(By Mt. Clemens Nows Bureau)
Aboard President Wilson’s Special
train—Carrying his war against those ,
who oppose the adoption by the Uni
ted States of the peace treaty,and the
covenant of the League of Nations inr
to their households, President WiiBon
last week invaded California.
And there, where the question on.
which league opponents have ham
mered the hardest, that of Shan Tung—*
is of moat interest, the prescient found
:he same enthusiasm among the peo
ple for peace and for insurance
against future wars. Tho people want
the long controversy ended. They
want this country to be able to again
turn Its undivided attention to social,
economic and industrial development.
Their loaders may not feel this way,
but judging from tho expressions
which met the president on every side,
Tho leaders have overstepped tho
limits of the peoples patience in their
stubborn determination to force a
change in the great document.
Must Take This League.
"Wo must take this League of Na
tions,” said the president, ‘‘for there
is no way in which another can be
obtained without compelling recon
sideration by tlio powers. And it
would sit very iil upon my stomach to
take it back to Germany for considera
tion.”
“All over the world people are look
ing to us with confidence our rivals
along with the weaker nations, I pray
God that the gentlemen who are de
laying tills thing may presently see it
in a different light'’
Germany, the president declared, is
taking now courage from our delay in
ratifying the treaty and her news
papers and public men were again be
coming arrogantly out-spoken.
Deeply impressive were tho figures
of the cost of tho late war, in lives
and dollars. It was the first time that
the official statistics have been made
public and tho tremendous totals
shocked tho president’s audiences.
Chows Cost of World War.
“The war,” said President Wilson,
cost Great Britain and and her Do
mains $38,000,000,000; France $20,000,.
00*0,000; the United States $22,000,-.
0C0.000; Russia .?J8,000,000,000; Italy,
$13,000,000,000 and 'a total, including:
tho expenditures of Japan, Belgium
and other small countries, of $123,000,-
