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

•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

ficance
when

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

!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

given h e r solem n pledge to th a t effect.
And with the L eague of N ations In

.occasion arises, stand forth end say,
"T his shell be done.”
