
ment aid.
President Wilson IL understood Ia
take the position that n two thirds
majority will be- required to adopt any
Senate reservations In ratifying the
peace treaty. The impression Of Op.
position leaders In the Senate has
been that only II simple mn njOrity
would be required.
President Wilson plans to submit Ia
tho Senate only the treaty containing
the covenant OF the League Of M.
tlons. The proposed supplementary
treaty under which the United States
would agree to 20 to the aid Of France
In case Of an unprovoketl assault on
that country by Germany will be pre-
sented separately Mt II later date. Mr.
Wilson In preparing n separate nd
dress to the Senate explaining this
agreement.
Mr.. Wilson's purpose to present ihs
peace treaty and the agreement with
France separately wSs disclosed at Il
conference with press representatives
II was Indicated that his time thus fai
had been devoted entirely to preparing
hls address on the treaty with Ger,
many and that opportunity had beer
lacking to complete similar explain
alton Of the proposed pact with France
Mr.. Wilson let II bs known to the
correspondents that the treaty with
France waS designed for the protec
tiOn OF France until such time M thil
special guarantee would no longer bt
needed bacause OF the protection to bs
afforded all nations by the League oi
Nations.
Mr.. Wilson hns the Impression tina
the French people would be cut 10 ths
heart II the United States should fsi
to approve the special treaty. IL
does not believe there would be any
difficulty In recognising such an Hc
of aggression by Germany NM wOult
necessitste American aid to Francs
under the pact.
