It was stated the banks have not reported. document extending democracy over the world and shifting foreign rela tions from a basis of force and war to one of arbitration and peace. Making his second address of the day, the President spoke in Des Moines coliseum, said to seat 7,500. Every chair was taken and many were standing.' Earlier in the day he had spoken at Kansas City, Mo., more than 300 miles away. Describing the world as desper ately in need of the settled condition of peace, the President said the United States, the last nation which the world expected to have to wait upon, was delaying the coming of that peace. The treaty, he said, not only would, establish peace but it would end forever "ffre rule WT few*mcn over the destinies of the many. Citing what happened in Europe with the rise of bolshevism, Mr. Wil son said the move of radicalism and disorder was spreading. “Do you honest’v think that none of that poison has got into the veins of this free people?” he asked. “Men look you calmly in the face in America and tell you they are for that sort of revolution. “So long as the ruestion of what kind of peace the world was to have and what guarantees were to be be hind it remained open, the poison would continue to spread. “How long shall we be kept wait ing for the answer whether the world will trust us or despise us?” he con tinued.” The President said he had not been able to work out the solution of rail way problems until he knew when a peace basis came. The conference of labor and capital in Washington next month, he continued, also would have its deliberations affected by the an swer to the treaty question. Labor “all over the world is waiting,” he asserted, “to see whether the United States accepted the treaty’s provision for an international labor organiza tion.” The United States, said the Presi dent, could not participate in the world labor conference to be held in Washington soon snder the treaty un less the treaty was accepted by this, country. Such a condition would be “inconceivable,” he added, and would lead to the greatest “mortification.” “The world is waiting,” said the President, “to see not whotheci we will o take part, but whether we will take the lead” The fathers of the republic, Mr. Wilson said, intended to set up a standard' to which the world could come for liberty. From all nations, he continued, men had come by millions. Opponents of the league, the Presi dent asserted, were saying, “yes, we made a great promise to the world, but it’ll cost too much to redeem it.” If by deliberate choice the United States became a rival and antagonist of her neighbors instead of their friends, said the President, then it would reap the same reward as a busi ness nian who proceeded on that ba sis. If the United States tried to get all it could selfishly, he continued, then the world would see that it got nothing at all. Just as American soldiers restored the morale of. the fighting peoples of the allies, said the President, so the United*States could now restore the peace morale of the* world. ^“Arfi you going to institute a move against France and England and Ja pan to get Shantung back for China?’ 1 asked the President. On the contrary, he added, estab lishment of the league would be a power to which China could appeal for future justice. Mr. Wilson also discussed Article 10 of the league covenant. Pan-Ger manism and similar plans would be “torn up by the roots.” Of the ultimate outcome of the treaty he had no doubt. “The only thing that can be accom plished,” he said, “is delay: The ulti mate outcome will be the triumphant ^eeptance of the treaty and the league.” The Monroe doctrine provision, he said, had been objected to as vague, because it referred to “such regional understandings as the Monroe doc trine.” , . ' “This language was written,” the President said, “in perfect innocence, and was ‘intended’ to give right of way to the Monroe doctrine in the western hemisphere.” “The language was put in,” he con tinued, “be.ause the other delegates thought it unwise to make specific reference to a polmy of one country without leaving the way open ^ for other. nations to develop ..imilar poli cies in their own localities.” i Greenvlll^ Cara Running.
