which any nation ought to be prouc to carry, Any who may resist the present tides that run in the world will find himself thrown upon a shore so high and barren that it will seem as if he had been separated from his human kind forever.
 The Europe that 1 left the other day was full of something that it had never felt fill it's heart so full be- fore. It was full Of hope. The Eu rope of the second year of the war, the Europe of the third year of the war. was sinking to sort of stub- born desperation. They did not see any great thing to be achieved even when the war should be won. They hoped there would be some salvage :; they hoped that they could clear their territories of invading armies; they hoped they could set up their homes and start their industries afresh. But they thought it would simply De the resumption of the old life that Europe had led-led in fear, led in anxiety, led in constant suspicious, watohful-
 
 would be a Europe of settled peace and of justified hope
 People Are Confident.
 And now these ideals have wrought this new magic, that all the peoples of Europe are buoyed up and confi- dent in the spirit of hope, because they believe that We are at the eve of a new age in the world when na- tions will understand one another, when nations will support one an- other in every just cause, when na- tions will unite every moral and ov- cry physical strength to see that the right shall prevail
 If America were at this junction 10 fail the world. what would come of it l do not mean any disrespect to any other great people when l say that America is the hope of the world; and if she does not justify that hope the results are unthinkable Men will be thrown back upon the bitterness of disappointment not only, but the bitterness of despair. All nations will be set up as hostile camps again; the men at the peace confer ence will go home with their heads upon their breasts, knowing that they have failed-for they were bidden not did something more than sign a treaty of peace.
 Must Support Treaty.
 Suppose we sign the treaty of peace and that it is the most satisfa ctory treaty of peace that the confusing elements of the modern world will af- ford and go home and think about our labors; we will know that we have left written upon the historic table at Versailles, upon which Yer. gennes and Benjamin Franklin wrote their names, nothing but modern scrap of paper; no nations united to defend it; no great forces combined to make it good, no assurance given to the down-trodden and fearful peO- pie of the world that they shall be safe.
 Any man who thinks that America will take part in giving the world any such rebuff and disappointment as that does not know America.
 I invite him to test the sentiments of the nation.

 Ut is a fine thing to be home again." MT. Wilson said. "The thing. that has pleased me most in my con- tact with the peoples of Europe is that they trust the people of America and all I have to say is that if Amer ica disappoints them the hearts of the world will be broken"
