their only reward could be a feeting

He has met and talked to all types

to farmers and mechanical workers,
to Indians and cowboys and foreign
born herders and rangers, to soldiers
and to mothers who lost soldier-sons

DENIED TREATY DRAFT
Wilson Declines to Give Senate
Copy of Austrian Pact.
Holds Action Would Encourage Sena-
torial Encroachment on Execu-
tive Powers.

Washington, Sept. 2.-The request
Of the senate foreign relations COM
mittee for latest drafts of the pro-
posed treaties with Germany's allies
have been refused by President Will
son on the ground that compliance
would set a precedent encouraging SEN
atorial encroachment on the presiden-
.tial power of treaty negotiation.
In a seriese of letters made public
Mr.. Wilson wrote that it was tout of
the question to accede to the COM
mittee's suggestion. Chairman Lodge
replied that although the treaties
were closely connected with the treaty
with Germany, the President I'M
doubtedly had authority to keep in
formation about them from the SEN
ate if he chose.
Brings Another lmpasse.
The correspondence apparently
brought another impasse between the
President and the committee on the
much debated subject of what infor-
nation the senators should have Ii

been Republicans. They have all isalu:
I'VE are nothing but Americans, Mr..
President"
Mr.. Wilson's arguments for the
league, briefly summarized, r those:
There can be no peace, either now
OF in the future, without it. There
can only be a %regrouping of nations
and a new Balance of Power" which
is certain to lead to war. There can
be nc war in the future, with the
league in existence, because no single
nation would defy the united rest Of
mankind, and if it did, it could be
brought to terms by an economic
boycott, and without the use of arms.
There can be no reduction in the
cost of living until the league is es-
tablished, for nations will not go
ahead with peace time production un-
til they know that peace is definitely
assured and that production of war
material is no longer necessary.
There can be wonderful prosperity,
with the league in existence, for rel
ations Of labor and capital all over
the. world will be made closer and
more friendly, and the worker will re-
ceive a fairer share OF what he pro-
duces.
These declaration OF the president,
logically and eloquently put, have left
his hearers thinking and thinking
deeply. And then Mr.. Wilson has
pointed out, the people themselves, as
differentiated from senators and politi-
clans, seem to want just what the
president wants, which is America for
leadership.
Quite as unusual as the purpose Of
the cross country tour is the manner
in which it is being carried out and
the completeness of the arrange
ments on the nine car train which is
bearing the party.
