Text of Presidents Speech to Senators

WASHINGTON, Aug. d9.-lm opening
his conference with the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee to-day President
Wilson read the following prepared
speech:
Mr.. Chairman: | am sincerely
glad that the committee should have
responded in this way to my init.
nation that I would like to be of SER
vice to it. l welcome the opportunity
for frank and full interchange of
views.
hope too that this conference
will serve to expedite your consider
alton of the treaty of peace. beg
that you will pardon and indulge me
if | again urge that practically the
whole task of bringing the country
back to normal conditions of life and
industry waits on the decision of the
Senate with regasd to the terms of
the peace.
| venture thus again to urge my
advice that the action of the Sen
ate with regard to the treaty be
taken at the earliest practicable mo-
ment, because the problems with
which we are face to face in the re-
adjustment of our national life are
of the most pressing and critical
character, will require for their prop.
cr solution the most intimate and
d'sinterested cooperation of all par
ties and all interests and cannot be
postponed without manifest peril to
our people and to all the national
advantages we hold most dear May
| mention few Of the matters which
cannot be handled with intelligence
until the country knows the character
OF the peace it is to have? | do so

there were not something rotten and dan
gerous in the State system that fears 1t.
Bolshevism and the like have no terrors
for any form of Government that is really
even handed and just in its institutions
and its operations. Let us aim whole
heartedly at securing the good Of all alike,
and at making 'Ententes' international,
then we can afford to let even the most
foolish opinions be free.

ain reply TO your letter OF the lst April,
T am of opinion that every means should
be taken to strengthen the Intellectual En-
tente between the United States and
Great Britain. A great deal is already
done in the matter Of books, and hope
that as the theatre improves as much will
be done for the theatre as IS done for
books. To my mind the very best way to
strengthen the bond between two countries
is to encourage travel. Seeing is believ-
ing. If as many Britons would go to
America as Americans come to Britain
immense good would be accomplished.

Some Walter Pater Prose

Sketches and RerieTS. by Walter Pater.
They are nine fugitive pieces from vari-
Gus magazines. The first one, Kstketie
Poesry, is in Pater's best manner. Will
lam Morris is his springbOard. 1t is a
short history of 'the reign Of reverie' in
poetry. 1t is the poetry of the inner re-
treats, where are builded earthly para
discs and where the world of the aesthetic
sleepwalker is more real than the outer
universe. 1t is a compound of Hellenism
and Christianity-"beau quiekened by
the sense of death" This essay is by far
the best in the book
There are two articles on Gustave Flau-
bert, and here pOntiff mods to pontiff. 1t
was only natural that Pater should feel
an affinity with the French master, and
one cannot help feeling that Pater was
what Flaubert dreamed of being. Chris
tianity never seems to have touched
Pater; while Flaubert was always wres-
Ting with the demons Of theology.
The other essays are on COleridge,
Wordsworth, George Moore, Oscar Wilde,
Arthur Symons (of whom he says, "In
this new poet the rich poetic vintage has
run clear at last'') and Jules Lemaitre.
They are all interesting, but uneven;
and some of them commonplace. He
burns at his best with ''hard, gemlike
flame" but the flame dimmed toward the
last.
Pater had absolutely no interest in
man as a social creature. But it is good
to see him in print again.

BY F. PARKER STocKBRIDGE.

ME discussions IN the book says
Il the publishers blurb on the
Jacket of ToudrolS NeW Horizons, "are
mainly with reference to the League of
Nations and the place likely to be taken
by labor in the new world"
That place, as nearly as q single rather
careful reading Of the book reveals, will
be all the places there are, in The belief
of the author. Miss NJ. p Willcocks. One
seeks diligently for any intimation that
there is to be any place in the new world
which she tries to visualize for any one
who earns his living by any other means
than by manual labor.
1t will be curious and perhaps not
uninteresting world that is to be ushered
in, apparently, by "shrapnel from the
MARKHAM air guns" dropping upOn the
roofs of the unsuspecting "mediRvalists'
who still believe the workers Will fight
only by means Of strikes. Precisely how
this method of bringing about a social
reimbursement conforms to the professed
ideal of human brotherhood so broad as
to include every prisoner in every jail
it is difficult for a Don-class conscious but
merely democratic bourgeois to grasp at
first glance.
Miss WilIcocks evidences more than
mere sympathy with cOnvicts. She not
only includes in her dedication to "all my
friends" the specific statement that ''some
are in prison" but on page sevrntyone
maRcs the novel assertion that tine prison
is to-day in England, as long agV it was
in Russia, the school of idealisu both in
politics and religion" If this view is
shared generally by the radical school of
which Miss WiIlcocks is the exponent in
this instance it carries suggestion
worthy of note by any timid bourgeois
who has been wondering where 10 would
get off when the social revolution arrives
Rob bank, assault policeman Or break
the speed law and so get yourself safely
into the hoosegow when you see the revo-
luton coming; thus you will automatically
become of the elect and little brother of
the proletariat.
Seriously, Miss Willcocks's book Is one
to be read and pOndered by every one who
would be informed as TO the way IN which
this world of ours looks from the ultra
radical viewpoint, the more so since this
viewpoint is finding expression more
widely than ever before. There is nothing
in Toudrds Neu Horizons that Emma
Goldman might not have written, except
that Emma probably would not use final
IS" in the first word of the title. The
book voices the demand Of manual labor
that the world be turned over to it at once
or, rather, of that proportion of labor
ers who thin: revolution would give
them by an easy short cut the material
comfort that ninety nine per cent. of all
classes of people acquire only by patient,
unremitting work.
Every one will be happy, according to
this doctrine, when all governments are

TO those who love great prose Wltnout
Il any great regard for the subject
matter Walter Pater must be the English
master Oscar Wilde called his Renais-
sance studies the golden book and all
of the written matter of that master OF
English, Arthur Symons, seems only
continuation, a prolonged echo, of him
whom Symons acclaimed his master. The
prose of the author of MGrius the Epicu-
redR and Sebastian udB StOrck Is for
slow readers, the drowsy mastieatOrs of
rare foods. Pater must be read as De-
bussy's music must be listened to-wIth
all the inlets and secret valves of the
brain wide open. There is no rat-tat-tat
in his pages. 1t is the slow and measured
procession of purple images and lumln-
Gus phrases over velvet carpets.
Pater was hallucinated with the sub
ject that he wrote upon. And no writer
of English, except it be De Quincy or
Symons, had the power so completely to
hallucinate the reader. He weaves a spell
over the brain that puts the nerves and
the reason to sleep. One is literally
waited away down the winding Amazon
of his style. One sits In the boat of his
mind and cares no more where the stream
leads-he has that sense of perfect Sc
eurity and aesthetic well being that comes
with opium or certain wines. To read
Pater from end to end at one sitting
would be sort of remuneration Of life,
good-by TO the material universe, an armi-
stiee with time Consciousness. Only
from keats's poetry can there be attained
such hypostatic bliss. 1t is not the cart
that eoneeals art" either, but the art that
reveals art in all its naked verbal glories.
Side by side with this nareotizing quail
ity and contained deliriousness of Pater's
prose is the rare subtlety of his brain.
He stands in the centre Of his page like
the spider hidden in the heart of his web.
The limitless ripple of his style is matched
by the sinister calm of his depths. His
critical skill, his exquisite organ of diff
ferentiation, his microscopic vision, parts
marble from its form, pictures from their
color and concepts from their images.
In variety he sought the secret of life,
like Remy de Gourmont Nuanee, differ
ence, unlikenesses, were to Pater the su-
preme intellectual adventures. Let gods
and philosophers create universes; his joy
was to decentralize them, put cleft be-
tween the atoms, resolve the beauty of the
world into ultimate vibrations. To him
the simple did not exist. Each thing was
the termination of an eternity.
