neyed on the most unusual expedition
ever undertaken by q chief executive
of the nation.
To discuss national questions. many
presidents have toured the land; but
MIR. Wilson is laying before America
question which effects the whole
world-the question OF whether or not
We are to Join In the League Of Ma
tions; whether we are to forge, our
former isolation and share with the
other peoples Of the earth the respon-
abilities Of maintaining civilization
and preventing, as he says we can do,
future warfare.
Between the capital and the coast
the president made fifteen speeches
and half dozen brief talks. All OF
100000 fellow citiz-ns listened to him.
Several millions had the chance to see
him, and apparently everyone vented
to see him. from those who througed
the streets Of the cities and towns
where he storped, to those who came
to the railsi or stood at little tag
stations In remote places. knowing
their only reward could be a feeting

He has mot and talked to all types
Of citizens-to men big in the busi-
ness, financial and professional worlds,
to farmers and mechanical workers.
to Indians and cowboys and foreign
born herders and rangers, to soldiers
and to mothers who lost soldier-sons
In the late war.
What do they all tell him? unani-
mously they say they want peace
definitely settled, they want no more
wars. they want the League Of Ma
tions, and most Of the American peo-
pie. 1t may be fairly said, tell the
President they want the League Just
a. It is. without the reservations or
amendments which certain senators
have insisted upon. The majority Of
citizens say to those who interview
them on this tour:
Woodrow Wilson guided us rightly
before and during the war with Ger.
many. We entered that war. every
one agrees. to end all wars. He says
the league can do that. We want to
do that, 80 let Us keep on trusting him
and get the league into operation as
soon a. possible. Forget politics."
Most Americans encountered on the
tour have forgotten politics. Repub-
lican Governors and Mayors have In
troduced the President to his audi
enos; the Major part Of the local COM
mittees which have met him have
been Republicans. They have al said:
I'VE are nsthing but Americans. Mr..
President"
Mr.. Wilson's arguments for the
league. briefly summarized, are those:
There can be no peace, either now
or In the future, without It. There
can only be q rsgrouping Of nations
and Z new Balance Of Power" which
10 certain I'd 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 II II did. It could be
Brought to terms BY an economic
boycott, and without the use Of arms.
There can be no reduction in tho
cost Of living until the league is e.

There can b wonderful prosperity,

These declaration Of the president,
logically and sloQusntly put, have left
his hearers thinking and thinking
