(By The Associated Press
Paris, June 27.-The sojourn of
President Wilson in Europe will come
to an end tomorrow when he starts
homeward Immediately following the
signing of the peace treaty, All ar
rangements for his departure have
been completed and the special par
lament train viii leave at $3.50 Sat
urday evening. 1t will arrive at
Brest on Sunday morning, where the
president will board the steamship
George Washington, which sails
about noon.
On his arrival in the United
States, President Wilson will go
straight to Washington to lay before
congress the results of the peace
conference He will leave soon at
terward for an extended tour of the
country for the purpose Of explain
ing directly to the people all ques-
tions relating to the peace treaty
and the league of antlons covenant.
Is Well Satisfied.
The president goes back to the Uni
ted States more than satisfied, his
friends say, with the net results OF
conference and, all things considered,
it is his opinion that the conference
has been a wonderful success. While
it is regarded as a. dssadvantageous
for many, yet against this it is held
that Germany committed great
wrong, and quite naturally and inevi-
tably must make just reparation for
that wrong. But outside of German
results, the conference is viewed in
presidential quarters as liberating
peoples who never had a chance of
liberty, such as Polang, Jugo- Slavia
and Czecho- Slovakia. Also the con-
ference is credited with banding to-
gether the people of the world to
make the peace regime enduring.
Other large results, it was pointed
out, are the giving of a charter to
labor, removing restrictions on in
ternational intercourse and many
other international results which can
be summed up "a colossal business
such as the world never dreamed of
before"
Ratification Necessary Immediately.
The peace treaty and the league of
nations covenant should be ratified
without amendment according to the
presidential view, for definite rea-
sons, namely: that if any one power
seeks to make amendments then the
war will not be over until every one
of the Fl associated nations learns the
results of the amendments. This can
only be done through processes of
negotiation, and it is held that it
would be a hopeless process of delay
in restoring peace. It is also held
that the effect of the amendments
would be to keep the United States
out of the treaty and out of the
league. :.
The question has arisen whether
reservations amount to amendment,
and presidential quarters are under
stood to hold that reservations, such
as the proposed Root reservation to
article ten of the covenant are equi-
valent to amendment.
Fall Would Ally U. S. With Huns.
Feeling is said to be particularly
strong in presidential quarters against
the resolution of Senator Fall of New
Mexico to declare a state of peace
with Germany, which is characterized
in these responsible quarters as hav-
ing the effect Of allying the United
States with Germany and placing
the country in position of contempt
that no nation ever suffered. 1t is
the presidents belief according to
reliable sources, that not more than
a handful of people in America will
approve such resolution.
The length of the peace conference
| is regarded. it is said as beneficial
on the whole. as the long discussion
brought about fuller understanding
among the nations there is special
pride in the fact that the views of
the American experts usually pre-
vailed, probably because the United
States had no selfish interests in
volved in the difficult questions set
tied. It is also held that sinister in
fluences played comparatively little
or no part in the results of the con.
| ference.
| Ia Points Upheld in Main.
Concerning the mandate or the Uni
ted States in Turkey. the president
is known to hold that he had no right
to make any promise and that the
most he could do was to present the
| people at home.
Concerning Mexico, and Costa RIGA
not being in the league of nations
the presidential view, is said to b.
