ono Of the powerful agencies for pre-
venting people from knowing the posi-
bilities of the league of nations.
"On the t1th Of November America. .
as no nation on earth ever had been
before, was respected, reyercd and be-
loved. After six months OF meddling
and muddling in European and Asiatic
controversies and contests over territory
the end of the Peace Conference finds
Italy dctcsting us. France secretly de-
spising us, England using us and Japan
bluffing us.
They are all willing and anxious
that We should have our league Of ma =
tions and willing and ansious because
of the same spirit which has ruled
them in the Peace Conference. The one

enter into partnership with certain ma :

both moral and material and assume

the Monroe Doctrine. The amendment
simply says. the validity OF regional
understandings for securing the mnin-
tcnance of peace shall not be affected.
In other words. IL tho Monroe Doctrine
is TO be administered. it will bc within
the jurisdiction of the league of ma
tions to administer it.
"The blackest page in all our history
was written when our name was signed
to the treaty delivering Shantung to
Japan. We have not only committed
the crime. in the first instance, but we
have guaranteed the crime for all time.
1--WE give. by tho peace treaty,
Shantung to Japan. and by the league
or nations part of the document we
guarantee Shantnng to Japan, and
guarantee it with our treasure and our
blood.
1T is absolutely clear that questions
like immigration. those arising from the
alien land law Of California, and simi-
lar matters. will be within the jurisdic-
ton of the league. Remember that there
is in existence an offensive and dcfen-
sivc alliance between Japan and Great
Britain. and that. when the question Of
Shantung recently was up. Britain very
frankly said this treaty alliance still
existed As n Californian, j am not
ready to submit any race problems we
may have to the jurisdiction of the
council of the league of nations, or to
the league itself. ..
II am unwilling that either body
should pass upon possibly the gravest
question that confronts us. You gen
tlcmcn from the South would resent the
suggestion that a race problem OF yours
should be decided by nations bound to
the race affected by secret treaty.

declaration Of future wars would be de-
cidcd not by established rulers, but
by popular vote of the peoples con
ccrncd.
'1t is not a league of nations to pre-
vent war he asserted. 'In its very
creation il has been stripped of every
idcalistic purpose it ever, had. 1t con
tains within itself the germs of many

corn itself with peoples.
Instead of coming closer to those
most concerned, the men and women for
whom governments should exist. the
league goes a step farther from them
/ The representatives of ruling powers sit

this document really wanted to prevent

was mot merely arr instrument TO
adjust and remedy old wrongs under
a new treaty of peace. it was the
only hope for mankind
1t had not been easy the Presi-
dent said, ito graft the new order
of ideas or the old, and some OF
the fruits of the grating may, l fear
for a time, be bitter
But, with very few exceptions"
he added, 1.-The men who sat with
us at the peace table desired as
sincerely as we did to get away
from the bad influence. the illegiti-
mate purposes, the demoralizing m
bitions, the international counsels
ard the eXpedients out of which the
sinister designs of Germany had
sprung as a natural grawth."
The proposed supplementary
treaty uEder which the United
States would agree to go to the aid
of France in case of an unprovoked
assault on that country by Germany,
will be presented separately at a
later date. Mr.. Wilson is preparing
a separate address to the Senate eX-
planning this agreement.
Mr.. Wilson's purpose to present
the Peace Treaty and the agreement
with france separately, was dis
closed to-day at a conference with
press representatives. 1t was in
Dictated that his time thus far had
been devoted entirely to preparing
his address or the Treaty with Ger
many and that opportunity had been
lacking to complete a similar expla-
nation of the proposed pact with
France.
President Wilson is understood to
take the position that a two-thirds
majority will be required to adopt
any Senate reservations in ratifying
the Peace Treaty. The impression
of opposition leaders in the Senate
has been that Only a simple ma
jority would be required.
After concluding mis- address, the
President formally presented the
Treaty to the Senate and the official
copy was imediately referred to the
Foreign Relations Committee and
rushed to the printer in order that
it might be in senator's hands in the
shortest possible time. Fifty thou
sand copies of the Treaty and the
Presidents address were ordered
printed by the Senate.
