PRESIDENT SAYS CARRY TREATY
INTO PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN

aHect settlement and bring about
arrangements Of peace which they
have now tried to formulate in the
treaty of Versailles. They are en-
titled to our support in this settle
ment and the arrangements for which
they have striven.
"The league Of nations is the hope
Of the world. AS basis for the arm
istice, I was authorized by all tho
great fighting nations to say to the
enemy that it was our object in pro-
posing peace to establish a general
association Of nations under specific
covenants for the purpose Of affording
mutual guarantee, Of political inde-
pendence and territorial integrity to
great and small states alike, and the
covenant of the league Of nations is
the deliberate ebodiment Of that pur-
pose in the treaty Of peace.
"The chief motives which led us
to enter the war will be defeated
/ unless that covenant Is ratified and
acted upon with vigor. We cannot
in honor whittle it down Or weaken
it as the Republican leaders of The
senate have proposed to do if we are
to exercise the kind of leadership to
which the founders of the Republic
Cooked forward and they depended
upon their SUCCESSORS to establish, We
must do this thing with courage and
unalterable determination. They OK
pccted the United States to be always
| the leader in the defense Of lib
crty and ordered peace throughout
the world and we are unworthy 70
call ourselves their successors unless
we fulfill the great purpose they en-
tertained and proclaimed.
THE true Americanism, the only

America at the front Of free nations
and redccms the great promises which

should be in the counsels of mankind
SHE cannot afford to sink into the

pied and become merely one of those
who scramble and look about for sell

Washington, May "a call to the
democratic party to go into the cam
paign standing four square in favor
OF the treaty of Versailles and against
the senate's reservations was issued
tonight by President Wilson in tele-
gram to Oregon Democratic leaders
made public at the White House.
Declaring that the party had tho
honor Of the nation" in IT'S hands, the
president said that the Lodge rescr-
Vations were utterly Inconsistent"
with that honor as we'll as destructive
OF the role OF world leadership which
the United States must assume.
The only true Amoricanism, the
President said was that which %puts
America in the front with free ma
tions and redeems the great promises
which we made to the world" 1t
would be violation of such premises.
ne said, to attach reservations to the
treaty which 'whittle it down or
weaken it as the Republican, leaders
OF the senate have proposed to do"
The telegram was in response to
the NfolTowing message from G. Ei.
Hamaker, Of Portland, Oregon, chair
man of the Nrultonomah County
Democratic central committee:
Primary election May twenty first.
Please wire whether you consider 1t
important to nominate candidates
pledged to ratify Versailles treaty
without Lodge reservations"
The reply of the president follows:
II think it imperative that the
party should at once proclaim itself
the uncompromising champion of the
nation shonor and the advocate OF
everything that the United States can
do in the service Of humanity, that
it should therefore endorse and sup
port the Versailles treaty and con
dcmn the Lodge reservations as ut
terly inconsistent with the nations
honor and destructive OF the world
leadership which it had established
and which all the free peoples Of the
world, including the great powers
themselves. had shown themselves
ready to welcome.

avow that it means to try, without
ilinching or turnign at any time away
from the path for reasons OF expo
