CALIFORNIA THROWS OVER IT8
LEADER, JOHNSON, AND
RALLIES TO LEAGUE.
WEST GIVESJIIM OVATION
All Doubtful Features of Pact Are
Explained Away By President, and
Former Doubters Hasten to Give
Him Their Support.

Aboard President Wilson’s Special
f ntln—A continuous ovation along the
Paclflo coast and then on his eastward
way back toward the capital was given
to President Wilson as he came
toward the end of his month daylong
speaking tour in behalf of the League
-of Nations. California, particularly
the delightful city of Los Angeles, went
wild In its enthusiasm for him and his
advocacy of the League, and it was
in that state, perhaps, that he did his
most successful missionary work.
Hiram Johnson, California's former
governor, now her United States sena
tor, and considered by her as the most
likely Republican candidate for the
presidency in 1920, had before the ur-
they cams forward and said, "We i
were against you. Mr. President, but
you have cleared everything up and 1
now we are with you heart and soul."
Still more than that, they let Senator
Johnson know that they were no
longer with him and that they disap*
proved of the speaking tour which ho
himself was making in opposition to
the League and ao powerful was the
void' - -( public opinion which reach-
a d 1 rt the senator almost lm-
medlat iy abandoned his tour. The
Shan Tung question, because of the
inti-Japanese feeling which undoubted
ly exists along the Pacific coast was
the most serious which the president
had to answer. Ha explained to the
people that ha had been powerless to
prevent the rich peninsula from being
given to Japan. England and Prance,
through a secret treaty, had promised
it to Japan for entering the war aad
remaining in it. That treaty had to
be carried out. Anyway it was not
China that was losing Shan Tung, but
Germany, whi had seized the terri
tory from China in 1898 and held It
ever since. Japan had promised, the
president explained, to return Shan
Tung as soon as the peace treaty was
ratified and it was only through the
ratification of the treaty with tho
League of Nations inclusion, that
China could ever expect to get her
former property back. And she surely
would get it buck, he declared, through
the ratification of the League. There-’
fore, through tho same instrumentality
no other nation could again prey upon
the "Great, patient, diligent, but help-
rugged Neradw.into tJtah, the land at
Mormons, the president swept to and
that those fine people wore heartily
with him for the League and a per
manency of peace.'

a great number of citizens that the
League as at present formulated was
pot a good tiling. He had told them
that the United States, because of it,
would be drawn into every petty
European quarrel; he argued that we
wouli^lose our sovereignty by joining
with the European nations. He had
blamed the president for assenting to
the possession by Japan of the Penin
sula of Shan Tung in China.

But Mr. Wiison, with clear logic and
with compelling eloquence, answered
to the entire satisfaction of Califor
nia’s people every objection which
Senator Johnson had made to the
League. And thousands of the state’s
citizens deserted the Johnson stand
ard immediately and rallied to the sup

ldent pointed out that no direct action
such as the sending of troops to any
part of the world to maintain or re
store order could be taken by the
Council of the League without a unani
mous vote of the council members,
therefore our vote could at once nega
tive any such proposition us sending
our soldiers where we did not want
them sent. Besides, Mr. Wilson argued,
"If you have to quench a fire in Cali
fornia you don’t send for the fire de
partment of Utah." But, he argued,
there probably never will be another
war, if tho League is established, tor
j the members promise eithor'to arbi-
' trate their difference and accept the
1 decision of the arbitrator, lay the de
ferences for discussion and publica
tion before the Council of tho League
I for a period of six months, and then,
if possible, accept the council's advice.
That failing, they agree to refrain from
war for a further period of throe
months and aine months of “cooling
off,” the president contended, would
prevent any armed conflict. These clear
explanations satisfied every reasonable
'hearer and destroyed the "Bugaboos”

raised against the League. Through
