alton. Having learned many
things at first hand the view
of Mr.. Glass regarding the
Presidents trip to the peace
conference carries weight. In
an interview with the New
York World, which paper op-
posed the Presidents action he
gives unqualified approval of
the course Mr.. Wilson has
taken and he explains why.
There is abundant reason TO be-
lieve that he, as the head of the Uni
ted States Government and as a great
statesman. win be regarded as repre-
sentings the most unseIfish and ideal
istic interests at the peace table, and
that he will be accorded n sort of ju-
dicial function that will smooth over
and arbitrate the many difficult diff
ferences that are anticipated as likely,
thing he can do for the interests of the
United States is TO go to Paris, and
time will prove it,"
Mr.. Glass says that while
there is a strong sentiment in
England in favor of England's
traditional policy on the seas
he heard from the lips of rep
resentative BritisherS the adj
mission that there must be
some modification of England s.
policies in regard to blockades
in time of war. He empha-f
sizes also the fact that English
men admit they have misunder-
stood America in the past and
that they are now sincerely de-
sirous of correcting the situa-
ten in every possible way.
Then what could be better
for all concerned than for
England and all Europe to hear
at first hand from the man most
qualified to speak as to Amer
lean ideals and our wishes for
the future? If Europe still
needs light on the subject of
America who is in better posi-
ton to enlighten them than the
man twice honored by the peo-
ple with their votes and who
now fills our most exalted sta-l
