When he said : "We, by withholding from the league of nations, promote the purpose of Germany. Shall we, by vote of the United States senate, do for Germany what she could not do for herself by force of arms?" shouts of "no" arose again from the hall, noes echoed and in a thunder of voices.

He told of the information coming to liim through governmental sources from this country and abroad that led him to his conclusions concerning opposition to the covenant. He referred to the covenant as the first grea arrangement among nations not based on a division of spoils, and said that the treaty as It now stands with the covenant is a renunciation of spoils, the greatest human arrangemeut ever attempted, and that it forbids exploitation. Pact Is Hope of China. The Shantung arrangement and the future of China he went into nt some length, saying that China's hope is in the league of nations.

Premier Clemenceau delivered his long expected speech in the debate on the ratification of the peace treaty in the chamber of deputies September 2.". The whole trend of his argument in favor of the treaty was that the treaty was one of solidarity between allies, who united in war, must be united in peace. It is learned that President Wilson's reply to the Inquiry of the peace conference regarding his attitude on the Flume situation is a categorical refusal to accept the Italian viewpoint. The nation-wid- e strike of British railway men, which was to have begun at midnight Friday, has been abandoned temporarily by the intervention of Premier Lloyd George, who lias called a conference to consider the demands of the men.

Mrs. Wilson, too, was called to her feet in response to the reception given her. The president launched straightway to his subject. He dwelt for a time on the principal objections raised to the league of nations and said that these have been swept away, and that its oppo nents are now seeking to stab the league at its very heart. Reservations to the league, he said, are, to all intents and purposes, equivalent to amendments. Any reservation, he declared, would mean reopening of negotiations with Germany, and when he added that no-- part of the world wants that, the audience broke into a demonstration of applause with shouts of no, no, no, from all parts of the hall. "The triumphant establishment of the principle of democracy throughout the world awaits the ratification of the league," President Wilson said, and went ,on : "This means the establishment not only of political democracy but of industrial democracy." The president dwelt upon the present industrial unrest and said that even in the United States there is abroad today an antagonism to the ordered of government processes everywhere. While this unrest is assuming a menacing force, he said, the whole world is waiting for the United States to ratify the treaty. "The government of the United States is the only government in the world which the rest of the world trusts," declared the president. The president's sincerity, the care able to bring about reconsideration of similar concessions now held by Great Britain, France and other nations, He declared that, without the league of nations in 1918. the United Stat.oi under the International law of tliat time, and the some holds true today without the league, was powerless even to object to the cession of Shan lung by China to Germany. He spoke, too, of the Portsmouth treaty conclud ing war between Russia and Japan, a treaty made In this country, in which the United States was again unable to object to the cession of Port Arthur, taken from the Chinese by the Russians, to Japan, because of the limita tions of international law. The president asked his hearers to make felt their moral judgment that the thing for America to do is to re deem the pledge made when she entered the war, by compelling the' ratification of the treaty. In reference to article X, greatly opposed by opponents to the league, the president said : "Article X is an engagement on the part of the great fighting nations of the world, that they will preserve against external aggression the territorial integrity of existing political independencies of league members. That is cutting the heart out of all war. Every war of any consequence that you may cite originated in an attempt to seize the territory of some nation." He answered the opposition of the Irish nationalists to this covenant by stating that the league does not guarantee governments from overthrow by their own people, that the United Stntes, itself conceived by such action, with which lie weighed his words, and would never interfere in a similar the ease of his address made his mes- case. There is no force In the covenant, sage simple and at the same time impressive. When he came he said, to compel the United States to a consideration of the motives of to do anything, except moral force. He the league opponents he seemed to then asked : "Is anybody in the United make doubly sure of the phrasing of States afraid of moral force, afraid his words. of the duress of duty?" and the an: swer came back with the unmistakThus, when he said "The only serious forces back of the able no of an audience understanding opposition to the league of nations and convinced. point-blank- UTAH BUDGET You do not buy silverware every day, which is a very good reason y you should consider carefully that which you seldom decide.
