AMERICA'S PEACE

PRESIDENT WILSON'S VETO

[Peess Association.] (Reuters Telegrams.)

WASHINGTON, May 28. Congress refused to over-ride the veto of the Knox resolution. .President Wilson, by vetoing the resolution, declared that the Treaty embodied important things omitted by tho resolution. In rejecting the Treaty the United States declared in effect'that she wished to draw apart and pursue only her own objects and interests. Such a peace with Germany as the resolution proposed was, or ought to be, inconceivable, as it was inconsistent with the dignity of the United States and with the rights and liberties' of the citizens and the very fundamentals of civilisation.
