HUNS REJOICE AT TREATY WRANGLE, WILSON DECLARES Statement of German Official That Dissension in America Like Red That Precedes Dawn, Quoted. PRO-TEUTONS ARE PLEASED President Asserts Ones Princi pally Gratifiedat Debate Were Partisans of. Enemy Country. (Continued From Fu. One) could say to the congress of the United States, "Hera is a war and here is where you come In." "All the nations agree to register their treaties and agree that no treaty that is riot registered and published shall be valid. Private agreements and secret treaties are swept from the table, and one of the most dangeroua Instruments of international intrigue and disturb ance is abolished. They agree to Join in the supervision of the government of helplesB and dependent people. They agree that no nation shall hereafter have the right to annex any territory merely because the people that live on it cannot prevent it, and that instead of annexation there shall be trusteeship wider which these policies shall be ad ministered under the supervision of the associated nations of the world. "They lay down rules for the protec tion of dependent persons of that sort so that they shall not have enforced labor put upon them, so that their wom en and children shall be protected from unwholesome and destructive forms of labor, that they shall be kept free from the opium traffic and the traffic In arms, and agree that there will never be arms there. .TREAT ALL ALIKK 'They agree to do what nu nation ever agreed to do before to treat subject nations like human beings. They agree also to accord and maintain fair and "humane conditions in labor for men, women and children, both in their own countries and in all other countries in which their commercial and industrial relations extend, and fqr that purpose agree 'to join in establishing and main taining the necessary International or ganizations. This great treaty which we are hesitating to ratify contains the or ganization by w"hlch the united counsels of mankind shall attempt to lift the levels of labor, and to see that ' men who are working with their hands are treated as they ought to be treated upon principles of justice and right They agree to entrust the league with Ihe frenrral supervision V all interna tional agreement with regard to traffic in women and children, traffic in opium and other dangerous drugs, they agree to trust the league with general super vision of the trade in arms and ammuni tion In the countries in which the con trol of tliis traffic is necessary In the common interests. PKOPOUSAL IS ANALYZED "1 want to. analyze for you what It Is proposed that we should do. Gener alities will not penetrate to the heart of this great question. It Is not enough to speak of the general purposes of the pvji.ee. (Applause outside of the build ing.) This applause is acceptable but inopportune. Perhaps I might devise Borne nignal when they should cheer on the outside, 'hut if you wont mind the sounds without, I think we can make Borne progress toward the heart of the great matter I want to discuss with you. "I want you to realize just what the covenant of the League of Nations means. I find that everywhere I go, it is Cesirablu that I should dwell on this went theme, because In some of the parts of the country men are draw ing attention to-, little details in a way that concentrates 'attention upon certain particulars which are Incidental and not central, and I am going to take the liberty of reading to you a list of things Which the nations adhering to the covenant of the League of Nations undertake. "I want to say by way of preface that it seems to nie, and I am sure it will seem to you, not only -an extraor dinary impressive list, but a list which was never proposed for the councils of the worrld before. ACKEKtt TO ARBITRATION "In the Tirst place, every nation that Joins the league, and that means every fighting nation in the world, agrees ' to submit all controversies which are likely to lead toward war either to ar bitration or to thorough discussion by an Authoritative body the council of the League of Nations. "These great nations, all the most ambitious nations In the world except Germany, all the most powerful na tions In the world as well as the weak ones, all the nations which M-e had supposed had Imperialistic designs, say that they will do either one or the other of two things in ' case a con troversy arises that cannot be settled by ordinary diplomatic correspondence. "They will either frankly submit to arbitration and absolutely Abide by the arbitral verdict, or, they will submit all the facts. all the documents, and the council of the Leasrue of N'atinna -a-IH be given six months in which to dis cuss the whole matter and leave to publish the whole matter, and at the end of six months will ' still refrain for three months more from going to war, , whether they like the opinion of the council or not - ! '.''. IS GREAT DOCUMENT "They agree to Join In obtaining: and maintaining; freedom of communications and transit and equitable treatment for commerce in respect of all members of the league. They agree to. cooperate in an endeavor to take steps for the con trol and the prevention of disease. They agree to encourage and promote thel establishment and cooperation of duly authorized voluntary national Red Cross organisations for the Improvement of health, the prevention of disease and mitigation of suffering throughout the world. I ask you, my fellow citizens, is that not a great peace document and a great humane document? (Applause.) "Is It conceivable that America, the fcttost progressive and numane nation in tne world, should refuse to take the same responsibility upon herself that all the other great nations take In support ing this great covenant? "You say, It isn't likely that the treaty will be rejected. It is only likely that there will be certain reservations. WHAT BEJECTIOX HEAK9 "Very well 1 want very frankly to tell you what I think about that If the reservations dp not change the treaty, then it is not necessary to make them part of the resolution of ratification. If all that you desire to say Is what you understand the treaty to mean, no harm can be done by saying it; but if you want to change the treaty, if you want to alter the phraseology so that the meaning Is altered, if you want to put In reservations that give the United States a position of special privilege or a spe cial exemption of responsibility among the members of the league, then it will be necessary to take the treaty back to the conference table. "And, my fellow citizens, the world is not in a temper to discuss this treaty over again. (Applause.) The world is Just now more profoundly disturbed by social and economic conditions than it ever was before, and the world de mands that we shall come to some sort of settlement which, will let us get down to business and purify and rectify our affairs. (Applause.) AMERICA SHOULD TJOT BLOCK "This is not only the best treaty that can be obtained, but I want to say, be cause I played only a small part in framing it, that It Is a sound and good treaty. (Applause.) And America above all nations, should not be the na tion that puts obstacles in the way of peace of nations and the peace of mind of the world. I never had the good fortune to be In Russia, but I know many persons who know that lovable people Intimately. They all tell me that there is n6t a people In the world more generous, more simple, more kind, more naturally addicted to friendship, more passionately attached to peace than the Russian people ; and yet, because of the grip of terror that the autocratic power of the czar had upon them, and they were unable to bear it and threw it off, they have come under a terror even greater than that. They have come under the terror of the power of men whom nobody knows how to find. And these men have been appealed to again and again by the civilized gov ernments of the' world to call a con stituent assembly and let the Russian people say what sort of government they want to have and they will not they dare not do it. Shall we get Into the clutches of another sort of mi nority? "My fellow citizens, I am going to devote every influence I have and ail the authority I have from this time on to see to it that no minority commands the United States. (Long and continu ous applause and shouts.) There was a demonstration when he said "the United States will be a per manent member of the council of . the League of Nations." "I want to explain the covenant of the League of Nations," he said, and read a list of the things it provides. Every nation that joins must submit International disputes to arbitration, Wilson pointed out, and added the fol lowing points: ICATIOK8 MAT BE BOYCOTTED There must be nine months' delay before starting 'war. Covenant breaking nations will be boy cotted, not warred upon. Member nations, under article 10, guarantee to respect and preserve each other's territory against external 'ag gression. This b called "the heart of the treaty." The council of the league can onlv advise what is to be done; It cannot force congress, for instance, to declare war. All nations agree to Join In a rlan for universal disarmament. TREATIES TO BE PUBLIC All nations agree to register and make public all treaties, thus abolishing secret treaties. The nations agree to a system of trusteeship over the territories of help less and dependent peoples,' thus ending; annexation. ' . The nations agree to maintain fair conditions of labor. Traffic In opium, arms, etc. Is regu lated. The nations agree to take steps for prevention of disease and to set up Bed Cross organizations. RESERVATIONS ABE OPPOSED He again said he had no objection to interpretations of the treaty in a sep arate statement, but oppose) reserva tions which would send it back lef the peace council.
