"How Ion; shall ws be kept waltlnir
for the answer whether the world will
trust us or despise mr he continued.
"The world stands annoyed because an
authority In America hesitates whether
it will endorse an American doctrine."
ladutrial Qaeetloaa Walt.
, ini presiaent said he had not been
able to work out the solution of rail
way problems until he knew when i
peace basis came. The conference of
labor and capital In Washing-ton next
month, he continued, also would hay
its deliberations affected by the an
swer to their question. "Labor all
oTer the world is waiting." he asserted,
"to see whether the United States ac
cepted the treaty's provision for an In
ternational labor organisation."
The United States, said the president.
could not participate In the world labor
conference to be held In Washington
soon under the treaty unless the treaty
was accepted by this country. Such
condition would be "inconceivable." he
added, and would lead to the "greatest
mortification."
"The world is waiting." said the
president, "to see. not whether we will
take part, but whether we will take
the lead."
Mr. Wilson said ha had been "an
noyed to see that the statesmanship of
some arentlemen consists in the very
Interesting; proposition of doing noth
ing at alL I have heard of standing
pat before, but I never heard of stand
patism arolnsT to that length."
Selfish Pollry Seored.
The fathers of the republic. Mr. Wil
son said, intended to set up a stand
ard to which the world would come for
liberty. From all nations, he continued,
men had come by millions.
Opponents of the lesgue. the presi
dent asserted, were saying "yes. we
made a great promise to the world, but
It'll cost too much to redeem it." If
by deliberate choice the United States
became a rival and antagonist of her
neighbors instead of their friend, said
the president, then it would reap the
same reward as a business man who
proceeded on that basis. If the United
States tried to get all it could selfish
ly, he continued, then the world would
see that It got nothing at all.
Just as American soldiers restored
the morale of the'fighting peoples of
the allies, said the president, so the
United States now could restore the
peace morale of the world. It was the
people themselves, he said, who In the
end would determine what course the
United States would take.
"They are my bosses." he said. "I
have come out on this journey not to
fight anybody, but to report to you."
Peace Made Astrrlrss Plaa.
The peace, Mr. Wilson asserted, had
been made .oa "American specifica
tion." Among these specifications, he
said, was the establishment of Poland,
and the other new mid-European na
tions which now separated Germany
from the pathway of empire she ex
pected to establish to the southeast.
"Are you going to Institute a move
against France and England and Japan
to get Shantung back for China?" asked
the president. ,
On the contrary, he added, establish
ing the league then would be a power
to which China could appeal for fu
ture justice.
Mr. Wilson also discussed article 10
and the league covenant under which
pan-Germanism and similar plans
would be "torn up by the roots."
Of the ultimate outcome regarding
the treaty, Mr. Wilson said he had no
doubt.
"The only thins that can be accom
plished." be said, "is delay. The ulti
mate outcome would- be the triumphant
acceptance of the ireetty and the
league."
Oaly Haadfal Opsooiag.
Only a "handful of men," the presi
dent said.' were opposing the treaty.
and they either hadn't read it or did
not understand the English language.
The Monroe doctrine provision, he
said, had been objected to as vague,
because It referred to "such regional
understandings as the Monroe doc
trine." This language was written, the
president said, "in perfect innocence."
and was intended to give right of way
to the Monroe doctrine in the western
hemisphere.
The language was put in, he con
tinued, because the other delegates
thought it unwise to make a specific
reference to a policy of one country
without leaving the way open for other
nations to develop similar policies in
their own localities.
Turning to the economic boycott pro
vided against covenant breakers. Mr.
Wilson said no nation in Europe could
stand under such a boycott for six
months.
"Tet we are told this is a covenant
of war." he continued. "It Is the most
drastic covenant of peace ever con
ceived. "The processes of discussion are the
processes of peace."
got the president and Mrs. Wilson te
sign their roster, and Mrs. Wilson was
presented with a basket of roses.
After the train left the station It had
to atop In the railroad yards to take on
water for the engtne and the president
shook hands with a number of railroad
yardmen.
With their rrlmv hands they showed
some hesitation,. but the president smil
ingly urged them to come forward, and
he gave earh a hearty clasp.
Many children, white and negroes,
were on hand and were lifted up to the
rail, where the president could shake
them by the hand.
The president seemed to enjoy a par
ticularly black pickaninny and Its
mammy, who. fighting her wsy through
the crowd, got within reach of the rail.
"Hello. little one." ne said, taxin
hold of a chubby and very dirty hand.
"I am rlad to see you.
Another youngster struggled through
and presented Mrs. Wilson with a bou
quet of sweet pess. Her face wreathed
in smiles. Mrs. Wilson expressed hef
appreciation.
One of the "movie" men accompany
ing the presidential party got an un
expected chance for a "close up" of
the president w.ien Secretary Tumulty
helped boost him over trie rati to me
platform to take In the surging crowd.
After training his camera on the
crowd the operator turned and got a
(rood picturs of the president as ha
stood chatting.
"Here, stop that!" Mr. Wilson said.
gccd-naturedly. "You must not so that
behind a man's back." He then came
over and patted the "movie" operator
on the back.
All along the route patriotic decora
tions were much in evidence. On the
slope of a railway cut near St. Joseph
a family of country people had taken
vantage point to catch a glimpse of
the president, one of the men strug
gling to hold an eight-foo American
flag in a stiff breeze and all the others
waving smaller flags as the presiden
tial special rolled by. Mr. Wilson spent
a part of the afternoon In the club car,
where he talked over points In his
speeches with the newspaper corre
spondents. He said he was satisfied
with the treaty situation In the senate
and was enjoying the trip.

KANSAS CITY. Mo, Sept. . Presi
dent Wilson appealed to a Kansas City
crowd today to support the peace
treaty as a charter for a new order ol
world affalra. .
Making . his third speech for the
treaty in Missouri to a capacity audi
ence. President Wilson spoke in Con
vention hall, said to accommodate IS.
000. His train arrived from St. Louis
at 1:05 o'clock this morning.
Led by the Seventh Regiment band,
three companies of troops and the ma
chine gun battalion, the party left
Union station In automobiles shortly
after the arrival of the special train.
President and Mrs. Wilson, with Gov
ernor Frederick D. Gardner and Mayor
James Cowgill of Kansas City, were in
the first car.
The route of parade was lined with
people, and as the president ap
proached, there were frequent out
bursts of cheering.
The parade passed up Grand avenu
and through the central part of the
business section to Convention hall.
Two Immense flags had been arranged
into a false ceiling and balconies were
draped with bunting and flags. Fifteen
thousand small flags were distributed
as the crowd poured into the hall.
The doors of the hall were opened at
i o'clock, but for several hours a crowd
had been waiting for entrance. Half
an hour after the doors were opened
every seat was filled and the crowd
was still pouring, seeking available
standing room.
When the president, accompanied by
Mrs. Wlllson, appeared on the plat
form of the vast auditorium, the crowd,
each of whom had a small American
flag, arose and cheered for more than
two minutes.
President Wilson had been cheered as
the presidential party paraded through
four miles of the city's streets to Con
vention hall.
Mr. Wilson was introduced by B. A.
Parsons, president of the Kansas City
chamber of commerce.
One section of th hall was reserved
for a large number of Missouri's war
heroes who applauded vigorously Presi
dent Wilson's references to the pre
vention of future wars.
One of th things America had had
In heart throughout her whole exist
ence, said the president, was that arbi
tration and consultation should be sub
stituted for - force. This was accom
plished, he declared, by the league of
nations covenant.
Arbitration Principle Adopted.
Nine months of discussion of any in
ternational controversy would be as
sured under the covenant, he asserted,
adding that this principle previously
had been written into 30 arbitration
treaties, "all of which were confirmed
by the United States senate." The prin
ciple of the league, he declared, already
had been adopted by the United States.
Effective disarmament would be ac
complished under the covenant, Mr.
Wilson predicted.
"There is no other way to dispense
with great armaments without, an
agreement by the great nations of' the
world," said Mr. Wilson, "and here is
the agreement."
Autocracy would perish with mili
tarism, added the president, end the in
trigue which had terrorised Europe for
generations would be ended. He de
clared that "democracies will sooner
or later have to destroy that kind of
government, and if we don't do it njw
the job will still be before us" This
task, he continued, must be carried to
the extent that no minority anywhere
could control the majority.
RuAla Ruled by 34 Redd.
"The men who now control the af
fairs of Russia." said Mr. Wilson, "rep
resent nobody but themselves. They
have no kind Of mandate. There are
only 34 of them. I am told. There is
a closer monopoly of power in Mos
cow than there ever was in Wilhelm
strasse. And a man more oruel than
the czar is controlling the destinies of
that people.
"And if we 'don't-want little groups
of selfish men to plot the future of
Europe then we must see to It that
little groups of selfish men do not plot
the future of the United States."
