Republican A. P. Leased WIre1

States unless the peace treaty is rati- fled promptly was suggested by Presl- dent Wilson in an addrPss here tonight The whole world was waiting un- easily, he said, while the poison which had wrecked Russia was spreading among peoples who did not yet know what guarantees there were to be for liberty in the new world order Labor and capital in the United States, he asserted could not proceed intelligently with their settlements nor could prob lens like the railroad situation be solved while the suspense continued.
 Facts Purely American
 MT Wilson defended the Shantung provision of the treaty and said the league covenant section referring to the Monroe doctrine had been inserted to give the Monroe doctrine right of way in the western hemisphere" he declared and his conviction was that it would do so.
 The treaty with it's league of nations covenant was explained here tonight by President Wilson as a purely Amer ican document extending democracy over the world and shifting foreign re- lations from a basis of force and war to one of arbitration and peace.
 Making his second address of the day, the president spoke in the Des Moines Coliseum, said to seat 7,500. Every chair was taken and many were stand ing.
 Earlier in the day he had spoken at Kansas City, Mo, more than 300 miles away.
 An escort of aeroplanes dropped flowers on the presidents special train as it approached the city, and he was cheered during an automobile ride through crowds that packed the down. town streets far out beyond the curb. When he entered the coliseum he was cheered- again.
 Themeeting was opened with an in- vocation and Mir. Wilson was intro- duced by J. B. Weaver, president of the spoke on the outstanding figure in the life of the world today
 Mrs. Wilson sat on the platform.
 Describing the world as desperately in need of the settled condition of peace, the president said the United States the last nation which the world expected to wait upon, was delaying the coming of that peace
 Would End Inperiaiistic Rule
 The treaty, he said, not only would establish peace, but it would end for ever the rule of few men over the destiny of the many.
 Citing what had happened in Europe with the rise of boishevism, Mir. Wilson said the move of radiealism and dis order was spreading on a reaction.
 Do you honestly think that none of that person has got into the veins of this free people?s he asked. Men look you calmly in the face in America and tell you they are for that sort of revolution"
 So long as the question is open of what kind of peace the world was to have and what guarantees were to be behind it remained opened, the latent poison would continue to spread.
 How long shall we be kept waiting for the answer whether the world will trust us or despise us?" he continued.
 'The world stands annoyed because an authority in America hesitates whether it will endorse an American doctrine"
 The president said he had not been able to work out the solution of rail- road problems until he knew when a peace basis came. The conference of labor and capital in Washington next month, he continued, also would have its deliberations affected by the an- swer to their question. Labor stall over the world is waiting" he asserted. to see whether the United States accepted the treaty's provisions for an interna- tional labor organization"
 The United States said the president could not participate in the world la bor conference to be held in Washing ton soon under the treaty, unless the treaty was accepted by this country Such a condition would be s'inconeeiv- able he added, and would lead to the greatest @mortification"
 "The world is waiting" said the president, ito see not wether we will take part, but whether we will take the lead
 MT. Wilson said he had been 'an- noyed to see that the statesmanship of some gentlemen consists in the very interesting proposition of doing noth ing at all I have heard of standing pat before but I ne CT have heard oi standpatism going to that length
 All Look to United States
 The fathers of the republic. MT Wilson said, intended to set up a standard 10 which the world would come for liberty. From all nations. he continued, men had come by millions
 Opponents of the league. the presi- dent asserted. were saying s.yes, wt made a great promise to the world, but it will cost too much to redeem it. If we deliberate choice, the United States becomes a rival and antagonfst of her neighbors instead of their friends, sad the president, then il would reap the same reward as a bust. ness man who proceeded on that basis If the United States tried to get all il could seIfishly. he continued, then the world would see that it got nothfns at all
 Just as American soldiers retsore, the morale of the fighting peoples O the allies. said the president, so tn United States now could restore tn peace morale of the world. It wa the people themselves, he said who il the end would determine what cours the United States would take.
 They are my bosses he said. :. have come out on this journey not | fight anybody, but to report to you.
 The peace. MT. Wilson asserted ha, been made on American specified tionsi'
 Among these specifications. he said was the establishment of Poland, an the other new mid European nation which now separated Germany from tn pathway Of empire. She expected t establish to the southeast.
