PRESIDENT SCORES
TREATY ENEMIES
tcontinued from Pare one.l

Continued from Page one.)
there by common consent and common
conviction, but 1t remains true, never
theless; my feIlow-citiEens, that prin-
eipIes are written into that treaty
which were never written into any
great International understanding be-
fore, and that they have their natural
birth and origin in this dear country
to which we have devoted our life
and service, and IL you viii bear with
me 1 will remind you Of some Of the
things that we have long desired and
which are at last accomplished in
this treaty.
"I think I can say that one Of the
things that America has had most at
heart throughout her existence has
been that there should be substituted
for the brutal processes Of war the
friendly processes OF consultation and
arbitration, and that Is done in the
covenant OF the League Of Nations.
am very anxious that my fellow cit
izens should realize that that is the
chief topic Of the covenant Of the
League Of Nations.
"The greater part OF Is provisions,
the whole intent and purposesOf the
document are expressed by the pro-
visions by which all the member
states agree that they viii never go
to war without first having done one
or other Of two things, either submit
the mateer in controversy 70 arbitra-
ton, in which case they agree 20
abide by the verdict, or submit it to
discussion ia the council Of the league
OF nations; and for that purpose they
consent to allow six months for the
discussion, and whether they Ike the
opinion expressed or not, that they
will not 60 to wa< for three months
after that opinion has'been expressed
$50 that you have, whether you get
afbitration or not, nine months dis
cussion, and want to remind you
that Is the central principle OF some
thirty treaties entered into between
the United States Of Ameriea and
some thirty other sovereign nations,
all OF which are confirmed by. tfsa Sem
ate Of the United States.
We have such an agreement with
France; we have such an agFeemept
with Great BFitaiH; we have such an
agreement with practically eyerY na,
tion except Germany, which refused
to enter1iHt such an agreement be-
cause, my fellow citizens, Germany
kneW that she INTENDED something
that didn't hear Discussion, and that
IL Si1ef had EubRitfed the pIfrposs
Wbiehs I'D TO this war to 50 much as
one moUti's discussion she never
would have dared 50 into the enter
prise against mankipd, which she
finally did 90 into. :
"And therefore. I say that this
principle Of discussion Is the principle
already adopted by America, And
what Is. the compuision to do this?
The eompulsion IL this, that il any
member state violates that promise
70 submit either 70 arbitration or dis
cussiOn. IT, Is thereby, ipso facto
deemed to have committed an act OF
Waragainst all the rest.
President Wilson apparently Is
making an effort to humanize and

you can afford to have everybody un-
friendly to you"
The league OF nations without the
United States would be "an alliance
and not a league OF nations" he said.
There can be no league OF nations,
in a true sense, without the partner
ship Of this great people, and u we
are a partner, let US predict we'll be
the senior partner. The other nations
are looking to us for leadership and
direction"
Some HaVeat Read Treaty.
1t was a clear choice, said the
President. between armed isolation"
and peaceful partnership" He said
he had heard IL asserted with annoy
ing ignorance that this league would
be a league for war.
"I wonder" he continued, III some
of the gentlemen who are comment
ing on this treaty have read IT, There
isn't a phrase OF doubtful meaning
in the whole document"
When the President said IL some
body would give him the name Of
zone OF these gentlemen" he'd send
him a copy, several people In the
crowd yelled:
Reed"
The President laughed.
The league opponents said the Pres
ident seemed to be figuring out how
soon we could get out OF it." Then
he added: "I for one am not a quit
ter" and got another cheer from the
crowd.

BUSY FOR CAMERA

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 6.-At the
Coliseum here last night. which was
filled to overlooking by thousands
anxious to hear President Wilson, a
photographer in a lookout gallery
called through a megaphone for a
moments attention to take a flash
light, but the President did not wait,
saying this is much too serious an
occasion to carp how we look; we
ought to care how we think"
Mr.. Wilson declared that TO amend
the treaty would mean it's failure and
the isolation of the United States.
Only those who are ignorant Of worlo
affairs, he said, could believe that
even great nation like the United
States could stand by itself and apart.
''If the United States is to save iIs
own economical interests" said the
President, 1t must save the economic
interests OF the world" That was one
reason, he continued, why the United
State3 should have a representative
on the powerful reparation commits
sion. II there were no Americansvolce
on this commission, he asserted, this
country would have to put into the
hands OF foreign interests seeking to
control world markets American
money for the rehabilitation Of the
world.
PlayinE Lone Hand.
That" said the President. lis
what they call playing a lone hand.
1t is playing a lone hand; it is playing
q hand frozen out. Those who pro-
pose these things do not understand
the interests Of the United States"
Should America fail to take Its Just
part in the world rehabilitation. the
President asserted, the whole attitude
OF the world toward America would
be changed Because the world
trusted so much, he said, the reaction
would be accordingly great.
Should the United States stand
apart, economically and politically.

be physically ready" for trouble. The

With Senatorial opponents Of the
treaty and league Of nations plan
ming a tour over the same ground
now being covered by the President,
leaders Of the various Senate fac
tons today. were counting noses" in
an effort TO determine their voting
strength.
A leading Democratic Senator to-
lay declared that twenty Democrats
win vote fof reservations to the
reaty, while twenty-seven will vote
or unqualified ratification.
Try To Compromise.
This prediction, II was made plain,
is based on the assumption that there
viii be no more changes OF position.
Meanwhile the "mild reservation
lists" and the Lodge group we're try
ing 10 compromise their. differences
over fae wording Of the reservation
on Article X OF the league covenant,
which Is now the real issue among
those faYoring reservations.
Senator Lodges proposal, adopted
by the Foreign Relations Committee,
is for q reservation which assumes
that the United States viii stay out
Of foreign wars over territorial in
vasions and the like, except upon the
most extreme provocation to get in.
Senator McCumber's plan, repre-
ssnting the views OF mild reservation
lists, assumes that the United States
viii be willing to get into such wars
II a plain case OF unlawful aggression
can be made out
Both proposals leave the United
States free to decide through Con-
gress when It win go in, and to what
extent.

not written word in advance. He
has only made list OF less. than a
