And there, w here the question on which league opponents have ham m ered th e hardest, th a t of S han T ong— Is of m ost In te re s., th e president found the sam e enthusiasm am ong the peo ple for peace and for Insurance against future w ars. T he people w ant tho long controversy ended. They w ant this country to be able to again tu rn Its undivided atten tio n to social, economic and Indus’rial developm ent T heir leaders m ay not feel this way. but judging from th e expressions which met the president on every side. T he leaders have overstepped the lim it- of the peoples patience In th e ir stubborn déterm inatlon to force a change in th e g reat docum ent Must Take This League. “We m ust ta k e this League of N a tions,“ said the p re sid e n t “fo r there Is no way in which another can be obtained w ithout com pelling recon sideration by th e powers. And it v ould sit very ill upon my stom ach to take It back to G erm any for considera tion. ' “All over th e world people a re look ing to us with confidence our rivals along with th e w eaker nations. I pray God th a t the gentlem en who are de laying this thing m ay presently see It la a different lig h t” Germany, the president declared, Is taking new courage from our delay in ratifying the trea ty and h er new s paper« and public m en were again be coming arrogantly out-spoken. Deeply im pressive were the figures of the cost of th e late war, in lives and dollars. It was th e first tim e th a t the official sta tistics have been m ade pnbllo and the trem endous to tals ■hocked the p resident's audiences. Shows Cost of W orld W ar. “T he war." said P resident W ilson, cost G res' B ritain and and her Do m ains f 38,000,000,000 ; F rance |26,000„ 000,000; the United S tates $22,000,. 000,000; R ussia *18,000,000,000; Italy $13,000,000,000 and a total. Including the expenditures of Japan, Belgium an« other sm all countries, of $123,000,. C00,000. “It cost th e C entral Powers as fol lows: Germany $39,000,000,000; Aua- •rla-Hungary, $21.000,000.000; T urkey end Bulgaria $8,000,000,000. “T he United State*," th e president said, “spent one million dollars an hour night and day for two years In Its struggle to save civilization. All -this, however, fades Into Insigni ficance when th e d eath s by b a t'Is are considered,“ declared th e president.

Should Remember Recent H orrors. “T hese are terrible facts, and we ought never to forget them. We went Into this w ar to do a thing th a t was fundam ental for th e world and w hat I have come out on this Journey for is to determ ine w hether the country has forgotten or not. I have found out. The country has n o t forgotten and It will never perm it any who stands In the way of the fulfillm ent of oar g rea t pledges, ever to forget the sor rowful day he m ade the a tte m p t” A rbitration and discussion, the pres id e n t pointed ont, m ust replace force of arm s In th e settlem ent of world oonlrovende*. C onstantly he dw ells upon the fact th a t all the nations in the League agree to do one of two things, first to subm it th e ir differences to arbitratio n , in which case they a g re e to abide by the decision ren dered. or, If unw illing to arb itra te, to h av e th e ir case discussed by the Coun cil of the League, in which case six m onths is granted for discussion. T h ree m onths m ust elapse following th e resu lt of th is la st step In a rb itra tio n before the nation concerned can d ec la re war. Holde Out Hope for Ireland. T he president took advantage of q uestions propounded by the San Pran- clsco L abor Council to give the Infer •n e e th a t he believes Ireland can bring !her case before th e League of N atlone S o t se ttlem en t when th e League Is a c tu a lly In existence. Shan Tung, he declared, will be re tu rn e d to China. Jap an , he said, had given h e r solem n pledge to th a t effect.
