WASHINGTON, Jan S.-Changes
which newspaper publishers want

for the purchase OF print paper were
outlined yesterday to the federal
trade commission at the first open

full power over the paper supply
While the hearing was in progress
the senate made its unfinished bust

joint congressional print paper com
mIttee.
The legislation is In the form ol
a resolution, which provides that dur.

serting that the wool shortage

ford sufficient wool to make all wool

AT the beginning of his address
the president said: Once more the
spokesmen of the central empires
have indicated their desire to dis
cuss the objects of the war and the
basis of a general peace Parleys
have been in progress at Brest-Lto-
vsk. TO which the attention OF all
helligerents has been invited for the
purpose of ascertaining whether II
may be possible to extend these into
a general conference with regard to
terms of peace and settlement.
THE Russian representatives pre-
sented not only perfectly definite
statement of principles upon which
they were willing to conclude peace,
but also an equally definite pro-
gram of concrete application of these
principles.
The representatives of the central
powers presented an outline of set
tlement which, if it was much less
definite, seemed susceptible of lib
eral Interpretation under their spe-
eifie program of practical terms.
"fhat program proposed no con-
cessions either to the sovereignty of
Russia or to the preference of the
population with whose fortunes 1t
dealt, but it meant that the central
empires were to keep every foot Of
territory their armed forces oc,
eupied.

1T Is reasonable to conjecture that
the general principles of the settle
ment which they at first suggested
originated with the more liberal Ger
man and Austrian statesmen, men
who had begun to feel the force of
their own peoples thought and pur-
pose, while the concrete terms Of
actual settlement came from the
military leaders. whole sole thought
was to keep what they had. and
negotiations have been broken off.
"The Russian Representatives are
sincere and earnest. They cannot en-
tertain proposals Of conquest and
domination"
He declared for such arrange
ments and covenants we are willing
to fight and continue fighting until
they are achieved"
He said he responded to the voice
of the Russian people, who are pros
trate. but whose souls are not sub
servient, for a statement of aims.
He made clear the Germans had
challenged their adyersaries to re-
statement of aims.
After outlining the program, he
said: I'VE feel ourselves to be the
intimate partners of all governments
and peoples associated against the
imperialists. We canot be separated
In interest or divided in purpose and
we will stand together until the
end"
