Letter by Wilson
Read at Meet of
Business Chiefs

Atlantic City, y. J., Dec. 4.-In
his opening address to the recon
struction congress of business men
representing nearly all the indus
tries of the country here today,
Harry A Wheeler. Chicago, pres
ident Of the Chamber of Commerce
Of the United States, declared that
American business, in common with
like interests of other nations,
should be consulted in framing the
peace congress.
with this ip mind said Mr..
Wheeler, Il addressed a letter to
the president on Nov. 23. contain
ing the following inquiry:
Would It be helpful if Amer
lean industries should name a thor
ouRhly representative committee,
particularly informed regarding
the basic Industries of the country,
TO be present in France during the
course Of the peace conference and
give counsel on such phases Of the
peace uegOt .atiOns as may bear dl-
recty upon commerce and indus
try2 II such a group would be use
ful. great care would be taken to
select men having the largest Wis
ion and the most generous i'm
pulses in connection with the re
sumption of industrial activity
throughout the world.
To this inquiry the following re
ply was received.
90 You may be sure that I would
send a message to the meeting at
Atlantic City if I knew what mes
sage to send. but frankly / do not.
It is time when we must all
thoughtfuIly take counsel and ap-
pIy the wtsest action to the Circum
stances as they arise.
7 am OF course engrossed with
preparations for leaving for the
other side / hope that you viii
extend my warmest greetings 20
those who will assemble at Allan
tic city
1t may be that the president has
in mind, or has already selected an
Industrial commission
with whom the members Of the
peace conference may take coun-
sci as occasion arises. but upon
this point his letter IS silent except
IN the broad statement that we
must all thouehtfuily take counsel
and apply the wisest action 70 cir
cumstar~es as they arise
since in questions Of reConstruc-
ton. other nations will undoubtedly
be adequately represented with the
most expert support that can be

whether you regard The matter OF

PRESS
LAUDS WILSON
Favorable Comment On Speech to
Congress Made By British
and French Papers.

Paris. Dee 4.-The Paris news
papers print the principal passages
Of President Wilson's message to
congress and special writer's com
ment favOrably.
Gustave Herve in La Victoire
writes:
"One passage of the message in
terests US especially. 1t is that in
which President Wilson announces
his intention of asking congress to
make a special effort TO help the
economic restoration of France and
Belgium. 1t is not without deep
gratitude that France and Belgium
will learn of this fresh demOnstra-
ton of active and brotherly sym
pathy on the part of the American
people"
London. Dec 4-President viii
sons address TO the American
congress was extensively com
mented upon by this mornings
newspapers here
The Morning Post. while paying
tribute TO the president and Amer
lean cooperation, insists upon the
Importance of the exact relation of
the IA points 10 the peace settle
ment being understood. The news
paper thinks the points were ac-
Cepted too hastily by the allied
governments 1t relies, however,
upon the presidents definition of
them as an outline of the basis of
peace and regards them as "A ser
viceable instrument with which TO
begin the work of securing peace"
Everything depends upon their
Interpretation and application.

LEAGUE TO FORCE
PEACE rs BACKED
BY SEN. KELLOGG

Washington. Dec 4-Creation of
a league of nations to maintain
peace-not a super-government to
dominate and interfere with ma
tons internal affairs, but a world
tribunal for arbitration of interna-
tionaI disputes, with enlightened
public opinion as a large factor in
enforcing its decrees-was adYO-
Gated by Senator Kellogg of Min
nesota, Republican, in an address
today in the senate.
In the course of his remarks Sen
ator Kellogg expressed regret at
what he characterized as the lack of
disposition of President Wilson to
deal more frankly with the people
and the senate regarding his views
on problems coming before the
peace conference.
Pointing out that league of ma
tions to stop all wars had been a
"favorite theme for discussion by
benevolent publicists and states
men for two thousand years" Sen
ator Kellogg said that its failure TO
date need not be discouraging and
that public sentiment had advanc-
ed until an international alliance
for maintenance of peace may now
be considered feasible.
81 believe the time has come" he
said. "to try to establish a league
to prevent war and to enforce
peace. which may not be entirely
preventative, but backed by a world
public sentiment, will have tre-
influence toward main
tanning justice and equitable rela-
tions between nations and prevent
ing the sorrows of war"

English King Has
Some Opinion of
Ex-kaiser Cousin

London, Nov. Correspond
ence OF the Associated Press. y
What does King George really
think of his cousin, William Hohen-
zollern, former German emperor?
That is a question that has been
often asked but has never received
anything approaching an authori-
tatiVe answer. According to a
writer in the Daily News, which is
usually very careful as to the
trustworthiness of what it prints.
King George regards him as the
greatest criminal in the world to-
day"
The writer says that he was talk
ing a few days ago with we'll
known stateman who has had many
opportunities during the war and
especially lately. of hearing the
king express his views of the kaiser
and he thus summarizes what the
well known statesman" told him:
My informant says that the
kings feelings and expressions are
so strong that they could hardly be
reproduced verbatim but that the
substance of them is that the kaiser
is the greatest criminal in the
world today. that ne is directly re-
sponsible for the outrages on the
Belgian and French civil popuIa-
tons; for the bombing and air
raids on the innocent Inhabitants
Of unfOrtifed towns: for the tor
pedoing of passenger and hospital
ships and the sinking of survivors
in their life boats; for the first use
Of poisoned gas. the poisoning OF
wells. the destruction Of works Of
art; destruction Of historic build
ings Of beautiful towns. and the
machinery of industrial life and po-
tention reconstruction. that he has
not only permitted these things to
proceed. but was In many cases a
personal assenter TO and director
Of them and that for such a man no
retributive penalty, however severe,
would be undeServed.
