London Press Deciares-Glad Of
Wilson's Visit

London, Dec. 20.-Newspap pers here
make extended comments on the i'm
pending visit of President Wilson to
England The Daily News expresses
profound satisfaction over Mr. Will
sons plan and adds:
Every section of the nation is eager
for an opportunity to display its graft
itude and admiration of the presi-
dents unfaltering idealism and stead
fastness of purpose"
Want Contact With People.
The newspaper, approving of King
George remaining here to honor the
president, hopes, nevertheless, that
the ceremonial aspect of the visit will
be kept to the narrowest limits con-
sistent with its importance, so that
nothing may stand in Mr. Wilson's
way which will prevent his coming in
personal contact with the people
rather than the rulers. It continues:
Want Speedy Action.
while the visit will give the people
an opportunity to range themselves
publicly on his side, it will also give
the president an opportunity Of which
he will hardly fail to avail himself Of
shortening the preIiminaries which
are occU'oying time that might be
profitably devoted to actual conference
with the Allies. These prediminaries
have not been formally begun"
The paper contends that 1t is neces-
sary to press forward to the negotia-
tions and name conditions Of peace
for Germany and determine the future
Of Russia.
Troubled by Russian Question.
"On1y swift decisions by the Allies"
it says, will enable Germany to re-
sumo something like her normal in
dustrial life and secure the survival
OF a government capable of executing
the conditions of peace. Delay
means anarchy, and anarchy in Ger
many is fraught with greater perils
for the world than anarchy in Russia.
The condition of Russia is a matter
upon which MI. Wilson's voice can
carry greater weight than any other.
He has no material considerations to
influence him and no question of the
bondholder will affect his judgment.
He presumably has full knowledge of
the facts which the people of this
country have not-and q straightfor-

Allies are taking the only course open
