The point is that the United States is
the only nation which has sufficient

to guarantee the substitution of dis
cussion for war. If we keep out of
this agreement, if we do not give our

Il do not believe that this is what

the first that the overwhelming ma
jority of the people of this country de-

Gently been confirmed by the unms-
evidence of public opinion given

have. endeavored to make it plain that
if the senate wishes to say what this
meaning of the league is, |
shall have no objection. There can be
no reasonable objection to interpreta-
ton accompanying the act of ratifica-
ton itself. But when the treaty is
acted upon, / must know whether it
means that we have ratified or rejected
it. We cannot rewrite this treaty. We
must take it without changes which
alter its meaning or leave it. and then
after the rest of the world has signed
it, we must face the unthnkable task |
Of making another and separate kind of
treaty with Germany. But no mere as
sertions with regard to the wish and
opinion of the country are credited.
eff there is any doubt as to what
the people of the country think on
this vital matter, the clear and
single way out is to submit it for
determination at the next election
to the voters of the nation, to give
the next election the form of a

desire OF the American government
for changes in the plan OF the

lieve that such changes could be
made by reservations such as were

would be necessary requiring the

Another matter that will engage
