RESERVATION ON
Article 10 TO
mean REJECTION
President Says He Would Re-
gard it as Complete Treaty
rundown.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Sept 25.-Read-
e again the proposed Senate reserva-
lion to Article 10, of the league of ma
tons covenant, President Wilson de-
clared in his address here today that
should any such reservation be adopt
ed he would "be obliged as chief ex-
ecutive to regard it as a rejection of
the treaty"
The president added that rejection
of the treaty would mean negotia-
ton Of a separate peace with Ger
many. and asserted that such ne.
gotiation could not change a single
item of the peace settlement.
Recalling Japan's promise to return
to China all sovereign rights in Shan
tung, the president said the only
thing retailed by the Toxic government
would be economic rights such as 9th.
er nations hold. He said the United
States had no right to doubt that
promise. He characterized as empty
noise" the professions Of friendship
for China made by those who want
the treaty 10 fail.
Time for Showdown.
Turning to the league covenant, the
president said the question of whether
the heart of the league covenant was
to be cut out soon must come to a
Showdown" 1t would mean the Wit.
iation of the whole plan, he asserted
if the nation were to adopt reserva
tons to Article 10 as proposed in the
senate.
One by one, he said, the objections
to the covenant had been disposed of
TO all candid minds" he asserted
ut now was apparent that the Monroe
doctrine was fully protected, that
there was no super-government set ur
and that no danger was to be feared
from the speaking parts" given tc
the British dominions in the league
assembly. The withdrawal objections
he said, was another "bugaboo" thai
had ben dispelled.
Thus, continued Mr. Wilson, the
whole discussion had settled dowr
upon Article 10, under which members
agree to preserve one another's ter
ritorial integrity against external ag
gression. He declared this cut at the
tap root of war" because nearly al
wars started from aggression against
those unable to defend themselves
Calls idca Ridiculous.
The reservations read by the pres1
dent were the same that he laid be
fore his audience last night at the
Salt Lake City Tabernacle. By its
provisions, the United States would as
sumo no obligation to preserve the
territorial integrity Of other nations
unless congress should so decide.
at is as thought you said we viii
not join the league now" said he, "bu
may join it from time to time. We
wont promise anything, but from time
to time we may cooperate.
The thing is unworthy and ridicu
lous. 1t means the rejection of the
treaty, nothing less. The issue i:
final We can't avoid it. We have
got to make the decision now ant
once made, there can be no turnin:
back"
Unless the United States went int
the league now, he added, and assum
cd it's full responsibility it would have
to come in later with Germany.
