basis which would put labor and capital

In two addresses the president as
serted that the connection between &C

Grafton Of living conditions was direct
one. and that the world was looking 10

Opening his speech. Mr.. Wilson said
there were no political considerations In
his spcech-making trip for the treaty.
It was an American issue. he declared.
and he had come out to the people
rather to hold counsel" than to make a
fight against anybody.
Despite the varied national origins Of
the people Of America. the president de-
clared 'hyphen" tho most un-Amcri-

only nation. he continued. that can sym
alphabetically organize the world for
peace. OF the many delegations from
foreign lands who appealed to him for a
hearing in Paris he said. all were able TO
point out that they had relatives in
America
Just as the soldiers Of the Civil War
had saved the country Mr.. Wilson said,
the American soldier "in this war had
saved the world" And just as a great
nation had really been born from tn"
Civil War. so "a greater thing" would
result from the sacrifices Of the last
few years.
Saying that. OF course. tho league
would not be an absolute guarantee"
against war. Mr.. Wilson asked whether
II would not be worth while If il re-
duced the probability Of war even by
10 per cent. There were many cries Of
yves, yes" over the hall, and then
burst Of cheers. Tie crowd cheer"d
