Has there been any recommade by our naval auTiorities in regard to .the importance 1 of our having one island there, not r for territoral purposes, but for nav-i. al purposes?" t The Presided: "There was a pac per on that subject, senator, which , has been published.

Senator Borah brought up the' ^ natter of the withdrawal clause in eague covenant.

The only restraining in- luences would bo the public opinion;1 if the world." Senator Harding: ''Mr. President, % issuming that your construction of f be withdrawal clause is the under- ' tanding of the formulating com- c nission, why is the language mak- ; ng the proviso for the fulfillment'1 if the covenant put into the article?' ' The President: "Merely as an:' irgument to the conscience of the lations. In other words, it is a c lotice served on them that their col-!r 1 eagues will expect that at the time hey withdraw they will have fulfill-i; d their obligations." I c Senator Harding: "The language| ' eems hardly to make that impli-j1 ation, because it expressly says,!3 provided it has fulfilled its obliga-j * ions."' . * The President: "Yes." ?- 1 i or Rent iles from Abbeville, adjoini.

An international secret. i The president declined to answer aj, luestion in, connection with the Am-: :rican commission's advocacy of fix-j ng a specified reparation sum, and ] vhy it failed to get such an arrange-{ nent. The president said he would; ell about it, if it was left out of the, iotes. . "It is not an explanation discred-' ti tabic to anybody," the president! ( aid, "but it is an international se-it i1 ret. Th?y affect the internal politi-! \ al affairs- of other countries." : ? The president added that he . did j lot thin); matters of this sort should , ;ver be given publicly, and the ques-.j ion was passed.

He said he vas ''not sure he was at liberty to! -) nlovV.x IjcCnu-d that touches the inimacy of a gre'at many controversies hat>occurred in the conference." j ''I think it is best in the interest: ?f good understanding that I should lot answer," the president added. !1 Replying to a question of Senator! tfcCumber, as to whether "our moral, onviction of the uprighteousness of, he German war would have brought is in if Germany had not committed my acts against us, as we had no ^eague of Nations at that time," the resident replied: \ Shantung Disappointing. "I hope it would eventually, senior, ast things developed." Senator McCumber: "Do you think! hat if Germany had committed no J ict of war against us, or no act ofj njustice against our citizens that we' vould have gotten into this war?" The President: "f-do think so." j Senator McCumber: "You think ve would have gotten in anyway?" The President: "I do." When Senator Johnson returned to ;he question of secret treaties, the ?resident stated explicitly that the cnew nothing of the pact of London >r other secret treaties, when he outined his fourteen points. He reiterated that the Shantung iettlement was a disappointment to lim. fe The president said America made. 10 promises to China but she knew ve would dp all possible to protect ler interests at the peace table. "And the decision (Shantung) ultinatgly reached at the peace confer;nce was a disappointment to you?" isked Johnson. "Yes, sir," replied the president. I may frankly say that it was." Senator Brandegee brought up the question of putting a definite time limit or the American-Jfranco alliance, asking the president if it would lot be the part of prudence to inilude in the treaty a provision that it A-all not exist for more' than ten!
