and that Is to pwform It”
The President then made this statement of hto understanding of the obligation under ttat artlcls to follow the
i^^os of the council:
*T take it for granted that in practically every esse the United States wouM respond. X quite agree with you that a moral obligation to to be fullllied and X am oonftdent that our nation will fuinU it, hut ttat does not remove from each Individual case the element of Judirment which we are free to exercise In two etagee: i. L "We are first frss to mesroise it in fos vots of our representative on thq council, who will, of course, act under instructions from ths home government, end tn the second place we are to exercise tt when the President, acting upon the action of the council, makes his
reiwmmendation to congrMS.
"Then congreas," Mr. Wilson added, "Is to sxercise ilp Judgment as to wh^er foe inetructions of the executive to our member of the council were well founded or not. and whether this is a case of distinct moral obligation."
Troops Abroad for Years.
Asked by Senator Johnson whethsr the obltgattona assumed under the treaty "go to foe extent of compelltna us to maintain American troops in Eurone" Mr. Wilson rspUed: "Such small h^M as ars neceswy to the carrying
out of the treaty. I think. *
"And will those troops have to be BoiAtalned under the various treaties of macs until the ultimate oonsummation of foe terms of those treaties r* per-

they had ratified IL Constltutionai Point
Referring to a riauae !n foe special defensive treaty with Franoe that provides it ritall come into force only if approved by foe leagua Mr. Brandegeo asked whether tt ia constltatlonally proper for foe senate to approve a treaty with foe uectsloa of its validity
T
left to a body not yet organised The Preaidsnt said he saw no objection The Piesident In hto statement at the opening of the conference said he believed only the meaning of certain parts of foe league covenant stood In foe way of ratification of foe treaty. Later Senator Brandegee told him he had been wrongly Informed on that subject, ss there was much serious opposition tn tbe senate to the Stantung provisions and to other features « Replying to a question regarding the form of Japan's promises to return Shantung, the President said: "They are evident in a 'process verbal* of foe eo-ostied council of four." Senator McCumber—Is there any objection to their being produced before foe committee? •nie President—I think there ts a very serious objection. The reason we constituted that vary small confscenes was so ws could speak with the utmost abMnce of restraint, and I think It would be a mistake to make use of theee dleeusslo^ outside. I do not remember s^ blazing indiscretion of my own, but ttare may be some, tanator McCumber—tn those conversaUons It was fully understood that JaP*® .vy* fo return Shantung as soon as possible. Was there anything stated aa inckiit by "as soon ss posSlDia 7 Japan's Premiss. The Presldent-N«: We relied on Japan’s good fsJth In fulfilling font promise. Senator McCumber—Then "ae soon aa possible" would naturally mean as soon as foe treaty has been signed under which she accepts the transfer from Germaiiy? The President—Z should say that It would msan that the procesa should begin then. Ataed whether Japan could be depended on to carry out her agreement in food flilfo. the president said. I have every confidence that she will."% Senator Pomerene suggested that if the treaty failed of ratification Japan would have Shantung practically at her mercy, whereiut If it were ratified China at least would have the moral assistance of the powers for protection of her rights. The President—I conceive one of the chief benefits of the whole arrangements ttat center in the league of nations to bo Just what you have indicated—that it brings to bear the opinions of the world and the controlling action of the world on all relationships of that hazardous sort, particularly those relationships which involve the rights of the weaker nationa After all, foe wars that are likely to come are most likely to come by aggression against the weaker nations. Without the league of nations they have no buttress or protection. With It they have the united protection of the world; and, inasmuch as it is foe universal opinion that the great tragedy through which we have Just passed never would have occurred If the central powers had dreamed that a number of nations would be combined against them, bo I have the utmost confidence that this notice before band that the strong nations of foe world will in every case be united will make war extremely unlikely. Senator Moses asked whether the copies of the “proces verbal” were among the private papers of foe council of four. Papers Are Preserved. The President—1 would not call them inlvate papers. I have a copy, senator. I regard them as a public trust, not private papers, and I can assure you that they will not be destroyed. The President kdded ttat he would fe^ It hto duty '*to leave those papers where they could be made accessible" at any future time In reply to another queetion the President said he had no doubt that should China make complaint to the league council about Shantung the council would consider her claim promptly. In reply to questions by Senator Johnson the President said foe United States was not cognisant of secret treaties when it Mitered the war. So far as be knew, no secret agreements were made among foe allies after the Unified States chtered the war. Senator Johnson—When our government. through 3^u, Mr. PresulMit, in January. 1918. made the fourteen points as tlte basis for peace, were those points made with the knowledge of the existence of the secret agreements? The President—No— Oh! No. Senator Johnson—It was not intended then by tbe expression of those fourteen
ts to soppiaBt foe alms contained
the eecfvt treaties?
The pFe**«5t^t—Stece I knew nofolng
of them, neetasariiy not.
Senator JwluEmcm—Did China eater foe war on the advice at the Untfed States? The Presld«mtr-I can not telL We advised her to eater, and riie soon after
did.
Senator Jtdmson asked whether foe United States had promised €3ii»a to protect her interests at tbe peace oenfierenoa. _ The President—We made no montise. She taew we vranhl do as well as we could. Senator Jolmaon—Ton did make tta attempt to do tf, too, did you not? The President—Oh! Indeed X did, vmy serioosty. Decision Disappointment. • Senator Johnsmi—And foe deci^m aitimatrily reached at foe peace confereoee was s dissimotntment to you? The President—1 may frankly say that it waa. Tbe PriMddent referred to the Japanese reaolutton for racial equality, "but rather as afii expression of opmion or hope, sad it was not pressed for action.** When a question was raised as to why tbe polky of tbe United States to fix a definite sum for reparations In tbe peace treaty was not sdcqned tbe Prestdent replied it was ‘*nGt an explanation discredtfable to anybody but it is an international secret" and be su^etted that tlie answer be left out of tbe record. After dlseosnon foe answer was not given at alL Senator Johnson again brought up foe Shantung settlement, asking; *'I>id Japan decline to rign the award as made mrprovlded in tbe peace treaty?** The President—Her represeutatlves informed us. senator, ttat they were Instructed not to sign to that event. Senator Johnson—Waa the decision reactad because Japan declined to sign unless that decitoon was reached in that tray? Tbe Premdent-No. I did not think it would be true to say "yee" to ttat a uestton It was reached because we tiought it was the best ttat could be got, in view of foe definite engagements qf Great Britain and France, and the necessity of s unanimous decision, which we hold to be necessary In every case we have decided. Tbe arrangements for publishing a transcript of the discussion, which grew out of a suggestion from the committee that senators be not required to keep the proceedings in confloMice, had Mr. Wilson’s personal superrtsion. After foe committee had departed he went to the While House basement, where foe news]
for
and „ was going smoothly. *'I came down.” he mid to foe correspondents. "to inquire of you gentlemen If foe report of the conference was handled tbe way you wanted." SEE PbSITiON VINDICATED.

"The President opTOsed foe Shantung decision. It was olficially conveyed to him that the Japanese would not sign unless the Shantung rights were given to Japan The Ifnlted States experts advised the Presldtmt that Japan's verbal promise to return the sovereignty of the territory in Shantung, while retaining the economic concessions# was a return of the shell of the nut b\ Japan while she retained the kernel.
