This is actually the. first time
in human history that that prin-
ciple was ever recognized, and yet
this is the fundamental Ameri-
can principle-the right of a peo-
pie who live in a country to say
what shall be done in that coun-
try.
Germany says that she made
mistake; we now want her to
prove it.
Some saw this treaty, is very
hard on Germany. The punish
ment is not more than it can en-
dure, and up to the point 1t can
bear, it must pay for the wrong
it has done.
The only choice is whether we
will 20 in now, or come in later
with Germany; whether we will
go in as founders OF this cove
nant of freedom, or among those
who are admitted after they have
made mistake and repented.
The heart Of that covenant is
that there shall be no war.
A reservation is an assent with
a big but
A nation can withdraw on two
years notice. Some want to SIT
close to the door with their
hands on the knobs.
We never would fail to tulhll
an international obligation and,
God guiding and helping US, we
never will.
We have always been at pains
to earn the respect OF mankind
and we shall always be at pains
to maintain it.

treaty. You can't sign all of the
treaty, but one part, as president
| must sign or. veto a bill. We can't
sign the peace treaty with the Shan
| tung provision out of it. \
Let me state the facts with
brutal frankness. England and
France were bound by solemn
treaty entered into before the war
to give Japan what it gets in the
treaty, Were it not for the Shan
tung clause in the peace treaty,
Japan would get all that Germany
had in Shantung, more than it will
set under the promise made to US
and made enforceable by the terms
OF the treaty regarding the league
of nations and its power to enforce
its findings. Japan promises and
we guarantee that the territorial in
tegrity and political independence
of China will be respected and pre-
served That is the best way to
serve China.
Cannot Rewrite Treaty.
"As | said few nights ago? We
cannot rewrite the treaty. We
must take it or leave it, 1t is
case of put up or shut UP.
rs is possible that there is
group of individuals in this country
who have conceived it as desirable
that the United States should exer-
else its power alone, should arm
for the purpose, should be ready
for the enterprise and should dom
mate the world by arms? We fought
the war to eliminate militarism and
Pan Germanism from the world.
Are we going to substitute for Pan
Germanism a sinister Pan Ameri-
canism? No man dare propose that
in plain words to any American
audience anywhere"
Says 1--WE Thank You"
Reservations such as are pro-
posed by certain group in the
United States senate are unneces-
sary. They will consider the receiv-
ing of the assent of every signatory
nation to the covenant. 1t means
merely this. we thank you for what
you have done for US and given us
in the peace treaty but we don't
like the language. We didn't ask
Germany's consent about the mean
ing of any one of the terms con-
tanned in this treaty when we were
in Paris. We merely told them
what they meant and said sign
here. Does any patriotic American
want that method changed?"
IF reservations are put into the
treaty all that the senate has writ
ten will have to go back for the con-
sent of Germany. Although am
not officially advised, learn from
the newspapers that those on the
other side of the water are not in
as good a humor as they might be.
Made Many Suggestions.
when | came back to beloved
America last March | discussed the
first draft of the peace treaty with
members of the foreign relations
committee and met with them one
evening. Many suggestions were
received from them. These ! took

Turning from the land grants and
the fixing Of boundaries OF the Eu-
ropean countries he again raised the
copy of the treaty and said:
"Prompt ratification of the
covenant is necessary so that uncer-
tainties in labor conditions through
out the world may be cleared up.
The international labor organization
to be set up under the treaty will
give to labor. every man, woman
and child. a new bill of rights" he
declared. The charter of the lib
erty for the working men OF the
world never has been dreamed of
before and there is only one way
to see to the enforcement of such
provisions and that is through the
league OF nations"
Alludes to Reservations.
For the first time since the COM
mencement of his trip, President
Wilson, alluded to the reservations
demanded by the foreign relations
committee of the United States SEN
ate.
"A reservation" said the presi.
dent, 'is an assent with big but.
We agree-'but.' The unconditional
reservation providing for the un-
conditional withdrawal OF the
United States at the end of two
years mean that its sponsors were
to sit near the door with their
hands on the knob, and if anything
is done they do not like, scutte and
