. sax FRANCISCO. Sept.’ 18.--After
one of the most riotous greetings he
has received. President Wilson today
planned to go to Oakland to speak in
favor of the treaty ratification.

Wilson today made public the fol-
lowing answers to questions proposed
by the San Francisco Association for
the League of Nations.

1. The consideration which led to
assigning five votes to the self-govern-
ing colonies of the British Empire was
based on the belief that they have. in
effect. become autonomous
erning s'tates.
but foreign affairs are independent of
control of the British go_vern'ment. and

u e
taken without the unanimous concur-
rence of the members 0.! the covenan
so that the vote of the United States
is necessary and equal to the united
'vole of the representatives of the sev-
eral parts of the British Empire.

. it is not true that und
League of Nations foreign countries
can send American troops to foreign
soil. The rights of Congress to act
on such matters is not infringed.

3. we League of Nations is a pow-
erful effort to forward the restora-

instrunent can bring that about.
will stop further spollation of Chinese
territory and promises the restoration

to China of provinces now held by 0th» I

er countries and assures China that
Shantung will be returned to her in
full sovreignty in time. There is no
other tribunal in the world which
guarantees to China these things.

‘ 4. There is no thing in the League
of Nations covenant or the Peace Treaty
which directly or indirectly obligates
the United States. nmrally or other-
wise, to go to the aid of England in
the case of an Irish rebellion. Such
old is rendered only in the case 0
external asgreaion.

, Neb., Sept. l8.-—Declar-
ing the League of Nations covenant to
be a distortion and the natural result
of a nation not to tell the truth. and
not to expose the wrong in high plac-
es, Senator Hlllun Johnson of Califor-

League of Nations.

He will leave late today for Duluth
