America Not Interested
In European Politics to
Uphold Balance of Power

Manchester, Dec. 30-The text of
the presidents address to the Free
Trade hall audience is as follows:
MY Lord Mayor, Ladies and
Gentlemen: Perhaps l may be per-
mitted to add, fellow citizens:
you have made me feel in a way
that is deeply delightful the gener-
Gus welcome which you have ac-
corded me, and back of it | know
there lies the same sort of feeling
for the great people whom ! have
the privilege of representing.
There is a feeling of cordiality,
fraternity and friendship between
the two great nations, and as | have
gone from place to place and been
made everywhere to ieel the pulse
of sympathy that is now beating
between us, / have been led to
some very serious thoughts as to
what the basis of it all is.
Defines Friendship.
For | think you will agree with
me that friendship is not a mere
sentiment. Patriotism is not mere
sentiment; it is based upon a prin-
ciple, upon the principle that leads
man to give more than he de-
mands. Similarly friendship is
based not merely upon affection, but
upon common service. The man is
not your friend who is not willing
to serve you, and you are not his
friend unless you are willing to
serve him. And out Of that impulse
of common interest and desire of
common service arises that noble
feeling which we consecrate as
friendship.
And SO it does seem to me that
the theme that we must have in our
minds now in this great day of set
tlement is the theme of common in
terest and the determination of
what it is that is our common in
terest. You know that heretofore
the world has been governed, or at
any rate the attempt has been made
to govern it, by partnership of in
tereSt, and that they have broken
down.
Interest Separates Men.
Interest does not bind men to-
gether. Interest separates men. For
the moment there is the slightest
departure from the nice adjustment
of interest, then jealousy beings to
spring up. There is only the thing
that can bind peoples together and
that is common devotion to right.
Ever since the history of liberty
began men have talked about their

Suspicious Rumor That
French and Yanks Differ
Is Dispelled by Pichon
Foreign Minister of France Says No Notable Divergence
Exists and Together We Will Establish Laws to
Record Peace in Immortal Principles
for Which Soldiers Died"

Paris, Dec 30.-This has been the
most active days discussion in
peace conference circles, since the
American delegation arrived. as the
declarations of Premier Clemenceau
and Foreign Minister Pichon in the
chamber of deputies last night gave
a rallying point i'll the form OF the
first official announcement of the
plans Of the French government.
The statements disclosed that
France had determined upon its line
of action on practically all the
questions involved, including So
ciety of nations, on which M. Pi-
chon said the details were now be-
ing formulated.
Premier Clemenceau's statement
on the freedom of the seas was the
first announcement from a high au-
thortative scource. This was &C
cepted as showing that the British
and French viewpoints were in ac-
cord. NJ. Clemenceau's reference to
his talks with President Wilson in
dicated that they had tended to
bring out the significance of the
French premier's previous conversa-
tions with the British prime min
lister regarding the action of the
British fleet during the war, without
which he admitted France could not
have continued the war, as we'll as
his favorable attitude toward the
future British feet.
The sentiment prevails in confer
ence circles here that the American
attitude will not become definite un-
til further knowledge is obtained
concerning the conversations be-
tween President Wilson, Premier
Clemenceau and Premier Lloyd
George.
Now Commanding Figure.
M. Clemenceau's overwhelming
majority on the vote of confidence
in the chamber of deputies makes
him a commanding figure in France,
similar to that of Lloyd George as
a result of the British elections.
La Liberte in an editorial today
scores the opposition for yesterdays
debate in the chamber of deputies,
charging that it was endeavor;ng
to arouse between Premier Glenn
menceau and President Wilson an
artificial conflict, although Il asserts

rights and it has taken several hun
dred years to make them perceive
that the principal condition of right
is duty and that unless a man per-
forms his full duty he is entitled to
no right. 1t is fine correlation of
the influence of duty that right IS
the equipoise and balance of society.
"And so when we analyze the
present situation and the future
that we now have to mold and con-
troll, it seems to me there is no
other thought than that that can
guide us. You know that the United
States has always felt from the very
beginning of her history that she
must keep herself separate from any.

to stand up against such opposition
we'd better chloroform the propo-
sition right now"
Mr.. Zimnlan said ne was present
at Mayor Smiths meeting with the
Florence gardeners and he did not
note any desire among them to have
public market.
Want to Sell Quick.
'The gardener wants to sell his
load of produce in bull: to the gro-
Ger or commission man." he de-
clared. He doesn't want to fool
around with retail customers. We
have tried this before when we
built the public market house It

nue some years ago. The garden
ers wouldn't come there and he
building stood empty ant people re-
ferred to it'as Zimman's folly Let
US be very sure that use will be
made of the proposed building be-
fore we build it."
A suggestion was made that the
Auditorium be used as public
market, but opinion was that this
would cost irore than erection of
the structure at Fifteenth and Dav-
export streets.
The question was postponed for
two weeks.

ENGLAND D

BY WILSON
President Spends Last Day in
Britain at Manchester;
Made to Feel at
Home.

Manchester, Dec. 50.-The people
OF Manchester made President Will
son a free man of their city today.
They did more than that; they made
him at home.
1t seemed as though all the men,
women and children of the town
and many from Lancashire-a at-large,
cheered the president at some stage
OF the crowded five hours in which
he made sort of democratic royal
progress from one point of interest
to another, which was strenuous
enough and vast enough to ex-
haustf even the hardest political
campalgners.
The general atmosphere of all
the proceedings was intimate and
friendly; often the people got near
enough to shake hands. Even the
ceremony of conferring the free
dom of the city had tone of home
ly simplicity and seemed more like
a college commencement tnan a
formally staged ritral. The assem-
bly, sang, "For He's a Jolly Good
Fellow, which could hardly have
occurred at state banquet in the
Guild Hail.
No Separate Peace.
1t was a happy inspiration that
led the aldermen to throw open the
largest hall in the city, instead of
following the custom by holding
the ceremony in the municipal
chamber. This by no means re-
duced the effect of the important
speech the president delivered.
His most important pronounce
ment perhaps to Englishmen. the
most important he had made in
England, that the United States
would make no covenant with any
powers except one with all the
powers, was not lost upon his hear
ers.
No other audience during his
European appearances has absorbed
the presidents utterances so eager
ly, so understandingly, and has so
quickly responded to every point.
No other audience has resembled so
noticeably the character and types
of people to whom the president
has been accustomed to speak at
home.
Perhaps this was because Lanca-
shire has contributed so many citi-
zens to the United States and has
and follows American affairs with
keener interest than most English
counties.
Visits Docks.
The first item in the days pro-
gram, was a drive to the famous
docks which have made Manchester
an inland port. Here the shipping
extended a beflagged and vociferous
greeting to the president while the
workmen from all the big ware
houses and factories around hung
from the windows and stood on the
roofs. Part of the drive was through
the poorer districts, where a few of
the children were too poor even to
have bought American flags to
wave.
Later the president made a brief
in the balcony of the
Royal exchange, where he spoke.
Finally-he took lunch with 200 prom
inent men in the Midland hotel
where he made an acknowledgement
of Manchester's hospitality.
Only the weather was unfr;endly

The notes were ordered by a Rus
sian bank some time ago, but rapid
changes in government in Russia
made the standing of the bank a
question that could not be deter
mined. The question also arose as
to whether the delivery of the ship
nent would further initiate the Rus
sian currency, already inflated un-
der the boshevik regime, which is

The British mystery ship and

Steamer, but as the president and
his party approached, the ship show
I'd its real character.
With all the rapidity and effect of

down and guns appeared with gun
crews at their stations. The Ger
