Return From Versailles

WASHINGTON, July 14.-Presdent

tended a reception given at the French
Embassy by Ambassador and Nine.
Jusserand in observance of Bastie
Day, the French national holiday. 1t
was the first social event attended by
the President since his return from
France.
Responding to toast to the United
States by the Ambassador President
Wilson said the United States had a
deep feeling for the Republic of
France and the Fourteenth of July had
come to mean much to the American
people. The President referred to
celebration of the Fourth of July by
the French people and said the ami
versaries of the births of the two re-
publics through the war had become
sacred to the two peoples.
Emphasizing further the friendship
between France and the United States,
the President said a partnership of
free peoples was one Of spirit-a spirit
of common ideals and purposes The
war demonstrated, he added, what this
spirit could do for the world and that
it has a strength which no force of
arms could resist.
address, referred to the peace treaty
as colossal work" which, although
not perfect in every detail, perhaps,
would be productive of great results.
Bastile day last year, the Anba ssador
said, was a day of "anxiety and faith"
but this year it was celebrated in the
exultation of victory over the German
armies which twelve months ago were
pressing toward Paris and at the high
tide of their advance.
Guests at the reception, in addition
to the President and Mrs. Wilson, in
cluded Vice-President and Mrs. Mar
their wives, Speaker and Mrs. Gillett
and members of the Diplomatic Corps.
The reception brought to a close an
other busy day for the President, dur
ing which he held his first conferences
at the White House with Members of
Congress since his return, received an
Abyssinian mission, conferred with
Internal Revenue Commissioner Roper
in regard to enforcement of wartime
and constitutional prohibition and
played his daily game of golf He also
found time to send a message to France
in connection with the celebration of
Bastile Day.
Callers at the White House included
Senators King, of Utah, and Mcclellan
of Tennessee, with whom the President
discussed the peace treaty at some
length. 1t is understood considerable
attention was given the Shantung sit
uation.
Tomorrow the President will pre-
side at the first Cabinet meeting since
his return. All members of the Cabi-
net are expected to be present, with
the exception of Secretary of State

WASHINGTON, July 14.-Senator
Swanson Of Virginia to-day delivered
the "keynote" administration speech on
the peace treaty. He said in part:
THE covenant of the league, as at
present constituted, has been assailed
from two opposite sources. One con-
tention is that it creates a superna-
ton, submcrging into its sovereignty
the sovereignty OF all the signatories
to the covenant; that a supreme world
sovereign is created to whom the ma
tions are subordinated. The other
contention, urged by its opponents
with equal insistence, is that the COW
enant Is worthless paper parchment,
without sovereignty, without power,
and hence the league will be helpless
to prevent war or to adjust any chaotic
political conditions which may arise.
1t is impossible for both of these con-
tentions to be true.
The instrument creating the league
Of nations is covenant entered into
by sovereign states for the accomplish
ment OF certain purposes in designated
ways. No nation surrenders it's SOW
erelgnty by becoming a member OF the
league. One Of the attributes of SOW
ereignty is the ability TO make COW
cnants on agreements. This covenant,
| if ratified by the Senate, would be no
I more nor less than Il treaty legalized
under our Constitution. The one i'm
I pairs our sovereignty no more than the
| other.
League Membership Explained
Each member of the league repre-
sented in the council shall have one
vote and only one representative. The
selection of the representatives of the
members of the league in the council
would be made as provided by the laws
of the respective countries. In the
case of the United States the appoint
ment could be made in pursuance of
an act oi Congress. The selection OF
the four members of the league to
send representatives to the council by
the assembly must be made by unani-
nous agreement. Hence the four
members Of the council must be ac-
ceptable to the United States"
Senator Swanson dealt extensively
with the provisions OF Article re.
lating to disarmament, which, he
argued, seeks to secure permanent
peace. He continued:
"Mr. President the history Of the
world proves that large majority OF
wars have been occasioncd by a desire
Of conquest and to obtain additona
territory. Conquest and territorial
aggression since society and govern
mcnts were first organized have
stepped mankind in war, misery ane
violence. Eliminate these causes OF
war and the peace of the world is al
most secured. This covenant under
takes to accomplish this by Article 10
which is as follows:

Senator Swanson said that the Su-
preme Court of the United States in
TIE Chinese exclusion cases held thet
Congress could repeal any provision of
treaty taking away the right of the
United States TO exclude foreigners.
Suppose the council in dispute be-
.Wc~n the United States and Japan, for
illustration. said Senator Kellogg,

international question in which Japan
was interested, what would be the rem

said Senator Swanson.
Suppose the council should hold to
the contrary?" persisted Senator Kel-
logg:
absolute fraud" said Senator Swanson.
"Thc Senator knows we'll it is an abso-
lutte fraud in a court to make fraudu-
lent decision; that clearly such a de-
cision is not binding. If the conten-
tion that the whole world has held up
to this time, that immigration, though
immigration is not named in the COW
enant, is solely domestic question,
then have no doubt the council would
so properly find"
II have no doubt that immigration,
the tariff laws, coastwise traffic,
duties and all those things are purely
domestic questions. with which no
foreign country should have any con-
Germ, or, at least, any right to- inter
fere," said Senator Kellogg.
Senator Swanson said he thought
those questions more absolutely eX-
cluded from cons liberation of the
league.
Article x Is Discussed
Taking up Article K Senator Kellogg
asked Senator Swanson if it WIS his
opinion that the recommendations of
the council as to the means of carrying
out Article X are to be merely ad-
visory and are not to be binding upon
this country.
"They are advisory and binding on
the conscience and fair dealing and
honesty of this country" replied Sena-
tor Swanson.
But are they legally binding un-
der this treaty?' persisted Senator
Kellogg.
81 do not think they are legally
binding" said Senator Swanson. There
is no use of advising any one to act
legally"
Senator Pittman then asked Senator
Kellogg: "Is the Senator Of the opin-
ion that the contract could be changed
by reservation as we'll as by amend
ment?"
"A contract cannot be changed by
reservation or amendment without the
consent of the other parties of the
contract" said Senator Kellogg.

match Nado, addressed the President

which began with the reign of Menelik
H., would continue and develop
President Wilson in reply said:
"Excellency: 1t gives me great pleas
ure to welcome you as special mission
sent by the Abyssinian government to

victory over Germany and to receive
from you the letters Of Her Imperial
Majesty Zaouditou, Empress of Eth

your people have been constant in the
faith of the Old Testament for many
centuries, and yours was the first Of

sons it is honored and respected
throughout the world
"Owing to the great distance by
