STENOGRAPHIC RECORD !
PROVES WILSON RIGHT <
Senator Spencer Had Charged President
Promised to Send Troops to
Air Romania and Service In
Case Of War
Washington, Oct. 11.?The White
House made public today what was '
described as an "official version," of
President Wilson's address at the
eighth plenary session of the Paris
peace conference. The exact word- J
ing of this address, directed to tne i
representatives of Roumania, Ser- (
bia and Czecho-Slovakia, has been (
the subject of a controversy between
the President and Senator
I
Spencer, Republican, Missouri.
The senator has declared in a political
speeches that the President had
promised Roumania and Serbia that
"if any nation ever invaded their j
territory he would send the American
army across the seas to defend
their boundary lines."
Mr. Wilson in a telegTam to the
Senator on Oct. 5. said that this
statement was "false."
In reply, Senator Spencer called
for the official record " saying that
the statement to which he had referred
was in the "stenographic
notes" of the eighth plenary session;
in which the President "was reported
to have said." "You must not forget
that it is force that is the final
guaranty of the peace of the world.
If the world is again troubled the
United States will send to this side
of the ocean their army and their
fleet."
The President's words as given in
the official version follows:
"Wow can,a power HKe xne united
Spates, for example?and I can
speak for no other?after signing
this treaty, if it contains elements
which they do not believe will be
permanent, go three thousand miles
away across the sea and report to
its people that it has made a settlement
of the peace of the world?
It cannot do so. And yet there underlies
all of these transactions the
, expectations on the part, for example,
of Roumania, of Czecho Slo

observed the United States will send
her armies and her navies to see
that they are observed.
The official version of the full
text of the President's address was
furnished to the White House last
week by Fred A. Carlson, of Chicago,
who was an offiical stenogragrapher
with the American Peace
Delegation, and who wrote that he
would "be glad to swear to the accuracy,"
of the transcript.
Mr. Carlson's letter was dated
October 6th., and was addressed to
Charles L. Swem, stenographer to
the President. He explained that he |
had read Senator Spencer's reply to
the President in Chicago newspapers;
that he had just gone over his
notes and that he could find 'no

to Mr. Wilson by the senator. He
added that it was barely possible
that the quotation "was from a(
translation into English of M. Mantoux'
translation into French of the
President's remarks, and as you
know the translations sometimes
mixed things up a bit."
"I wish I were in a position to
make public what the President
made public by Secretary Tumulty,
with this comment:
"This letter speaks for itself."
Senator Spencer in his reply to
President Wilson's telegram of October
5, said the statement which he
had attributed to the President
"was made upon the floor of the
senate on February 2, 1920, by Senator
Reed, and so fair as I have
learned has never been denied until
now."^ v In
his speech of February 2, Senator
Reed quoted from a copyrighted
cyndicated article by Frank H.
Simonds which purported to give
the text of the President's address

which Senator Johnson, Republican
California, caused to be inserted into
the Congressional Record on December
4, 1919.
Along with Mr. Carlson's transcript,
the White House issued in
parallel columns "for comparison"

WOMAN APPLIES
FOR APPOINTMENT
Want Office of Chief Game Warden
Chief game warden of South Carolina
in skirts?
Such was the proposition put up
to Governor Cooper yesterday when
he received an application for appointment
to the place from a woman
of this state.
Not only was the applicant a woman,
but she was a "widow woman"
as they say in Laurens. And what is
more?considerably more?she has
four children.
"It's a man's job to support
four children and I think I ought to
have a man's job," she says in her
application and no one who has
priced children's clothing in recent
weeks will dare gainsay her.
"I know nothing whatever about
the job," she says with engaging
frankness, "but I can learn" and a
"widow woman" supporting foua
children somehow impresses the ordinary
pedestrian as a person whc
could learn?and that with consid
siderable celerity.

In the opposite column from th<

words as previously 'quoter appear
the following:
"Haw could the government o:
the United States go before thi
Congress and the people of th<

had assisted in insuring the peac<
the world, if it believed that th<
settlement agreed upon here con

we all regard as fundamental ar<
challenger, the guarantees whic]
will be given y0u will pledge tha
the United States will send its arm;
and fleet across the ocean. Is i
surprising, under such conditions
that it should desire to reach a ;sc
(lution of the various problem
. which seem to be satisfactory?"
