IT IS PRACTICAL STATESMAN'S
HOPE OF SUCCESS
Rousing Reception Given
President As He Entered
‘Senate Hall.
Washington, July 10.—President
Wilson in presenting the peace treaty
with German to the Senate today de
clared: “The League of Nations had
become a practical necessity to which
the framers o fthe treaty felt obliged
to turn as as an indispensable in
strumentality for the maintenance of
the new order which it has been their
purpose to set up in the world.
“The most skeptical” of peace con
ferees at Paris, he said, turned more
and more to the League as the discus
sion progressed in seeking a solution
of the problems that arose in fram
in. the terms of ‘he treaty itself.
“Tae fact that the covenant of the
League was the first substantive part
of the treaty worked to make the for
mulation of the rest easier.
President Wilson said an agree
ment on the covenant. had given the
conferees the feeling that their work
was to be permanent, and the most
practical among them “waere at last
mfl-“h"éad,v to refer to the Leaguc of
o' #hs the superintendzcc> of all
interests which did not admit of im
mediate solution, and all administra
tive problems which woull require
contlirtiing overnight.”
“What has seemed a ccuncil of per
fection” said the President, has come
to seem a plain counsel of necessity.”
The League of Nations was the prac
tical stateman’s hope of success in
many of the most difficult things he
was attemping.”
When the President entered the
Chamber, he was escorted by a com
mittee of Senators. The crowded gal
leries arcse and cheered for a min
ute in disregard of the Senate rules.
The President mounting to the Vice-
Pregident’s seat, spoke briefly with
Mri Marshall as the cheering contin

THE CORDELE DISPATCH
ENGLAND WILL NOT
EMPLOY ALIENS
London, culy 10.—Notwith
standing strong opposition by
the government, the House of
Commons committee today
adopted a clause in the alien
bill restricting the employment
of aliens in Great Britain.
out an attempt to explain it. The ad
dress required forty minutes to de
ver and was devoted almost wholly
to the League of Nations.
American isolation ended at the
close of the war with Spain, the Presi
dent said, and the fear of American
motives were now also ended.
“Thre can be no question of our
ceasing to be a world power,” Presi
dent Wilson said. ‘“The only question
is whether we can refuse the moral
leadership offered us and whether we
will accept or reject the confidence
of the world.”
It has not been easy “to gray the
new order of ideas on the old,” the
President said, “and some of the
fruits of grafting may for a time be
bitter.”
After concluding his speech, Presi
dent - Wilson formally presented the
treatv to the Senate. The official
copy was immediately referred to the
Foreign Relations Committee, and
rushed cut to the printers.
Frenzh Treaty Later
Washington July 10.—President
Wilson planned to submit to the Sen
ate today on the treaty containing the
covenant 5f the League of Nations.
The proposed supplementary treaty
with France will he presented later
an dthe President is preparing a sep
arate address to the Senate explain
ing this agreentent.
Americsans Remairn on Rhine
Washington, July 10.—The Germans
have from one to four months in
which to deliver all material except
that sufficient for the reduced Ger
man army provided for in the treaty
and President Wilson believes the
American troops should stay on the
Rhine until the material is deliver
ed.
Discussing the peace negotiations
in Paris, President Wilson let it be
known that the League of .Nations
covenant will be in every treaty ne
gotiated at Versailles, including that
with Bulgaria, with which country
the United States never was at war.
Regarding Fiume, he pointed out
that the treaty of ondon provided that
Fiume should go to Croatia, and that
Italy did not lay claim to the city
when that treaty was signed.
The President made clear that the
demobilization of the American army
qdepended upon the speed with which
Germany complied with the military
conditions of the treaty and the troaty
was ratified by the various govern
ments.
The President aiso feels that the
United States must play a generons
part in the reconstruction of Europe,
but believes it should be accomplish
ed by establishing somesound basis
of credit, rather than by direct gov
ernment aid.
Two-Thirds Necessary
Washington, July 10.—President
Wilson is understood to take the posi
tion that two-thirds majority will be
required to adopt any Senate reserva
tions in ratifying the peace treaty.
The impression of the opposition lead
ers in the Senate has been that only
a simply majority would be required.
