When gentlemen tell you, there

be no statesman of any country who
can thereafter piomise hib people any
elevation from the perils of war.
The passions of this world are not
dead; the rivalries of this world have

hotter than ever

ever was before and unless there is
this sureness of combined anion

the financial stress of this war.
Would Redeem Weaker Nations
Now, look, what else is in the
treaty. This treaty is unique in the
history of mankind because the renter
of it is the redemption of weak na
tions. There never was a congiess
of nations before that considered the
WxC rights of those who could not en- I
t-'-Aiorce their rights.
R I , There never was a congress of nn
Kl 1 "too before that did not seek to nf-
'SCT some balance ot power lirought i

Mxiiand interest of the strongest povveis
iUt concerned, whereas this treaty builds

It builds them up b.v gift, by largess,

"who wrote the treaty that the rights

the men who wrote thnt treaty that
the fertile source of war is wrong;
that the Austro-Hungarian empire,
for example, was held together by
military force aud consisted of peo
ples who did not want to live to
bgether; who did not have the spirit
of nationality townrds each other,
who constantly chaffed at the bonds
that held them
Hungary, though a willing partner
of Austria, was willing to be her
partner because she could share
Austria's strength for accomplishing
her own ambitions, and ber own am

That is the Anient an principle and
I wns glucl to fight for it, and when
Miatrgic considerations vieic urged I
said not I alone but it was n
matter of common (oiinsol thnt
strntcgic consideration wen- not in
our thought, thnt we are not now
arrnnging for future wars but nre
giving people what belonged to thrin
M) fellow citizens, I do not think
there is anj man alive who !ias a
more tender Rjmpfithj lor the front
people of Italj than 1 liufc. nnd a
verv stern duty wns presented to us
when he had to consider -"'iiv' nf the
claims of Italy on the Adrtntn ni

view of future wars. Itnl.v needed a

It was n Slnvie people, and 1 had
to saj to in) Italian fi lends thnt
everjwheie else in this trcntv we hnve
given termor) to the jieoplc who
lived nn it, and 1 do not think lh.it
it is for the advantage of Itnlv. aid
I .un sine it is not for the iidv intage
of the woild, to give Itnh tuiitoiv
where other people live
Sees League as Ital.v's Protector
I felt the foicc of the argument for
what the) wanted, nnd It was the old
argument that hnd alwavs prevaiU.il,
unineh, that the) needed it from a
JjUitiin ooint of view, nnd I have
no dntibt that if there is no league
nf nations thev will need it from a
niihtarv point of view, but if there
is a league of nations the) will not
need it from a milltai) point of view.
If theie is no league of nations the
militurv point of view will prevail
in ever) instance nnd pence will be
brought into contempt, but if there is
a lengue of nations Italv need not
fear the fact thnt the shores on the
other side of the Adriatic tower nbove
her lower sandv shores on her side of
the sea. because there will lie no
threatening guns theie nnd the Tin
tiyus of the world will have con
sented not meiel) to sie that the
Slavic peoples have their lights but
the Italian people have their lights
us well.
I would rather have everybcxlv ou
ni) side than be armed to the teeth,
nnd ever) settlement that is light,
ever) settlement that is based upon
the principles 1 lnw alluded to is
a safe settlement because the s)in
pathv of mankind will be behind it
Voices Pride in Ancestry
Some gentlrmcn have feared with
regard to the league of nntiuns thnt
we will be obliged to do things wc
don't wnnt to do If the treaty were
wrong thnt mght be so, but if the
trenty is right we will wish to pre
serve right I think I know the bjr.irt
nf this great people whom I, for the
time being, have the high honor to
represent, better than some other men
that I hear talk.
I hnve been bred nnd am"1 proud
to have been bied in the old Revolu
tionary stock which set this govern
ment up, when America was set up
as a friend of mankind, and I know
if thev do not that Ameiicii has
never lost that vision or thnt purpose.
But I haven't the slightest fear
thnt arms will be necessary if the
purpose is there. If I know thnt my
ndversnry is armed and I am not.
I do not press the controvcrs), ami
If any nation entertains selfish pur
poses set against the principles es
tablished in this treaty, and is told
bv the rest of the world that it must
withdraw its claims, it will not press
them.
The heart of this treat), then mv
fellow eiti.ens. is not even that it
punishes German) that is a tem-
poiary thing it is thnt it rei tilies
the age-long wrong which chnracter-
I izd the history of Kurope.
Treat) Making Was Ilig Job
Theie were some of us who wished
that the scope of the treat) would
reach some other ace -lone wronir. It
was a big job, and I don't say that
we wished that it were bigger, but
there were other wrongs elsewhere
than in Europe, and of the same kind,
which no doubt ought to be righted,
nnd some day will be righted, but
which vve could not draw into the
treat), because vve could deal only
with the countries whom the war had
engulfed nnd affected
Hut so far as the scope n( our
treaty went, we rectified the wrongs
which have been the fruitful source
of conflict in Europe.
Have )ou ever reflected, my fellow
countrymen, on the real source of
revolutions? Men don't start revolu
tions in a sudden passion. Do you
remember what Thomas Carlyle said
about the French revolution? He
was speaking of the so-called Hun
dred I)a- terror which reigned not
only in Paris, but throughout France,
iu the da.vs of the French Revolution,
and he remainded his readers that
back of that Hundred Days of terror
lay several hundred years of agony
and of wrong.
The French people liad been deeply
and consistently wronged by their
government, robbed their human
rlflits disregarded, and the slow
agony of those hundreds of jears hnd
after a while gathered into a hot
agony that could not be suppressed.
Revolutions don't soring uu over
night; revolutions gather through the")
ages; revolutions come from the long
suppression, of the human spirits;
revolutions come because men know
that they hate rights and that they
are disregarded.
Aim io Avoid devolutions
And whence think of the future nf
the world iu connection with this
treaty, wo must remember that one of
the chief efforts of those who made the
treaty was to remove tbat anger from

FIRST ADDRESS ON TOUR ON PEACE TREATY
the heart of great peoples, great
peoples who had always been sup
pressed nnd always been used, who
had always been the tools In the
hands of governments generally of
alien governments not their own.
And the makers of the treaty knew
that If these wrongs were not re
moved, there could be no peace iu the
world, because, nfter all, my fellow
citizens, war comes from the seed of
wrong, nnd not from the seed of right.
This treaty Is nn attempt to right
the history nf Europe, and In my
bumble Judgment It Is a measurable
success
I sa.v "mensurable." my fellow
citizens, becnuse )ou will renllzc the
ilifliiult) of this. Ilere nre two neigh
boring peoples. The one people hnve
not stopped nt n shnrp line and the
settlements of the other people, or
their migrations, begun nt thnt sharp
line; they have Intermingled.
There nre regions where j ou enn't
drnvv a nntinnnl line and say : There
nre Slavs on this side nnd Itnlinns
on thnt , there nre this people here
nnd thnt people there. It can't be
done. Von have to approximate the
line. You hae to come to it, as
near to It as )ou ran, and then trust
the process of history to redistribute.
It may be, the people who aro on the
wrong side of the line.
ustrian Pact More'lntrlcate
And there nie mnnv such lines
drawn in this treat), nnd to be drawn
in the Austrian tienty, where per
haps there nre more lines of that sort
tlinn in the German trenty.
When vve came to drnvv the line
between the Polish people and tlie
German people, not the line between
Germnnv nnd Poland there wasn't
nnv Pnlnnd strictl) speaking the
line being the German people nnd the
Polish people There were districts
like the upper pnrt of Silesia or
rather the eastern part of Silesin
which is i,nlle(l "I'pper Silesin." be
cause it h mountainous, nnd the
other part is not
High Silesin is chicflv Polish, nnd
when we enme to draw a line to lcp
lesent Poland it wns necessary to
include High Silesia, if vve were really
going to plav fair nnd mnke Poland
up of the Polish peoples wherever
we found them in sufficiently close
neighborhood to one another.
But it wasn't perfectly clear that
I'pper thnt High Silesin w anted to
be part nf Poland At any rate there
were Germans in High Silesin who
snid thnt it did not, nnd therefore
we did t!;ere whnt vve did iu man)
other places
We said- Verv well then, we will
lei the people that live theie decide
We will have a referendum within n
certain length of time nfter the wnr.
under the supervision of nn internn
tiounl commission, which will hnve a
sutfic ient in mod force behind it to
preserve order and see that nobodv
interfeies with the elections. We will
hnve nn nbsolutolv free vote and High
Silesia shall go either to Germnnv or
to Poland ns the people in High
Silesia prefer.
Populace Will Choose
Aud thnt illustiates mnnv other
cases where vve provided for a refer
endum, or a plebiscite . ns the) choose
to call it; nnd aie going to leave it
to the people themselves, as we should
have elone, what government the)
shall live uncle
It is none of ni) prerogatives to
allot peoples to this government and
the othei. It Is noliod.v's right to
rt that allotting, except the people
themselves, unci I want to tcstif)
that this tieaty is shot through with
the American principle of the choice
of the governeei.
Of course at times it went further
tlinn we could mnke n practical polio)
of, because vnuoiiH peoples were keen
upon getting back portions of their
populations which were separated
from them by mnnv miles of terri
tor.v , and vve couldn't spot over with
little pieces of separate el states.
I even had to remind my Italian
colleagues that if the) were going
to claim every place where there was
a large Italian population, wc would
have to clp New York to them, be
cause there are more-Italians In New
York than In any Italian cit).
But I believe I hope that the
Italians in New York city are ns
glad to sta) there as we are to hnve
them 1 would not have you sirjipose

All Races In America
We, of all peoples in the world, mv
fellow -citizens, ought to be able to

treaty and without anybody explaining
them to us; for wc are made up out
of all the peoples of the vvorlil. 1
dare sny thnt in this nudience there

You don't have to have me explain

Serenade for President
Harrisburg, Sept. 4. Pennsjlva
nla postmasters. In convention here,
took n band to the Pennsylvania
Railroad station to serenade Presi
dent Wilson ns he went through.
But the rnllrond administration's
orders are that nobody without tick
ets Is allowed through the gates, and
no amount of persuasion could in
duce the gnteman to let the pnrty
enter the trnln shed.
So the President went west with
out the serennde, nnd the postmas
ters nre Indlgnnnt nt the rnllrond

uu'idciitnllv, of course, the remunera
tion of labor.
The labor shall be remunerated In
prppoitlon, of course, to the main
tenance ()f the stnndnid of living,
which is proper for the mini who is
expected to give his whole brniti nnd
intelligence nnd cnerg) to a particu
lar task,
I hear ver.v little snhl about this
Magna Charfa of labor which is ciu
boelied in this. It forecasts the day
which ought to have come long ngo,
when stntc-uien will lenlize that no
nation is fortunate which is not
happy, and that no nation can bo
hupp) whose people nre not con
tented, contented in their industry,
contented in their lives and fortunate
in the circuiustunees of their lives.
If 1 were to state what seems to
me to be the central idea of this
treaty, it would be this; It is al
most a disenwrv iu inti'i national con
wntions "that nations do imt con
sist of (heir government, but rnusUt
of their prople,"
Thnt is a iiidimcnlarv nlea ; it
seems to go without avin,j to us in
America, but mv fellow citizens), it
was never the lending idea in nnv
other international e-ongies that I
ever heard of, that is to suy, nny
international congress made up of the
representatives of government.
No Annexation Uhatexer
They were alwa)s thinking of na
tional nolle), of national advantages,
of the rivalries of trade, of the ad
vantages of territorial conquest.
There is nothing of that in this
treat).
You will notice that even the ter
ritories which are taken away from
GeVinan) , like her colonies, arc not
given to an) hoil.v . There Isn't a sin
gle art of annexation in this ttent).

The) are to establish no foitlficu

ton it in other words, that the lives
of the people whose care they assume
not sovercignt) over whom the)
assume, but whose care thev assume
nie kept clean anil safe and holv.
I'or Welfare of People '
There again the principle of the
tient) comes nut. thnt the object of
the arrangement is the welfare of the
people vvbo live there, and not the
nelvantagcs of government.
It goes bevond that, and it seeks
to gather under the common supei -vision
of the league of nations the a
rious instrumentalities by which the
world has been tr)ing to check the
evils thnt were iu some places ele
basing men. like the opium tinflic.
like the traffic for it was a trafbc

traffic in other dangerous drugs ; like

check the thlnjfs that were wrong,
and this treaty seeks something like
thnt.
Iu drnw Ing the humnnc endeavors
together, It makes a mirror of the
line passions of the world, of its
phllnntrnphlc passions, nnd of Its
passion of pity, of this passion of
human sjmpnthy, of this passion of
human friendliness, nnd helpfulness,
for there in such a. passion, It Is the
passion thnt has lifted us nlong the
slow road of civilization ; It Is the
passion that has made ordered gov
ernment possible; it ls the .passjon
that has made Justice, and establish

the world
That Is the treaty. Did jou exer
hear of It before? Did yen cer know
what was In this treaty? Did anjbody
before ever tell jou what the treaty
was'lntrndeel to do?
I bi'g. my fellow citizens, that jou
nnd the ri'st of those Americans with
whom we nre hnppy to bo associated
nil over this 'broad land will read
the tieatv themselves, or, if they
won't tnkc time to do thnt, for it is
a teclinienl document that Is hard to
lead, that they will accept the In -terpictntlon
of those who made It
nnd know whnt the Intentions were In
the making of it.
I hear a great deal, my fellow
citizens, about the selfishness nnd the
selfish ambitions of other govern
ments, but I would not be doing
justice to the gifted men with whom

Differed as to Method
We differed as to the method, very
often we hnd discussions as to the
eletuils, but vve never had nny serious
cli-eiissiiiu as to the principle. And
while we all acknowledge that the
piinciples might perhaps in detail
have been better really, vve are all
bne l of these principles.
There is n concert of mind and of
pin pose- nnd of pollc.v in the world
that wns never in existence before.

to whom 1 hnve alluded, because what
happened to us was that wc got mes
sages from our people; we were there
under instructions, whether they
were written down or not, and we
didn't come home without fulfilling
those instructions.
If I could not luivc brought back

tained a moment's doubt of that, and
the only thing' I have been impatient
of has been the delay. It Is not n
dangerous delay except for the temper
nf the peoples scattered throughout
the world who arc waiting.
Do you realize, my fellow-citizens,
that the whole world Is waiting on
America? The only cduntry In the
world that Is trusted at this moment
is the United States, and they arc
waiting to sec whether their trust is
justified or not.
That. has been the ground of my

Italy, the President continued, had
presented to the conference contrary
proposal In her request for Flume,
Though there were nnlj scattered
Itnllan settlements there, he declared,
Italy wanted Flume for .strategic and
military purposes. If there were a
league of nations, he nsserted, Italy,
would not need that foothold.

To Right Europe's Wrongs
"This tieat) is an nttempt to right
the wrongs of Bui ope," said the Pres
ident, "and, in ni) humble opiniou,
it is a measuiable success."
He used the word "measurable," he
added, because racial lines were not
always distinct nnd could not be drawn
with absolute piecision on a map.
This wns why, he snid, some of the
boundnry lines were left to be decided
Inter by the people themselves. The
treat) he eleclarcd, was "shot through
with the American principle ot the
choice of the governed."

Mr. Wilson said he had heard a
great deal about the selfishness of other
nations, but that there really was a
