Prefer to Play a Lone Hand

bodied the important things omitted
by the resolution and said that by re-
jecting the treaty the United States

"to draw apart and pursue objects and
interests of our own"
''Such peace with Germany" the
message continued, ga peace in which
none of the essential interests which
we had at heart when we entered the
war is safeguarded-is, or ought to be
is inconsistent with the
dignity of the United States with the
rights and liberties of aer citizens and
with the very fundamental conditions
Of civilization"

resolution omitted mention of many
important objects for the vindication
IF which the United States entered
