PEACE COVENANT Wi CLAUSE LAID I The President Gives an Accoun Crowded Senate; Received Vi And Heard Wtih : GREATER PART OF ADDRESS DEI Succinctness Rather Than Verlx of the Address Which Will Ck of the Most Remarkable I Washington.-President Wilson laid ? tte peacetreaty with Germany bofocv . the senate without attempt to explain ita speclflo tarma. His address, which ' i required 40 minutos for delivery, wa* , devoted almost wholly to the lea gu? ? ot nations. < American isolation, the president 1 aaid, ended 20 years ago at the close j ot the war with Spain. Fear of Amer can motives now also had ended, ha , doclarod. "Thero can be no question of our 1 ?easing to bo a world power," said Mr. Wilson. "Tho only question ls ! whether wo can refuse the moral lead- ! ership that is offered us, whether wo ? shall accept or reject tho oonfidencu ' o ft. h o world." 1 The war and tho peace conference In his opinion, the president said, had . already answered that question, "and nothing but our mistaken action can alter it " ' After tho end of tho gretrt war, the president said, "every enlightened j Judgment demanded that, at whatever j i cost of Independent action, every gov-; > eminent that took thought for its, people, or for Justice or for ordered'( freedom, should lend Itself to a new * purpose and utterly destroy the old . order of international politics." Text of Address. 1 President Wilson, in presenting the peace treaty and the league of na tions to tho senate, spoke as follows: Gentlemen of the Senate: The treaty of peace with Germany was signed at Versailles on tho 2Sth of June. I avail myself of the earliest opportunity to lay tho treaty before you for ratification and to inform you with regard to tho work of tho confer ence by which that treaty wa? formu lated. Tho treaty constitutes nothing less , than a world settlement. It would , not bo possible for mo either to sum- ] marlie or to construe Its manifold- j provisions in an address which must , of necessity be something less than , a treatise. My services and all the , Information T possess will be at yotir , disposal and at the disposal of your , committee on foreign relations at any , time, either informally or In session, < as you may prefer; and I hope that . you will not hesitate to make use of , thom. I shall at this time, erior *o , your own study of tho document at ( tempt only a general characterization of Hs scopo and purpose. , In one senso, no doubt, there ls no j need that I should report to you what i waa attempted and done at Paris. t You have been dafly cognisant ot i what wa? going on there-of the prob lems with which the peace conference had to deal and of the difficulty of . laying down straight lines of settle nient anywhere on a field on Which tht? oid Unes of International relation- . .hip. and the now alike followed so .

The cres . currents of politics and of Internet t must have boen evident tc yo?!.

I shall attempt , something less ambitious than that and more clearly suggested hy my f duty to report to the Congress the part lt soemed necessary for my col- . league? and me to play ns the repre ?tentatives of tho government of th?

We en tered the war es disinterested cham pions of right and we interested our selves In the terms of tho peace In no other capacity. The hopes of the nations allied ipatnst the central powers were at a very low ebb when our soldiers began to pour across the soa. There was everywhero amongst them, except In their stoutest spirits, ? sombre foreboding of disaster. The war ended In November, eight months igo, but you have only to recall what was feared In midsummer last four ?hort months before tho armistice, to n-alize what lt was that our timely aid accomplished alike for their morale and their physical safety. The first, never-to-be-forgotten action at Chateau Thierry, had ?already taken plao*>. Our redoubtable soldiers and marines had already closed the gap die enemy had suocnedod in opening 'or their ndvance upon Paris-had al ready turned tho tide oA battle back towards tho frontiers of Franco and begun tho rout that was to save Eu rope and the world. Thereafter the normans wore to he always forced back, were never to thrust success fully forward again. And yet. there was no confident hopo. Anxious mon ind women, leading spirits of France, attended the celebration of the Fourth of July last year tn Paris out of gen erous courtesy-with no heart for festivity, little zest for hope. Put they name away with s om et hing new at their hearts; they have themselves told us so. Tho mere sight of nor mon-of their vigor, of tho confidence that showed itself in every movement if their stalwart f?garos ?ind every turn r>f their swinging march, in their steady comprehending eyes and easy llsclpline, in the indomitable air that {dried spirit to everything they did made every ono who saw them thnt remarkable day realize that something iad happened thnt was much moro ..han a mere Incident In the fighting, something very different from the mere arrival of fresh troops. A great moral force had flung Itself Into tho struggle. The fine ?physical force of these spirited mon spoke of some thing morti than bodily vigor. They -anded the great Ideals of a free poo dle at their hearts and with that rislon were unconquerable. Their /pry presence brought reassurance; heir fighting made victory certain. They were recognized ns crusaders ind as their thousands swelled to uflllons their strength was seen to mean aalvatlon. And they were flt men o carry such a hope and make good he assurance lt forecast. Finer men never went Into battle; ind their officer? were worthy of hem. This ls not the occasion upon vhlch to utter an eulogy of the annie's Vmerlca sent to France, hilt perhaps, rlnce I am speaking of their mission, may speak alon of the pride I shared vlth every American who sow or lealt with thom th?*-o. They irere tho ort of men Amer-oa would wish to dalra as fellcw countrymen and corn ados In a great muse. They were errH>1? In battle, and gentle and help ui out of it. remembering the mothers md the sisters, the wives and the lit io children nt homo. They were free nen under arm's, not forgetting their deals of duty in the midst of tnskc >f violence. I nm proud to have hnd he privilege of being assoolnted with nen and of calling" myself their eador. But I s peak now of what they neant to the men by wbJbse sides they Ought and to tho people with wtiom hey minRled with such utter slmpllc- j ty, as friends who asked only to be >f service. They were for all the Melble ombodlmerrt of America. What hey did mado America and all that ?ho stood for a living reality in tho houghts not only of tho peoplo of .rance, hjot also of tens of millions >f men and women throughout nil the oiling nations of a world standing everywhere In peril of its freedom and if the loss of everything it hold dear, n dendly fear that Its bonds wore | lever to be loosed, it? hopes forovor o be mocked and disappointed. And the compulsion of what they I itood for was upon us who ropronent ;d America at the peace table.

It waa our duty to do everything that it wus within our power to do to make tho triumph of freedom. Old entanglements of every kind stood in the way-promises which governments had made to ono anoth er in the days when might and r.ight were confused and the power of tho victor was without restraint. Entan glements which contemplated any positions of territory, any extensions 'of sovereignty that might seem to bo ; to the Interest of those who had tho ' power to insist upon them, had been j entered into without thouRht of what j the peoples concerned might wish or profit by; and those could not always j bo honorably brushed aside. It was I not easy to graft tho now order of j ideas on the old, and some of the fruits of tho grafting may, I foar. for j a ttme bo bitter. But, with very few except lom. the mon who sat with us at tho pence table desired as sincerely as w? did to get away from the bad influences, th? illegitimate purposes, tb? demoralizing ambitions, tho inter national counaelfl and expedients out of which the slnster designs of Ger many had sprung as a natural growth. It had been our privilege to formu ! late the principles which were accept j ed as the basis of th? peace, but they had been accepted, not becnuso wo ! had como to hasten and assure the j victory and inslstod upon them, but j because they were readily acceded to as the principles to which honorabt* and enlightened minds everywhere had . been bred. They spoke tho conscience of the world, as well as the conscience of America, and I ara happy to pay my tribute of respect and gratitude to the able, forward-looking men with whom it was' my privilege to co-oper ate for their unfailing spirit of co-op eration, their constant effort to accom modate the interests they represented to the principles we wore all agreed upon. The difficulties, which were many, lay In the circumstances, not often in th? men. Almost without ex coptlon tho men who Ind had caught the true and full vision of the prob lem of peacp as an indlvisable whole, a problem not ot merely adjustment? of Intorests, but of justice und right I action. j I The atmosphere in which the eon- , I ference worked seemed created, not ? j by the ambitions of strong govern- | ments, but by tho hopes and aspira Hons of small nations and of peoples hitherto under bondage to tho power i that victory had shattered and de- j stroyed. Two great empires had been forced into political bankruptcy, and wo were thc receivers. Our task was not only to make peace with tho central empires and remedy the wrongs their armies had done. Tho central empires had lived in open vio lation of many of the rights for which thc war had been fought, dominating alien peoples over whom thoy had no ' naturnl right to rule, enforcing, not obedience, but veritable bondage, ex ploiting these who were weak for the benefit of those who were masters and overlords only by force of arms. There could be no pence until th? whole order of central Europe was set right. That meant that new nations were ' to be created-Poland, Czocho Slo vakia, Hungary itself. No part of an cient Poland had ever in any tm? sonse become a pnrt of Germany, or of I Austria, or of Russia. Bohemia was alien in every thought and hope to i tho monarchy of which sh? had so long been an artificial part; and th? ?RADE r >r Corn.

I/UiHONS, i, s. c. unensy partnership between Austria and Hungary had been one rather of interest than of kinship or sympathy. The Slavs whom Austria had chosen to force into her empire on the south were kept to their obedience by noth ing but fear. Their hearts were with their kinsmen in Hie Balkans. These were all arrangements of power, not arrangements of natural union or as sociation. It was the imperative task of those who would make peace and make it intelligently to establish a new order which would rest upon the free choice of peoples, rather than upon the arbitrary authority of Haps burgs or Hohenzollerns. More than tba*, great populations bound by sympathy and actual kin to Rumania also were linked against their will to the conglomerate Austro Hungarian monarchy or to other alien sovereignties, and it was port of the task of peace to make a new Rumania as well as a new Slavic state clustor ing about Servia. And no natural fronties -could ba found to these new fields of adjust ment and redemption. It was neces sary to look constantly forward to othor related tasks. The German col onies were to be disposed of. They had not been governed; they had bean exploited merely without thought of th? interest or even th? ordinary hu man right? of their inhabit ants. Th? Turkish empire, moreover, had fallen apart, as the Austro-Hungarian had. It never had any real unity. It had bean held together only by piti less, inhuman force. Its peoples cried aloud for release, for succor from un speakable distress, for all that th? new day of hop? s?cmed at last to bring within its dawn. Peoples hith erto in utter darkness were to b? led out into the same light and given at last a helpful hand. Undeveloped peoples ready for recognition but not yet ready to assume tho full respon sibilities of statehood were to be giv en adequate guarantees of friendly protection, guidance and assistance. And out of the execution of these great enterprises of liberty sprang opportunities to attempt what states men had never found the way before to do; an opportunity to throw safe ( Continued on Fifth Page.)
