Recalling Japan's promise to return to China all sovereign rights in Shan tung, the president said the only thing retained by the Tokio govern ment would be economic rights such as other nations hold.

To all "candid minds," he asserted, it now was apparent that the Monroe dostrine was fully protected, that there was no super-government set up and that no danger was to be feared from the "speaking parts" giv en to the British dominions in the league assembly. The withdrawal ob jections, he added, was another "buga boo" that had been dispelled. Thus, continued Mr. Wilson, the whole discussion had settled down upon article 10 under which the mem- meeting held to vote on the question of returning to work, had decided against such a move.
