. . CHAPTER. XLI. .
THE WESTERN TRIP.
Tentative plans for a Western
trip began to be formed iri the White
Houm because of the urgent iniist
race from Democratic friends on the
Hill that nothing eonld win the
fight for the League of Nation ex
eept a direct appeal to the country
by the President in person.
Admiral Grayson, the President's
physician and roniiitrnt friend, who
knew hia condition and the various
, physical crises through which he had
.poised here and on the other aide,
from wilt of which he had not vet
Recovered, stood (inn in his resolve
that the President should not go
est, even intimating to me that the
President's life might pay the for
feit if his advice were disregarded.
Indeed It needed, not the trained
eye of a physician to gee that the
man whom the Senator wcrc now
advising to make a ''swing around
the eircle,'' was on the verge of a
.nervous breakdown. Morothan once
nine hia return from the Peace Con
ference, I had argefl kirn to take a
seeded rest; to get away- from the
jtanaeil ef Washington and recuper
ate bat h spumed this advice aad
ftrmlvad to go through to the end.
W No argument of ouds eould draw
aim away from hia duties, which now
involved aot only the light for the
rattllcatioB of the treaty, hut the
threatened railway strike, with its
attendant evils to the country, and
added administrative burdens grow
ing out of the partisanship fight
which was being waged in Congress
for the ostensible purpose of reduc
ing the high" cost of living.
Ready For Any Sacrifice.
One day, after Democratic Sena
tor had been urging the Western
trip, I took leave to say to the
President that, in his condition, dis '
astrtvut consequence might result
if he should follow their advice.
But he dismissed my solicitude say
ing ia a weary way: "I know that
I am at the and of my tether, hut
.any friends on the Hill say that the
trip is necessary to rave the treaty,
aad I am willing to make whatever
ereonal sacrifice is required, for tfj
bt treaty should be defeated, God
only knows what would happen to
the world as a result of it. Ia the
presence of the grest tragedy which
bow faces the world, no decent man
caa eount hia own personal fortunes
ia the reckoning. Even though in
any eodition, flt might mean the giv
ing np of my life, I will gladly make
the sacrifice to save the treaty."
He spoke like a soldier who was
ready ta make the supreme sacrifice
to save the rau that lay closest
to his heart.
As I looked st the President
while he was talking, in my imag
ination I made a comparison be
tareea the man, Woodrow Wilton,
h bow stood before me and the
aiaa I had met many years before
ia New Jersey. Ia those day
ha was a vigorous, agile, slender
aa, active and alert, hia hair but
slightly streaked with gray. Now as
ha stood before me discussing ne
eeesity for the Western trip, he was
aa aid man. jtowu grayer aad

Washington, Dec. 2. Rumor here
today was busy with the report that
former President Wilson ia soon to
call upon those who with him be
lieve in the League of Nations to
get busr in a newOrffort to vindicate
me principle tne league emhomea
The .amor is on the statement at
trihiited to a recent caller on Mr
Wilson -that he had said that the
time had come to test the sincerity
of those who snld they were opposed
to the league- en American
grounds the former President be
ing quoted aa saying that he did
not believe Senators could save their
faces if they were now called upon
to vote on the question of this conn
try entering the league nnder reser
tations safeguarding all American
rights.
Others Woald Agree.
It is said that he pointed out that
Great Britain, France, Italy and
other league members are willing to
agree to virtually any conditions
proposed by the United States In or
der to have it enter the league. He
is said to have made no comment on
the proposed Harding "Association
of Nations, but has sa id that re
cent event" show unmistakably that
the United 8tntes is headed towards
membership in the League of Na
lions. Close friends are reported to
have said that he views the preaent
conference aa a severe blow to the
enemies of the league, who wanted
this parley in order to obtain aome
thing that would prevent a strong
political reaction that wouliLaehieve
the ideals expressed in the- league
and that in place af this the confer
eaea ia promising to put this country
iatk.iha League of Nations.
. Jsaaa Yielding-
With nothing new given out from
the armament's conference, still
there came to'Say talk that Japan
was in a yielding mood on the 10-
10-6 rntlo for capital ships, and waa
about ready lo be hitched up to the
Hushes proposal. It ia understood
that thi would come if certain con
resion would he made Japan for its
acceptance of the naval scrapping
program. It i said that one agree
ment is that Japsn is to be given s
six months' "notice'" before wsr
could be waned scainst it, with per
Imps a tiny modification of the ratio
in order that Japan will feel assured
of "its national security." But there
ia not expected to be any material
change in the ralio of naval power
proposed by Secretary Hughes. 1 nc
imnression prevail that Japan will
no longer pres it fight for the 70
per cent naval ratio, the insistence
for which has heretofore blrtcked the
acceptance of the proposal of the
United Btatc. William Jennings
Brvan considers the outlook good,
that there must be no alarm about
opinions of experts a to armaments,
that experts disagree and govern
ment ettle matter. He i known
to have the confidence of the Jap
nee, and as he is most optimistic
sbout progress of the conference, it
may be well to consider affairs as
steadily getting into ahape for agree
ment on controverted points.
Llqaor Matter Lp
The fact that the embassies are
"wet" territory so far a an obscrv
ance of the Voltend law is concern
ed, and that at the reception given
bv these in honor of the visiting
delegates even the meeting place
become 'extra-tcrritoria' where
wines aad liquors are in abundance,
itb current reports thst bootleggers
are selling liquors originally con
signed to legations, has started a
fight to have Congress withdraw the
immunity from the law given for

matter of a liquor supply. Wayne

H. G. Wells Doesn't Agree With Senator Borah That
Harding Project Is Only Another Name For

By H. C. WELLS
(By Arrangement with the New York World and the Chicago Tribune
The futility of the idea of a Limitation of Armmen..ay JLiniita
tion of Warfare as a puanible remedy for the present distresses of man
America. To arrest the economic decadence of th
world a sat all wider bond is needed.
So the inflexible logic of the situation brings us back to the problem
of a world alliance and a world guarantee, the problem of which the
League of Nations was the first attempted solution. The conference, is
being forced towards that ampler problem again, in spite of the sever
retriction of it agenda. After President Wilson's "league" comes
President Harding'a "Association." Senator Borah, in alarm, emergen
from the silence he ha hitherto kept during the Conference to declare
that this "Association" is only another name for the "Leagjre." tlja
we may differ from him. Association and lysRiie are alike in seeking to
organise the peace of the world, but in every other rcsp.-ct they are dif
ferent schemes, differing in aims, acope and spirit.
Harding Project ia Flexible.

while the league was a very clearly
defined thing planned complete

Mr. Morse has been ''requested to

desire to make it plain that they had
not entered into the merits of the

sum the American governments
wiahei are orders for us.

Washington, Ilec. 2-(By the As
sociated Prexs.l-A new atage in ths
negotiations over the question ' af
naval ratio, described as "very fa
vorable," is understood toTiave beea
reached at tonight' conference be
tween the representative of tha

pan.

diately began negotiation with

some optimism. One delegation

the rrfost important discussion! yet
held, which would mesa much, to tha
success of the conference al a whole.
The result was "most favarab!,
he added.
Japanese Concessions
There were some Indirstions be
ing construed to mesa that the Ja
panese viewpoint on nnval ratio waa
being brought more i.nto harmonf
with the American. It was under
stood that in the discussion of Fa
Eastern nffaira today some conces
sions of opinion were msde toward
the Japanese contentions regarding
muintainnnee of foreign troop ia
China. By some this wa interpret'
ed as meaning that the Japanese
were making concession ea the
naval question.
Term of Compromise.

observing ghe conference expressed
the opinion that today's conference
h.wi tri do with some projected, term
of compromise nhieb haa first to be
referred to Tokio, as the official
Japanese hern are without pleal
potentiary power, and aa the earn
ing agreement had to he considered
in Tokio with regard to its effect aa
the present Jaimneae ministry.
Theae Japanese who have beea
well inform.-. 1 of the progress of tha
negotiations pointed out that aa
agreement by tvhirh the Japanese
navy would te permitted to retaia
the auperdreadnaught Mutsu and by
which the I'nited Htate would agree
to fortify .its Pacific basea ao fur
ther, would according to Japanese
calculation place the Japanete naval
ratio at approximately 65 to IM per
cent indeed of the 60 per cent stipu
lated in the American proposals.
