Little Joy or Exuberance.

There was little of worldwide joy
or exuberance evidenced by the men
who sat around the peace table. In
the past it has been customary to
exchange fluctuations with the en-
emy delegations. Nothing of the sort
was apparent today.
1t is generally accepted that the
German national assembly will ratify
the treaty at once in order that the
nation may get back to a peace ba-

Washington, June 2s. =
CA. P.)APresident Wilson, il
an address to the American peo
4 pie on the occasion of the sign
ling of the peace treaty, made {
|plea for the acceptance of tht
treaty and the covenant of the
league of nations withou
|change or reservation. His mes
|sage, given out here by Secre
|tary Tumulty, said:.
My fellow countrymen: The
treaty of peace has been signed.
If it Is ratified and acted upon in
full and sincere execution of its
terms, 1t will furnish the charter
for a new order of affairs in the
Fl world. 1t Is a severe treaty in
II the duties and penalties it inn
n poses upon Germany, but it is
severe only because great wrongs
Fl
righted and repaired; ii imposes
nothing that Germany cannot do;
and she can regain her rightful
standing in the world by the
prompt and honorable fulfillment
OF its terms. And it is much
more than a treaty of peace with
Germany. It liberates great peo-
pies who have never before been
able 70 find the way to liberty.
n II ends, once for all, an old and
intolerable order under which
small groups of selfish men could
use the peoples Of great empires
to serve their ambition for power
h and dominion. 1t associates the
free governments of the world in
a permanent league in which they
are pledged to use their united
power to maintain peace by main
tanning right and justice. It
makes international law real
ity supported by imperative
sanctions. 1t does away with the
right of conquest and rejects the
policy of annexation and sub
stitutes a new order under which
backward nations-population
n litical consciousness, and peoples
who are ready for independence
but not yet quite prepared to dis
pense with protection and guild
ance-shall no more be subjected
to the domination and exploit
tation of a stronger nation, but
shall be put under the friendly
direction and afforded the help
fu1 assistance of governme IS
which undertake to be respon
sible to the opinion of mankind
in the execution of their task by
accepting the direction of the
league of nations. 1t recognizes
the inalienable rights of nation
ality, the rights of minorities and
the sanctity of religious belief
and practice. It lays the basis
for conventions which shall free
the commercial intercourse of the
world from unjust and veXatious
restrictions and for every sort of
international cooperation that
will serve to cleanse the life of
the world and facilitate its COM
mon action in beneficent service
OF every kind. 1t furnishes guar
antees such as were never given
or even contemplated for the
fair treatment of all who labor at
daily tasks of the world.
at is for this reason that l
have spoken of it as a great
charter for a new order of af-
fairs. There is ground here for
deep satisfaction, universal re-
assurance and confident hope.
