'Is A Just Peace, and Will
Save World From Unnec-
essary Bloodshed."

President Wilson is home again in
the United States, having arrived on
the George Washington Tuesday July
9th, accompanied by Bernard Baruoh.
Vance Mccormick, Norman Davis.
Thomas Lamont and Pref. Haussie of
Harvard. He brought with him the
American pact Of the German treaty
and several protocols which he pre-
sents to the senate (this) Thursday
He also brought the treaty by which
the United States promises to assist
France if attacked by Germany.
"lt is just peace and if reserved
will save the world from unneces-
sary bloodshed" declared the presi-
dent in the first speech delivered on
American soil since the peace treaty
was signed.
In speaking of those who had op-
posed the treaty Mr.. Wilson only
said, Il am afraid some people, some
persons, do not understand that Wis.,
ion. They do not see it. They have
looked too much upon the ground.
They have thought too much of the
interests that were near them and
they have not Fistened to the voices
of their neighbors.a fhave never had
moments doubt M to where the
heart and purpose of this people
lay"
Il came home confident that the
people Of the United States were for
the League of Nations" said he, and
the welcomes that he received in New
York when he landed at Ais d. m.
and some hours later at Washington
reassured him of this feeling.
100000 people greeted the Presi-
dent upon his arrival in New York.
The George Washington was met up
the bay by the battleship Pennsylva-
MIA and a score of destroyers. Gov
ernor Smith and Mayor Hylan head
ed an official committee to welcome
home President and Mrs. Wilson.
Three miles from the ferry termi-
nal to Carnegie Hall the President
and his party passed through thou
sands Of cheering people, who were
loud in their acclaim to Mr.. Wilson.
This ovation was signal pleasure
to the President for when he spoke
ne was obviously under deep emo
tion.
After thanking the people for the
reception rendered him, he said, "I
was welcomed on the other side be-
cause the Allies had seen that Ameri-
"a was to preserve her liberty and
1ad sent thousands of her manly boys
% the battlefields to uphold her ira
1ltions." He asserted that the Am
'rican boys lived up to those tradit-
ons.
Though arriving in Washington at
midnight, the Presidential party was
greeted at the station by several
housand people. The welcoming
ceremonies here were brief.
An immense amount of accumulated
business awaits the presidents re-
urn. This he will deal with with
III speed SO as to start on a speech
making tour Of the country in the
interest of "The League of Nations"
nd of the peace treaty.
When the president is delivering
ne contents of the treaty to the SEN
tie today, another precedent will be
battered, in that the doors of the
enate will be for the first time open
0 the public when the president is
ddressing the senate. The debate
yer the acceptance of the treaty will
e heated, full of party prejudice,
ersonalities and such. Senators
lodge and Borah will be the ring
eaders os the opposition.
The proposed treaty is said to con-
ist of $50 printed pages. 1t is in
ended to give the treaty wide public
y and TO place copy in the hands
every American citizen who de-
res one.
The London Daily News declares
nat the peace treaty must be ac-
opted as it stands and then reshaped
need be. 1t further adds that Mr..
'ilson's defeat would be an interna-
onal disaster.
