day that his purpose wss 10 go out
and report 10 my fellow coun,rymcn. y

said, and there was provision Tor

The people who framed this treaty
had no desire 10 oyofWhclm Germany.

souls Of the German people the wrong,
they permitted their rulers to per-
pctrate.

that there is a consciousness IN Ger
man hearts OF the wrongs committed
The Austrian delegates admitted that
the war was crime.
No Indemnity.
Everything in the treaty was de-
signed not to humillatc Germany but
TO right the wrongs that she had
done. No indemnity is tta'wed in thi,
treaty, only reparation There is no
indemnity, do not forget that And

speeches made. They carry state

ton that attempts such aggression IN
the future, that the nations OF the
world arc united 10 punish such at

Promises Must Be Carried Out.
The president then paid high tribute
TO the allied causes declaring that the
promises made to the people OF the
United States must be carried out
He declared that in taking. the

the war tie nation had promised that
the object would be to end wars.
Disregard Of this promise would be
an infamy the president said.
This is what the league OF ma

is TO prove to the nations Of the
world that the nations will combine

"The league Of nations is based
on the experience Of the present

OF nations, is for any purpose but 10
