OMISSIONS IN RESOLUTION
In Rejecting the Treaty We Put the
World on Notice That We Would
Prefer to Play a Lone Hand

Washington. The Republican
peace resolution was ve.oed by Presi
dent Wilson.
Such method OF making peace
with Germany, the president said
would place an ineffaceable stain up
on the gallantry and honor of the
United States
Without announcing his intention
regarding the treaty Of Versailles, the
president declared that the treaty EN-
bodied the important things omitted
by the resolution and said that by re-
jecting the treaty the United States
had declared in effect that it wished
ito draw apart and pursue objects and
interests of our own"
Such a peace with Germany" the
message continued, "a 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
inconceivable, is inconsistent with the
dignity of the United States with the
rights and liberties of her citizens and
with the very fundamental conditions
of civilization"
The president added that the peace
resolution omitted mention of many
important objects for the vindication
of which the United States entered
the war
