President in Personal Address to the
Senate Says Time Has Come for
United States to Depart From Pol
icy of Isolation and Take Part in
a World League to Preserve Peace
After the War No Covenant of
Co-operative Peace Without U. S.
WASHINGTON", Jan. 22. Presi
dent Wilson in a personal address lo
the senate todaj- laid down t:ie ques
tion of whether the Un.tc-d States
shall depart from Its traditional pol
icy of Isolation and no cnt'itis'lng al
liances, aurt take part In a world
league to preserve peace after the
war.
So imch history mnklnz event with
such far reaching possibilities to the
United States probably had been seen
in the senate chamber.
, Shattering precedent of more than
, century, the president regarding the
senate with Its treaty making power
as his counsellor In foreigi al fairs,
explained why he believed the time
had come for the world to know
America's position and discussed the
underlying causes on which he be
lieves a permanent peace of the world
can he maintained.
Hhnttom Precedents.
While President Wilson was speak-lug-dlrcctly
to the senators after Hie
manner of Washington, Madison and
Adams, bis address wan in the hands
of all foreign governments or on its
way to them.
In the background of the funda
mental proposition of whether the
Vnited States should alter the for
eign policy, laid down by Washing
ton and enrried out by a long lino of
presidents, -was the possibility thnt
out of some such lengue of nations
might come a way to end the present
war. For half an hour the presi
dent spoke with members of the sen
ate, members of the cabinet and pack
ed galleries listening with rapt at
tention. When he concluded there
was a tremendous hurst of applause
In which many of the republican sen
ators joined.
When the president had finished
and the senate returned to its regu
lar business, . Senator l.a Follette
epitomized the sentiment of all pres
ent by saying: i
Most Important Hour.
"We have just passed through a
very important hour in the life of
the world."
Senators generally reserved com
ment on the president's address, but
some republicans who said they did
not wish to be quoted, said they were
opposed to both the "propriety and
subslnnce."
Briefly, the president In his ad
dress said that he believed no peace,
which was a peace of victory, in the
present war would be a, permanent
rjace and that it must be taken for
granted that peace "must be followed
by some definite concert of power,
which will make it virtually Impos
sible that any such catastrophe
should ever overwhelf us again."
"It is inconceivable," he said, "that
the people of the I'nited Slates should
play no part In that great enterprise.
They cannot In honor with
hold the service to which they are
t about to be challenged.
