(By Ml Clemens News Bureau)
Aboard President Wilson's Special
Train Prom the Capital at Washing
ton to the far Faclflo coaBt the Presi
dent -of the United States has jour
neyed on the most unusual expedition
ever undertaken by a chief executive
of the nation.
To discuss national questions, many
preeidents haw toured the land; but
.Mr. Wilson Is laying before America
a question which affects the whole
world tile question of whether or not
we are to Join in the League of Na
tions; whetherwe are to forget our
former Isolation and share with the
other peoples of the earth the respon
slblllties of maintaining, civilization
and preventing, as he says we can do,
future warfare.
Between the capital and the coast
the president made fifteen speeches
and half a dozen brief talks. All of
100,000 fellow citizens listened to him
Several millions had the chance to Bee
him, and apparently everyone wanted
to see him, from those who thronged
the streets of the cities and towns
where he stopped, to those Who came
to the railside or stood at little flag
stations In remote places, knowing
their only reward could be a fleeting
glimpse and a wave of the hand.
lie has met and talked to all types
of citizens to men big in the busi
ness, financial and professional worlds,
to farmers and mechanical workers,
to Indians and cowboys and foreign
born herders and rangers, to soldiers
and to mothers who lost soldier-sons
In the late war.
What do they all tell him? unani
mously they say they want peace
definitely settled, they want no more
wars, they want the League of Na
tions, and most of the American peo
ple, it may be fairly said, tell the
President they want the League just
as it is, Without the reservations or
amendments which certain senators
have insisted upon. The majority of
citizens say to those who interview
them on this tour:
"Woodrow Wilson guided us rightly
before and during the war with Ger
many. We entered that war, every
one agrees, to end all wars. He says
the league can do that. We want to
do that, so let us keep on trusting him
and get the league Into operation as
soon as possible. Forget politics."
Most Americans encountered on the
tour have forgotten politics. Repub
lican Governors and Mayors have in
troduced the President to hlB audi
ence; the Major part of the local com
mittees which have met him have
been Republicans. Tbey have all said:
"We are nothing but Americans, Mr.
President-
Mr. Wilson's arguments for the
league, briefly summarized, are those:
There can be no peace, either now
or in the future, without It. There
ran only be a regrouping of nations
and a new "Halance of Power," which
Is certain to lead to war. There can
be no war in the future, with the
league in existence, because no single
nation would defy the united rest of
mankind, and if it did. It cculd be
brought to terms by an economic
boycott, and without the ue of arms,
Thore can be no reduction In the
cost of llv'i'g u .tll the league Is es
tablished, for nations will not go
ahead with peace tl'ie production un
til they know that peace Is definitely
assured o:.l that production of war
material Is no longer necessary.
There can be wonderful prosperity,
with the leagus In existence, for rel
ations of labor and capital all over
the world will be made closer and
mora friendly, and the worker will re
ceive a fairer shara of what ha pro
dune. These declaration of the president,
logically and eloquently put, have left
hit hearers thinking snd thlnklnf
deeply. And then Mr. Wilson has
pointed out, the people themselves, as
differentiated from senators and poMl-
elans, seem to want Just what the
president wants, which Is America (or
