I humbly linked leave to appoint a member to look after our interests and 1 wnh rebuked for it. I am looking aft er the industrial interest of the Flitted Htate. I would like to seo the other men who are. They are forgetting the industrial interest of the United Btates unit they are doing tilings that will eul us off and our trade off from the nor ma) channel because the reparation com mission eaii determine where Germany buys, what Germany buys and how much (lerinany buy.

They are going to stnnd at the center of the financial operation of the world.

The broad aspects of thi subject are seldom brought to your ot If ut ion. It is the middle piety unish details here and there. No, that blinds me, my fellow .citizens, to the guarantee of this whole thiugj we said we weru going to fight this war for the purpose of seeing to it that the moMiers and sis ters and fathers of this land, the sweet hearts and wives, would not nave to seud their lads over to the other siite to fight auv more; so we toek part in r.u arrangement by which justice was to be secured throughout the world and the rest of the world partly at our sugges tion said :ye and said it glntily, said 'yes, we will go into the war to see tiiat justice is maintained. ' " And then I come home and hear sonic gentlemen say 'but, will we are we interested in justieef ' The treaty of peace, as I have just said to you, is based upon the pro tection of the weak against the strong anil there is only once force that can protect the weak against the strong, and that is the. universal concert of the strength of mankind and that is the league of nations. But I beg that you will not conceive of the league of na tions as a combination of the world f ot war, fur that is exactly what it is not; it is a eombiuatiou of the world for ar bitration and discussion. "I was taking the .pains the other day to make a -sort of table of the con tents of the covenants of the league of nations, and I found that practically the whle heart of it- that two-thirds of its provisions were devoted to setting v a system of arbitration und discussion of the world. " Why, those are the facts, my fellow citizens. The members f the league agreed that no one of them will ever go to war about anything without first doing one or the other of two things, without either submitting the ouetlon to arbitration, in which case tliey agreed to abide by tho decision of the uibitra tors absolutely, or submittiug it to dis mission by the council of the h itgiic of nation iu, which case they agree that no muter what the opinion expressed b ythe Icouncjl may bo they vill allow hix months lor. the discussion, mid whether they tire satisfied with tho con clusion or not, will not go to war In less tlmii three months after the' rendering of thu opinion. I think wo can take it for granted Ihut-the preliminaries would tulie two or three months in which caso you have a. whole year of discussion oven when you don't get arbitration, una i WRtt to etui you ti witness that in almost ovory international contro. versy which has been submitted to de eistons of the opinion of tho world, it hag become Impossible for the result to be war. ; " War is a process of heat. Exposure in a process of cooling, and what is pro posed' in this, is that every hot thing shall be spread out in the cooling air of the opinion of the world ,nnd after it is thoroughly cooled ff, then let the na tions coneeriled determine whtither they re going to fight about it or not and notico tho section: Any member of the lengue which breaks these promises with rog.ird to arbitration or discussion Is to be deemed thereby to have committed an act of war aguinst tho other mem bers of the league.' Not merely to have ilono any immoral thing, but by refusing to onoy. those processes to have emmit ted an net of war and put itself out of court, and you know than whut ht.ppeus. Aw: : tKigo 'JvOMo.- ETAO ETA 0 "You say, yes we form an army and go and fight them. Not at all. We shut their doors and lock them. Wo boy cott them. They are absolutely boy cotted by the rest of mankind.' I don't think thnt after that remedy it will be necessary to do any fighting at nil. "Xow that it Is the league of nations an agreement to arbitrate or discuss, and an agreement if you don't arbitrate or discuss, you shall be absolutely boy cotted and starved out. "There In hardly u European nation, my fellow citizens, that is of n fighting inclination that has enough food to cut without importing food, and it will be a very persuasive argument thnt it has n't anything to cat. "Now, when you add to this some other very interesting particulars, 1 think tho lenguo becomes a very Inter esting thing, indeed. You have heard of article 10 unit X am going to speak about that in a minute, but read article 11. Because, really, there are other article in the covenant. Article 11 says, I am not quoting its lnnguuge but its sub stance that auythink that is likely to affect the peace of the World or the good understanding upon which thu peace of tho world stands shnll be ev erybody's business ,that any nation, the lit lea nation at the table, can stand up and challenge the right of the strong est nation there to keep on in J course of action or policy which is likely to disturb the peace of tho world, and Hint it shall be its friendly right to do so. "Those aro the words. Not to be regarded as a hostile or unfriendly act. It is its friendly right to do that. And if you wout give the secret away, 1 wrote those words myself. lleeause, with the usual imihiatiou of a talkutive man I wouldn't there to be anything iu the world I couldn't talk about; and yet 1 would not want to give of fen-se, and I wanted it to be our friendly right and everybody's friendly right to discuss everything that was likely to effect tho peace of the world, because that iseverybotly 's business, and it s everybody business to see that nothing happen to diturb the peace of the world. There i added to this par ticular this very interesting thing there ean hereafter be no secret trea ties. There were nations represented mound that board, I man the Dof.nl at which thp commission of tho league of nations sat, where fourteen nations wore represented; there were nations .repre sented around that board who had en tered into many a secret treaty and un- ilersta'tdiiif and thev made not tho -least objection to promising Uiat hereafter no secret treaty should have any validity whatever.

It is like our arrangements with regard to mort gages on reRl estate tthat until they are istered nobody else need pav any at tention to them; and so with tho trea ties, until they aro registered in this office of the. league, nobody, not even the parties themselves, can insist upon their execution. 1 You have cleared te deck thereby of the most thingernna thing, and most embarrassing thing thnt has hitherto existed in-international pol itics. It was very embarrassing, my fellow citizens, who you thought yon were approaching an ideal solution of a question to a question, to find that some of your principal colleagues had given the whole thing away and that leads me to sneak, just In passing of what ha na.nt is that cverv treaty of luternsiton- given a great many people natural dis. tress; I mean the Shantung settlement, the settlement with regard to a portion of the province of Shantung in China-. Ureat Britain and France, as everybody now knows, in order to. make it more certain thnt Japan would come into the war and so assist and clear thu Pacific of the Gorman fleets, had promised that uuy rights that Germany had had in China, should, in the case of victory of the allies pass to Japan. There was no qualification in the promise. Bhe was to get exactly what Germuny had, and so the only thing that was possible was to induce Japan to promise, and 1 want to say in fairness, for it would not be fair if I didn't sav it, that Japan did very handsomely make the promises which were requested of her, thct she would retain in Shantung none of the sovereign rights which Germany had en joyed there, but would, return the sov ereignty without qualification to China and retain in Shantung province only what other nationalities, economic right, with regard to the development and ad; ministration of the railway and of cer tain mines which had become attached to the railway. 'That is her promise and personally I have not the slightest doubt that she will fulfill that promise. She can't fulf il it right now, because tho thing doesn't go into operation until three mouths after the treaty is ratified, so that we must not be too impatient, but she will fulfill theso promises, and sup pose we said we didn't assent; England aud France must assent, and if we are goingto get Shantung province back to China, and thee gentlemen don't want to engage iu foreign wars, how aro they goiugto get it baekf Their ideai of not getting into trouble seems to be to stand for the largest possible number of un workable propositions. It is all very wel lto talk about standing bv China but how are you standing by China when. you withdraw from the only arrange ments by which China can be assisted!
