REVIEWS THREE
YEARS IN OFFICE
President Makes Public His Talk
to Correspondents.
MUST PLACE AMERICA FIRST

Chief Executive Says Greatest Need
of Today Is Men in Public Affairs
Who Think in Terms of the United
states-Too Many Men Are Guided
by Personal Motives.
Washington, May 17.-President
Wilson made public frank and init
mate review of his three years in the
White House and his impressions OF
foreign and domestic problems, de-
livered conidentially before Washing
ton correspondents gathered at the
National Press club.
The greatest need of today, he said,
in discussing the relations of the Unit
ed States with the European war and
other problems, is men in public af-
fairs who think in terms of America.
He admitted frankly that few men he
discussed international questions with
had proved themselves guided by 9TH
er than personal motives.
The president spoke freely of the
motives that guided his handling of
the European situation.
"America," the president said, ''is
for peace because she loves peace and
the nations engaged so far that they
cannot be held to ordinary standards
of responsibility"
But, he added, the United States has
Grown to be one of the great nations
Of the world and therefore must act
more or less from the point Of view
of the rest of the world
Tells Haw to Hold Control.
eff I cannot retain my moral infu.
ence over man except by occasional.
ly knocking him down." he said. "if
that is the only basis On which lie
will respect me, then for the sake Of
his soul I have got occasionally to
knock him down."
Impressions of public men as &
class we're given frankly by the presi
dent with the comment that some
grew and some swelled. He also dis
cussed the relations of the newspa
pers to the affairs Of the nation and
sounded a warning that false informa
ton about foreign affairs was more
than likely to lead to trouble.
"And I have something that it is
no doubt dangerous to have. I have
profound intellectual contempt fol-
men who cannot see the signs of the
times
1--WE need their places for people
who are awake, and we particularly
need now, gentlemen, men who will
divest themselves of party passion
and of personal preference and will
try to think in the terms of America
eff a man describes himself to me
now in any other terms than those
terms I am not sure of him and I love
the fellows that come into my office
sometimes and say, Mr.. President,
am an American
Their hearts are right; their in
stinct is true; they are going in the
right direction and will take the right
leadership if they believe that the
leader is also man who thinks frsi
of America"

and Defects" prepared by Cressy L.
Wilbur, NJ. d., formerfy chief sta.
tistician for vital statistics, Bureau Of
the Census, and now director of vital
statistics, New York State Depart
ment OF Health, in which are set
forth many interesting and significant
facts In reference to the growth of
birth and death registration in this
country.
DIR. Wilbur says: THE United
States has Jagged far behind the more
progressive foreign countries in the
matter of maintaining reliable records
OF births, deaths and sickness. The
Importance Of such records as aids in
sanitation and the safeguarding of
health is little appreciated by the
average citizen, and In many cases
by state and municipal authorities.
Yet 1t should be fairly obvious that
much more intelligent and effective
efforts can be made for the prevention
or suppression of any disease il ac-
curate records are available in respect
to its prevalence and the number of
fatalities caused by 1t.
- nose who view with apprehension
the decline In the American birth rate
may take comfort from the fact that
the births In this country are still in
excess OF the deaths, The excess is
probably as great as so per cent, and
may be even more, but 1t is not pos
sible yet to estimate 1t with any de-
gree OF precision. The population of
the United States would, therefore.
show a healthy Increase from decade
to decade, II the present birth rates
were TO remain substantially un.
