8 PRESIDENT WILL CARRY LEAGUE FIGHT TO PEOPLE .Will Tour Country Because of Resistance Being Made in the Senate 1 Washington, June 17. President f Wilson, facing a divided Senate, has i decided to carry his light for ratifl i cation of the Deague of Nations cov -1 enant directly to the people in a i country-wide speaking tour. He ex pecta to begin the trip as soon as he returns from Paris. The President's decision was re ' vealed coincident with receipt of a 'message in which he declined to give the Senate, in advance of signing the 'official tex of the Peace Treaty. Neither development caused great ■ surprise here, but each served to em phasize the President's position and to provide further subject matter for the debate which begins to-day. on Senator Knox's resolution to put 'the ' Senate on record against accepting the league covenant along with the Peace Treaty.

Germany Must Sign Treaty by Next Monday < Continued From First Page) | on Russia, because of her mobilization of her army, it is pointed , out, is vitiated by the fact that this mobilization was the im mediate result of Austria's action. No Sudden Decision "But the outbreak of the war," the repfy says, "was no sudden decision taken in a difficult crisis. It was the logical outcome of a policy of domination, aggression and war followed by Germany for decades. Hypnotized by Bismarck's spirit of blood and iron, Germany set about sowing suspicion and discord among the na tions, conspiring with elements of unrest in every land, steadily increasing armaments and mobilizing the universities, press, pulpit and governmental authority to indoctrinate the gospel of hatred and essential truth of these charges is admitted by the Germans themselves through their revolution. "The war was a crime deliberately plotted against the life and liberties of the peoples of Europe. It brought death -and mutila tion to millions. Starvation, unemployment and disease stalk across the continent from end to end. The punishment of those responsible for bringing on these calamities is essential on the score of justice and as a deterrent for others who may be tempted to follow their example." The reply asserts the powers cannot "entrust the trial of those responsible to those who have been their accomplices." The tribunals established for the trial of those under charges will rep resent the deliberate judgment of the greater part of the civilized world and there can be question of admitting the right of ju risdiction of representatives of countries which took no part in the war. ' Will Stand by Verdict The Allies, it is declared, will stand by the verdict of history for the impartiality and justice with which the accused will be tried. The accused will be insured full rights to defense and the judgment of the tribunal will have the most solemn judicial char acter. Ihe allied and associated powers are prepared to submit a final list of those who must be handed over to justice within one month of the signing of the treaty. Huns Distort View The Allied and associated powers refuse to enter into a with the principles underlying the reparations clauses, but certain ob servations are made, especially AS the German proposals are sail to "present a view so distorted and in exact as to raise a doubt if the clauses were calmly* and carefully examined." The problem of reparation is of such extraordinary magnitude and complexity that it can be'solved only by a continuing body, limited in personnel and invested with broad powers. The reparation commission is, the reply declares, instructed to exercise its powers so as to insure in"the interest of all as early and complete a discharge by Germany of her reparations obligations as is con sistent with the true maintenance of thp. social, economic and financial structure of Germany. Duty of Commission It is pointed out that the commis sion is not "an engine of oppression nor a device for interfering with Germany's sovereignty. Jts business ajpLsCRO TEESQ|nPi y 1 is to fix what is to be paid, satisfy I itself that Germany can pay and re :port in case Germany does not pay." The commission cannot prescribe ! or enforce taxes or dictate the char acter of the German budget, but may examine the latter to see if any modification is desirable, probably l.n Germany's interests, and to be as sured that German taxation is at least as heavy as the heaviest Allied taxation. It is pointed out that not only are the conditions not Incompatible with the creation by Germany of a com mission to represent her in dealing with the reparation commission and for such co-operation as may be necessary, but it is greatly to be de sired that she will eactly that step. May Odor lump Sum The powers are willing that with in four months of the signature of the treaty Germany may submit any proposals she may choose to make. In particular she may of fer a lump sum for all or part of her liability, undertake to recon struct all or part of a damaged dis trict .offer labor, technical service or material for reconstruction, or, in short, suggest any feasible plan to simplify the assessment of dam age, eliminate any question from the scope of the inquiry, promote the performance of the work or accel erate the definition of the ultimate amount to be paid. Germany must, however, negotiate direct with the powers conperned before making the proposals, submit them in unam biguous form and accept the repara tion clauses as matters beyond dis pute. No arguments or appeals di rected to any alteration will be en tertained. Invited to Give Evidence Within two months thereafter the Allied • and associated powers will answer such proposals and agree to consider seriously and fairly any suggestions made. It is said the problem is largely one of statis tics, of which the powers have—#e xeived but one side. Germany is invited to p&duce evidence which will accelerate final decision. The reply says that the Germans made no definite offer as to repara tions, but "gave only vague expres sions of willingness to do some thing." The sum of 100,000,000,000 marks .which was mentioned in the enemy counter-proposals. is said to give the impression of an exten sive offer, which upon examination it proves not to be. Interest was not to be paid .and until 1928 there would be no substantial payment, after which there could he a series of undefined Instalments "running over nearly half a century. Will Give Germany Assistance Declaring that the resumption of German industry is of interest to the Allies, as well as to Germany, the reply declares that commercial facilities will not be withheld from Germany, but they will afford to Germany facilities for food supplies, raw materials and overseas trans port, under conditions "which can -not be laid down in advance." Must Sign Treaty "Meanwhile, tho Treaty must be signed," the reply declares. "The burdens of Germany undoubtedly ore heavy, but they arc Imposed under conditions of justice by peo ples whose social well being and economic prosperity have been gravely impaired by wrongs which it is beyond the utmost power of Germany to repair." In the financial section of the re ply it is stipulated that reparation must be made prior to the settle ment of all other German public debts, with such exceptions as the commission may approve. Payment for food may also be a first charge, and gold may be exported on ap proval. Germany must pay the ex pense of military occupation, as tin essential guarantee of peace, and war material surrendered after the armistice cannot be credited against reparation. Liberated territories will bear their portion of the pre war debt, but will net agsume any part of the war debt itself. Powers Defend Rights "After the events of the war," It is said, "the powers have the right to demand that Germany be no longer intimately involved in their financial or economic life, or in that of Germany's former allies or Russiu. As the greater part of Germany's foreign securities must be liquidated, the protection of Ger man holders will no longer justify German participation In Interna tional organization." Reserve Right of Demand The right is reserved toi demand of Germany also her credits In Aus tria, Hihpgary, Bulgaria and Turkey. In the discussion of the economic clauses, the reply states that the principles enunciated by President Wilson and embodied in the covenant of the League of Nations as to the equality of trade conditions will be brought Into effect when the world returns to normal, but In the mean time a transitory regime Is essential to save certain allied states from a' position of economic inferiority be cause of the damage done to their territories during the war. Reci procity is impossible at present and a general and Indiscriminate reap plication of muttlateral and bilateral treaties cannot be accepted. Consular relations are not recipro cally estaWished, owing to the war' activity of German consuls. Private property of Germans abroad tmayl be justly used to meet reparation charges. The property of German Institutions for research and educa tion, it Is held, "cannot be immune in the light of their past activities." The German proposals relative to aerial navigation have not been ac cepted. k Objections Too General It is pointed out that German ob jections to the clauses pertaining to ports and waterways are too general to admit of a detailed reply. After outlining the objections made in the German counter proposals, the reply declares that until the transitory period is passed and general con ventions can be laid down, it hes appeared essential that tne provisions lof this section of the treat.* must be enforced. Provision is made for the extension of these provisions and for the ultimate grant of reciprocity but only after five years, unless the Ileague of Nations decides f,> prolong the period. No attempt is made to prevent the legitimate use bv Ger many of her economic **esources, but rather to secure freedom of transit for young, landlocked states. The commissions established by this sec tion of the treaty will function, not alone over German territory but over at least one allied country as well, it is said. The two notes already sent in re ply to the German notes relative to the labor clauses of the treaty are said to cover this subject. The treaty makes provision for the pro tection of labor In territories, and a plan for referring all cases not reached by direct negotiation to impartial technical commissions is inserted in the convention. Quotes Wilson Address In taking up the clauses referring to guarantees, the reply quotes an address by President Wilson, in which he said: "The reason why peace must bo guaranteed is that one of the parties to that peace has proved that his promises arc not worthy of faith." Military occupation by the Allies will continue as a guarantee for the execution of the treaty. IlwSic will also be constituted a civilian body called the Inter-allied Rhineland high commission, consisting of four mem bers, representing Belgium. France, Great Britain and United States. It shall have executive powers and its members shall enjoy diplomatic priv ileges and immunities. Miernians Must Pay Bill The civilian administration shall remain in the hands of the German authorities under German law, except where it may be necessary for the high commission to act. The Allies retain the right to requisition in kind and to demand services. Ger many will be responsible for the ex penses of the high command as well as for those of military occupation. Germany will undertake to place at the disposal of the Allied troops such military establishment and ac commodations as may be required. The transport service and the tele graphic and postal personnel will obey orders given on behalf of the commander-in-chief of the Allied armies for military purpose*. The high commission will have the power, whenever it considers it nec essary, to declare a state of siege in any part or all of the territory concerned. * New York Legislature Ratifies Suffrage Bill Albany.
