ENGLISH PAPER
URGING HASTE IN
STARTING COUNCIL

MANCHESTER, Dec. 31.-Comment-
ing on President Wilson's visit and urg-
ing the necessity of the assembling Of

delay, the Guardian today says:
while we are talking and demon
strating others are acting and by no

practical and the establishment of a
rule of justice and good will among the
nations Of the earth. "N"
Italy Is creating accomplished facts
on the eastern shore of the Adriatic; a
powerful party is forming in France.
which, not content with recovery Of AL
sace-Lorraine and the happy healing Of
that historic sore, threatens to create
a fresh sore by annexation, beyond its
borders. In Belgium claims are being
i~nfluentially asserted not only to lux
emburg, but to sundry portions of
Dutch territory on her northern and
eastern borders. Poland is threatening
and perhaps actually has occupied Dan
zig, a German city with a mere sprink-
ling of Poles, thus to cut off East
Prussia from West Prussia, and appar-
emily she designs to pursue her enter
prise by occupying purely German ter
ritory farther west and south"
The Guardian concludes:
Nov this is obviously not exactly
conformable to either the spirit or the
letter of President Wilson's terms, but
is an attempt to forestall the decisions
Of the conference when 1t meets and
must tend gravely to hamper its work"
