President Wilson's letter to the Jackson Day dinner of Democratic leaders is as follows:: It is with keenest regret that I find that I am to be deprived of the pleas ure and privilege of joining you and the other loyal Democrats who are to assemble tonight to celebrate Jackson Day and renew, their vows of fidelity to the great principles of our party, the principles which must now fulfil the hopes ot only of our own people but of the world. -The United States enjoyed the spir itual leadership of the world until the Senate of the United States failed to ratify the treaty by which the bellig erent nations sought to effect the set tlements fcr which they had fought throughout the war. It is inconceiv able that at this supreme crisis and final turning point in the international relations of the whole world, when the results of the great war are by no means determined and are still ques tionable and dependent upon events which no man can forsee or count upon, the United States should with draw from the concert of progressive and enlightened nations by which G r many was defeated! and all similar Goverments (if the world be so un happy as to contain any) warned of the certain consequences of any at tempt of a like iniquity, and yet that is the effect of the course the Senate of the United States has taken with regard to the Treaty of Versailles. Way Open For Old Intrigue Germany is beaten, but we are still at war with her, and the old stage is reset for a ; repetition of the old plot. It is now riady for the resumption of the old offensive and defensive allian ces which iaada settled peace impossi ble. It is now open again to every sort of intrigue. The old spies are free to resume their former abomina ble activities. They are again at lib erty to m.ke it impossible for Gov ernments to be sure what mischief is being worked among their own people, what internal disorders are being fo mented. Without the covenant of the League of Nations there may be as many se cret treaties as ever, to destroy the confidence of Governments in each other, and their validity cannot be questioned. None of the objects we professed to be fighting for has been secured or can be made certain of with out this Nation's ratification of the treaty anc? its entry into the covenant This Nation entered the great war to vindicate its own rights and to pro tect and preserve free government. It went into the war to see it through to the end," ad the end has not yet come. It went into the war to make and end of militarism, to furnish guarantees to weak nations and to make a just and lasting; peace. It entered it with noble enthusiasms. Means Keeping World Peace Five of the leading belligerents have accepted the treaty and formal rati fications will soon be exchanged. The question is whether this country will enter and enter wholeheartedly. If it does not do so, the United States and Germany will play a lone hand in the world. , The maintenance of the peace of the world and- the effective execution of the treaty depend upon the whole hearted participation of the United States. I am not stating it as a mat ter of power. The point is that the United States is the only nation which has sufficient moral force with the rest of the world to guarantee the sub stitution cf discussion for ar. If we keep oat of this agreement, if we do not give our guarantees, then ano ther attempt will be made to crush the new nations of Europe. I do not believe that this is what the people of this country wish or will be satisfied .with. Personally, I do not accipt the action of the Senate of the United States as the decision of the Nation. I have asserted from the first that the overwhelming major ity of the people of this country de sire the ratification of the treaty, and my impression to that effect has re cently been confirmed by the unmis ffie evidences of pnbUc opinion A fl flJl' mm '"' .

I have endeavored to make it plain that if the Senate wishes to say what the undoubted meaning of the League is, I shall have no objection. There can be no reasonable objection to in terpretations accompanying the act of ratification itself. But when the treaty is acted upon, I must know whether it means we have ratified or rejected it. We cannot rewrite this treaty. We must take it without changes which alter its meaning or leave it, and then, after the rest of the world has signed if, we must face the unthinkable task of making another and separate kind of treaty with Germany. r ' But no mere assertions with regard to the wish and opinion of the coun try are credited. If there is any doubt as to what the people of the country think on this vital matter, the clear and sing!e way out is to submit it for determination at the next election to the voters of the Na tion, to give the next ' election the form of a great and solemn referen dum, a referendum as to the part the United Stif es is to play in completing tht? settlements of the war and in the prevention in the future of such out 3 ages as Germany attempted to per petrate. We have no more moral right to refuse now to take part in the execu tion and administration of these set tlements than we had to refuse to take part in the fighting of the last few weeks of the war which brought victory and made it possible to dictate to Germany what the settlements should be. Our fidelity to our asso ciftt A in the war is in Question, and the whole future of mankind. It will be heartening to the whole world to know the attitude and purpose of the people of the United States. Crimes in Democracy's Name I spoke just now of the spiritual leadership of the United States, think ing of. international affairs. But fVmvA W nnnther sniritual leadership Vtivl W ' X which is open to us and which we can assume. The world has been made safe for democracy, but democracy has not been finally vindicated. All sorts of crimes are being committed in its name, all sorts of preposterous perversions of its doctrines and prac tices are being attempted, lhis, in my judgement, is to be the great privilege of the democracy of the United States to show that it can lead the way in the solution of the great social and industrial problems of our time, and lead the way to a happy settled order of life as well as to political liberty. The pro gramme for this achievement we must attempt to formulate, and in carrying if. out we shall do more than can be done in any other way to sweep out of existence the tyrannous and arbitrary forms of power which are now mas quarading under the name of popular government. Whenever we look back to Andrew Jackson we should draw fresh inspir ation from his character and example.
