Immediate need for cotton heltltiK, and

ho mot, nil hornuHo the channels of
trado nro hnrred hy war when there
Is no wnr. The same Is truo of raw
cotton, of which the central empires
alone formerly purchased nearly our
million bales, and these nra only ox
amplrs. There Is hardly a single rnw
material, a single Important food
stuff, or n slriRlo class of manufactured
goods which Is not In tho saroo case.
Our full, normal, profitable production
waits on pcaco.
Military Plans Delayed.
"Our military plans of course wait
pon It. Wo cannot Intelligently or
wlsoly dpcldo how Inrso a naval or
military forco wo shall mnlntnln or
our policy with regard to military
training Is to ho until wo have peace
not only, hut nlso until wo know how
penco Is to he sustained, whother hy
tho nrms of single nations or hy tho
concert of all tho groat peoples. And
there Is more than that difficulty In
volved. The vast surplus properties
nf tho army Include, not food and
clothing moroly, whoso salo will affect
normal production, but great manu
facturing establishments also, which
should bo restored to tholr former
uses, groat stores of machine tools,
and all sorts of merchandise which
must Ho' Idle until peace and military
policy nro definitely determined.
"Tho nations that ratify tho treaty,
such an Great Britain, llelglum and
Franco, will bo In n position to lay
tholr plnns for controlling tho marketH
nf central Kurope, without compotl.

act, Wo hnvo no consular ngeiltH, no

Future of Europe Remains Uncertain.
"Thoro nro largo areas of Kuropo
whoso future will lie uncertuln and
questionable until their people know
Iho final HOttlomentH of pcaco nnd tho

kets our production cannot proceed
with intelligence or confidence, Thore
can bo no easy or normal industrial
credits hecauso thoro can ho no confi

Thero can bo no stabilization of wages
because thoro can ho no settled condi

"Evpry element of normal life
amongst us dopends upon and nwnltH
the ratification or tho treaty of poaco,
and wo cannot afford to lose n single
HUmmor's day by not doing all that
wo can to mltlgato tho winter's suffer
ing, which, unless wo find means to
provont it, may prove disastrous to
a largo portion of tho world, and may,
nt its worst, bring upon Uuropb con

brought by tho wnr Itself.
Cannot Understand Doubtt,
JKoUilug, I am led to believe i.tapdf ,
In tho wax of tho ratification of the
trenty except doubtH with regard lo
tho mennlni; and Implication of certain
articled of the covenant or tho Luuttuu
of Niitlonn, and I must frankly say
thnt I am unable to uiulurnlnml why
iiucli doubtH should ho uiitOrtainod.
Yntt will recall that when I had I ht!
pleasure of a conference with your
committee nnd with tho committee of
tho house of representatives on for
l?n nffnlrn nt tho White House In
March Inst, tho quentlonn now tnont
frequently nnked nbotit tho League of
Nations wore nit canvassed, with
vlow tn thejr Immediate olnrlfluatlon.
Tho covenant of tho lenguo wnn thon
In Its first drnft nnd subject to rovl
slon. It wnn pointed out thnt no ox
proHn recognition wiih given lo tho
Monroe Doctrine- that It wan not ex
prossly provided that the league nhnttld
have no authority to net or to expronn
a judgment on rnnttom of domestic
policy; thnt the right to withdraw
from the lonmm wnn not expressly roc
ngulzcd. and that the constitutional
rights of tho eouuiesii to determine nil
qtifstloun of pence nnd war was tint
sufficiently safeguarded. On my ro
turn to Paris nil those mattuis wen
taken up again by tho rommliislon on
tho League of Nntlous and every h in
gestion of tho United Hiatus was nc
ceptcd.
American Vlowa Accopted.
"Tho view of tho United Htatos with
regards to tho questions 1 have men
tinned had, In fact, already been nc
ccptod by the commission nud there
wns mppoNcd to ho nothing Inconsls
tout with them In tho drnft of tic
covennnt first ndoptcdtho draft
which was the subject of our discus
slon In March hut no objection wa
made to nuythlug explicitly In the toV
thnt all had supposed to bo implicit
In It.
"Tho Monroe Dortrluo In exprennh

tho covonant and tho oxprosnjoii 'ro
glonnl understanding like tho Monro
Doctrine' wan used, not boonuao any
one of tho oouforrnr thought there
will bo, any comparable ngreemenl
anywhere else In existence or In con

best to nvohl the nppenranco of dual

Domestic Issues Not Affected,
"With regnrd to domestic questions
Artlelo XVI cif the covenant express!
provides that, If In case of any tils

the council to arise out of a matt
