London Newspapers Reiterate Sentiments
of Hearty Satisfaction That He
Is to Attend the Peace
Conference.

address to the American Congress il cor

newspapers, which reiterate sentiments
OF hearty satisfaction that he IA 10 at
tend the peace conference. They declare
| the president will find the entente
statesmen thoroughly in concurrence
with his idealism and devotion TO inter
national justice,
There is manifest a strain Of anxiety
in the editorials with regard to recon
cilisting the presidents principles as EN-.
bodied In his fourteen points with the
| aspirations Of the allies, The Morning
Post, while paying tribute in the warm
est terms to the president and to Amer
lean cooperation in the war, insists
upon the Importance Of the exact rela-
ton Of the fourteen points to the peace
settlement being understood. II thinks
the points were accepted too hastily by
the allied governments 1t relies, how
ever, upon the presidents definition Of
them as an outline of the basis Of peace
and regards them as "a seryiceable in.
strument with which to begin the work
of securing peace" everything depending
| upon their Interpretation and appliCa-
| tion.
| The Daily News asks anxiously for
evidences Of the acceptance of the spirit
of the fourteen points, the letter of
which was accepted, with the exception,
by the allies, and deplores "the ominous
absence Of any considered or worthy ref
