The text of President Wilson's ad dress fonifiht Is In part ;ts follows "I am not going to speak tonight particularly of the covenant of the league of nations, but I am going to i point out to you what the trcat as a whole Is Treaty Is Just. "In the first place, of course, that treaty imposes upon Germany the proper penalty for the crime she at tempted to commit. It is a just treat; In spite of its severity, it is a treaty made by men who had no intent inn 01 crushing the German people, but who did mean to have it burn into the on BCiOUShesS Of the German people and through their consciousness into th apprehension of the world, that no people could afford to live under a government which was not controlled by their purpose and will, but which was at libert to impose secret ambi tions upon civilization It was In- ! tended as notice to all mankind that any government that attempted what Germany attempted would meet with; the. same concerted opposition of man- 1 kind and would have meted out to I ; the same just retribution, f "Notice Is civon in the very f:ri articles of the treaty that hereaftei it f will be a matter of certainty that na . tlons contemplating wh?t the govern i ment of Germany contemplated will show that mankind in serried rank r will defend to the last the rights --t ; human beinps wherever they are.
