Pressed for a more exact detlnl-
ton by committee members who III
sisted that the whole arrangement
was a rope of sand" he asserted
that on the contrary he considered K
as placing the nations in "an attitude
of comradeship and protection,
which would compel respect for the
principles of justice and liberty.
Entire Discussion Made Public.
Meeting the committee in round
table discussion in the east room OF
the White House, in contradiction
to the precedentS of more than a
century and with the whole nation
listening through the medium of a
relay of public stenographers, the
president went into many Of the de-
tails of the peace negotiations and
touched on all the hotly debated
questions which have divided the
senate in its consideration of the
peace treaty.
Article 10 of the covenant, guar
aHteeing the integrity of league
members against aggression, he de-
clared, would leave to each nation
complete freedom of choice as to
the application of force" Even if
the American representatives on the
council joined in an unanimous rec
ommendation for military action, the
final decision for peace or war must
rest so far as concerned the United
States with congress, he said.
Whatever advice the council gave
under Its authority to take such &C
ton as is deemed appropriate" "
must also be deemed appropriate by
the United States to be binding on
this government. he argued, though
in the background would be such a
potential moral force that he doubt
ed if the nation would often decline
to act
Japan's Promise in Writing.
The president revealed that
Japan's promise to return Shantung
province to China was reduced to
written form in the minutes of the
peace conference He asserted he
had every confidence" that the
promise would be carried out and
told the senators it was "the best
that could be got' out of the nego-
tiations, Japan having given notice
she would withdraw from the con-
ference if her demands were re-
fused. The American delegates, he
said, had tried to keep the nation
free from obligations in European
affairs so for as it was honorably
possible to do So" but he asserted
that it might be necessary to keep
some American troops in the Rhine
district under the treaty for the next
IS years.
He declared the nation would be
its own sole Judge whether its obi
cations had been fulfilled under the
disputed withdrawal clause of the
league covenant; that purely domes-
tic questions were safe from the
leagues interference: and that the
Monroe doctrine was clearly pre-
served.
The league. the president ex-
planned, was built on the plan of
General Smuts of South Africa.

 The American people. through their Government, are to buy the railroads from the private owners and turn these proper ties over to the railroad employ ees to manage and operate. In consideration of an investment of approximately S20,000. 100000 the Government is to appoint one-third of the directors, and the public is to share in such sayings in the cost of operation as may remain after the employ ees have paid themselves what they thiI. k their services ought to be worth. The spirit in which the program is put forth may be inferred from a statement made, by B. M. Sewell, Acting Presi- dent of the Railroad Employees Department of the American Federation of Labor, in which. he said that if President Wilson s suggestion to Congress was car riod out we will tie up the rail roads so tight that they will nev- CT run again if that legislation is passed " It might have been Troizky himself speaking to bourgeoisie that had offered mild and academic objections to being despoiled.

 For three years the brother. hoods have assumed that the sovereign power was vested in them. and Congress has provided them with excellent reasons for that assumption. When the rail- road employees in the critical period of the summer of 1916 de- handed an eight-hour day and threatened general strike. President Wilson sent a message to Congress in which he urged that the eight-hour day be made the basis of work and wages, but he made four other proposals one of which called for
 An amendment to the existing Federal statute which provides for the mediation, equalization, and arbitration of such contro- versies as the present by adding to it a provision that in case the methods of accommodation now provided for should fail. a full public investigation of the merits of every such dispute should be instituted and com pleted before a strike or lockout may be lawfully attempted. r Congress refused to enact this legislation because the labor leaders objected to it, and now we have situation in which a labor leader can threaten to tie up the railroads so tight that they will never run again" if Congress presumes to pass an act to which the brotherhood au tocracy objects as unequal to it's imperative demands.
