usn;
IT 10 very inspiring TO stand Ia ths
{oftscnce Of so great a company Of
Iay fellow citizens and have the priv
iltse OF performing the duty that
have come TO perform. That duty Il
% report to my fellow citizens con-
cerplnE the work OF the Peace Com
,fStence. and every day Il seems "a
SSne, 10 become more necessary 10 re-
sort because so many people, who
saEe. talking about II don't understand
Mhat II was.
zsfI came back fro.n Paris bringing
.sgnaiof the greatest documents OF hu-
1Enan history. (Apphuse). One OF
thn things that made IL great was
9nat u was penetrated throughout
with the principles TO witch America
hea devoted her life. Let me hasten
snksay that one OF the most delightful
eetreumstances OF the work on tho
peber side ef the water was that 1
discovered that what we called Amer
ttrnn principles had penetrated TO tho
stInsrt and to the understanding, not
sally Of the great peoples Of Europe.
,1ni, 10 the hearts and Understandings
uasahe great men who were represent
dfps the people sof Europe.
"wheh tneso principles were writ
ston into this treaty they were written
saAero by common consent and COM
mos conviction. but Il remains true.
.nwertheless. my fellow citizens. that
lay,sncipiea are written into that treaty
whicn were never written ,into any
.arsat international understanding be-
eira, and that. they have their nat
17hal birth and origin in this dear
tnnntry 70 which We have devoted
sahn,i and service, and II you viii
bhaar with mecI win remind you OF
aeone OF the things that we have long
i1tsstrcd and which arc at last accom-
51ntshed IN this treaty.
~ think thht l can say that one Of
,ofsthe things that America has had
u1Set 1T heart throughout her AK
fiience has been that there should
~. substituted for the brutal pro-
cesses OF war the friendly processes
REORGANIZATION and arbitration. and
thft rs done in the covenant Of the
,1saguS of Nations.
so.T am very anxious that my fellow
ngaolxens should realize that that is
nc chlef topic of the covenant OF the
,Saaague of Nations. The greater part
rDr fts provisions, the whole intent
sf6d purpose Of the document, are
expressed in provisions by which all
aang, member states agree that they
t9lE never go TO war without first
tRl,ng done one or other OF two
sfhingH, either submit the matter In
Snnutfoyersy 10 arbitration. IN. which
.3n16e they agree TO abide by. the ver-
Net or submit Il 90 discussion In the
aeDncil OF tho League OF Nations,
Hash for that purpose they consent TO
allow six months for the discussion,
and whetaer they like the opinion ek-
pressed or not. that they will not go
1HQtar for three months after that
AoIhion has been expressed.
$50 that you have. whether you get
,eFhltration or not nine months dis
cpssion. and / want 10 remind you,
TINT q the central principle OF some
thirty treaties entered into between
- pnited States OF America and
nSupe thirty other sovereign nations,
ulsvof which are confirmed by the
senate OF the URited States.
fbkATIEs WITH ALL NATIONS
..u..o, BUT GERMANY.
,bls'We keTe such an agreement with
Ffancee we have such an agreement
VIA Great Britain; we have such an
teemont with practically ovory
pa1pht nation except Germany. which
refused 10 enter into such an agree
sssent, because. my fellow oltiEens,
lqlelApanyr knew that she intended
Rething that didn't bear discus
slon and thai n she had submitted
tii9 purpose which led TO. this war
% 80 much as one months discus
eiQp she never would have dared
gepinis. The enterprise against man
lad, WlIach ,she finally did go into.
sand therefore, say that this prin-
e1pai Of discussion Is the principle al
kedy adopted by American. And what
kfhe compulsion 10 do this? The com
plislon Is this. that II any member
n4ta violates that promise 10 submit
either u arbitration or discussion, II Is
,enetpDy 'ipso facto deemed 10 have
nne'itmitted an act OF war against all
lAD-'fest.
''Then you viii ask, do We at once
lake up arms and fight thsm2
kc. We do something very much
.r3oRe Terrible than that. We absolute
,lyffeOycott them, IL is provided In
Ih9t Instrument that there shall be
~ oSoofnmunication even between them
d the rest OF the world. They shall
1eeive 90 goods; they shall ship nc
VEends; they shall receive no tcie-
graphic messages; they shall send
Bh; they shall receive no mall. No
mail win be received from them.
The nationals. the citizens OF the
Tsember states. will never enter theh
territory until the matter IL adjusted
and thsir cltigens can not leave thoil
territory. The most complete hoy
colt ever conceived In a public docu'
ment.
