reasons that led the representatives of one billion people to agree on it's re- organization of the world"
 Senator McCumber. Republican. North Dakota. a supporter of the League of Nations, said the address was very inn pressive."
 'sThe address" said Senator Swanson, Democrat. Virginia, lis magnificent able. eloquent and inspiring. The reasons presented for the ratification of the ratification of the treaty, including the League of Nations. were strong. cogent and unanswerable."
 ''I think" said Senator Williams. Dem- ocrat. Mississippi, that in breadth of vision. in height of humanitarianism. in fundamental world statesmanship. and in delicacy of dove-tailed English. it is the greatest thing he has ever uttered. His words are a fitting close to his magnifi- cent unselfish and upon the whole eff fective work at Paris"
 T thought said Senator Chamberlain. Democrat. Oregon, lit was splendid ad- dress covering the subject concisely and in a way that will make it's way to the hearts of the American people"
 and of right, lasting triumph in the assurance of which men might everywhere live without fear.
 "Old entanglements of every kind stood in the way-promises which gov ernments had made to one another in the days when might and right were confused and the power of the victor was without restraint.
 Arrangements which contemplated and dispositions of territory, any eX of that n1iObt seem to be to the interest of those who had the power to insist upon them had been entered into without thought of what peoples concerned might wish or profit by; and these could not always be honorably brush ed aside.

It had been our priv ilege to formulate the principles which were accepted as the basis of the peace, but they had been accomplish ed not because we had come in to hasten and assure the victory and in- sisted upon them, but because they were readily acceded as the princi- pies to which honorable and enlighten- ed minds everywhere had been bred.

Shall we or any other free people hesitate to accept this great duty? Dare we reject it and break the heart of the world?
 ''The stage is set, the destiny dis closed. It has come about by no plan of our conceiving, but by the hand of God, who led us into this way" the president concluded. We cannot turn back. We can only go forward with lifted eyes and freshened spirit to follow the vision. It was of this that we dreamed at our birth. America shall in time show the way The light steams upon the path ahead and mo- where else"
