"And back of that ties this funda?
mental!; important fact that when
the decisions are made (he Allied
and associated powers guarantee to
maintain, them. It is perfectly evi?
dent, upon a moment's reflection, that
the chief burden of their mainten?
ance will fall upon the greater
powers. The chief burden oT the war
fell upon the greater powers, and if
it had not been for their action,
their military action, wo would not
be here to settle these questions.
And, therefore, we must not close
our eyes to tho fact that in the last
analysis the military and naval
strer.Kth of the great powers will be
the final guaranty of the peace of
the world.
Position of Powers Defended
"In those circumstances is it un?
reasonable and unjust that not as
dictators but as friends the great
powers should say to their associ?
ates: 'We cannot afford to guarantee
territorial settlements which we do
not believe to be right, and we can?
not agree to leave elements of dis?
turbance unremoved which we be?
lieve will disturb the peace of the
world'7
"Take tho rights of minorities.
Nothing, I venture to ?ay. is more
likely to disturb the peace of the
world than the treatment which
might in certain circumstances be
meted out to minorities. And there
fore if the great powers are to
guarantee the pence of the world in
any sense, is it unjust that they
should be satisfied that the proper
and necessary guaranties have been
given?
"I beg your friends from Rumania
and from Serbia to remember that
while Rumania and Serbia are an?
cient sovereignties, the settlements
of this conference are greatly adding
to their territories. You cannot in
one part of our transactions treat
Serbia alone and in all cf the other
parts '.rea* the kingdom of the Serbs,
the Croats and the Slovenes as a
different entity, for they Hie seeking
the recognition of this conference
as a single entity, and if this con
ference is going to recognize these
various powers as new sovereignties
within definite territories the chief
guarantors are entitled to be satis?
fied that the territorial settlements
are of a character to be permanent,
and that the guaranties given are of
a character to insure the peace of
the world.
"It is not, therefore, the interven?
tions of those who v. u'ul interfere,
but the acti n of those wh ? w luid
help. I beg that our friends will
that view of it, because I see
no escape from that view of it.
Army and Navy Pledged

of his suggestions with the utmost
respect suggested that wo could

?if minorities. But 1 beg him to ob?
serve that he is overlooking the

of the Allied and Associated Powers
foi great addition! of territory
v h'ch come to Rumania by the corn
men victory e.f arms, and that,
therefore, we are on'i'lrri to say:
'If we agree to these additions of
territory we have the right to in
Bisl up n ei itain guaranties of peace.'
"I beg my friend Mr. Kramer,
and my friend Mr. Trumbic, and
my friend Mr. Bratiano to believe
that If we should feel that it is
best to leave the words which they
have wished to omit ir. the treaty
.t is not because we want to in?
sist upon unreasonable conditions,
but t" at we want the treaty to ac?
cord to us the right of judgment
as to whether these arc things which
we can afford to guarantee.
Definite Understanding Essential
"Therefore, the impressions which
we t-hould disperse ought to be
these, that we are all friends?
of course, that goes without saying
?but that we must all be asso?
ciates in a common effort, and
there can be no frank and earnest
association in the common effort
unless there is a common agree?
ment as to what the rights and
settlements are.
"Now if the agreement is a
separate agreement among groups
of us, that does not ..?eet the ob?
ject. If you should adopt the lan?
guage _ suggested by the Czecho
Slovakian delegates and the Serbian
delegation- the "ugo-Slovak dele?
gation?that it Lhould be left to
negotiations between the principal
Allied anel A-so iated Powers and
their several delegates, that would
mean that after this whole conference
is adjourned groups of them would
determine what is to be the basis of
the peace of the world. It seems to mo
that that would be u dangerous
idea to entertain, and therefore I
>iep that we may part with a sense
not of interference with each other,
but of hearty and friendly co?
operation upon th- only pe'issible
basis of guaranty. Where the
great force lit s, there must be the
sanction of peace.
"I sometimes wish, in hearing an
argument like this, ?hat 1 were the
representative of a small power, so
that what I .said might be robbed of
any mistaken significance, but 1
think you will j.gree with me that
the United States hap never ?shown
any t moor of aggression anywhere,
an I it lies in the heart of the peo?
ple of the U.iited States, as I am
sure it lies in the hearts of the pec

Carlson Version Volunteered
The Carlson version of President
Wilson's statement was forwarded to
? White House by the Chicagoan in
Wilson Parallels His Own Version
Of Speech With That of Spencer
From Th? Tribune'* Washington Burean
WASHINGTON, Oct. il.?In presenting the Carlson report as the
"official version" of what PresidcjU Wilson told the Rumanian and
Serbian Premi?is, the White House to-day compared in parallel column*
the utterances attributed to Wilson by Senator Spencer with the Chi
cagoan's report. While each version is given complete, the following
are the paragraphs of the speech in dispute:
Version Quoted by Senators Version Reported by ^ Carlson
Spencer ?and Reed:
"How could the government
of the United States go before
the Congress nnd people of the
United States and pretend that
it had assisted in insuring the
peace o? the world if it believed
that the settlement agreed upon
here contained unstable or dan?
gerous elements?
"If the world should be trou?
bled again, if the conditions
which we all regard as funda?
mental are challenged, the guar?
anties which will be given you
will pledge that the United
States wih send its army and
fleet across the ocean. Is it sur?
prising, under such conditions,
that it should desire to reach a
solution of the various problems
which seems to its unsatisfac?
tory?"
and Advanced by the White
House as Official:
"How can a power like the
United States, for example?for
I can speak for no other?after
signing this treaty, if it contains
elementa which they do not be?
lieve will be permanent, eo
3,000 miles away across the sea
and report to its people that it
has made a settlement of tho
peace of the world? It cannot
do so. And yet there underlies
all these transactions THE EX
all these transactions the expec?
tation on the part, for example,
of Rumania and of Czecho-Slo
vakia and of Serbia that if any
covenants of this settlement are
not observed, the United States
will send her armies and navies
to see that they are observed."
e let'er to Charles L. Swem, the Presi- |
dent's stenographer. "1 wish," ?agir!- i
son's letter sind, "I were ip a posreion
to make public what the President ]
said, for I feel that the President, is |
sadly misquoted; but, of course, as
the meeting was a secret one, I can
say nothing, if it is thought that this
letter is an indiscreet one destroy it, j
but if necessary 1 will be glad to sweat
7?, ill-., accuracy of the transcript and
? hope a complete refutation of the
clr.vjo v/ill he made."
).' ?'. rring to tie version quoted by
Senators Reed and Spencer, Carlson's
letter to Swem said: "It is just barely
possible that the quotation by Senators
Reed and Spencer was from a transla?
tion into English of M. MantouT?'3
' -ion into French of the Presi
?1? :, 's remarks, and, as you know, the
translation sometimes mixes things up
a 1 t."
This reference Jn Carlson's letter
was advanced by State Department
r'eir ? to-day as the real cause of
the dispute between the Missouri Sen-'
I irs and the President. "The Presi?
dent's address to the Rumanians and
ns " nc ? fficial said, "was a bad
French translation, which was in turn
badly translated into English."
Wilson's Denial Absurda
Declares Senator Reed
Special 771 f. patch to The Tribune
KANSAS CITY, Oct. 11.?President
Wilson has confessed that he did
promise to Eend the American army
and navy across the ocean to protect
tho boundaries of Rumania and Serbia,
according to Senator James A. Reed,
irreconcilable Democratic foe of the
League cf Nations.
In a statement issued here to-day
Senator Reed attacked the White
House version of the speech President
Wilson made to the Rumanian and
Serbian delegates to the. peace confer?
ence, and characterized as "absurd"
the President's attempt to deny that
the League eif Nations does not, pledge
America to protect the boundaries of
foreign nations, and presented a mass
of evidence tei prove that the President
himself has admitted again and again
what he now seeks to deny.
Senator Reed quoted irom the Presi?
dent's speeches and his interview with
the Foreign Relations Committee of
the Senate, former President Taft
Premier Lloyd George of Great Britain
Sir Eric Geddes and Winston Churchil
to bear him out in his contention thai
President Wilson had made it plaii
Ann rica would contribute its share oi
an international military force to pro
tect the boundaries of all members c:
the League of Nations.
Referring to the controversy whicl
arose a week ago between Senator S}.e?n
eer and President. Wilson over a speed
Senator Spencer had'delivered in lui
campaign in Missouri, in which th<
junior Senator charged the Presiden
had made the pledge. Senator Reet
said:
"I have no interest in the pol?tica
fortunes of Senator Spencer. The on!;
reason I have said anything in th?
controversy is that Senator Spencer ii
his speeches quoted one of my speech?'
as authority for his statement that th
President had made certain declara
tiona to the Rumanian and Serbia
delegations.
"A direct denial of tlfe truth of Sen
ator Spencer's statement was, there
fore, an impeachment of my veracitj
Under the circumstances I could no
remain silent. I will no more permi
the President of the United States t
accuse me of falsification without r<
ply than I would in the case of an
other man.
"Not a single denial was ever made
the statement continues. "The. publ
is entitled to see the official report ;
it was transcribed to be iile>el with t?
peace conf?rence, and 1 shall await ii
production with interest,
"But, for the life of me, I cannot se
how the stenographic report helps t!
President's case. It is. in fact, a eon
p?ete veri ?'?cation of the body of tl
charge heretofore made. It is' true t!
language is very different from th.
quoted by (Frank H.) Simonds, and v?
it contains exactly the same idea.
"Was the President standing at
looking into the eyes of the Serbii
and Kumanian delegates and tellii
them they expected us to send oi
armies arid navies if any covenant
the settlement was not observed, ai
at the same time not meaning to imp
that the United States was not assui
ing that obligation?
"How absurd it is to protest th
we have not promised to send o
armies and navies across the ocean."

Vindicates Him
(Continuad from pugs ont)
again, if the conditions we ail regard
as fundamental are challenged, the
guaranties which will bo given to you
will pledge that the United States will
send its army and fleet across the
ocean.'
"There is no substantial difference
between any of these, It is mere [uib
bung to attempt to pick out. slight
verbal differences. The ?.treat out?
standing fact is that the President led
tne Rumanians and S rbs t? believe so
clearly as language can do i< that an
American army and navy was available
to them in case there was any fresh
trouble.
"For it will bo noticed that in the
last statement which the President
now produces he is distinctly add]
the Rumanians and Serb;?, for in his
statement he says: 'i Tjeg our friends
from Rumania and Serbia to remem?
ber.' .
Asks Why Record Is Withheld
"Why will not the President produce
the official rec?jrd ? If it is true that
neither the President, nor the State
Department, nor any ore. in authority
has an exact copy of the official sten?
ographic reports of the day, why not
cable to Paris and secure the copy,
which certainly the United States is
entitled to have ?
"Mr. Gibbbns in his article in the
May, 1920, number of The Century
Magazine, says:
"'According to the ;tenographic
notes of the eighth plenary session of
the peace conference, which I have in
my possession, President Wilson Baid
to Premier Bratiano,' and then gives
his nuotation.
"The statement of the President to
the Serbs and Rumania! . wl ich now
seems to be una nswerably cstabiihed is,
as Senator Rec ??' clearly point ; out, quit?
immaterial as compared with tne defi?
nite obligation to the sa ne effect which
is in express language ici out in Arti?
cle X of the treaty and which makes
the obligation sought to be impos d
upon tho United States so unfa:!- and
obnoxious to the people of this coun?

ject for discussion in the state cam?
paign?
3?Is not the need of doing away with
on autocracy built up by the Wilson
administration during the war and re?
storing a democratic form of govern?
ment in this country of interest to
citizens of this state?
Says Smith Can't Dodge
Judge Miller said that his opponenl
could not dodge around these ques?
tions, nor could he befog some of the
real issues of the campaign by attempt?
ing to make an issue on the matter o?
reorganising the state government.
"He cannot make an issue of the re?
organization of the slate government,'
said Judge Miller. "The reason i
simple. Every one is in favor of that
Moreover, this is a subject which was
despite Governor Smith's efforts t(
make it appear to be his discovery, th<
creation of the men of the Rep?blica
paa-ty. It was adopted by the Constitu
tional Convention of 1915, which wai
'overwhelmingly -Republican. The las
Republican Legislature adopted tin
plan in substance.
"Governor Smith knows the facts
but he is putting forth this as an alib
for non-performance. Other Cover
nors have effected economy in thei
administrations with the same tool;
that Governor Smith has at his dis
posai. It will take ut least two yeai
to put the reorganization plan int?
effect. Meantime the cost of govern
nient, unless there is retrenchment
will go on mounting, thus adding to th
burdens of the taxpayers.
"The real causai of the mountinj
ccst of state government is this: Th
people have gotten it into their head
m the last few years that it is pos
siblo to collect taxes out of a few, an?
they have withdrawn their attentio;
from the way the state government wa
being conducted.
"The result is that every state de
partment which wants to extend it
activities?and every department like
to magnify itself?has been branchin;
out into new fields. Every group o
citizens who had some fad or fane;
to exploit did so at the public expens
and- out of the public funds, becaus
there has been nobody to count th
cost.
"The practice has grown up in th i
state of the Legislature committin;
the state to all sorts of plans and ac
tivities, and then after the state ha
been committed to these new activi
ties they begin to look around to fin
the money.
Get the Money First
"Now, the way to prevent that sot
of thing ?3 not simply by reorganij
ing the state government because yo
can reorganize the state government t
your heart's content and the sum
ihing will go right along?but befor
spending your money, find it; befoi
launching out on to new and untrie
tilings look to see whether you ha\
got the money or not. In other word
conduct the affairs of the state jui
ss you would your ? n household a:
fairs."
Judge Miller said that another alii
offered by Governor Smith was that I
could not obtain cooperation from tt
Republican Legislature.
"Then the thing to do is to elect
Republican Governor," added Jud?
Miller with a smile that not on
i;tused his audiences to laugh hear
ily but. to applaud vigorously.
In all of bis speeches Judge Mill?
said that lie was perfectly willing ai
would continue to discuss state issu?
with Governor Smith, and that he cou
readily understand the Governor's di
inclination to discuss national que
tions.
"But I shall not neglect," he d
dared "to talk about the vital pnr
