These were the Principal subjects touched on in the address, which was larre Dortlon of which was devoted large portion of which ws devoted to the related subjects of peace, the League of Nations and the country's foreign policy. , ', Stand Against League. The President's discussion of the peace question opened with a definite stand against the League . of Na' tions. ' "In the existing League of Nations world governing with its superior powers," said the President, "this renubllo will have no nart. There can be no misinterpretation and that will be no betrayal of the deliberate expression or the American people in the recent election; and, settled In our decision fop- ourselves, it is only fair to say to the world in general our associates in war, in particular, that the league covenant can have no sanction by us. "Manifestly the highest purpose of the League of Nations was defeated in linking It with the treaty of peace and making it the enforcing agency of the victors of the war. - There can be no prosperity for the fundamental purposes sought to be achieved by any sueh association so long as it is an organ oi particular treaty, or committed to the attain ment of the special aims of any na tion or group of nations.

This anomalous condition ought not to be permitted to continue- To establish the state of technical peace without delay, l snouid aprove a declaratory resolution by congress to that effect with the qualifications essential to protect all pur rights. ,' Such action would be the simplest keeping of faith with ourselves and could In no sense be construed as a desertion of those with whom we shared our sacrifices in war for these powers are already at peace. "Such a resolution should under take to do no more than thus de clare the state' of peace which all Americans crave. It must, aaa no difficulty in securing just reparation, the restoration for which all Europe yearns, and upon .which . all the worlds recovery most-be founded. Neither former enemy nor ally can mistake America's position, because our attitude as to responsibility for the war and the necessity for just reparation already has had formal and very earnest expression. .
