in the covenant of the league of ma
tions, they have discussed three
chiefly three-out of twenty-six ar
ticles, and the other articles con-
tain this heart of the matter-that
instead of war there shall be arbitra
ton; instead Of war there shall be
discussion; instead of war there
shall be the closure of intercourse;
that instead of war there shall be
the irresistible pressure Of the opin-
ion of all mankind.
~ need not tell YOU that speak
with knowledge in this natter
knowledge of the purpose of the men
with whom the men representing
America were associated at the peace
table. Everyone consulted with
came there with the same idea, that
wars had arisen in the past because
the strong had taken advantage Of
the weak, and that the only way TO
stop war was 10 band ourselves to-
gether to protect the weak
"And so. when you read the cove
nant, read the treaty with it.
Il have no doubt that in this au-
dlence there are many men who come
from that ancient stock of Poland,
for examples men in whose blood
there is the warmth of old affections
connected with that betrayed and
ruined country; men whose memories
run back to insufferable wrongs
endured by those living in that coun-
try, and | call them to witness that
Poland never could have won unity
and independence by herself These
gentlemen sitting at Paris presented
Poland with a unity she could not
have won, and an independence which
she cannot defend, unless the world
guarantees it to her

Il was recalling, my fellow citi-
zons, the circumstances which began
the terrible conflict that has just
been concluded.
so soon as the unconscionable de-
mands of Austria were made on
Serbia. the Other governments Of
Europe sent tclegraphic messages to
Berlin and Vienna asking that the
matter be brought into q conference.
And the significant circumstance of
the beginning of this war is that the

the respect for that covenant on the

upon us to take that advice, except
the compulsior of our good conscience
and judgment. 50 that it is perfectly

accepted the advice we would be ac-

not tell you that the representatives
of the government of the United
States would not vote without instruc-

and that what We united in advising
we could be certain that our people
would desire to do.

$50 that what it is important for
US to remember is that when we
sent those boys in khaki across the
sea we promised them, we promised
the world that we would not con-
clude this conaic, with mere
treaty Of peace. We entered into
solemn engagements with all the
nations with whom we associated
ourselves that we would bring about
such a kind of settlement and such
a consort of the purpose Of nations
that wars like this could not again
occur.
"It this war has to be fought over
again then all our high ideals and
purpose have been disappointed, for
we did not 60 into this war merely
to beat Germany. We went into this
war to beat all purposes such as
Germany entertained.

countrymen. to have a very great
pleasure Of welcoming on this side
of the sea the Queen and King Of
Belgium. And l. for one, am per
fectly sure that We are going to
make il clear to them that we have
not forgotten the violation of Bel
GUM; that we have not forgotten the
intolerablc wrongs which were put
upon that suffering people. l have
seen their devastated country Where
i. was not actually laid in ruins
every factory was gutted of its con-
tents; all the machinery BY which
it would be possible for men to go to

those parts Of the machinery that
they could not take away were de-
stroyed by experts VINO knew how to
destroy them.

"And | want you to realize that
this war was won not only by the
armies of the world, but it was won
by economic means as we'll. Without
the economic means the war would
have been much longer continued.
What happened was that Germany
was shut off from the economic re-
sources of the rest Of the globe. and
she could not stand it; and nation
that is boycotted is nation that
is in sight of surrender. Apply this

The bringing about of an agreement

Paris, March 12th-"We have reached
a crisis in the affairs of the world, said
United States Secretary of State Lansing
at banquet given last night by the in
ter-Allied Press Club in honour of the
American Peace Commissioners. Mr..
Lansing was emphatic in his statement
that the Allies must feed Germany and
give the Germans opportunity to sell
their products in the foreign markets, if
the danger of Bolshevism was to be avert
ed. He pointed out that it was not
through pity for Germany, but to the
Allies own advantage to see that anarchy
was prevented in the former German
Empire. "Isay to you men of the Allied
Powers that there is no time to be lost if
we are to save the world from the des-
potism of anarchy, said Mr.. Langsing,
even as have saved it from the despot-
ism of %autocracy. We ought to make,
we must make peace without delay, and
ships laden with food must enter the
harbours of Germany. We have reach
ed a crisis in the affairs of the world.
We must get in without passion, and
without permitting our judgement to be
warped by a natural and unavoidable
desire for vengeance on a nation which
has committed such atrocities as those
the Germans have committed.
Berlin, March 10th.--The industrial
league of Germany has been organized
with a fund of fifty million marks for
the purpose of fighting B~olshevism, &C
cording to information reaching the AS
ISOLATED Press. Of this sum the great
Berlin plants contributed five million
marks.
Paris, March 18th. When the time
for the signing of the Peace Treaty ar
rives, it is understood Germany's repre-
sentatives will be housed in one of the
palaces at Versailles and will not BE- per-
mitted to enter Paris, as the French Gov
eminent does not care to undertake to
afford protection to Germans in Paris.
While the German signatories will not
actually be prisoners and must not be
treated as such, public sentiment against
Germany is so high in Paris that the
Govt. is unwilling to risk unpleasant in

Paris, March 12th.-Rec )mmendation
that the navigation of the Rhine be open
ed to all nations without discrimination
was made in a report to the Peace Con
ference by the commission on the inter-
national regime of waterways, railways
and ports. 1t is suggested that the Rhine
be controlled by a commission similar to
the Danube Commission. The status Of
the Kiel Canal has been settled by the
commission on the basis Of the freedom
of use for all nations for merchant YES
sells or warships in time of peace. The
Canal would continue under German
ownerships and operation. The ques-
ton of the fortification is left by the
Commission to the decision of military
and naval experts. The report of the
commission was not favourable to al
lowing the Belgian claim that special
duties be imposed on German vessels.
The report further recommended that
a general conference be held within a
year to deal with all questions pertain
ing to the navigation Of international
waterways which are regarded as too
intricate or complex to be settled finally
within the limited life of the-Neace Con-
ference.
