have tgOt to have a world in which
that will be possible.
And if America does not enter
with all her soul INTO this new world
arrangement progressives might as
well go out of business, because there
is going TO be universal disorder, as
there is now universal unrest.
scores BOs ON Police.
"And if the oruur of Europe is
upset, do you think america is going
TO be quiet? Have you not been read
ing in the papers Of the intolerable
things that have just happened in Bos-
ton? When the police of a great city
walk out and leave that city to be
looted, they have committed an m
toierable crime against civilization.
And If that spirit is going to pre-
vail, where is your program? How
can YOU carry out q program when
every man is looking out for his own
selfish interests and refuses to be
bound by any law that regards the
interests of the other?
There will be no reform in this
world for a generation if the condi-
lions of the world are not now
brought to settled order. And they
cannot be brought to settled order
without the cooperation of America.
81 can tell you that the only people
they depend upon to bring the world
to settled conditions are the people
of America
Challenge To Conscience.
81 send that challenge out to the
conscience of every man in America,
that, if he knows anything of the con-
ditions of the world and really loves
Justice and purposes just reform, he
must support the treaty with Ger
N any
Il do not want to say that and have
it proved by tragedy For if this
treaty should be rejected, If 1t should
be impaired then amidst the tragedy
of the things that would follow, every
man would be convinced to the things
that | am now uttering.
There are q great many things
needing to be reformed in America
We are in danger at this present mo-
ment Of minorities trying to control
our affairs.
"If you think that you can afford
to live in chaotic world, then speak
words of encouragement to the men
who are opposing this treaty
Belong to World.
"But il you want to have your own
fortunes held steady realize that the
fortunes of the world must be held
steady; if you want to keep your own
BOYS at home after this terrible ex-
perience, you will see that boys else
where are kept at home. Because
America is not going to refuse, when
the other catastrophe comes again to
attempt to save the world. We wen
into this war promising every loving
heart in this country who had parted
with beloved youngster that we
were going to fight war which
would make that sacrifice unneces-
sary again.
"And so, because it is moral issue
because 1t is an isue in which is mixed
up every sort of interest in America
| am not in the least uneasy about the
result. There is only one conceivable
reason for not liking the treaty ana
to me, as an American, 1t is not a
conceivable reason, and that is thai
we should wish to do some nation
some great wrong.
Would Mean Resubmission.
"If the senate of the United states
passes. a resolution of ratification and
says that it ratifies on condition that
so and so and so would be understood
that will have to be resubmitted &c
every signatory of the treaty Ano
what graVes me is that it will have
to be submitted to the German assem-
bly, at Weimar. And that goes against
my digestion. We cannot honorablS
put anything in that treaty whicf
Germany has signed and ratified
without Germany's consent.
There isn't any phrase in the cove

legitimately be said to be of doubttu
meaning. But if the congress of th'
United States wants to state the mean

say to the other nations of the world
