Without Mincing Words,' Wilson
. Says Treaty Amendments Would
Wholly DefeatObject's of War.
SALT LAKE CROWD CORDIAL
Utah Speech Accepts as Issue of
Campaign That 'Bleeding Heart
of World Depends on America.'
By John Edwin Kevin
On Board President Wilson's Spe
cial Train En Route to Cheyenne,
- Wyd.. Bept. 24 (I. N. 8.) With a
declaration of war "on his lips and
!. a demand that the senate of the
'United States shall accept the Issue
1 of ratification of the treaty of Ver-
gailles as a guarantee of peace or its
rejection as a declaration that war
must continue, Tresldent Wilson
' moved eastward today.
The president has decided that the
isaue has been raised by his oppo
nents. Last night In the sacred tab
ernacle of the Mormon church, Mr.
Wilson 'explained his position. In
effect, he said:
TT. 8. AS GIBMAir ALLY
1. Any rejection of this treaty leaves
the United States as the ally of Ger
many. 2. Amendments to this treaty which
make necessary resubmission to any
: sudatory power. Including Germany,
; defeatB the objects of the war.
3. Opponents of the treaty must con-
sider whether their "benevolent" stand
makes for reconsideration, without their
r believing that this is a fact, or whether
s the advocates of "amendments" shall
' be ablo to say to the world that the
I United States is not to be a party to
the treaty.
M ILSOX ACCEPTS ISSUE
The president was extremely bitter
', last nisrht He accepted the IsBue for
- the next national campaign. No one
- could doubt that. While he did not
t make any lusue of the campaign to
' come, he made it, plain that "so long
as I live I will accept the Issue that
' the bleeding heart of the world depends
; upon America."
i The president was very much delight-
; ed by the events of last night. In the
i heart of Mormonism the Mormonism
that means integrity, honor and Amer-
icanlum he cited statements of the
leaders of the church which apparently
J his audience accepted ss a criticism of
the senior senator of the state. Yet he
did not criticise Mr. Smoot,' neither did
he crltlciBe Senator Borah.
J BORAH A BIT OFF
As a matter of fact, in the audience
' in front of President Wilson last night
there were more friends of Senator
; ' Borah than of any senator from the
state of Utah. They lovo Borah in
Utah. They thin-k he is a little "off
i color" in" deciding against the League
of Nation, but they know that his
decision was made many, many years
sro soon after 1914, when "Lfill" Borah
l declared his ositio. And there was
a subtle suggestion in the declaration
' that rami1 from tha men of Utah Salt
lake, Ogden that possibly it might not
' be right to question integrity when in
" tegrity was so big a proposition as it
meant to Borah and to them, although
they said very frankly that they knew
the senator went off oil "the wrong
foot." ) '
PEOPLE AVAST TREATY
The president is going to carry the
war. straight home to the senators who
now arc opposed to him on political
lines. He said last night that he could
not understand their position. 1 know,
of my own knowledge, that the presi
dent has not yet accepted the fact that
i the members of -his' own party In the
senate are not opposing him for any
thing but political purposes.
Tho president today declared em
phatlcally, "80 per cent of the American
people want this treaty ratified." Then
lie said that In his opinion the opposi
tion came from the pro-Germans in
' America. You cannot argue with the
,' president of the United States. He
; knows why he said this. And it is
probably true that he Is right.
LOCAL RF.8IDE5CE THE
! INDICATOR
T But the president realizes perfectly
well that at no place along the line
where the Issue has been raised of
whether "there shall be ratification or
. there shall be rejection, the voices that
. came were apparently attuned from the
; standpoint of local residence. In Ne
; braska, where there is a law prohibiting
; the teaching of the German language
, in the public schools, the reference ol
- the president to pro-Germanism was
4 lat:ghod at. And the president said, "It
. is possible that this suggestion is not
acceptable to the multitude."
Ko today the same issue was extremely
involved as the presidential special
moved eastward to Cheyenne and
Denver.
Jt is possible to say this: President
Wilson is not arguing today with any
one. He ended his argument last night
in Salt Lake. He asked his audience
then whether it agreed with him that
resubmission of the treaty spelled treas
on. The response apparently satisfied
him. He is on his way back to empha
sise these facts to congress In Wash
ington. The president personally plans to force
the fighting in the senate on the treaty
4oC Versailles immediately upon his ar
., rival In Washington next week. For
the last 48 hours there has" been an al-
most constant exchange of telegrams
between Mr, Wilson and the Democratic
leaders who are handling hia fight sn
the floor of the upper house of congress.
Every move that has transpired on the
floor of the senate Immediately has
been reported to the president by Sena
tor Hitchcock, his- chief lieutenant, or
by Rudolph Forster, his assistant sec
retary In the White House. The presi
dent has not argued about any sugges
tion made by either source. But he has
insisted In all hia messages that he will
not permit any argument that is not
compiled upon a basis of facts.
PRESIDENT IS CONFIDENT
Despite the circumstantial reports of
imminent desertions from the ranks of
the administration senators, the presi
dent continues confident of the final
outcome. He believes that the Repub
lican and Democratic senators who will
vote for amendments that must compel
resubmission of the treaty are in the
minority and that there are certain sen
ators openly claimed in favor of such
amendments who will not deliver the
goods.
The president en route from. Salt Lake
and his great meeting there last night,
today was speeding .towards Cheyenne
and Denver. He will speak in the Colo
rado metropolis tomorrow morning. It
was said today that there was a likeli
hood that the president might take the
occaslonof his presence in Denver to
reply to the reasons publicly assigned
by Senator Thomas as to why he can
not support the League of Nations con
stitution. Supporters of the president have been
urging him to take up personally the
cases of certain senators, members of
his own party, who refuse to support
the treaty. This he has so far declined
to do, holding that the treaty is in no
way a partisan affair and that it should
have equal Republican as well as Dem
ocratic support.
There was a well defined re
port today that negotiations are
in progress In Washington between
administration leaders in the senate and
the so-called "mild reservation 1st" Re
publican senators looking to an agree
ment that would have the sanction of
thij . president, which would absolutely
lnrure ratification.
No one close to the president would
discuss this report In any of its aspects.
However, the gist of the plan, as -understood
here, was to have the explanatory
resolutions, that the president has de
clared be would not object to if incor
porated in a serapate resolution from
thai ratifying the treaty, prepared in
such a manner that they would not
have to be resubmitted to the signatory
powers, and in that form made a part
of the ratification resolution.- Such ac
tion, it was said, would satisfy a great
number of Republican members and in
sure speedy ratification. If the plan is
put through it is claimed that It will
mean a speedy voting down of all
textual amendments and ratification
within the coming three weeks.
