T'UST MAINTAIN NEW ORDER All Conferees the President Says, Were Agreed That League of Free Nations Waa an Absolut Necessity for Worid's Peace. Wahington, July s . larrealdent Wilson in presenting the peace treaty and the League of Nations to the senate today In an epochal session explained to the senators and to the American people his reasons for asking ratification without change or rev ervatlon. He spoke as follows "TJenTTenien of the Senate The treaty of peace with Germany was signed at Versailles on the 28th of June. I avail myself of the earliest opportunity to lay the treaty before you for ratification and to Inform you wlth Tegard to the work of the conference by which that treaty was formu- lated. The treaty constitutes nothing Jess than a world settlement. It would not possible for me even of to construe Its manifold provisions In an address which" must of necessity bd something less than a treatise. My services and all the information I possess, will be at your disposal and at the disposal of your committee on foreign relations at any time, either informally or In session, as you may prefer; and I hope that you will not hesitate to make use of them. I shall at this time, prior to your wn study of the document attempt only a general characterization of Its 'scope and purpose. I Cognizant of Paris Moves.' v toe In one sense, no doubt, thereIs no need that I should report to you what was attempted and done at Paris. Ton have been dally cognisant of what wa going on there of the problems with which the peace conference had to deal and of the difficulty of laying down straight lines of settlement anywhere on a Held on which the old lines of International relationship, and the new alike, followed so Intricate a pattern and were for the most part cut so deep by;7 historical .circumstance? - which dominated action where It would nave been best to Ignore or reverse them. ' The cross currents of politics and of futerwt must" have been evident" to you. It would be presuming In me to attempt to explain the questions which aroH or the many diverse elements that entered Into them. I shall attempt something less ambitious 'than that and more clearly suggested by" toy duty to report to the congress the part It seemed necessary for my colleagues end me to play as the representative of the government of the United States. That part was dictated by the role America has played In the war and by the expectation that hud been created In the mind of the peoples with whom we had ourselves in that Ureal xtnigsle. Reason for Entering War. The United States entered the war upon a different footing from every other nation except our associates on this side the sea. We entered It, not Itecause our material Interests were directly threatened or because any special treaty obligations to which "we were parties had been violated, but only because we saw the supremacy. and even the validity, of right everywhere put In Jeopardy and free go' ernment likely to be everywhere Im periled by the Intolerable aggression of a power which respected neither right nor' obligation 'anfl whose very system of government- - flouted the rights of the citizens as against the autocratic authority of his governors. , And la the settlements of the peace we have sought ik special reparation for ourselves, but only the restoration assurance of liberty . .of right and the everywhere that the effects of thejsetn were dw ten. io rmerai tiemeni the war as the disinterested champlona of right and we Interested ourselves In the terms of the peace In no other capacity. Allies' Hope at tow Ebb. The hopes of tha nations allied against the central' powers were at. a very low ebb when our soldiers began to pour across tha sea.
