cred many of the same points he dis
cussed in his previous addresses He
referred to the treaty as one of the
greatest documents in human history
He said it was "shot through" with
American principles, put there by
common consent of the world. One of
the things America has had in heart
throughout her whole existence, said
the President, was that arbitration
and consultation should be substitut-
ed for force. This is accomplished,
he declared, by the League of Nations
covenant
The people, the President said, have
been mislead about the treaty by the

instrument, he continued then they

assured under the cvoenant, the
President said. adding that this
principle previously had been
written into thirty arbitration trea-
ties all of which were cnofirmed by
the United States senate.
He declared the principles of the
league already have been adopted

imposed on the covenant treakers
was emphasized by the President as
constituting a measure more effective
than any military force. He also
declared effective disarmament would
be effected under the covenant.

We have also-and think this is
the greatest of all duties-to fulfil our
promise to nberate the small peoples
of Europe, not merely as an act OF
Justice, not merely as piece OF char
ity, but as the sole permanent guar
antee against the return of Germany
to her old pathways. II we leave the
doors to India and to Asia Minor open
to the Germans, there Is certainly
nothing in human history to suggest
that the Germans will not seek to
tread those pathways. II we leave
Germany opportunity and ability 10
realize the dreams she narrowly es-
capped and realizing in this last war,
we shall fail at Paris and the Ger
man will after all win the war. He
will find himself in the br1efest pc
Rod Of years greater than ever be-
fore, having added millions to his pop
ulation by his attack upon civilization
and having successfully abolished the
obstacles to his eastern expansion.
It seems to me that these are cir
cumstances which must be In the
minds of Americans now in the diff
cult weeks which are before the Paris
Conference, and it seems to me that
the key to the whole thing must be
found in the fact, the incontestable
fact, that up to the present moment
Germany has won the war and that
the main purpose Of the Paris Con-
ference must be to deprive her Of the
fruits of that victory.

can give them necessary conditions or

mination Of race with due regard to
geographical and economic considera-
lions. we shall be able to deprive the
German of his victory. He will find
himself confronted not by the debris
Of half a dozen quarrelling races, but
by four or five healthy, growing
states, available as allies of the West
ern powers in defence of their exist
ence and In the preserving Of the free
dom of Europe.
And in the presence OF such obsta-
cles, perhaps it is not too much to
hope the German people themselves
will hesitate to permit their rulers to
plunge them into new war. The
core of imperialism, after all, is the
cost of 1t. The cause OF Imperialism
is invariably the presence OF opportu-
nifty II eighty millions Of Germans
and their pathway to the East strewn
with the wreckage OF Quarrelling
tribes, If the road to India has nothing
across 1t save an incoherent Polish
state and vast Russian chaos, il the
pathway to the Gold en- Horn Is barred
only by mutilated Southern Slavdom,
the League Of Nations will not serve
az q barrier. The abstract principles
written there will no more appeal to
Germans in the next decade than alb
stract doctrines formulated by the
Hague Tribunal closed the pathway
through Belgium. We have then at
Paris two very clear duties still to
perform We have to make Germany
bear the burden. the financial burden,
of her last attack in order that she
may not. escaping the cost Of the war,
be able to concentrate her remaining
resources on preparation for a new
attack upon those nations staggering
under the burden of their debts and
capable of paying those debts and
matching division with division and
gun with gun along the Rhine.
