Against this Russia who held the
Prussian monster at bay while the
rest of Europe prepared; against this
Russia whose unarmed sons met and
held the hordes OF Prussia with their
bare fists and breasts. we now guar
antee a ACKNOWLEDGMENT the length
and breadth OF which is not yet dis
closed to us.
Tell me, can any baseness DER top
this?
GERMANY's COLONIES
In so far as Germany is concerned
II is to be noted that all OF her pos
sessions in Africa and all of her pos
sessions in Oceania come to the prin-
cipal allied and associated powers as
tenants in common.
In this connection / note the report
that we are to hand over to Japan
the German possessions north of the
equator, notwithstanding they form
a barrier between us and our posses
sions in the Philippines and some of
them lie almost at the door OF our
territory of Hawaii.
All of these possessions we guar
antee to those whom they are to be
banded and none OF them (thank God
for that. at leasD come individually
to us.
We, who for almost century and
a half have held ourselves aloof from
European entanglements, who for a
century and half have followed the
prophetic wisdom or Washington ut
tered In his farewell address, now
find ourselves not alone in European
alliances, which he condemned. but
actually co-owners of European ter
ritory.
At this point want to recall 10
your attention the relative strength
OF the parties to this treay and again
o the fact that OF the twenty-seven
powers who are signatory OF this
treaty containing this far reaching
guarantee, twenty-five have not, all
combined, sufficient land and sea
forces even appreciably to defect

great responsibility OF the treaty and
Of the provisions OF its covenant falls
upon the five principal allied and as
ISOLATED powers, the United States.
France. Great Britain, Italy and ia

Again ask you TO further consid-
er the immensely of the task which
we have undertaken. for not only must
we under the provisions now con-
tained in article X Of the league COW
enant guarantee the territorial dis
position of the areas taken from Ger
many as i have above described, but
we guarantee those new states which
are to be carved out OF Austria, Hun
gary and Russia in addition.
i recently had opportunity to lis
ten TO an informal talk by promin-
ent Russian belonging TO the great
middle class OF that country,
He was discussing the duty OF the
united States toward Russia and was
urging us TO rehabilitate Russia fin
ancially on the ground that this was
the best way OF rehabilitating Eur
ope, since Russia was the granary OF
Europe.
As he progressed in his talk, and
aiteT auNertlng 10 the part that Rus
STA had played in tbs war he said
that the first aim of all Russians was
to wipe out the stigma puon their
honor which had been caused bv their
collapse; and that the second pur-
pose was TO reestablish Russia In he
former power and glory, for, said he.
Russia could not be expected to be
bound as to the disposition OF her
own territory by treaty to which
she was not a party.
SEES NEW MERGER
Recalling thas Tussra VIII by the
proposed dismenberment have deep
cause of permanent irritation as
against the five great powers, recall
ling that Germany will inevitably
have an undying hatred and a deep
seated determination for revenge
against these same powers that this

Bulgaria and of Turkey; that all OF
these powers have not only been cut
