Great Aims of Treaty
Explained by Wilson
By tho Associated Tress
Oakland, Calif.. Sent, in. The text
of President Wilson's address hero last
night was in part as follows:
. I am not going to speak tonight
r particularly of the covenant of the
leaguo of nations, but I am going to
point out to )ou what the tnaty as
n whole is.
In the first place, of course, that
treat imposes upon Oorinnm the
proper pcnaltj for the crime she at
tempted to commit. It is a jut
treaty in spite of its severity. It it
n treaty made by men who had no
intention of cruhlug the German
people, but who did mean to have it
burnt into the consciousness of the
German people, and thiough their"
consciousness into tno apprehension
of the world, that no people could
afford to live under n government
which was not controlled by their
purpose and will, but which was at
liberty to impose becrct ambitions
upon civilization.
It was intended ns notice to nil
mankind thnt rn government that
nttcmptrd what Gcrminy attempted
would meet with the same concerted
opposition of mankind nnd would
have meted out to it tho same jut
retribution.
Warning for AH Time
Notice is given in the erv first
articles of the treaty thnt hereafter
it will be a matter of certaint that
nations contemplating what the gov
ernment of Gcrmanv contemplated
will hnovv thnt mankind in sciriod
rnnks will defend to the Inst the
rights of human beings wherever they
are
This is the first peoples' trcatr,
This is n treaty not mcrelv for the
peoples who nre represented nt the
peace table, but for tho people who
wero the subjects of the government
whose wrongs were forever ended b
the -victory on the fields of Trance.
Mv fellow citizens, jou know nnd
you hear it said every da ; you
read it in the newspapers; ou hear
it in the conversation of vour friends,
that there is unrest all over the world,
nnd when ou look into the history,
not of cur own free and fortunate
continent, happily, "'but of the rest
of the world jou will find that the
hand of pitiless power has been upon
the shoulders of mankind since time
began and that onlv with that little
glimmer of light which came at Cal
mly, that first dawn which came with
the Christian era, did men begin to
awaken to the dignity aud light of
the human soul.
Givo Liberty to tlio Weak
There is little fot the great part
of Iiumanltj in the history of the
woild except the Mttcr tears n dtitv
and the hot curs of wrath, and when
vou look, as wc were permitted to
look, in Parts into some of the par
ticular wrongs which tho peoples
upon whom the first foundations of
the new German power were to bo
built had suffered for generations,
jou wonder whv thcv lay so long
quiet, OU wonder whj btntesmen,
men who pretended to have an outlook
upon the world, waited bo long to de
liver them.
The chnracteiistic of this treaty Is
that it gives liberty to peoples who
never cou'd have won it for them
selves. By giving them liberty it
limits the ambitions aud defeats the
hopes of all imperialistic governments
in the world. It is astonishing that
tins great documint did not come as
a shock upon tho world.
If the world had not alrcadv been
rent by the great struggle which pre
ceded this settlement men would
havo stood in amazement nt such 11
document as this.

to arrange those things which had
been already arranged upon n com
petitive basis, upon n co-operntivc
basis.
You have heard of the covenant of
tho league of nations, until, I dnro
say, vou have supposed that Is tho
only thing in the treatv. On the con
trary there is a document, almost ns
extensive, in the latter part of the
treat, which is nothing less than n
great clmiter of liberty for the work
iug men nnd women. One of the
most striking nuil useful provisions
of the covenant of the league of na
tions is that ever member of tho
league undertakes to advance tho
humane conditions of labor for
men, women nnd children, to
consider the interests of labor
under its own jurisdiction nnd
to try to extend to ever nation with
which it has nnv dealings the, stand
ards of labor upon which it. itself,
insists, so thnt America, which has
by no means jet l cached the stand
ards in these mntters whiih we must
and shall reach, nevertheless, is tho
most advanced nitinn in the world
in the respect of tlie conditions of
labor, undertakes to bring nil the
influences it can legltimntel beat
upon every nation with which it has
any dealings, to see thnt labor there
is put upon ns good a footing ns la
bor in America.
In the covenant of the league thcro
is nn elaborate arrangement for n
periodic international conference in
the interest of labor. It provides that
that conference shall be called next
month in the citv of Washington by
the President of the United States,
nnd the President of the United States
has already called it. Wc are wait
ing to learn from the Senate of the
I uited States whether vc can at
tend it oi not. AVe can, nt least,
sit mid listen and wonder how long
we nre going to be kept out of mem
bership of tills great humane en
deavor. To Co-nrdlnato Endeavors
This treaty attempts to co-ordliinte
all the great humane endeavors of the
woild. It tries to brlug under m-ti-rnntionit'
co-nneratlnn everv- ef
fort to check international crime like
that tinsnenkab'e tialhc in women,
like nn almost equally unspeakable
traffic in children. It undertakes to
control the dealing in deadly drugs
like opium, it organizes a new method
of co-operation among nil the great
Rid Cios soeieths nf the world
and, I tell you, mv ftllovv citizens,
that the simple Red Tross has come
to mean to the world more than it
ever meant before. Everywhere, m
the remotest lecessrs of the world;
tlie'o nr(. neonlp who wear thnt svm
bnl and very time 1 look at it I feo)
like taking off mv hit, as if I had
seen a symbol of the world's heart.
This treaty is nothing else than un
organization of liberty aud mercy
foi the woild.
One of tho interesting provisions of
the covenant of the league of na
tions is that it is a league of free,
independent peoples all over the
world. Aud when that great ar
rangement is consummated there is
not going to be a ruler in the world
that does not take his advice from
his people.

What Determines
Cigar Enjoyment?
Blending!
-owe mJ
Without proper blending, the finest tobaccos wHiN,
fail to please your taste.
It is the blending that makes El Producto so pop
ular. Skilled blending of the choicest Havana
tobacco has given El Producto its distinctive char
acter a character that you can find in no other
cigar, because a blend cannot be copied.
Fine Havana filler and selected shade grown wrap
per give El Producto its taste; skilled workmanship
makes it smoke smoothly and evenly to give real
enjoyment to the last puff.
Nine shapes and sizes from which to select the
cigar that meets your fancy. Prices range from ten
