bility that Bolshevism may spread in
threatening proportions to the Unit
ed States, unless the peace treaty is
ratified promptly, was suggested by
President Wilson in an address here
tonight
The whole world was waiting un-
easily, he said. while the poison
which wrecked Russia was spreading
among peoples who did not yet know
what guarantees there were to be for
liberty in the new world order
Describing the world as desperate
lly in need of the settled condition of
peace, the President said the United
States, the last nation which the
world expected to have to wait upon.
was delaying the coming of that
peace.
Treaty Would End Bolshevism.
The treaty, he said, not only would
establish peace, but it would end for
ever the rule of a few men over the
destinies of the many. Citing what
happened in Europe with the rise of
Bolshevism, Mr. Wilson said the
move of radicalism and disorder was
spreading.
"Do you honestly think that none
of that poison has got into the veins
of this free people? 2" he asked. "Men
look you calmly in the face in Ameri-
ca, and tell you they are for that sort
of revolution"
$50 long as the question of what
kind of peace the world was to have
and what guarantees were to be be-
hind it remained open, the poison
would continue to spread.
"How long shall we be kept wait
ing for the answer whether the world
will trust us or despise us?" he con-
tinued "The world stands annoyed
because an authority in America hes
itates whether it will indorse an
American doctrine"
Industrial Peace Held Up.
Labor and capital in the United
States, he asserted, could not pro
eeed intelligently with their settle
ments, nor could great problems like
the railroad situation be solved while
the suspense continued.
The President said he had not beer
able to work out the solution of the
railway problems, and would not be
able to do so until he should know
when peace basis would come The
conference. of labor and capital in
Washington next month, he contin-
ued, also would have its deliberations
affected by the answer to their ques-
ton. Labor, "all over the world is
waiting" he asserted, "to see wheth-
er the United States accepted the
treaty's provisions for an interna-
tional labor organization.
The United States, said tine presi-
dent, could not participate in the
world labor conference to be held in
Washington soon under the treaty
. unless the treaty was accepted by
this country.
Such a condition would be ''incon-
eeivable," he added, and would lead
to the greatest modification"
Says the World Waits on Us.
"The world is waiting" said the
president, ''to see, not whether we
J will take part, but whether we will
J take the lead"
Mr.. Wilson said he had been "an-
noyed to see that the craftsmanship
of some gentlemen consists of doing
; nothing at all . | have heard OF
standing pat before, but ! never have
, heard of standpatism going to that
length"
1t was the people themselves, he
said, who would in the end determine
what course the United Sattes would
take.
"They are my BOSSES he said. =
have come out on this journey not ts
fight anybody, but to report to you
The peace, Mr.. Wilson asserted
had been made on american speci
! fications." OF the ultimate outcome
regarding the treaty, Mr. Wilson sale
he had no doubt.
