The only true Americanism, the President said was "that which- pits America in the front with free na tions and redeems the great promises which we made to the world." It would ba a violati on of such relniscs, he said, to attach reservations to the treaty whici'h "whittle it down or weaken it as the -Republican" leaders of the scnate have proposecd to do.'' ho telegrani was in response to the Ifoll'owing message rrom 0. E. Ilamaker, of Portland, Oregon, chair man of the Multononah County .pemocratic central committee: "Primary election May twenty first. Please wire whether you consider It importan to nomihate candidates pledged to ratify Versailles treaty without Lodge reservations." The reply of the president follows: "I think it imperative that the iparty should' at once proclaim itself the uncompromising champion of the nation' shonor and the advocate of everything that tihe( United States can dlo in tli service of humanity, that it shtonld therefore endorse and snp port the Versailles treaty and con demni the Lodge reservations as ut terly inconsistent with tihe nation'; honor and dst ruc'tive of the world leadership which it had established and which all te free peoples of the ui, in id i g the great powers themsel vs, had shown themtselves lead.'y to welcoiie. "It is time that the party should avow that it meanals to try, wtholut flinching or turnign at any time away from 'Ih. patth for reasons of expe. di ieiio'v. to apply moral and chri isti:ian pril:1es to tilie problems of the world. 11 is trying to accomilish so cial, political and Internat Lonal I re formns and is not daunted by any of the difliculties it has to contend with.

As a basis for the arm istice, I was authorized by all the great ;flghting nations to say to the enemy that it was our object in pro posing peace to establish a general association of nations under specific ccvenants for the purpose of affording mutual guarantee., of 'political tide Ipendence and territorial integrity to great and small states alike, and the covenant of the league of nations is the deliberate ebodinent of that pur pose in the treaty of peace. "The chief motives which led us to enter the war will be defeated unless that covenant is ratifIed and acted tupon with vigor. We cannot in honor 'whittle it (own o weaken it as the Republican leaders of the senate have proposed to do if we are to exercise the kind of-leadership to which the founders of the 1itepublic ooked forward and they depended ipon their successors to establish, we must do this thing with courage and unalterable determination.
