Speaking at San Francisco, Mr. Wilson said that no words were strong enough to depict the reliance placed by the rest of the world in the leadership of the United States. Americans were the trustees of humanity. If they deserted it, all was lost. Shantung had not been taken from China but from Germany. A • new international policy for the protection of China was certain to come upon the initiative of the great Powers whereby Chinese integrity would be fully protected. OPPOSITION CAMPAIGN. "RUSHING TREATY THROUGH" A. and N.Z. NEW YORK, Sept. 17. Speaking at Omaha, Mr. Hiram Johnson, one of the leading opponents of the Versailles treaty in the Senate, said that Mr. Wilson's idea was to rush the treaty through the Senate before the people understood it. Bulgarian, Turkish, and Austrian treaties were passed, and secret agreements made before the United States entered the war, yet the League of Nations required America to guarantee in American blood the sanctity of these agreements.
