DISCUSSION OF PROGRESS OF PEACE

HOPES FOR SETTLED PEACE AS RESULT
High Ideals of America Won the War and If America Now Fails the World
of Its Hope. All Nations Will Set Up Hostile Camps Attain and Peace
Conference Will Have Failed Reception In Europe Regarded as a
Welcome to the United States and in No Sense Personal.
BOSTON, Feb. 24. President
Wilson spoke as follows: j
"Governor Coolidge, Mr. Mayor,
Fellow Citizens: "I wonder If you are
half as glad to see me as I am to see
you. H warms my heart to seo a.
great body of my fellow citizens again
because in some respects during the
recent months I have been Tery lone
ly indeed without your comradeship
and counsel, and I tried at every step
of the work which fell to me to recall
what I -as sure would be your coun
sel with regard to the great matters
which were under consideration.
"I do not want you to think that
I bare not beep appreciative of the
extraordinarily generous reception
I which was given to me on the other
I side, in Baying that It makes me very
happy to get home again. I do not
mean to say that 1 was not very deep
ly touched by the cries that came
from the great crowds on the other
side. But I want to say to you in all
honesty that I felt them to bo a call
of greeting to you rather than to me.
Greeting Nit Porsonnl
"I did not feel that the greeting
was personal. I had In my heart the
overcrowding pride of being your rep
resentative and of receiving the plau
dits of men everywhere who felt that
your hearts beat with theirs iu the
cause of liberty. There was no mis
taking the tone in the voices of those
great crowds.. It was not a tone of
mere greeting, It was not a tone of
mere generous welcome; it was the
calling comrade to comrade the cries
that come from men who say 'we
have wnited for this day when the
friends of liberty should come across
the sea and shake hands with us, to
see thnt a new world was coostructed
upon a new basis and foundation of
Justice and right.'
"I can't tell you the Inspiration
that came from the sentiments thnt
come out of those simple voices of
the crowd. And the proudest thing
I ffnvo to report to you is that this
great country or ours Is trusted thru
out the world. '
Common Spirit Rules
"I have not come to report the pro
ceedings or the result of the proceed
ings of the conference, that would be
premature. I can say that I have
received very happy impressions from
this conference; the impression that
while thero are many differences of
Judgment, while there are some di
vergences of object, there Is never
theless a common spirit and a com
mon realization of the necessity of
setting up new standards of right In
i the worrd. '
I "Because the men who are In con
ference in Paris realize as keenly as
any American can realize tnat iney
are not the masters of their people;
that they are the servants of their
people and that the spirit of their
people has awakened to a new pur
pose and a new conception of their
power to realize that purpose, and
Ithnt no man dare go home from thnt
conference nnd report anything less
noble than was expected of It.
Slow Progress n Necessity '
"The conference seems to you to
go slowly; from day -to day In Paris
It seems to go slowly; but I wonder
if you realize tho complexity of the
tnsk which It has undertaken. It
seems that It the settlements of the
war affect, and affect directly, every
great, and I sometimes think every
small nation In the world, no one
decision can prudently bo mndo
which is not properly linked with the
great series of other decisions which
must accompany It. And it must be
reckoned in with the final result If
tho real quality and character of that
result Is to be properly Judged.
"What we are doing Is to hear the
whole case; har It from the mouths -of
the men most Interested; hear It
from those who are officially com
missioned to state It; hear the rival
claims; hear the claims that affect
new nationalities, that affect new .
areas of .the world, that affect new
commercial and economic . connec
tions that have been established by
the great world war thru which we
have gone. And I have been struck:
bythe moderateness of those" Who '
have represented national claims. I -can
testify that I have nowhere seen
the gleam of passion: I have seen
earnestness, I have seen tears come
to, the eyes of men who plead for
down-trodden people whom they
were privileged to speak for; but
they were not the tears of anguish,
they were the tears of ardent hope. ....
America Sought After .
, "I don't see how any man can fail
to have been subdued by these pleas,
subdued to this feeling, that he was
not there to assert an Individual
judgment of his own, but to try to
assist the cause of humanity. '
"And in the midst of It every in
terest seeks out first of all, when It
reaches Paris, the representatives of
the United States. WhyT Because
and I think I am stating 'the most
wonderful fact in history because
there is no nation In Kurope that
suspects the motives of the United
States. , . ;":;. .'
"Was thero ever so wonderful a
thing seen before? Was there ever
so moving a thing? Was there ever;
any fact that so bound the nation
that had won that esteem forever to
deserve it?
Distrust Each Other
"I would not have you understand
that the great men who represent the
other nations there in conference are
dis-esteemed by those who know
them. Quite the contrary. But yoti
understand that the nations of Eur
ope have again and again clashed,
with ane another- In competitive' In
terest. It is impossible for men to
forget those sharp Issues that were
drawn between them in times past.
It is Impossible for men to believe
that ambitions have all of a sudden
been foregone. , They remember ter
ritory that was coveted; they remem-;
ber rights thnt It-was attempted to
extort; they remember political am
biions which it was attempted to
realize and, while they believe that
men have come Into a different tem
per, they cannot forget these things,
and so they do not resort, to one an
other for a dispassionate view of th'e
matter in controversy. They resort
to that nation which has won the
enviable distinction or being regarded
as the friend of mnnkind.
"Whenever It is desired to Bend n
small' force of soldiers to occupy ft
piece of territory where It Is thought
nobody else will be welcome, thoy ask
for American soldiers. And where
other soldiers would be looked upon
with suspicion and perhaps meet with
resistance, the American soldlor Is
welcomed with acclaim
' ('rounds for I'l'ido
"I have had so many grounds for
pride on the other side of the water
thnt I am very thankful that thoy are
not grounds for personal pride. I'd
be tho moat stuck-up man in the
world. And it has been an Infinite
pleasure to me to see those gallant
soldiers of ours, of whom, the con
stitution of the United States made
me the proud commander. You may
be proud of the 211th division, but I
