Statement of German Official That

(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.
