He asserted that in such a concert tbe world, looked confidently 'to America for leadership, and sided that while the treaty might not be "exactly aa the American delegaBou would have written it, no vital prin ciple had been sacrificed by the acces sary compromise. Received With Cheers. The Senate, already divided into a . bitter fight over the league proposal, received the President with cheers and listened to hia words in a grave si lence.
