with the villagers who pressed forward
to greet him. He feels and does not
hesitate to say so when chatting with,
his travelling companions, that the
American people want no more of wal
and want to become part of the league
so that there may be no more war. He
struck the keynote when he said in Ills
first address. in Columbus, Ohio:

"As said, this treaty was not in

intended to prevent any similar war.

a League of Nations would have pre-
vented the late conflict, the President
asserted, explaining:
II did not meet II single public man
who did not admit these things: That
Germany would not have gone into this
war II she thought Great Britain was
going into 1t, and that she most GER
tninly would never have gone into it
hnd she dreamed America was going
into 1t. And they ali admit TINT y no

ers of the world would combine to pre-
vent this sort Of thing would preventf
1t absolutely"
He pointed out other important fea-
lures Of the peace treaty. how 1t was
tho redemption of weak nations. giving
them freedom which otherwise they
never could have won; how 1t says,
"ThoSe people have right to live
their own lives under governments
which they themselves choose" and
how "thnt is the American principle
and I was glad to fight for it. That
was the very heart OF the treaty." he
said.
He drew attention TO the section of
the treaty which it Magma Charta Of

in the circumstances of tn cir lives"
In conclusion. the President sad he
felt certain the treaty Will he accepted,
md was ONLY impatient of the delay.
He added: "DO you realize, my fellow
citizens, .that the whole world is watt
ing on America? The only country in
the world that is trusted today is the
United States, and the world S waiting
to see If its trust is justified"
