COAST TO COAST U. S. FOR LEAGUE MILLIONS ACCLAIM WILSON HE SPEEDS ACROSS THE LAND. AS FE W ASK FOR CHANGES Majority Feel That President's Guid­ ance Should Be Held— He Regards Pact As Sure to Come Sion. (By ML Clemens News Bureau) Aboard President Wilson's Special Train —From the Capital at Washing­ ton to the far Pacific coast the Presi­ dent of the United States has jour­ neyed on the most unusual exp >ditioc erer undertaken by a chief executive of the nation. To discuss national questions, many pr-sidents have toured the land; but Mr. Wilson is laying before America a question which affects the whole world— the question of whether or not we are to Join in the League of Na­ tions; whether we are to forget our former isolation and share with the other peoples of the ear:h the respon­ sibilities of maintaining civilisation and preventing, as he says we can do. future warfare. Between the capital and .he coast the president made fifteen speeches and half a dozen brief talks. All of 100,000 fellow citlrm s listened to him. Several millions had the chance to see him. and apparently everyone wanted to see him. from those who thronged the streets of the cities and towns where he stopped, to those who came to the rallside or stood at little flag stations in remote places, knowing their only reward could be a fleeting glimpse and a wave of the hand. He has met and talked to all types of citizens— to men big in the busi­ ness, inancial 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 Na­ tions. and most of the American peo­ ple. It may be fairly said, tell the President they want the League just as 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. W e entered that war. every­ one agrees, to end all wars. He says the league can do thaL W'e want to do that, so let us keep on trusting him and get the league Into operation as soon as possible, fo rget politics.” Most Americans encountered on the tour have forgotten politics Repub lican Governors and Mayors have In­ troduced the President to his audi­ ence; the Major part of the local com­ mittees which hare met him have been Republicans. They have all said: "W e are nothing 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 a regrouping of nations and a new "Balance of Power,” which it certain to 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 if it did, it cculd be biought to terms by an economic boycott, and without, the use of arms. There can be no reduction in the cost of living until the league is es­ tablished, for nations will not go ahead with peace time production un­ til they know that peace is definitely assured and that production of war material is no longer necessary. Thera can be wonderful prosperity, with league In existence, for rel­ ations of labor and capital all over the world will be made closer and more friendly, and the worker will re­ ceive a fairer share of what he pro­ duce«. These declaration of the president, logically and eloquently put, have left bU hearers thinking and thinking deeply. And then Mr. Wilson has pointed out, the people themselves, as differentiated from senators «Old politi­ cians, seem to want Just what the president wants, which is America for leadership Quite an unusual as the purpose of the cross country tour is the manner in which It is being carried out and the completeness of the arrange­ ments on the nine car train which 1« bearing the party.
