" wh [ ' y . Address of President. is Aesident Wilson's spceeh, in full gl\ follows: raf j coi My Fellow Countrymen,: ! lat It is to be beared max ine supreme j ne ssuG presented for your considera- j inc tion in the present campaign is grow-1 hei mg more obscure rather than clearer jtoi by reason of the many arbitrary i It turns the discussion of it has taken, the The editors and publishers of the bir country would render a great ser- wa vice if they would publish the full ma text of the covenant of the league me of rations, because, having read the zpi text,,you would be able to judge for wh yourselves a great many things in wo which you are now in danger of be- en1 ir.g misled. I hope sincerely that it j pe< vorir im'Hclv arH fenerallv I hp W-lll kj * vijf o V ? ? published entirely. It is with a de- plo sire to reelarify the issue and to as- sal sict your judgment that I take the lar liberty-of stating again the case sub- wh mitted to you, in as simple tsrms as W< possible. is Three years ago it was my duty th? to summon you to the concert of pu: war. to join the free nations of the wh world in meeting and ending the im most sinister peril that had ever been frt developed in the irresponsible poli-'of tics of the old world. Your response ' of to that call really settled the for-. pie tune? of war. You will remember '> civ that the morale of the German peo-' thi pie broke down long before the ou strength of the German armies was wi] broken. That was obviously because hi? they felt that a great moral force: th* wh?ch they could not look in the face ; as had come into the contest, and that' crt thenceforth all their professions of' las right were discredited and they were j th< j unable to pretend that their contin- j sai uation of the war was not the sup-!na port of a government that had vio- pri lated every principle of right and of every consideration of humanity. Th It is my privilege to summon you! b1( now to the concert of peace and the to completion of the great moral trf achievement on your part which the ve: war represented and in the presence' wl1 of which the world found a reassur-j wY ance and a recovery of force which thi it could have experienced in no other an way. We entered the war, as you th< remember, not merely to beat Ger- fu many, but to end the possibility of jjm \ e renewal of such iniquitous hemes as Germany entertained, le war will have been fought in vain d our immense sacrifices thrown ray unless we complete the work i then began, and I ask you to confer that there is only one way to sure the world of peace; that is. ' making it so dangerous to break e peace that no other nation wil" ve the audacity to attempt it. We ould not be deceived into supposg that imperialistic schemes endec th the defeat of Germany, or tha irmany is the only nation that en rtained such schemes or was movec' ' sinister ambitions and long stand g jealousies to attack the ver\ ructure of civilization. There are her nations which are likely to, be werfully moved or are alread;, Dved by commercial jealousy by thr cire to dominate and to have their ,rn way in politics and in enterprise d it is necessary to check them d to apprise them that the work: 11 be united Against them as it wa ainst Germany, if they attemp y similar thing. .> Sacrifice of War. The mothers and \\ sisters and ves of the country know the sacice of war. They will feel that we ,ve misled them and compelled em to make an entirely unnecesry sacrifice of their beloved ones if i do not make it as certain as it can made that no similar sacrifice will : demanded of mothers, sisters and ves in the future. This duty is plgin that it seems to m3 to confute a primary demand upon the nscience of every one of us. It ia conceivable to most of .us that any .-1 U ttA/tn on foUo fit' <cn sn SIIOUJU nave uccu ou ??? . ~ artless as to declare that the wozn of :he eountry would again have suffer the intolerable burden and ivation of war if the league of na ns were adopted. The league of tions is the well considered effort the whole group of nations who ;re opposed to Germany to secure smselves and the rest of mankind ainst a repetition of the war. It 11 have back of it the watchfulss and material force of all these Hons, and is such a guarantee of peaceful future as no well informman can question who docs not ubt the whole spirit with which the r was conducted against Germany, e gjreat moral influence of the lited States, will be absolutely :own away if we do not complete i task which our soldiers and sails' so heroically undertook to e;:ite. . . One thing ought to be said, and d very clearly, about Article 10 of > covenant of the league- of nans. It is the specific pledge of the rmbers of the league that they will ite to resist exactly the things ich Germany attempted, no matter .0 attempts them in the future. It as exact a definition as could be ren in general terms of the out je which Germany would nave emitted if it could. Germany vioed the territorial integrity of her ighbors and flouted their political lependenfe in order to aggrandize rself, and almost every war of his y has originated in such .designs, is significant that the nations of 5 world should have at last comled to define the general cause of r and to exercise such concert as ,y be necessary to prevent such :thod3. Article 10 therefore, is the ?cific redemption of the pledge ich the free governments of the rid gave to their people when they tered the war. Thsy promised their Dple not only that Germany would prevented from carrying out her ?t, but that the world would be :eguarded in the future from simidesigns. We have now to choose ether we will make good or quit. ; have joined issue, and the issue between the spirit and purpose of ! United States and the spirit and rpose of imperialism, no matter ere it shows itself. . The spirit of perialism is absolutely opposed to ;e government, to the safe life free nations, to the development peaceful industry ar.d to the condition of the righteous processes of ilization. It seems to me, and I nk it will seem to you, that it is r duty to show the indomitable II and irresistible majesty of ihe ;h purpose of the United States, so it the pa~t we played in the war soldi r-. .me! tailor- : :v.* ;>o >wned with the achievement of ting peace. No one who opposes i ratification of the treaty of Verlles and the adoption of the cove' *1? r\-f VilS Til OX LI1U lCd^uu ui ituvivit^ ? Dposed any other adequate means bringing about settled peace. iere is no other available or possi; means, and this means is ready hand. They have, on the coniry, tried to persuade you that the ry pledge contained in Article 10, lich is the essential pledge of the lole plan of recurity, is itself a reat of war. It is, on the contrary, assurance of the concert of all 2 free people of the world in the ture as in the recent past, to see stice done and humanity protected ^ Three Piecc Suit lr> Smartest Mode j C . ! p ssgfwggg ""*| i ' : :::i- t ^ ii : ; V ; I 'V h . !t I E -Sm- ? jA h f 'mm $%0 ti \ S 4x' !;!v/;$M:i t ;-,pHH ?5SI ii ,yM';fe...iaL-Lj?; -.-,- ""4 , 11?

The*- nation was never ^ called upon to rmake a more solemn ^ determination thin it must now make.

We have reason to know that we represent a vast number of other Republicans throu?h6ut the United States who arc ready to put patriotism above party "in the present critical hour. ? * a AS ycur ierm -01 onice is urawmg to its close, and. r.s the people are about to express themselves on the league of nations which ycur statesmanship has largely made possible, we feel it both a .duty and a privilege to call upon you at this time in order to assure you that there are many Republicans who are proud to acknowledge your great services to the realm of international justice and who fully and deeply appreciate the personal sacrifices you have been forced to make for the cause nearest your heait. * i It was you who first focused the netcroueneous and often diverse aims of the war on the one ideal of pure Americanism, which is democracy. It was you who suggested the basis on which peacc was negotiated. It was you, more than any man, who trans-1 lated into practical statesmanship the | age-old dreams of the poets, the prophets and the philosophers by setting up a league of nations to the end that cooperation should be substituted for competition in international affairs. These acts of statesmanship were undoubtedly the chief factors which brought about that < | victorious peace which has shorn Germany of her power to subdue her neighbors, has compelled her to make (restitution for her crimes, has freed Joppiessed peoples, has restored ravI aged territories, has created new j {democracies in the likeness cf th?; (United States and, above all. has set: j up the? league of nations.
