WILSON'S WORDS . ' CLEAR OP DOUBT ( CALIFORNIA THROWS OVER ITS i LEADER, JOHNSON. AND RALLIES TO LEAGUE. i WEST GIVES HIM OVATION All Doubtful Feature* of Pact Apo i Explained Away By President, and Formor Doubters hasten to Givo I ^ Him The?* Support. k m __ (Br Independent N*ws Bureau, formerly 1 it. Clemens News Bu:wau.> ] board President Wilson's Special Train?A continuous o vat ton along the Pacific coast and then on his eastward ay back toward the capital was given to President Wilson as he came toward the end o! his month daylong ( speaking tour in l-ehalf of the League of Nations. California, particularly the delightful city of Loe Angeles, went j wild In its enthusiasm for him and his * advocacy of the League, and it was 1n that state, perhaps, that he did his most successful missionary work. Hiram Johnson, California's former governor, now her United States senator, and considered by her as the most likely Repnbllcan candidate for the presidency in 1920, had before the ar> rival of Presidei.t Wilson, co^inced a great nnmber of citizens that the League as at present formulated was aot a good thing. He had told them that the United States, because of It, would be drawn Into every petty , k European quarrel; he argued that we would lose our sovereignty by joining with the European nations. He had ] blamed the president for assenting to I the possession tv - japan 01 me renmsnla of Shan Tuns In China. / N BUREAU CHANGES NAME The Mount. Clemens News Bureau, which has been furnishing reports on President Wilson's tour in behalf of the LAgue of Nations to 5,500 papers, has adopted a new name and wil! hereafter be known as The Independent News Bureau. But Mr. Wilson, with clear logic and with compelling eloquence, answered to the entire satisfaction of California's people every objection which Senator Johnso 1 had made to the League. And thousands of the state'3 citizens deserted the Johnson standard Immediately and rallied to the support of the president More than that 1 they came forward and said, "We were against you, Mr. President, but you have cleared everything up and now we are with you heart and soul." Still more than that, they let Senator I Johnson know that they were no longer with hiia and that they disap-ia proved of the (peaking tour which he | himself was making in opposition to t the League and so powerful was the * volume of publlo opinion which reachW ed him, that the senator almost imt mediately abandoned his tour. The Shan Tang question, because of the / anti-Japanese fueling which undoubtedly exists along the F; flc coast was i - the most serious which the president I ' had to answer. He explained to the people that he had been powerless to prevent the rich peninsula from being given to Japan. England and France, through a secret treaty, had promised it to Japan for entering the war and remaining in it. That treaty had to he carried out. Anyway it was not China that was losing Shan Tung, but M Germany, which had seized the terri- I tozy from China in 1898 and held It I ever since. Japan had promised, the gj president explained, to return Shan I Ttmg as soon as the peace treaty waa I ratified and It waa only through the I ratification of the treaty with the a League of Nations Inclusion, that I China oould ever expect to get hei I . former property back. And she surely I k. wtmld ret It back, he declared, through | the ratification cMhe League. There-I9 (ore, through the same instrumentality I do other nation could again prey upon I the "Great, patient, diligent, but help P loos kingdom." As to our being drawn fioto any European conflict The pres _ Ident pointed out that no direct actios ^ such as the wending of troops to any s part of the world to maintain or re- ? tore order could be taken by th? Council of the League without a unanl jg mous vote of the council members _ therefore our rote could at once nega B ttre any such proposition as sending our soldiers where we did not want them sent Besides, Mr. Wilson argued, || "If you hare to quench a fire In Call i fornia you don't send for the lire de B pertinent of Utah." But, he argued there probably never will be anothei 3 war, if the League is established, foz | the members promise either to arbi = trate their difference and accept th? J decision of the arbitrator, lay the dlf ferences for discussion and publica || . tion before tie Council of the Leagu? i for a period of six taonths. and then, { x All'a n/li*!/?Q If possible, accept me wuuui a a That failing, they agree to refrain from I war for a further period of three I months and nine months of "cooling ^ efT," the president contended, would prewentany armed conflict These cleat ocplanations satisfied every rea 'da hearer and destroyed the "Bul,.. which Senator Johnsjn and others had !?lsed against the League. Through rugged Nevada into Utah, the land of Mormons, the president swept to find that thr?e fine people "'ere heartily with him for the League Mid a per maaen^v of peaca.
