PRESIDENT SPEAKS
ATGHEYENNE,WYO,
Asks "Showdown" for League;
Lost if Amended.
MEMS PACT WITH GERMANS
Senate Amendment Would Do Rejeo
tlon of tho Treaty and Negotla-
tlons With Berlin for Separ.
ate Agreement.
Cheyenne, Wyo., Sept. 23. Heading
ignln the proposed senate reservation
to article X of tho league covenant,
rresiuent Wilson said in utt address
here that should any such reservation
bo adopted ho would "bo ohllced ns
chief executive to regard It as a re
jection or tho treaty."
The president udded that rcjectlou
nf the treaty would mean negotiation
of a sepnrnte peace with Germany and
asserted thut such a negotiation could
not change a single Item of the peuce
fcottloment.
The reservation rend by tho presi
dent was tho hamo thut ho laid before
his audience ut tho Salt Lake City
tabernacle. By Us provisions the
United States would assume no obli
gation to preserve tho territorial In
tegrity of other nations unless con
gress should so decide.
Unworthy and Ridiculous.
"It Is us though you suld wo will
not Join tho longuo now," suld lie, "hut
may Join it from time to time. We
won't promise anything, but from time
to tlmo wo may co-operate.
"Tho tiling is unworthy and ridicu
lous. It means the rejection of the
treaty, nothing less. Tho lssuo Is final.
We can't avoid It. We've got to inukc
tho decision now and, once made,
there can he no turning back."
Unless tho United States went Into
Hie league now, ho added, and as
mined Its full responsibility It would
liavo to como In Inter with Germany.
Opposed by Pro-Germans.
Asserting that tho overwhelming
nnjorlty of tho people wcro for tho
treaty, the president said that the only
)rgonlzcd elements opposing ratifica
tion wcro tho pro-German elements
Hid others who "showed their hyphen
luring the wur."
Opponents of tho treaty, Mr. Wilson
mid, mado mnny Insupportublo objec
tions, but had "debated seriously" only
sue of these objections, the Shantung
Il-IIIUIIIUIH.
Ho went into tho history of tho
Shantung concession, pointing out thnt
President McKinloy did not protest
Jvhen Germany acquired tho Shantung
Ights now given Japan. Tho settle
neiit included In the Versnlll.es treaty,
ho assorted, was "unavoidable," whllo
tho Leaguo of Nations offered tho best
lope for China's recovery of her lost
jroVlnce. ,
No Precedent for Protest.
Tho United Spates, nnsortcd tho
president, had no precedent in Inter
national law for even protesting
against Japan's acquisition of tho
dhuntung rights. But ho added that
under artlclo 11 of tho league cove
nant It would be tho friendly right of
a nutlon to protest against any such
ittuntlon which endangered peaco. For
the first time, ho said, tho United
Stutes could, under tho league, becomo
Hie "effectlvo friend of China."
Asks "Showdown."
Hccalllug Japan's promise to return
to China all sovereign rights In Shan
tung, tho president said tho only thlnn
retained by tho Tokyo government
would b economic rights, such a?
other nations hold. Ho said the
United States bad no right to doubt
that promise.
Ho characterized as "empty noise"
tho professions of friendship of China
made by those who want tho troaty
to fall.
Turning to tho league covenant, the
president said tho question of whether
tho heart of tho league covenant was
to bo cfit out soon inuRt como to a
"showdown."
It would mean tho vitiation of the
wholo plan, ho assorted, if tho nation
were to adopt reservations to article
10 as proposed In tho senate.
Talks of Six Votes.
One by one. he said, tho other oh.
jectlons to the covenant had been dis
posed or. to an "cumiid minds," ho
asserted, It now was apparent thnt the
Monroe doctrine was fully protected;
that there was no stipergovernment
set up, and that no danger was to bo
feared from tho "speaking parts" given
to tho British dominions In tho league
assembly,
Tho presidential party arrived hero
at four o'clock and was greeted by an
escort from tho Fifteenth cavalry,
stationed at Fort D. A. Russell, and
by a committee of citizen!?.
A lino of march was formed prompt
y and tho visitors were escorted
through decorated streets. Tho presi
dent Was cheered cmtlnuully.
President Wilson devoted part of tlm
duy to reading newspapers picked up
nt Hawilns and scanned with Interest
news of tho Heel strike, Tho presi
dent still was without olllclal Informa
tion concerning the strlko and White
House olllclals accompanying tho pres
