EX- GOV. DENEEN
FAVORS LEAGUE OF
NATIONS And LIKES
LAKELAND SECTION

Ex-Gov. Chas. Deeneen of Illinois
who is wintering in Lakeland, spent |
yesterday in Tampa, and of his visit
and views on national matters this |
mornings Tampa Tribune says:
The greatest opportunity which has |
ever faced the world is before the
peace conference at Paris, and thin, |
all good men will agree that IL sat-
isfactory solution Of the League of
Nations problem can be worked out
L. will be the greatest achievement In
history said Ex-Governor Charles S.
Deneen of Illinois at the Hillsboro
last night.
Commenting on the work which
President Wilson has accomplished
Mr. Deenen said:
81 think he has done remarkably
well for one man, but it is my BELIEF
that if he had appointed commission
consisting of several of the strongest
members of each of the two big po-
litical parties to accompany him to
Europe, the sentiment Of the Con-
gress of the nation would have been
more solidly behind him. In this way
he would have taken the question en-
tirely out of politics, and / believe
that public opinion would have crys-
tallized much more quickly. If the
senate should refuse to criticise the
proposed League Of Nations, and then
at the last moment turn down the
proposition it would cause great
deal of trouble The Senate has
: equal powers with the President as
regards treaty-making. and as the
. President has not taken 1t into his
confidence the only thing which re.
mains, to be done is for the senators
r to discuss the league. In this way
; the people of this country and CT the
. other nations are kept informed.
Regarding the possible Republic
an candidate for President in 1920 i
is too early to express an opinion,
continued Mr.. Deneen when the re
porter asked that question. 1T Is m.
belief that men will be tried out b,
the emergencies and issues which ar
to come to the front during the mex
few months, and particularly afte
the peace treaty is signed. Governo

Versailless, Hay 7-(By the Assoc

told of the terms upon which the AL
lied and associated powers will make
peace with her The terms are con
tanned in the treaty of some eighty
thousand words which was handed to
the Germans at a memorable assem-

twenty seven nations which are par
ties to the peace pact.
The treaty, it is noted, has to do

as it is required that she accept
agreements made by the Allies with
thu other Central powers
The treaty is not printed in Ger
man, the text being in French, with
English on the opposite pages. The
terms of the treaty spell the end of
Germany as military power. She
is delivered virtually of all her fleet.
Her army is cut down to nominal pro-
portions, and she is sharply restrict
ed along lines brought where she
might see and work miltarily to re-
habilitate herself.
Economically also the future course
of Germany is hedged about with sti-
pulations intended to insure her abil-
ity to pay the indemnity demanded
