The League 81 Nations was the prnc.
teal statesmnn's hope OF success In
many of the most difficult things he
was attempting"
Immediately after President Wilson
left the senate chamber Senator
Bornh udaho) introduced II resolution
asking the President Ia send to the
Senate, ~ not Incompatible with pun
lie Interest" letters and protests from
members Of the peace commission rel
ntive 10 S%hantung. The resolution
asks particularly for a letter Of pro
test alleged 10 have been written TO
the President by Gen Tnsker II. Bliss
on behalf OF hlmseif, Secretary Ian
sing and Henry White Of the peace
commission.
fhe President also Is asked to sub
init any memoranda available which
would Indicate that Japan attempted
to cOerce Chinese delegates In the

White House, Indicated that he was
extremely gratified that the treaty Of
peace had been ratified 80 promptly
by the German national assembly. The

trade relations between Germany and
the associated nations should be re-
sumed at the earliest moment posi-
BILE, for without trade Germany could
not be met the Preparations demanded
OF her.
II was made clear that the Presl-
dent felt troops should he maintained
In Germany until the Germans had
compiled with all the military terms
Of the treaty. . Il was pointed out that
there were several million veteran sol
dlers In Germany and munitions suf-
ficlent for them TO operate.
The Germans have from one TO four
months IN which TO deliver all mate
rial except that sufficient for the re
duced Germany army provided for In
the peace treaty, and the President
believes American troops should stay
N the Rhine until the material Is de-
livered.
Discussing the peace negotiations at
Paris, President Wilson let Il be
known that the League Of Nations COW
enant Will be Ia every treaty nego-
tiated at Versailles, including that
with Bulgaria, with which country the
United States never was at war.
The President made II clear that
rehabilitation OF the American army
would depend upon the speed with
which the military conditions Of the
peace treaty were executed by Ger
many and the treaty was ratified by
the various governments.
In response to questions regarding
the Flume situation, the President
pointed out that the treaty of London
provided that FIume was to 40 to
Croatia and that Italy did not lay
claim to the city when that treaty was
signed.
Mr.. Wilson feels that the United
states must play n generous part In
nc reconstruction of Europe, but he
believes this should be accomplished
by establishing some sound basis Of
credit rather than by direct govern
ment hid.
President Wilson IL understood 10
take the position that a two.thlrds
majority will be required 10 adopt any
Senate reservations I'm ratlfying the
peace treaty. The Impression of op-
position leaders In the Senate has
been that only u simple majority
would be required.
President Wilson plans TO submit 10
the Senate only the'treaty containing
the covenant of the League OF Ma.
lions. The proposed supplementary
treaty under which the United States
would ngree TO go 10 the aid of France
IN case of I'M unproyoked assault ON
that country by Germany will be pre-
scented separately at n later date. Mr.
Wilson Is preparing n separate nd
dress ia the Senate explaining this
agreement.
Mr.. Wilson'S purpose TO present IN,
peace treaty and the agreement with
France separately was disclosed ut d
conference with press representatives
II was Indicated that his time thus fal
had been devoted entirely to preparing
his address on the treaty with Ger
many and that opportunity had beer
lacking 10 complete a similar explain
alton OF the proposed pact with France
MIR, Wilson let II he known TO thu
correspondents that the treaty will
France was designed for the protec
ton OF France until such time as thll
special guarantee would no longer b,
needed because OF the protection TO b.
afforded all nations by the League o
4, Nations.
Mr.. Wilson has the impression tina
the French people would be cut 10 tn
heart n the United States should fai
TO approve the special treaty. II
does not believe there would be an,
difficulty In recognizing such an nc
