OPPONENTS OF
TREATY TO HIT
WILSON'S TRAIL
Senators Will Open Antipact
Campaign in Chicago
Wednesday
Washington, D. C., Sept. 6.—The
anti-treaty specchmaking tour of
the radical Senate opposition will
open at Chicago on next Wednes
day night with Senators Borah, j
Johnson and McCormick as the J
speakers.
The reports which are coming j
back to Washington regarding the j
statements made by the President to |
the audiences assembled in the Mid- I
die West yesterday were proving
frritating to the Senators left in I
Washington. Plans for the counter- |
attack on the stump materialized I
rapidly in consequence, and it wus !
made plain that there will be no I
mincing of words when the radical
opponents get into action.
Senator Harding, of Ohio, gave |
notice that early next week he pro- )
poses to answer the statements of |
the President at Columbus, when he

CONTEMPTIBLE QUITTERS,
FOES ARE CHARACTERIZED
IN ST. LOUIS ADDRESSES
St. Louis, Sept. C. In two ad- I
dresses hero yesterday President ]
Wilson discussed at length disputed
points of the Peace Treaty and in- |
vited those who oppose it to prove
whether they "are not absolute, con
temptible quitters If they do not see
the gairfe through."
The American people, said Mr.
Wilson are to "see it through to the
end, and the end has not come yet."
If the United States keeps out of
the League, he declared, another
war like the last will come soon,"
but if it went in, "it will never
come." It was a square cut issue,
he said, whether the United States
"will redeem its pledge."
The President defended the Shan
tung provision as tho only solution
possible by which China can be as- j
sisted in her effort to regain control j
of Shantung province. Analyzing
Article 10 of the League Covenant, |
he said the League Council could
only advise and could not do that
without concurrence of the Ameri
can members. The right of revolu
tion, he asserted, was scrupulously
preserved.
The President's first address was
at a Chamber of Commerce luncheon
after he had been cheered along the
route of a seven-mile automobile
ride through the streets. He spoke
last night in the Coliseum where
in 191U he was renominated for the
Presidency.
The Presidential party arrived
shortly after 8 o'clock at the Coli
seum, where many national conven
tions have been held. When the
President arrived the crowd cheered
more than four minutes.
The President was introduced by
Governor Frederick D. Gardner, who
said the people of Missouri never
had been more sincere in extend
ing a welcome to any visitor.
When tho Governor introduced Mr.
Wilson as "the father of world
democracy" there was another out
burst of applause. A photographer
in a lookout gallery called through
a megaphone for a moment's atten
tion to take a flashlight, but the
President did not wait, saying this
is "much too serious an occasion
to care how we look, we ought to
care how we think."
Amendment Means Failure
Mr. Wilson declared that to
amend the Treaty would mean its
failure and the isolation of the
United States. Only those who are
ignorant of world affairs, he said,
could believe that even a great na
tion like the United States could
stand by itself and apart.
If the United States is to save its
own economic interests, said the
President, it must save the econ
omic interests of the world. That
was one reason, he continued, why
the United States should have a rep
resentative on the powerful repa
rations commission. If there were
no American voice on this commis
sion, he asserted, this country would
have to put into the hands of foreign
i interests seeking to control world
j markets American money for the re
j habilitation of the world.
"That," said the President, "is
what they call playing a lone hand.
It is playing a lone hand; it is play
ing a hand frozen out. Those who
propose these things do not under
stand tie interests of the United
States."
Should America fail to take its
just part in the world rehabilitation,
he President said, the whole atti
tude of the world toward America
would be changed. Because the
world trusted so much, he said, tho
reaction would be accordingly great.
Emphasizing how economic fea
tures figure in war, Mr. Wilson de
scribed how the Germans had dis
mantled Belgian factories. The war,
he added, was not a political war,
but a "commercial and industrial
war."
Should the United States stand
apart, economically and politically,
the President continued, then it must
|be "physically ready" for trouble.
I The nation must become, he said, "a
I nation in arms."
"You can't afford to be un
friendly to everybody," he continued,
"unless you can afford to have
everybody unfriendly to you."
Germany was not the only nation
which had a secret service, Mr. Wil
son said, but every nation in Eu
rope also was spying on its neigh
bors, because they all had to be
ready for schemes of conquest to be,
sprung.
Alliance, Not a League
The League of Nations, without
the United States, would be "an
alliance and not a league of na
tions." he said.
"Therfe can be no League of Na
tions, in a true sense, without the
partnership of this great people.
And if we are a partner, let me pre
dict we'll be the senior partner. The
other nations arc looking to us for
leadership and direction."
It was a clear choice, said tho
President, between "armed isola
tion" and "peaceful partnership."
He said he had heard it asserted
with "annoying ignorance" that this

league would be a league for war.
"I wonder," he continued, "if
some of the gentlemen who are
commenting on this treaty have
read it. There isn't a phrase of
doubtful meaning in the whole
document.
When the President said if some
body would give him the name of
"one of those gentlemen" he'd send
him a copy, several people in the
crowd yelled "Reed!" The Presi
dent laughed.
The league opponents, the Presi
dent said, seemed to be "figuring
out how soon we could get out of
it." Then he added: "I for one am
not a quitter." and got another
cheer from the crowd.
All the arguments .of the opposi
tion, Mr. Wilson said, were based
on an assumption that every one
was going to break the covenant
and that bad faith was to be the
universal rule.
He described the arbitration and
boycott provisions of the covenant,
and said if any nation went to war,
after these means had been ex
hausted, it meant that nation was
determined to run amuck anyway.
No Politics In Treaty
The President declared there was
no politics in the treaty, and as
serted that both the Republican and
the Democratic national platforms
in 1916 advocated such an arrange
ment as the I,eague of Nations. So
at Paris, he said, he had been obey
ing both parties. He said he was
glad to get away from Washington,
where he "heard politics until some
times I wish both parties were
smothered in their own gas."
The American people, said Mr.
Wilson, are to "see it -through to
the end, and the end has not come
yet." If the United States keeps
out of the league, he declared, an
other war like the last "will come
soon," but if it went in "it will
never come." It was a square-cut
issue, he said, whether the United
States "will redeem its pledge."
For the first time since his speak
ing trip began, President Wilson
referred to notes, having a small
typewritten sheet in his hand.
Describes National Ist
Speaking at a Chamber of Com
merce luncheon the President said
that the greatest nationalist is the
man who wants his nation to be a
great nation.
And a great nation, he added
"was that which penetrates to the
heart of its duty among the na
tions of the world."
To establish and safeguard the
small nations of the world was the
purpose of the treaty. Objection
had been made to this, he said, on
the plea that it was "none of our
business."
Business to Prevent War
"But it is our business," continu
ed the President, "to prevent war,
and if we don't take care of the
weak nations of the world, then
we will have war."
Those who objected, Mr. Wilson
said, should now show how else
peace can be guaranteed. "Bet
them show," he said, "that they are
not absolutely contemptible quit
ters if they don't see this game
through."
The industrial interests of the
United States, said ihe President,
reached far into European affairs.
If the nation only "minded its own
business," he said, "it soon would
have no other business," and would
be isolated politically as well as in
dustrially.
Meantime, the President continued,
the treaty would go into effect and
p.i cat powerful in'.ernationai com
missions would bo sot Jp. Referring
to his request that the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee give approval to
the appointment of an American rep
resentative on the reparations com
mission, the President continued: "I'm
looking after the Industrial relations
of the United States. I would like to
see the other tren n ho are."
The l.eague of Nations the President
defined as "a combination of the
world for arbitration and discussion."
In almost every other national con
troversy where there was a thorough
discussion, he declared, there had
been no war.
"War Is a process of heat." said the
J President, "and what is proposed is
that every hot thought shall be spread
out in the cooling opinion of the
world."
Emphasizing the importance of the
economic boycott feature of the
league covenant, the President said
he didn't think that after their reme
dy had been applied, war would be
necessary.
"That brings a nation to Its senses,"
he said, "just as suffocation removed
:rom an individual all inclination to
light."
Explains Article AI
Alluding to Article Eleven of the
covenant, in which every matter
threatening the peace of the world,
is declared a matter of concern to the
league, Mr. Wilson said that would
give any nation a right to take a
TREATY FOES
GAIN GROUND
IN THEIR FIGHT
Republican Senators Coni'i
dent Reservations Will
Be Adopted
Washington, September 6. An
nonucement by the Treaty opponents
of the Senate Committee on Foreign
Relations of the program of reserva
tions and amendments they will urge
the Senate to adopt enabled tho con
tending forces to move toward crys
tallization of sentiment as to what
they will fight for in connection with
ratification.
The initial advantage in the fight
which now begins in earnest on the
floor of the Senate appears to rest
with the advocates of reservations,
which would be included in and made
a part of the ratifying resolution and
accordingly requiring actual accept
ance by the principal Allied and As
sociated powers before the Treaty be
comes operative as to the United
States.
Senators Capper, of Kansas, and
Kenyon, of lowa, both regarded ad
ministration leaders of "mild rescr
vatiooists" announced that the pro
gram adopted by the Foreign Rela
tions committee, met with their ap
proval and would have their sup
port.
"This is what 1 have been for all
along," said the Senator from lowa,
and Senator Capper stated "the reser
vations meet with my approval and
I shall support them."
Article X an Isaue
"The middle-ground" Republican
,-enators were held to favor the first,
third and fourth of the reservations
of the committee, but to object to the
second, that dealing with Article X
of the League of Nations Covenant
concerning guaranteeing the terri
torial integrity of member nations.
This grcup of Senators includes Mc-
Cumber, of North Dakota; McN'ary, of
Oregon; Colt, of Rhode Island; Kel
logg, of Minnesota; Nelson, of Minne
sota; Lenrcot, of Wisconsin and Spen
cer, of Missouri.
Several of these Senators, notably
Lenroot, Colt and Spencer, expressed
objections to the unnecessarily dras
tic form of the reservation on Article
X and to the insistence that at least
three of the four "principal Allied and
Associated powers" should accept the
reservations. They objected also to
the inclusion of reservations against
other sections of the League of Na
tions, especially the power of econom
ic boycott in the reservations against
Article Ten.
The Republican leaders appeared
confident that the objections to the
committee reservations were largely
d.(Terences as to phraseology and that
in the end the "middle ground" Sen
ators would vote for the committee
program, rather in preference to hav
ing all reservations defeated.
Republicans Optimistic
The Republican Senators on the
committee professed absolute confi
dence that reservations would be
adopted as part of tho resolution of
ratific ition and that the acceptance by
the other powers would be a condi
tion to participation by tho Urited
States in the Treaty.
'these Senators were not so san
guine as to the prospects of victory
in the matter of actual textual amend
ments to the Treaty, although they
continued to insist the four amend
ments adopted by the committee would
be suppo.-ted by the Senate.
friendly part in the settlement of
threatening situations as rcgaids its
reighbors.
•And if you must give the secret
away," he added, "I wrote those
words myself."
The provision against separate
treaties also was emphasized by the
President who said that cleared away
the most dangerous and embarrassing
Clement in international affairs.
Taking up the Shantung provision
of the Treaty, Mr. Wilson said he had
rot the slightest doubt Japan would
fulfill her promise to return the
province.
If the Treaty failed, the President
said then there would be no hold at
all upon Japan to make her carry out
that promise, whereas if she were
brought into the league, there would
be a hold upon her.
'lf you are going to get Shantung
province back to China and these
foreign wars, then how are you going
to get it back?"
It would not be a real friendship
to China "to scuttle and run," he de
clared, adding:—
'That's not the kind of an American
I am."
At this declaration the crowd rose
and cheered.
Article Ten of the covenant, the
President said was the heart of the
league. The language giving the
league power to "advise" what steps
should be taken in international con
troversies. said the President, meant
just what it said. He added that he
always thought he knew what "ad
vise" meant until he returned from
Paris.
