"Wilson said, were based on an as sumption that every one was poinsr to brfeak the covenant, and that batl faith was to be the tiniversal rule. He de scribed the arbitration and boycott pro visions of the covenant, and said if any nation went to war after these meam; 'had been exhausted, it meant that that nation was determined to run amuck anyway. The President declared there was no party politics in the treaty, and as serted th?t both the Republican and the Democratic national platforms in 1916 advocated such an arrangement a<s the league, of nations. So at Paris, he said, he had been obeying both parties. He said he was glad to got away from Washington, where he heard politics "unm sometinves ! wish both parties werP' smothered in their owti gas." *-' " The American people, slid Mr Wil son, are. to "see it through to '.he end. and the end has not come yet." If the Uuited States keeps out of the league, he declared, another war like th- las^t "will come soon," but if it went in, "It will never come." It was a square-cut issue, he sai.1, whether the I'niteJ States "will redeem its pledges." For the first time sine.-- his spenking trip began.

ST. 1/Ol'lS. MO.. Sept. 5.?? President Wilson was Riven the preutest ovation of his trip here tonight. when he stepped to the platform of the (oil scum, where hf* was nominator! for the Presidency in 1M6. amid the cheers of 12.000 people. President Wilson, in his address to night. said: "My fellow-countrymen: we have me\ upon an occasion which is much too solemn to care how we look. We ought to care how we think. and I have come here t.onipht to ask per mission to discuss with you some of the very curious aberrations of think ing thai have taken place in thiscoun trv of 'ate. "I have souclit I think I have sought without prejudice?to under si:itul the point of view of the men who have been opposing- the treaty and the covenant of the league of na tions. Many of them are men whose judgment of a patriotic feeling 1 have been accustomed to admire and re spect. And yet I must admit to you. my fellow-countrymen, that it is very hard for me to believe that they have followed their line of thinking to its logical and necessary conclusion, be ta use when you retlect upon their po sition it is "either that we ought to reject this treaty altogether or that we ought to chang/: it in such a way as will make it necessary to reopen negotiations with Germany and recon sider the settlement of the peace, in many essential particulars. Other Nntious Oppose 'luetic*. "We cannot do the latter alone, and other nations will not join us in doing it The only alternative is to reject the peace, aiid to do what some of our fellow-countrymen have been advising us to do: Stand alone in :ho world. *#1 suppose that most of you realise that it is going to be very difficult for the other nations that were engaged in this war to get financially on 'their feet again. 1 dare say you read the other day the statement of Mr. Herbert Hoover's opinion, an opinion which I always respect, that it will be neces <=arv for the United States immediately 'to advance $4,000,000,000 to J5.000.000. 000 for the rehabilitation of credit and industry on the other side of the water, and I must say to you that 1 learned nothing in Paris which would leave me to doubt that conclusion. And 1 think the statement of the sum is a reasonable one and conservative statement. ?If tiu world is going bankrupt, if cred.t is going to be destroyed, if the industry of the races of the world is going to" be interrupted, our market is confined to the United States, trade will be impossible except within our owi: borders If we arc to save our own markets and .rehabilitate our own in dustries. we must save the financial situation of the world and rchabiliatate the markets of the world. Need for Itcparutlon Commission. "Germany cannot pay for this war unless her industries are revived and the treaty of peace sets up a great commission known as the reparation commission, in wiiich it was intended that there should be t member from the United States as well as from other countries and the business of this com mission will be in nr.r; to see that the industries of Germany are. revived in order that Germany may pay this great debt which she owes to civili sation. That reparation commission can determine the currents of trade, the conditions of credit, of international t ndlt. it can determine how much that Germany is going to buy, where it is going to buy, and how it is going to 1 pay for it, and if we must, to save 1 ourselves, contribute to the financial rehabilitation of the world, then with ' out being members of this partner ship we must put our money in the hands of those who want to get the markets that belong to us. ?That is what these gentlemen call playing a lone hand. It is. indeed, plaving a lone hand, it is playing a hand that is frozen out. We must contribute the money which other nations are to use in order to re 1 habilitate their industry and credit, i and we must make them our antagon ! ists and rivals and not'our partners. 1 put that proposition to any business man, young or old. in the United States and ask him how he likes it. and whether he considers that a useful wav for the United States is to stand alone. We have got to carry this bur don of reconstruction, whether wo will or not, or bo ruined, and the quest ion is shall we carry it and bo ruined anyhow, for that is what these gen tlemen propose, that at every point we shall he embarrassed by the whole financial affairs of the world being in the hands .->f other nations. Don't I'ndorstnnd Intercut*. "The men who propose these thing's do not understand the .interests in the United States. Because liere is the rest of the picture, hot rivals, burn in? suspicions, jealousies: arrangements made everywhere, if possible, lo shut us out. because if we won't come in at equals, we ought to be shut out. "As it stands now every natioti trusts us. They look to us. They lonp that we shall undertake anything for their assistance rather than that any other nation should undertake it. And if ue say we are in this world to live by ourselves, and we get what we can pet out of tt by any selfish process, then the reaction will change the whole heart and attitude of the world towards this preat free justice-loving people, and, after you have changed the attitude of the world, what ha\e you produced ' Peace'.'

"Can any sane man hesitate as to the choice, and can any sane man ask the question, which is the way of peace? "1 have heard some men say with an amazing ignorance that the covenant of the league of nations was an ar rangement for war. Very well. The other arrangement, what 'would it be? An arrangement for peace, for kindli ness, for co-operation? Would every body beckon us to their markets? No Doubtful l'lirnne.
