LONDON. Nov. 3O.--In view OF the
widespread discussion regarding
President Wilson's decision TO attend
the peace conference. the United
Press asked Lord Northcllffe. Brit
aims greatest publisher. for a state
-nent OF the European attitude as to
the presidents personal participation
In the deliberations.
Responding to this special request,
Lord Northcliffe today made the fol
lowing statement:
Foreigners have no right 20 take
part I'm the politicsof other countries.
That the president Of the United
States would attend the peace confer
ence has always been regarded here
not only as matter OF politics. but
M an essential factor In the situa-
ton.
1T would hn unthinkable to us. for
example. that Premier Lloyd George
should not b. at the peace confer
cncrs.
Il am not In position 20 speak for
France. but cannot conceive II possf-
ble that the peace conferences should
take place without Clemenceau as
one OF the French representatives.
Cunt Comprehend II
The whole discussion shows the
grave danger that always exists on
international Misunderstanding. 1t
is apparently evident from cables we
are now getting that many citizens
OF the United States. democrats as
well as republicans. object TO the
presidents visit. can only say that
We cannot comprehend the situation.
Britain and her four sister ma
tions. Canada. Australia. New Tea.
land and South Africa. have had
nearly soo. 900 men killed. People OF
all shades of opinion here realize that
our head man. Premier Lloyd
George. must be at the peace table
TO look after the interests Of n nation
like ours. that has suffered so ter
ribly.
THE United States has played a
great part in the war. and the Ger
mans have consistently addressed the
president
AS foreigner. altho a warm
friend OF the United States, | can ex-
press no view OF American politics
tho. of course, | have many views
but may be allowed to say. as an
expression OF personal opinion. that
II these conferences were held with.
out President Wilson, the whole Eu-
ropean world would think that there
was something very wrong. indeed,
with those conferences"
