WILSON’S WORDS
CLEAR UP DOUBT
■CALIFORNIA THROWS OVER ITS
LEADER, JOHNSON, AND
RALLIES TO LEAGUE.
WEST GIVES HIM OVATION
All Doubtful Features of Pact Are
Explained Away By President, and
Former Doubters Hasten to Give
Him Their Support.
(By Independent News Bureau, form
erly Mt. Clemens News Bureau.)
Aboard President Wilaon’B Special
Train—A continuous ovation along the
Pacific coast and then on his eastward
way back toward the capital was given
to President Wilson as he came
toward the end of his month daylong
speaking tour in behalf of the League
of Nations. California, particularly
the delightful city of Los Angeles, went
wild in its enthusiasm for him and his
advocacy of the League, and it was
in that state, perhaps, that he did his
most successful missionary work.
Hiram Johnson, California’s former
governor, now hdr United States sena
tor, and considered by her as the most
likely Republican candidate for the
presidency in 1920, lud before the ar
rival of President Wilson, convinced
a great number of citizens that"' the
League as at present formulated was
not a good thing. He had told them
that the United States, because of it,
would be drawn into every petty
European quarrel; he argued that we
would lose our sovereignty by joining
with the European nations. He had
blamed the president for assenting to
the possession by Japan of the Penin
sula of Shan Tung in China.

BUREAU CHANGES NAME
The Mount Clemens News
Bureau, which has been furnishing
reports on President Wilson’s tour
in behalf of the League of Nations
to 5,500 papers, has adopted a new
name and will hereafter be known
as The Independent News Bureau.
But Mr. Wilson, with clear logic and
with compelling eloquence, answered
to the entire satisfaction of Califor
nia's people every objection which
Senator Johnson had made to the
j 0 of the state’s
!
i
citizens deserted the Johnson stand
ard Immediately and rallied to the sup
port of the president. More than-that,
they came forward and said, “We
were against you, Mr. President, but
you have cleared everything up and
now we are with you heart and soul.”
Still more than that, they let Senator
Johnson know that they were no
longer with him and that they disap
proved of the speaking tour which he
himself was making in opposition to
the League and so powerful was the
volume of public opinion which reach
ed him, that the senator almost im
mediately abandoned his tour. The
Shan Tung question, because of the
anti-Japanese feeling which undoubted
ly exists along the Pacific coast was
the most serious which the president
had to answer. He explained to the
people that he had been powerless to
i prevent the rich peninsula rrom Demg
| given to Japan. England and France,
through a.secret treaty, had promised
it to Japan for entering the war and
remaining in it. That treaty had to
be carried out. Anyway it was not
l China that was losing Shan Tung, but
I Germany, which had seized the terri
tory from China in 1898 and held it
ever since. Japan had promised, the
president explained, to return Shan
Tung as soon as the peace treaty was
ratified and it was only through the
ratification of the treaty with the
League of Nations inclusion, that
China could ever expect to get her
former property back. And she surely
would get it back, he declared, through
the ratification of the League. • There
i fore, through the same instrumentality
! no other nation could again prey up<>n
| the “Great, patient, diligent, but help
1 less kingcfom.” As to our being drawn
into any European conflict. The prea
ident pointed out that no direct action
such as the sending of troops to any
part of the world tp maintain or re
store order could be taken by the
Council of the League without a unani
mous vote of the council members
therefore our vote could at once neg&
live rny such proposition as sending
our soldiers where w& did not want
them sent. Besides, Mr. Wilson argued
"If you have to quench a Are in Cali
fornia you don’t send far the fire de
partment of Utah.” But, he argued
; there probably never will be anothei
war, if the League is established, foj
the members promise either to arbi

decision of the- arbitrator, lay the dif
