defRitely settled, they want no more

ti0ns, and most Of the American peo-
pIe, II may be fairly said, tell the
President they want the League just
Sas Il is, without the reservations or
amendments which certain senators
have insisted upon The majority of
jcitizens say to those who interview
khem On this tour:
Woodrow Wilson guided US rightly
before and dining the war with Ger
na1y, We eh6ered that war, every
oBe agrees, 10 end all wars. He says
a1s league cE-a do that. We want to
do dhat, so let US keep on trusting him
and get the league into operation as
Sooa as possible Forget politics"
Most Americans encountered on the
fOaT have forgotten politics. Repub-
1iezn Governors and Mayors have in
6roduced the President to his audi
eDces The Major part Of the local COM
Dittees which have met him have
been Republicans. They have all said:
we are nsEliag but Americans, Mr..
PrestdeRt"
Mr.. Wilson's arguments for the
1ezgue. briefly summarized, are those:
There can be no peace, either now
or In 1he future, without it. There
can Only be a Tegrouping of nations
and q rev Balance of Power" which
fs certain to lead to war. There can
be no war In the future, with the
league in existence, because no single
nation would defy the united rest of
mankind, and if it did, it could be
boycott, and without the use Of arms.
There can be no reduction In the
cost of living until the league is es-
kaidished, for nations will not go
tahead with peace time production un.
On rbey know that peace Is definitely
assured and that production of war
1azfa4s5 Is no longer necessary
There can be wonderful prosperity,
Nth tie league in existence, for rel.
Sfl1ns OF labor and capital all over
the world will be made closer and
more friendly, and the worker will re-
eefre a fairer share OF what he pro
duces
These declaration OF the president
