AMERICA'S PLEDGE SACRED-WILSON PRESIDENT SAYS OUR PROMISE TO TRY TO PREVENT FUTURE WARS SHOULD BE KEPT. ONLY HOPE IS IN WORLD LEAGUE ? Says Germany Would Not Have Oared to Strike If Nations Had Been Banded Against Aggression. ' (By Mt Clemens News Bureau.) ISt Louis?Displaying a high confidence that his fellow citizens in the |%?^great majority agree with him in his 1 desire to end war forever, and that the peace treaty with its League of : Nations inclusion is ratified by the senate, President Wilson is making a successful way across the country on the long journey he has undertaken for the purpose of laying before the nlftln ru>nnlA a rAT?nrt of his work in M Paris and explaining to them just J what the League means. I Thus far in his travels he has every- . where met with warm greetings, both in the great halls where he has spoken formally and in the little cross 1 road hamlets where his train has < halted at times and. he has exchanged "words with the villagers who pressed forward to greet him. He feels, and does not hesitate to say so when chatting with his traveling companions, that the American people want lib more of war and want to become part of the League so that there may be no more war. He struck his keynote when he said in his first address, in Columbus, Ohio: "This treaty was not intended" merely to end this single war. It is meant as a notice to every government who in the future will attempt this thing (what Germany attempted) that mankind will nnite to inflict the same punishment Thexe is no national triumph to be recorded in this treaty. There is no glory sought for any particular nation. The thought of the I v . statesmen collectd around that table was ol their people, 01 me suiiefiu&a , they had gone through, of the losses they had incurred, of that great throb- bing heart which was so depressed, so forlorn, so sad in every memory it had of the five tragical years that have gone by. Let us never forget , those years, my fellow countrymen; r let us never forget the purpose, high | and disinterested, with which America ; [ lent its strength, not for its own glory ; but for the defense of mankind. , "As I said, this treaty was not meant merely to end this war. It is intended to prevent any similar war. 1 [ I wonder if .some of the opponents of the League of Nations have forgotten : I the promises we made our people be* . -.ore we went to that peace table? We had taker by process of law the 1 dower of our youth from every coun- 1 try side, from every household, and we told those mothers and fathers and Y sisters and wives and sweethearts that we were taking those men to fight a war which would end business of that sort, and if we do not end it, s- ?* Koat tHflt human I II W8 dO QUI UU uto vw? , ? concert of action can do to end it, we are of all men the most unfaithful? the most unfaithful to the loving hearts who suffered in this war, the most unfaithful to those households bowed in grief and yet lifted with the feeling that the lad laid down his life for a great thing, and, among other things, in order that other lads might never have to do the same thing. ("That is what the League of Nations is for?to end this war justly and then not merely to serve notice on governments which could contemplate that they will do so at their peril, but also concerning the combination of power which will prove to them that they will do it at their peril. It is idle to say the worlds will combine I against you; but it is persuasive to say the world is combined against you; The League of Nations is the only thing that can prevent the recurrence of this dreadful catastrophe and redeem our promises." A League of Nations would have prevented the late conflict, the president asserted, explaining: "1 did not meet a single public man who did not admit these things; that' Germany would not have gone into this war if she thought Great Britain was going into it, and she most certainly would never have gone into it ikad fill? dreamea Aaeriw was Into it And they all admit that a notice beforehand that the greatest powers of the world would combine to prevent this sort of thing would prevent it absolutely." Applause and cheers greeted each declaration of the president that wars might be avoided in the future by operations of the League. He pointed out other important features of the Peace Treaty, how it was the redemption of weak nations, giving them freedom which otherwise they never could' have won; how it says "These people have a right to live their own lives under governments which they themselves choose", and how "that is the American Principle and I was glad to flght for it", and that was the very heart of the Treaty, he said. He drew attention to the section ot the Treaty which is a "Magna Charta of Labor," which shall dispose of the hours, conditions and remunerations of labor. "It forecasts the day", he said "which ought to have come long ago, when statesmen will realize that no nation is fortunate which Is not happyt whose people are not contented, tented in their lives and fortunate Ifc: the circumstances or tneir lives". la conclusion the president said he Itlt certain the Treaty will be accept ed and was only impatient of the delay. He added: "Do you realize, my fellow citizens, that the whole world is waiting on America? The only country in the world that is trusted; today !* the United States and thel 'world is awaiting to see if its trust if * ?- .tia.i ? HUGH T.
