Senator Lodge. "Going on to an-. \

*-.e Germans are all made over to I
the five principal allies and associat- c
.:d powers, who apparently, as far asj 1
he treaty goes, has power to make ?
disposition of them. I suppose by
mandate or otherwise. Amoncr these r
:>vers<eas possesisohs are the La- 1

Carolinas, I think, the Marshall is-,

lands. 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. I only partially
remember it. It was a paper laying

naval policy in the Pacific and the t
necessity of having some base of
communication upon those islands r
mentioned, just in what form I do.,
not remember. But let me say this,
there is a little island, which I must
admit I had not heard of before."
Senator Williams: "The island of. r
Yap?" }.r
The President: - "Yap. It is one of 1
the bases and centers of radio and t
cable communication on the Pacific, 3
and I made the point that the disposition
or, rather, the control of that s
island should be reserved for the c
general conference which is to be '

liscussion of the subject and nobodyj
las any doubt as to what was:
igreed upon."
Senator Borah brought up the' ^
natter of the withdrawal clause in
eague covenant. '.
i ^
Notice of Withdrawal. jSenator
Borah: "Then if a counrv
should give notice of withdrawal,!1
j
t would be sole judge of whether or-s
iot it had fulfilled its international^ :
ibligations, its covenants to-^thej0
eague?" :
The President: "That is as I un-!r
- ir
lerstand it. 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."

The Shantung question came inj
for long discussion, Senator Johnsonl'
;aking a leaiWng part in the ques^
;ioning of the president. The agree-!1
nent given :>y t::e Japanese was
igain gone o by the president. He
ieclared un . . alifiedly that he had
very confidence Japan would live up!
o the agreement.
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. J j
The president also refused to di-j ulge
how the Americans voted in \
he League of Nations commission, on }
he racial equality amendment intro-;?
iuced by the Japanese. He said he
vas ''not sure he was at liberty to! -)

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

The president said he "had a very
