President Wilson in
 The Twin Cities
Declares Treaty Would Be Ad- vantageous to All Nations, Rather Than a Few of the Stronger.

Minneapolis, Minn.. Sept. s.-De- claring that the peace treaty would end the regime of the balance of pow CT, President Wilson told crowd in the Minneapolis Armory today that the new world order set up would be to the advantage of all nations ra- ther than a few of the stronger. The presidents party motored over from St. Paul where he had spoken earlier in. the day. He was escorted through the Minneapolis streets be- tween crowds that lines both side walks and kept up a wave of cheer ing.
 Under the old balance of power, said the president, the people mo- where dared speak out against au- tocracy against the burden of arm ament- Bat now, he continued. the people were awake and had deter mined that If the governments can't get together they will destroy the gov ernments.''
 The people of the world" said MT. Wilson, are tired of every other kind of experiment except the kind we're going to try. The world has turned corner that it's not going to turn again.
 To destroy autocratic power. MT. Wilson continued, was the object of the war. yet, he said, an autocratic government as cruel as that of the ear had been set up in Russia and the United States must sec to it that there was no similar movement in the United States.
 We will brook the control of no mi nority in the United States" he add ed, T would as leave serve one kind of an autocracy as another.
 When Mir. Wilson said another great war would come if there were no con- certed movement, to preserve peace under American leadership. some one in the gallery shouted Amen
 The president said the league of na- tions provided for the destruction of autocratic power by admitting only lf-governing nations to the league.
 Had you ever been told that be- fore ?" asked the president and there was a chorus of noes and cheers.
 For another thing. continued the president, the treaty provided to sub force, td an absolute boycott" against covenant breakers The peace of the world. he said, would thus be placed under constant international supervision.
 "The peace of the world is every body's business" said MT. Wilson, and this is the first international document that has recognized that fact
 That there should be disarmament and that no nation ever should again attempt annexation were further points in the treaty con tinued the presid ent. sAThere were more cheers when he said it was provided further that no secret treaty should be valid.
 Secret treaties, said the president, were a constant source of embarrass- ment at Versailles. Yet. he continued, the war, had been fought on the prin- ciple of the sanctity of treaties and it was impossible to disregard the secret a agreements.
 Finally. said MT. Wilson. there was in the treaty a great bill of rights for Ia Dor, establishing an international la Dor rganizat ton to keep up labor standards.
 Of course. the president said. the United States was "at liberty" to stay out of the league, but asked whether it would be better to go in as trust cd partners or stay out and act as rivals.
 We've got to be either provincials, or statesmen; we've got to be either ostriches or eagles said the presi- dent, adding that he meant by os- triches those who submerged their apparatus in the sand"
 President Wilson concluded his ad- dress shortly before four o'clock and received al ovation as he left the ar rnOry.
