threw dowu~the gauntlet to those who
distrust the proposed concert of gov
ernments, based, he declared, on the
American ideals which have won the
war for justice and humanity.
The complete ext of the presidents
address follows:

see me as ! am to see your Ii warns
my heart To see "A great body OF my
fellow citizens again, because in some
respects during the recent months /
have beer very lonely indeed without
your comradeshib and counsel. and |
tried at every step of the work which
fell To me to recall what | was sure
would be your counsel with regard TO
the great matters which were under
consideration.
| do not want you To think that |
have not been ~appreciative of the ex-
traordinarily generous reception which
was given to me Oh the other side. In
saving that IL makes me very happy

say that | was not very deeply touched
by the cries that came from the great
crowds on the other side. But ] want
to say 10 you In all honesty that felt
them to be a call Of greeting to you
rather than to me.
| did not feel that the greeting vas
personal. | had in my heart the over
crowding pride of being your repre-
sentative and of receiving the plaudits
of men everywhere who felt that your
hearts beat with theirs In the cause Of
liberty.
There was no installing the o In
the voices of those great crowds. IL
was not a tone of mere greeting. II
was not n tone Of mere generous wei
come II was the calling of comrade TO
eomrade. the cries that come from men
who say we have waited for this
day when the friends of liberty should
come across the sea and shake hands
with US. to see that IA new world was
constructed upon a new basis and
foundation of justice and right
can't tell you the inspiration that
came from the sentiments that came
out of those simple voices of the
crowd. And the proudest thing | have
10 report To You is that this great
country of ours is trusted throughout
the world.

would be premature.
can say that | have received very
happy impressions from this confer
-ence the impression that while there
are many differences OF Judgment,
while there are some dlvergences or
object, there Is, nevertheless. a COM
mon spirit and a common realization
of the necessity of setting up new
standards Of right in the world.
Not Masters, but Servants.
Because the men who are in con
ference In Paris realize as keenly as
any American can realize that they
are not the masters of their people;
that they are the servants of their
people. and that the spirit Of their peo-
pie has awakened to n new purpose
and a new conception of their power
to realize that purpose, and that no
man dare go home from that confer
ence and report anything less noble
than was expected of II.
The conference seems To you 10 20
slowly from day to day In Paris II
seems To go slowly but | wonder if
you realize the completely of the task
which Ii has undertakenY Ii seems as
If the settlements of the war affect,
and affect directly. every great, and |
sometimes think every small, nation In
the world. and no one decision can
prudently be made which Is not prop
erly linked in with the great series OF
other decisions which must accompany
il. And IL must be reekoned In with
the final result If the real quality
and character of that result Is to be
properly judged.
What we are doing is to hear the
whole case; hear II from the mouths
of the men most interested hear IL
from those who are officially commits
stoned to state 1t: hear the rival
claims heal the claims that affect
new areas of the world. that affect
new commercial and economic connee-
lions that have been established by
the great world wal through which
we have gone.
Claims OF Nations Moderate.
! have been struck by the moderate
ness of those who have represented
national claims. | can testify that !
have nowhere seen the CLEAN OF pas
sion. ! have seen earnestness, ! have
seen tears come TO the eyes or men
who pleaded for down-trodden people
whom they were privileged To speak
for but they were not the tears OF
anguish. they were the tears of ardent
hope.
And | don't see how any man can fall
TO have been subdned by these pleas,
subdued To this feeling. that he was
not there to assert an individual judg-
ment of his own. but 20 try 10 assist
the cause Of humanity.
In the midst of II all, every interest
seeks Out first OF ail when II reaches
Paris the representatives of the Unit
ed States. Why? Because, and |
think | am stating the most wonder
full fact in history-because there Is
no nation In Europe that suspects tile
motive Of the United States.
Hard to Forget Differences.
