Th president began by asking; his audience If they could understand he was as glad to see them as they were to see him and went on to express lil appreciation of his reception. Ills reception In Europe, he said, he considered aa not tribute to himself but a welcome to the American people. He regarded It aa a welcome to the friends of liberty coming across the sea lo see that a new world was to be consecrated on the baala of Justice and right.

"The greatest thing 1 have to report to you." said he. ''1 that thla great country of ours 1 trusted throughout th world. I liave not come to report on the progress of the peace conference. That would be premature. "The men who are In Iconference In Parts realise they are not masters of their people, but servants of their people and that no man will dare go home from that conference and report anything less than la expected." Speaking of the slow progress of the conference, the president reminded his audience of the complexity of the problems affecting nearly every country in the world.

"What we are doing." he aald. "Is to hear th whole case from thoe most Interested. I have been struck by the moderation of those representing national claim. No Nation Distruata Amarioa. "I have seen tears In the eyes of men there, pleading for a national ambition, but they were not the tears of anguish; they were the tears, ef ardent hope.

"There is no nation In Europe that suspects the course ot the United Btatea. Waa there ever such a wonderful thing before? "I would not have you understand that the men who represent the other nations there are disinterested. Quite the contrary." The European statesmen, he said, when unable to agree were wont to resort to the nation known as "the friend of mankind." To illustrate his point the president related that American soldiers were welcomed lit alt the European countries. "If I were, to regard the pride I feel a personal pride, I would be the most stuck up man In tno world. "I have been searching for the fundamental fact that haa brought Europe to believe in us.

She Beamed for the first three years to believe we felt we could make more by staying out than going in. Then sud dently the whole verdict was ie vented. It was when they saw that America not oply held Ideas, but acted Ideas, they became the confirmed partisans of America and became converted to these Ideas."
