Judson Welliver, Returned
from Europe, Talks to
4. Press GLIB.

{ A talk of great interest was>giv-
en-, members OF the National Press
Club yesterday aftefnoon BY Jud-
son welliyer. Just backfrom a two
years experience as a correspondent
In. London, Paris and somewhere In
France" For an hour or more, Mr..
Welliyer told of conditions in the
danger zone. of the attitude of
British labor. OF the desola rion
wreaked by the Hun. Of the eondI-
tions in Germany and all that he
said was instructive and most in
teresting. ;
Let no one be deceived in this
country" said Mr.. Welliver. we
are going to have experiences sim
liar to England. We will win this
war, but IL will be done only by
putting our united man power at
the front and In our factories at
home" p.
Labor In England.
Mr.. Welliver paid q tribute to the
women of Great Britain, and he
.disillusioned any who underrated the
intelligence Of the laboring man OF
England.
They are better organized than we
are. and they are better. educated, or
should / say better informed. They
are determined to do their bit. but
equally determined that when the war
IL over they will have made the world
a better place to live In"
Mr.. Welliver freely discussed the
Japanese question and made 1t clear
that no one who understood the Jap
anese had any fear OF q yellow peril.
He said the abIest men of Britain
have the greatest respect for the
Japanese and for their sense of
honor. His remarks along this tine
were warmly approved by those
present.
Touching on the Irish situation.
he said that that It was the best
Judgment OF most people in Eng
land that Ireland, Scotland and
Wales would be granted a form of
government similar to ours. And he
intimated that the greatest obstacle
was in the attitude of Ulster TO
Catholic Ireland. the attitude. of
Catholic Ireland toward Ulster.
Everybody IL anx ious, for a solu-
tion-and only the Irish themselves
stand in the way" said he.
Germany Has Food.
II was Mr. welliver's opinion that
Germany. having turned the crest of
winter. was in no great danger from
scarcity of food. He said: with
Poland. Belgium, the north of
France and part OF the western
fringe of Russia as a base of sup
ply, do not look for any collapse
In Germany because of lack of food.
The United States has a prob
lem of the greatest magnitude and
Of the most vital concern in
transporting foods to our soldiers
and our allies-and in meeting the
submarine peril. Destroyers and
more destroyers is the answer" said
he.
