PRESIDENT WILSON SAYS LET < PEOPLE SETTLE TREATY FIGHT t Scores United States Senate for Its ; Failure to Ratify Peace Pact, and Declares Public Wants Covenant. ! Washington, Jan. 8.?President Wilson in his message to the Jack-1 son Day diners here tonight said; ''the clear and single" way to deter-! mine the will of the American peo-; pie on the league of nations was to i i 1 make it an issue at the next election. ; The President's message said noth- J ing whatever about a third term for i himself and neither did it say even ! by implication or intimation that he | would be a candidate, as had beer, j widely forecast. Almost all of the; President's message was devoted to' an expression of his argument of! why he considered it the duty of the United States to join in the league of nations covenant and why he considered the war not really won until it did. Another attempt to crush the new nations of Europe would be, made, the President said, /if the j United States held aloof. i Talks on Ratification. The President again expressed his! attitude toward reservations much as; he did at his conference with the senate foreign relations committee, in this language: "If the Senate wishes to say what the undoubted meaning of the treaty is, I shall have no objection, i There can be no reasonable objection j interpretations accompanying the i act of ratification itself. But when 1 the treaty is acted upon I must know; whether it means that we have rat- j ified or rejected it. We cannot re-1 write this treaty. We must take it! wihout changes which alter its mean-; ir.g or leave it and then, after the rest of the world has signed it, we j must face the unthinkable task of j making another and separate kind of treaty with Germany." President's Message. The full text of the President's w?<"w?.e>ocr& -fr>] 1 ? illCOOOgV AV.av "It is with keenest regret that I find that I am to be deprived of the pleasure and privilege of joining you and the other loyal Democrats who are to assemble tonight to celebrate , T"k ? ?J oAnAtn fVioi-r vnu'S ft"f JaCKSOn uay anu luvii < ? fidelity to the great principles of our party, the principles which must now, fulfill the hopes not only of our own ! people, but of the world. "The United States enjoyed the , spiritual leadership of the world until, the Senate of the United States failed to ratify the treaty by which the bel liferent nations sought to effect the j settlements for which they had j fought throughout the war. It is in- j conceivable that at this supreme crisis and final turning point m mc jh^- . national relations of the whole world,! when the results of the great war are by no means determined and are still questionable and dependent upon events which no man can foresee or count upon, the United States should withdraw from the concert of pro-1 ~ressive and enlightened nations by j which Germany was defeated and all J * "" -Li- - ?Kq similar governments \ix uie ^ , so unhappy as to to contain any) , warned of the certain consequences of any attempt of a like iniquity, and yet that is the effect of the course the j Senate of the United States has taken wih regard to the treaty of, Versailles.

The old spies are free to resume their former abominable activities. They are again at liberty to make it im-' possible for governments to be sure what mischief is being worked among their own people, what internal disorders are being fomented. Without, the covenant of the league of nations there may be as many secret treaties as ever to destroy the confidence of: governmnts in each other and their validity can not be questioned. "None of the objects we professed to be lighting for has been secured,' norfairt r>f without Ot L'Ctll UC lilHUV v?... this nation's ratification of the treaty j and its entry into the covenant. "This nation entered the great war | to vindicate its own rights and to protect and preserve free govern-; ment. It went into the war to see it through to the end and the end has not yet come. It went into the war to make an end of militarism, to furnish guarantees to weak nations and to make a just and lasting peace, it entered it with noble enthusiasm. Five of the leading: belligerents have accepted the treaty and formal rati- j fications will scon be exchanged. Entered Wholeheartedly. "The question is whether this country will enter and enter wholehearted!}'. 2? it does not do so the United States and Germany will play a lone hand in the world.

The point is that the United States is the only nation which has sufficient moral force with the rest of the world to guarantee the substitution of discussion for wrar. If we keep out of this agreement, if we do not give our guarantees, then another attempt will be made to crush the new nations of Europe. "I do not believe that this is what the people of this country wish or will be satisfied with. Personally I do not accept the action of the Senate of the United States as the decision of the nation. I have asserted from the first that the overwhelming majority of the people of this country desire the ratification of the treaty, and my impression to that effect has recently been confirmed by the unmistakable evidences of public opinion given during my visit to seventeen of the States. j "I have endeavored to make it plain that if the Senate wishes to say i what the undoubted meaning of the league is I shall have no objection. There can be no reasonable objection to interpretations accompanying the act of ratification itself. But when the treaty is acted upon I must know whether it means that we have ratified or rejected it. We cannot rewrite this treaty. We must take it without changes which alter its meaning or leave it, and then after the rest of the world has signed it we must face the unthinkable task of making another and separate kind of treaty with Germany. But no mere assertions with regard to the wish and opinion of the country are credited. "If there is any doubt as to what the people of the country think of this vital matter, the clear and single way out is to submit it for determination at the next election to the voters of the nation, to give the next election the form of a great and solem referendum, a referendum as to the part the United States is to play in completing the settlements of the war and in the prevention in tne future of such outrages as Germany attempted to perpetrate.

His mind grasped with i such a splendid defmiteness and firm-j : ness the principle of national author-1 | ity and national action. He was so. i indomitable in his purpose to give ; I reality to the principles of the gov-1 ernment that this is a very fortunate time to recall his career and to renew our vow of faithfulness to the principles and the pure practices of democracy.
