Washington, Jan. 22.Speaking, he said "for liberals
and friends of humanity in every nation and of every
gram of liberty President Wilson today outlined to the
United States senate program of peace for the world
which he believed, would keep all the world safe from
future aggression.
He declared that the only peace which can last is
peace based upon equality and a participation
IN common benefit" Guarantees exchanged, he said,
must neither recognize imply difference between big
nations and small"
H then laid down the following basis for lasting
peace:
Add the authority and power Of the United States to
the authority and force of other nations to guarantee
peace and justice throughout the world.
A peace founded on the equality of rights.
A united, independent and autnomous plan
So far as practicable freedom to all nations for full
development of and direct outlet to the great
highways of the seas.
Freedom Of the seas. .e.essa-t
Limitation of naval and military armament.
The president explained his course by declaring that
it was 'nconcevable that this government should play
no part in the great enterprise" of peace Owing ne
sad to the fact that this government did not wish to
withhold its services he felt the people Of the United
States were called upon ito state the conditions under

In closing his address, the president
said:
am proposing, as it were, that the
nations should with one accord adopt
the doctrine Of President Monroe as the
doctrine of the world; that no nation
should seek to extend its policy over
any other nation or people, but that ev-
cry people should be deft free to deter
mine its own policy, its own way of
development, unhindered, unthreatened,
unafraid, the little along with the
great and powerful
81 am proposing that all nations
henceforth avoid cntangling alliances
which would drive them into competi-
tions of power, catch them in a net of
intrigue and selfish rivalry, and dis.
turb their own affairs with influences
intruded from without"
Of some form of league to enforce
peace, the president said:
"There is no entangling alliance in a
concert of power. When all unite to
act in the same sense and with the same
purposes, all act in the common interest
and are free to live their own lives un-
der common protection. -
The president declared these to be the
American principles and policy.

RECORD PRICE FOR
LABOR AT SEA
American Seamen are Reap

Risks on the Ocean.
(By Associated Press.l


New York, April 27.-What IL said by
marine men to be the topmost price
ever paid for service on an American
or any other merchant vessel. steam or
sail, was recorded with the signing on
of crew of an American ship that is
to sail through the submarine zone.
The first mate will get $500 a month;
chief engineer. $3.50; second mate, 5000;
first assistant engineer, 5000; and so
on down the line to firemen and coal
passers at $50 to SIS, with mess boys
at $45. But, in addition, a war bonus
of 100 per cent is Notwithstanding
the wages-which are to continue until
the men are back at the port of en-
barkation. Should the ship meet dis
aster the men are to be transported
home and the sum of $3.50 for ofhcers
and 800 for men will be paid to all
who lose their personal effects
The earnings of those who follow the
sea have been gradually advancing in
the past year, until now they are dou-
BILE and treble what they were previous
to the war. Prior to 1915 the wages of
first mate averaged 800 a month,
with seamen, firemen and coal passers
getting $40 to $40. Despite the high
wages, shippers say good men are
scarce and a skipper who can leave
port with a full crew is considered
lucky. Reopening of lake shipping,
which is safe from hazard, has called
many men from the seaports.

CANADA's BIG DEBT
Dominion Finds New Military Cares
Costly.
(By Associated Press.)

Ottawa. Ontario, April 27. Sir
Thomas White. finance minister,
declared in the Canadian house Of
commons that Canadas national debt
may reach $1,000, 900, 900 by the end of
the current year owing to war
expenditures occasioned by the in
creased military efforts of the
dominion. Since the war began, he
asserted. the outlay of maintaining
troops at the front was about $780,
00O 900, and in consequence the nation
al debt had jumped from 1886, 000, 900
to 5000, 900.
Abiding to the relationship between
national income and expenditure and
the increase of the national debt Sir
Thomas stated the war revenue from
all sources for the first year of the
war was about, $4,000, 900, the sec
ond year $170.o00.000 and the year
ended last March about 232,000,000.

GERMANS DESPERATE
Throwing Men and Guns into the Fray
Recklessly.
(By Associated Press.l

London, April 27.-Reuter's CORE
spondent at British headquarters in
France contrasts the reckless prodi-
gality with which the Germans are
now throwing reserves of men and
guns into the firing line with their pre-
vious prudence and says that they
clearly realize the full extent of the
Anglo-French menace to their whole
system of communications and are des-
perately trying to counter the danger.
Continuing the correspondent says:
They are throwing in their strate-
gle reserves wholesale and are rushing
up guns and ammunition which must
be weakening some other point in their
long drawn armor. Since the Germans
February they have shown every de-
sire to conserve man-power, but dur
ing the last thirty-six hours they have
shown a complete recklessness in re-
peating counter-attacks in mass with
out regard to the cost, which must be
appalling"
