 Washington, June 2S.-President Will son, in an address to the American peo- pie on the occasion of the signing of the peace treaty. made a plea for the acceptance of the treaty and the covenant of the league of nations with out change or reservation. His message, given out here by Secretary Tumulty, said:
 My Fellow Countrymen: The treaty of peace has been signed. If 1t is rati- fled and acted upon in full and sincere execution of it's terms. it will furnish the charter for a new order of affairs in the world.
 "It is severe treaty in the duties and penalties it imposes upon Germany, but it is severe only because great wrongs done by Germany are co be righted and repaired. It imposes nothing that Germany cannot do, and she can regain her rightful standing in the world by the prompt and honorable full fillment of its terms.
 And it is much more than a treaty of peace with Germany. It liberates peoples who have never before been able to find the way to liberty. It ends once for all an old and intolerable order under which small groups of selfish
 
 empires to serve their ambition for power and dominion.
 Tt associates the free governments of the world in a permanent league. in which they Aare pledged to use their power to maintain peace by maintain ing right and justice. It makes inter- national law reality, supported by imperative sanctions.
 "It does away with the right of con- quest and rejects the policy of annex tion and substitutes new order under which backward nations-population which have not yet come to political consciousness and peoples who are ready for independence, but not yet quite prepared to dispense with pro- lection and guidance-shall no more be sub jected to the domination and ex- ploitation of a stronger nation, but shall be put under the friendly direc- tion and afforded the helpful assistance

 Some members of Congress and oth- CTS who are watching the Irish ques- tion were particularly attracted to that portion of the Presidents address in which he referred to Peoples who are ready for independence, but not yet quite prepared to dispense with pro- tection and guidance" and that the treaty recognizes the inalienable rights of nationality"
 No one here ventured to interpret what was in the Presidents mind when he wrote those passages, but they were scanned with much interest.
 Although there was considerable com ment on the Presidents address in pri- vate talk among senators. few made any expressions for publication.
 Senator Knox, republican of Pennsyl- vania. and former Secretary of States. who opposes the league covenant, de- clined to talk.
 Senator Hitchcock declared tho ~ad- dress as a great announcement an elo- quent appeal. and inspiring prophecy for the future."
