Washington. Aag. II.—President Wilson began nU conference artth the Babate Posaign Relatione Committee at the White House today with an opening statement on the peace treaty and the League of Nation* H, said: Mr. Chairman: I am sinesraly glad that the committee should have responded in tbla way to my Intima tion that I would Ilka to be of ser alt, to It. I welcome the opportunity . . for a frank and full Interchange of views. • I hope too that this confer . ance will terra to azpedit* your con sideration of the treaty of peace. 1 beg that you will pardon ana Indulge me If 1 again urg, that practically the whole task of bringing tbs conn try back to normal conditions of life and industry waits upon tbs de cision of the Senate with regard to the terms of tho peace. 1 venture thus again to urge my advice that the action of the Senate with regard to the treaty b, taken at the earliest practicable moment bees" * the problems with whiah we ara face to face in the readjustment of our national Ufa are of th, most pressing and critical character, will roqal-e for their proper solution the most Intimate sad disinterested co operation of all parties and an in terests and caanot be postponed wkh • oat monlUgt peril to oar. country and to all th# Mmeiaal advantages are Pku Oa It. • plan*, of come, wait cannot intelligently or how largo a naval or are ihatl maintain or with regard to milj i until are have also until we o be unstained, whether by the arm* of single nations or by the concert of all of the great peopina. And there Is more than that diffi culty involved. The vast surplus properties of tba army include, no! food *'d clothing merely, whose sale will affect normal production, but great manufacturing * establishment also, which should bv restored to their former nee*, great stores of machine tools, and nil aorta of merchandise which rent lie Idl* until peace and military rntlcy are deAnltety deter mined. By the same token there can he no properly atudiet national budget The nations that ratify the treaty, each as Grant Britain, Belgium and Prance, wilt b* In a position to lay their plans far coatrolling tb* mark ets of Central Europe without co operation from us if we do not pres ently act. Wo have no consular agents, no trade representative* there ” to look after oar into rent*. There nr* large areas of Europe whoa, future will lie uncertain and Questionable until their people know the Anal settlements of peace fend the M mil I eh tea .J.I.U.s aasl eastern It. Without determinate markup our production cannot pro ceed with Intelligence or conAdence. Tber, can be oo ttabillsatlon of wagee becauae there eon he ne settled condition* of employment. There can be no easy or normal industrial, erud ite, becaeee there can be DO confident or permanent revival of bwrinem. Every Elemeat Dependent. But I will not weary you with ob vioa* example*. I will oaly venture to repeal that every element ef norm al Ilf, among*! tu depend* upon and await* tka ratification of the treaty of peace; end alee that we cannot afford to to*, a single Cummer'* day by net doing el Ithat we can te mitigate thy winter'* Buffering, which, ante** we find mean* to prevent it, may prove disastrous to a large por tion of the world, and may, at Ite wont, bring upon Europe condition even more terrible than thou, wrought by the war Itwlf. Nothing, I am led to believe, stand) in th« way ef the ruttfluatiou of the treaty except certain doubts with re gard to the meaning end implication •f eeriatn article* of the covenant o1 the league ef Nations; and I must frankly say that I am anxious to un derstand why such doubt* should be entertained. Ten -will record that when I had the pleasure of a eonfar enee with your eommltteo and wit) the committee of the Rous, ef Itep resentstivee on torign affaire at the White Room la March last the qeee tlons new meet frequently atkec about (he League ef Nations wen all caaraeaed, with a rlew to Ueii immediate clarification. The coven int of the league wea then in ita Srvt draft and lubjrct to revlMoo. It ru pointed out that no expreaa re cognition was given to the Monroe Doctrine, that it erea not eaproaaly provided that the league ahould have no authority to act or ta expreaa > Judgment on marten of domaatic policy, that the right to withdraw from the league waa not oxpruaaly recognised. and that the constitutional right of the Congress to determine all onnetiona of peace and war wee not aufltclortly eefeguarded. On my return to Paris <11 them matters wore Lakcn ap again by the roramlaaion on Lbe League of Nations and every aag yoetlon of the United Rules waa ac cepted. No Doobt A beat Meaaiag. The view of the United States with ruird l<> the qoeetlone I have mea Lioncd had, in fact, already been ac cepted by the commleeion and there waa euppoeed to b« nothing Wieoaalat ent with them in the draft of the rovennnt ft ret adopted—the draft which wna the eabjoct of ear diaeue don in March* bat no objection was made to laying explicitly in the text what all had supposed to ha implicit in it There waa absolutely no doubt aa to U>« .moaning of any one of tbg resulting . provlaione of the covenant in the l/indi of thpee Who participated te, drafting them, and I nspfctf ally robmit that.- there -is- do thing vans r&'SS.Z'&ZZSBi’eAi th« matter Involved la claimed bymn, at tie perttoe “and ta found by. fie council to arias oat •f a matter which by International law (a ealely within tb« domett* of party the MeII shaB ao report, and iball tt(M M recommendation a« to Ita aettliraant" Anwln Wee Not Aim The United States was Vy ne meant the only government interested In the explicit adoption of this provision and there I* no doubt in' the miad of any authoritative student of international law that such matters as Immigration, tariffs, and naturalisation are Incon testably domestic questions with which no international body could deal without esprees authority to dc so. No ouumeruUon el domestic questions was undertaken because tc undertake It, eves by sample, would have involved the danger of seemlni to exclude thos* not mentioned. The right of any sovereign slate u withdraw had been taken for granted but no objection was mads to makini it explicit. Indeed, so aeon as thi views expressed at th, White House conference ware laid before the com mission it was at once conceded that it was best not to leave the anserei to so Important a question to infer cnee. No proposal was made to **1 op any tribunal to pern jodgmea upon the question whether a with drawing nation had in fact fulfilled "all Its Internationa] obligations and all ite obligations under tea coven ant." It was recognised that the question must be left to be resolves by the conscience of the nation pro posing to withdraw) and I moat saj that it did not seem to me -worti while to propose that the art lei, ty made mor. explicit because I Iruee that the united States would oevei Itself propose to withdraw from th< league if ita conscience was not en lively clear as to the fulfillment el all ita internatienal obligations.
