I'VE the delegates to the Mountain

of the hour.
''The armies Of Germany having been
repulsed, her fleet given up and all the
countries in arms against us and our
co-belligerents having surrendered at
discretion. 1t has become the duty of
the victorious democracies to arrange
the terms of peace and bring order
among the peoples disorganized by war,
so that peace, liberty and justice may
be established and maintained upon an
enduring foundation.
1--WE believe that this can be done by
means of a league of nations Of which
our nation Is an essential part. We
are convinced that the constitution or
covenant for such a league as recon-
mended by the league of nations com
mttce at the peace conference in Paris
rs well adapted for this purpose and
( that IN principle 1t should be accepted
by our people and ratified by the SEN
ate; and we do most heartily approve
of the establishment Of league of
nations"
