THE 3EMI.WEEKLY TRIBUNE. NORTH PLATTE, NEBRA8KA. PRESIDENT MAKES PLEA FOR TREAT! Makes Assertion That League of Free Nations Has Become "Practical Necessity." MEANS RELIEF FROM WAR Chief Executive Refers to It as an "Indispensable Instrumentality for the Maintenance of the New Order Set Up In World." Washington, July 10. The somite was called Into session nt 12 o'clock and prayer offered by the chaplain, Rev. Forrest J. I'rettyman, who asked divine guidance for the sennto and the chief executive In the work It wus about to undertake. President Wilson spoke from a smoll rostrum erected by the desk of the reading clerk of tile senate. His address was as follows : Gentlemen of the Senate: The trenty of peace with Germany was signed nt Versailles on the 28th o June. I avail myself qf the earliest opportunity to lay the treaty before fou for ratification and to Inform you with regard to the work of the confer ence by which that treaty was formu lated. The trenty constitutes nothing less than n world settlement. It would not bo possible for mo even to summarize or to construe Its manifold provisions In an address which must of necessity bo something less than a treatise. My services and all the information I pos sess will ho nt your disposal and nt tho disposal of your committee on foreign relations nt nny time, either Informnlly or In session, ns you may prefer! nnd I hope that you will not hesitate to make uso of them. I shall at this time, prior to your own study of tho document, nttempt only a gencrnl characterization of Its scope and purpose. Problems of Conference. In ono sense, no doubt, there Is no need that I should report to yon what was attempted and dono nt Paris. You hnvo been dally cognizant of what was going on there of tho problems with which tho peace conference hnd to dcul and of tho dllllculty of laying down straight lines of settlement anywheres on a Held on which tho old lines of In ternational relationship, and tho now nllke, followed so lntrlcato a. pattern nnd wero for the most part cut so deep by historical circumstances which dominated action where It would have' been best to Ignore or reverse them. Tho cross currents of politics and of interest must hnvo boon evident to you. It would bo presuming In me to attempt to explain tho questions which nroso or tlio many dlverso elements that entered Into them. I' shall attempt something less ambitious than that nnd moro clearly suggested by my duty to report to tho congress tho pnrt it seemed necessary for my colleagues nnd mo to play as tho representatives of the government of tho United States. That part was dictated by the rolo Amorlcu has played In tho war and by the expectations that had been created In thq minds of tfio.pcoples with whom wo had associated ourselves In that great struggle. 8aw Supremacy of Right Periled. Tho United Stntes entered tho war upon a dlfforcnt footing from every other nation except our associates on this side the sea. Wo entered It, not because our material, Interests wore directly threatened or becnuso any spe clal treaty obligations to which wo were parties had been violated, but only becnuso wo snw the supremacy, and even tho validity, of right every where put In Jeopardy and freo gov ernment likely to bo everywhere Im periled by tho Intolerable aggression of a power which respected neither right nor obligation and whose very system of government flouted tho rights of tho citizens as ugalnst tho autocratic authority of his governors. And in tho settlements pf tho pence we have sought no special reparation for ourselves, but only tho restoration of right nnd tho assurance of liberty everywhere that tho effects of tho set tlement wero to bo folt. Wo entered tho war as the disinterested champions of right nnd wo Interested ourstdves in the terms of tho pence- In no other capacity. United States' Timely Aid. Tho hopes of tho nntlons allied against tho centrnl powers were at u very low ebb when our soldiers began to pour across tho sea. There- was ev erywhere amongst them, except In their stoutest spirits, n somber fore boding of disaster. Tho wur ended In November eight months ago, but you havo only to recall what was feared in midsummer last, only four short months before tho armistice, to real i Ize what It was that our timely aid accomplished alike for tholr morale and their physical safety. Tho first, never-to-be-forgotten ac tion ot Chntenu Thierry hnd already taken place. Our redoubtable soldiers nnd marines had already closed the gap1 tho enemy hnd succeeded In open Ing fpr their advance upon Paris hnd already, turned tho tide of battle back toward tho frontiers of France and BEFORE SENATE begun the rout that was to save Eu rope and tho world. Thereafter the Germans wero to be , always forced back, back, wero nevor to thrust suc cessfully forward again. And yet there was no confident hope. Anxious men nnd women, lending spirits of France, attended the cele bration ot the Fourth of .1uly Inst year In Paris out of generous courtesy with no henrt for festivity, Httlo zest of hope. But they enmo away with somctlilng new at their hearts; they have themselves told us so. Tells of Feeling Men Created. The mere sight of our men of their vigor, of the confidence that showed Itself In every movement of their stal wart figures and every turn of their swinging mnrch, In their steady com prehending eyes and easy discipline, In tho Indomitable air that added spirit to everything they did mudc everyone who saw them that memo rable day realize that something hnd happened that was much more than a mere Incident In the lighting, some thing very different from'the more ar rival of fresh troops. A great moral force had dung Itwelf Into the struggle. Tho fine physical force of those spirited men spoke of something more than bodily vigor. They carried tho grent Ideals of a freo people at their hearts and with that vision wero unconquerable. Their very presenco brought reassurance ; (heir fighting made victory certain. They wero recognized as crusaders, and ns their thousnnds swelled to mil lions their strength was seen to mean salvation. And they were lit mert to carry such n hope nnd make good tho nssurnnco It forecast. Finer men never went into battle; anU. their ofllcers were worthy of them. Comrades In Great Cause. This Is not the occasion upon which to utter a eulogy of tho armies Amer ica sent to France, but perhnps, since I am speaking of their mission, I may speak also of tho pride I shared with every American who snw or dealt with them there. They were the sort of men Amcrlcn would wish to bo repre sented by, the sort of men every Amer ican would wish to claim ns fellow countrymen and comrades in a great cause. They wero terrible In battle, nnd gentle nnd helpful out of It, remember ing the mothers and the sisters, the wives and tho little children at home. They wore free men under nrms, not forgetting their Ideals of duty In the midst of tasks of violence. I nm proud to have had tho privilege of being as sociated with, them and. of calling my self their lender. Duty to Quiet Fears of Worldi And the compulsion of what they stood for was upon us who represent ed America at the peace table. It was our duty to see to It that every do clslon wo took pnrt In contributed, so far as wo were nblo to Influence It, to quirt tho fonrs and realize the hopes of tho peoples who had been living In that shndowt tho nations that had como by our assistance to their free dom. It wns our duty to do every thing thnt it was within our power to do to mnko the triumph of fieedom nnd of right a lasting triumph In the assurance of which men might every where llvo without fear. Old cntnngloments of overy kind stood In the vn.v promises which cov ernments hnd made to ono nnother In the days when might nnd right were confused and tho power of tho victor wns without restraint. Engagements which contemplated any dispositions of territory, nny extensions of s'oV' orclgnty that might seem to ho to tho Intercrt of those who hnd the power to Insist upon them had been entered Into without thought ofwhnt tho poo pies concerned might' wish or profit by; nnd theso could not always bo honorably brushed aside. It was not easy to graft the new order of Ideas on tho old, and some of tho fruits of the grafting mny, I fear, for a tlmo bo bitter.. Thrust Upon Conference. Theso wero not tnsks which tho conference looked about to find nnd went out of its wily to perform. They were Inseparable from the settlements of pence. They wero thrust upon It by circumstances which could not bo overlooked. The wnr hnd created them. In all quarters of the world old established relationships had been disturbed or broken nnd nffnlrs wero at loose ends, needing to be mended or united ngnln, but conld-not be made what they wero before. Thpy had to bo set right by applying some uniform principle of Justice or enlightened ex pedlency. And they could not be ad Justed by merely prescribing m a treaty what should bo done. Now stntes were to bo set up which could not hppo to llvo through their first period of weakness without as surcd support by tho great nntlons that had consented to their creation aud woh for them their Independence. Ill-governed colonies could not bo put In the hands ot, governments which wero to act us trustees for their pee plo, and not ns their rrtnsters, If thcro wns to bo no common authority among tho nations to which they were to bo rcsponslblo In tho execution of thqlr trusts. Future International conventions with regard to tho control of water ways, with regard to Illicit' trafllc of mnny kinds, In nrms or In dendly drugs, or with regard to tho adjust ment of mnny varying International administrative arrangements could not bo assured if tho trenty wero to provldo no permanent common Inter national agency, If Its execution In such mntters wns to bo left to tho slow and uncertain processes of co operation by ordinary methods of ne gotiation. Would Forbid New Moves. If the peace conference Itself was to be the end of co-operative authority and common counsel nmong the gov ernments to which tho world wns look ing to enforce Justice and give pledges of nn enduring settlement, regions like the Snur bnsln could not bo put under n temporary administrative re gime which did not lnvolvo n transfer of political sovereignty nnd which contemplated a final determination of its political connections by populnr vote to be taken at n distant date; no free city like Danzig could bo cre ated which was under elaborate inter national gunruntlcs to accept excep tional obligations with regnrd to the uso of Its port and exceptional rela tions with n stote of which It wns not to form n part; properly safeguarded plebiscites could not be provided for, where populations were at some fu ture date to make cholco what sover eignty they would llvo under; no cer tain nnd uniform method of arbitra tion could bo secured for the settle ment of anticipated difficulties of final dpclslon, with regnrd to many matters donlt with in the treaty Itself; the long-continued supervision of the task of reparation which Germany was to undertake to complete within the next generation might entirely break down ; the reconsideration and revision of ad ministrative arrangements nnd restric tions which the trenty prescribed, but which It was recognized might not prove of lasting ndvnntage or entirely fair If too long enforced, would be Im practicable. A league of freo nations hnd become n practical necessity. Exnmine the treaty of peace, and you will find that everywhere throughout Its manifold provisions Its framers have felt obliged to turn to tho League of Nations ns nn Indlspensnble instrumentality for 'the maintenance of the now order It has been their purpose to set up in the world, the world of civilized men. Thnt there should be a League of Nntlons to steady tho counsels nnd maintain tho peaceful understanding of the world, to make, not treaties alone, but tho nccepted principles of International law as well, the actual rule of conduct nmong the govern ments of tho world, has been one of the agreements accepted from the first ns the bnsls of peace with the central powers.. War Statesmen Agreed. The statesmen of nil the belligerent countries wero agreed that such a league must bo created to sustain the settlements that wero to be effected. But at first I think there wns n feel ing nmong some of them that, while It must be attempted, the-formation of such n league was perhaps a counsel of perfection which practical- men, long experience In the world of affairs, must ngreo to very cautiously nnd with mnny misgivings. It was only ns tho difficult work of arranging nn nil but universal adjust ment of the world's affairs advanced from day to day, from ono stage of conference to nnolher, that It becatuo evident to, them thnt what they were seeking would bo llttje more thnn something written upon paper, to bo Interpreted nndnpplled by such meth ods as tho chances of politics might mnko nvnllable,. If they did not provldu a means of common counsel which all wero obliged to accept, a common au thority whoso decisions would be rec ognized us decisions which all must respect. Skeptical Turn to League. And so the most practical, the most skeptical among them turned more and more to the league ns tho author ity through which international action was to bo secured, tho authority with out which, as they had como to see it, It would bo dlflicult to give assured effect to this trenty or to nny other In tcrnatlonnl understanding upon which they were to depend for the mulnte nanco of pence. Tho most practical of tho con ferees were at last tho most ready to refer to the league of nations tho supcrlntcndnucc of nil Interests which did not admit ' of Immediate determination of all administrative problems which wero to require n continuing oversight. What lind scented n counsel of perfection Imd come to seem a plain counsel of neces sity. Tho league of nations was the practical statesman's hope of success In mnny of tho most dlflicult things he was attempting. And It hnd validated Itself in the thought of every member of tho con ference ns something much bigger, muclrVrcntor ovory way thnn a liu-re Instrument for carrying out the pro visions of u particular treaty. It was universally recognized thrtt all the peoples of the world demanded of tho conference that It should create such a continuing concert of free nations as would make wars of aggression nnd spoliation, such ns this that has Just ended, forever Impossible. A cry had gone out from overy homo In every stricken land from which sons nnd brothers nnd fathers hnd gone forth to the grent sucrlflco that such n sacrifice should never again bo exnetcd. It was manifest why It hud been exnetcd. it hnd been exacted becnuso ono nation desired dominion nnd other nntlons hnd known no means of de fense except nrmnments nnd alliances. Old Policy Meant Force. Wnr had lnin at the heart of every arrangement oi uurope ot every arrangement or the world that pre ceded the war. Restive peoples had been told that fleets and armies, which they tolled to sustain, meant peace: and they uow know thnt they had been lied to; that fleets nnd armies had been maintained to promote national ambitions and mennt war. They knew thnt no old policy meant anything else but force, force always force. And they knew that It wus Intolerable.
