How 10 Make Next Year Better Than
This" Ps. 90: i-i7.
Wherever there is life there must be
growth. The natural law OF life, which
is really the law OF God, is that the New
Year should be better than the old year.
Let us not part with the old year
without asking Gods blessing upon II
as II goes into the past. The mistakes
and imperfections we can never remedy,
but God can. To commit the old year
to Him Is to be sure that Il goes into
the past touched by his hand, and 20 re-
lleved Of wrongs and mistakes.
There can not be much hope for a
better year unless we look 10 God for
His help and accept from Him His
guidance and cOmpanionship all
through the year. To look into the fu-
ture and know that we must enter Il
alone without any assurance Of friend
ship or help would be terrible indeed
II we know that God VIII be present in
the unknown days, we can step over the

In the treaty itself touching that.
Mr.. New-Did not France yield under

American delegates, to abandon certain

The President-Of course. You see,
you are going into the method by which
the treaty was negotiated. Now, with

Mr.. New-Mr, President. would our

Mr.. New-What would have been the

Mr.. New-Well, 1 do not want to press

Senator Moses-Mr President, under
the terms of the treaty Germany cedes
to the principal allied and associated
Powers all of her overseas possessions?
The President-Yes.
Mr.. Moses-We thereby, as I view IT,
become possessed in fee OF an undivided
fifth part of those possessions.
The President-Only as one OF five
trustees, Senator. There is no thought
in any mind OF sovereignty.
Mr.. Moses-Such possession as we ac-
quire by means OF that cession would
have to be disposed OF by Congressional
action.
The President have not thought
about that at all.

Questions wisdom of Act.

Senator Brandegee-I feel Just as cor
daily toward her heroic conduct as
anybody can. But that was not the
question. The question was whether It
was wise to 30 tie ourselves to contact
to any foreign nations as that we never
could repudiate-r will not use the word
Iepudicate'-can never cancel our
treaties without due, notice without the
consent of a body not vet created7
The President-Of course 1 am as
suming that body will be created before
we adopt the Franco-American treaty.
and in that case that provision that you
are abiding to is only n completion OF
the idea of the treaty. namely. as have
been quoted as saying. this is an agree
ment on our part to participate on the
advice Of the council Of the league as
we shall take such and such measures
to defend France. Inasmuch as Wa are
anticipating that we are assuming the
action of the league. therefore It is
with the league and its action that the
whole matter Is bound up. and / think
the provision you allude Ito therefore
consistent and almost logically neces-
sary.
Senator Brandegee-weil. now. mas
much as you have stated in your mes

the Franco-American treaty is only de-
signed for temporary purposes-the de-
fence OF France until the League says
that II is competent to do II, or words
to that effect
The President-Yes.
Senator Brandegee-Would 1t not be

Senator Brandegee - They must be

a dispute with England about the right
of an American ship to enter an English
port how can II be said that New Zealand
or Australia Is a party to that dispute?
The President - Because, Senator. In
case OF the worst coming to the worst
and war ensuing, we would be at war
with all ~ them.
Senator Brandegee-It may be that
blunder Las been made in creating such

tive. In MY opinion. Now, on page seven

vides that when Germany ana three OF
The allied and associated Powers have

The President-As between hose

Senator Brapdegee-I have read that
