81 am sincerely glad that the com
mittee should have responded in this
way to my intimation that would like
to be of service to it. welcome the
opportunity for frank and full inter
change of views.
~ hope, too, that this conference will
serve to expedite YOUR consideration of
the treaty of peace. " beg that you will
pardon and indulge me if again urge
that practically the whole task of bring
ing the country back to normal condi-
tions of life and industry waits upon
the decision of the senate with regard
to the terms Of the peace.
81 venture thus again to urge my ad.
vice that the action of the senate with
regard to the treaty be taken at the
earliest practicable moment because the
problems with which we are face to face
in the readiustment Of our national life
are of the most pressing and critical
character, will require for their proper
solution the most intimate and disinter-
tcsted cooperation of all parties and all
interests and cannot be postponed with
out manifest peril to our people and to
all the national advantages we hold
most dear. May 1 mention few of the
matters which cannot be handled with
intelligence until the country knows the
charter of the peace it is to have? ]
do SO only by & very few examples.

Omitted Press Staff Correspoqdcnt.)
Washington, Aug. 19.-Urging that
the senate expedite the ratification OF
the peace treaty. President Wilson to-
day opened his conference with mem,
bers of the senate foreign relations com
mittee at the White House by making q
long statement In which he said:
That the readjustinent of our national
life to normal conditions absolutely de-
pends on getting the treaty out Of the
way.
That until it is out Of the way, the
mines, factories and business Of the
country, both domestic and foreign, will
be at tremendous disadvantage.
That Great Britain and other nations
that have ratified the treaty will get
the jump ON the United Sttaes in q
trade way. N
That the only obstacle which appears
to stand in the way of immediate ratifi-
cation is doubt about the meaning OF
certain provisions OF the league of ma.
tioas.
Provisions AL Clear.
That there is no doubt in the minds
of those who wrote the covenant that
the so-called doubtful provisions mean
exactly what the United States senate
wants them to mean.
The president discussed the effect of
reservations on Article X, the Monroe
doctrine, withdrawal and domestic
questions. He declared there can be
no objection to passing a resolution in
terpreting these provisions from the
American point of view, but this resolu-
tion, he added must be kept from the
subject of ratification. If it is made n
part of the ratification, the president
said, it will force the United States to
go to Germany begging her to accept
our construction of the covenant and
that is something, Wilson declared
which he is very reluctant to do.
BY 10 O'Clock, the hour set for the
conference, practically every member of
the committee was in the blue room OF
the White House, where the president
met them.

Omitted Press staff correspondent
Washington, Aug. 10. - The senate

There can be neither amendment

olution, if the senate would avoid
sending the compact back both to the
allies and Germany for reconstruction
and reaeceptance, he said. .. y
~ The president added, however, with
reference to Article x:
"I do hope that we are at liberty,
contempomneously with our accept
ance of the treaty to interpret our
moral obligations under that article "
In prepared statement to the com
mittee the president also declared
there could be no reasonable objections
to interpretations accompanying the
act of ratification, providing they dc
not form a part of the ratification
resolutions.
Conference Drawn Out
The conference between the presi
dent and the committee members was
expected to last throughout the day
In addition to emphasizing the fact
that in his opinion either amendment
or reservation would throw the treaty
back into the turmoil of new ,negotia
tions, the president urged on the com
mittee the imperatiyeness of speedy
ratification, declaring that the Aus
trian, hungarian and other treaties
|still to be completed are delayed BY
waiting disposition of the German
treaty. and that American prosperity
awaits the restoration of peace.
Meeting rapid fire of most search
ing questions. which went into min

plan for league of nations, the presi,
dent answered every inquiry prompt

That article ten may some time i'm
pose on this country "a compelling
moral obligation" the president did
not deny, but when the time comes, he
asserted, complete freedom of action
remains with the United States.

reeted in large measure to learning the
extent to which the United States is
bound to the league, the Shantung set.
