The president’s discussion of tho peace question opene'd with a definite declaration against the existing League of Nations. “In the existing League of Nations, world governing w ith its super-pow ers,” said the president, “this re public will have no part. j tory resolution by Congress to that ef fect with thc qualifications essential to protect all our rights. Such action would be the simplest keeping of faith with ourselves ami could, in no sense be construed as a desertion of those with whom we shared our sacrillces in war, for'these powers arc already at peace. “Such a resolution should undertake to do’ no more than thus to declare the stnte of peace which n il America craves. It must add no d,if-ficulty in effecting, with just reparations, tho restoration for which n il Europe yearns, and upon which tho world’s recovery must ho founded. Neither former enemy nor ally can mistake America’s position, because our atti tude as to responsibility fo r the war and tho necessity for Just reparations already has hud formnl aud very earnest expression. “It would be Idle to dcclaro no to make such a .statement of future policy with respect to European af fairs in such a declaration of a state of peace. In correcting thc failure of the executive in negotiating the most important treaty in tho history of the nation, to recognize the constituted powers of the Senate wc would go to the other extreme, equally objection able, i f Congress or the Senate should assume the function of tlie executive. Our highest duty is the preservation of the constituted powers o f each and the promotion of thc spirit of co-opera tion, so essential to our common wel fare. “It would be idle to declare for separate treaties of peace with the Central Powers ou the assumption that these alone would, - be adequate, bccause the situation is So Involved that our pcace engagements cannot ignore the old world relationship and the settlements already effected nor Is it desirable to (lo so in preserving our own rights nnd contracting our ■future relationships. “Tho wiser course would seem to be. the acceptance of the confirmation of rights nnd interests' ns already pro.- vided and Oo engage uuder the existing treaty, -assuming, of eoursc, thnt this can bo satisfactorily accomplished by such explicit reservations and modifi cations as will secure our absolute freedom from inadvisable commitments and safeguard all our essential inter ests. “Neither Congress nor the people needs my assurauco that a request to negotiate needed treaties of peace would l>e as superfluous and unneces sary as it is technically ineffective, and I know in my own Iicart there is none who would wish to embarrass the executive In tho performance of his duty when we all are so eager to turn disappointment and delay into gratify ing accomplishment * * * . “Tho weariness nt home an.d tho dis appointment to the world have been compensated in tho proof that this re public will surrender none of the heri tage of nationality but our rights in in ternational relationship liave to be as serted ; they require establishment in compacts of amity; our part in read justment and restoration cannot be ignored, and must be defined. “W ith the super-governing league definitely rejected aud w ith tlie world so informed, and with tho status of peace proclaimed at home, wc may pro ceed to negotiate thc covenanted rehw tionships so esscntlnl to the recogni tion of the rights everywhere of our own nation and piny Our full part in joining the peoples of the world in th*' pursuits of peace once moro.
