In a similar way domestically Mr.
Wilson regards concessions to the growth
OF the Socialistic idea as necessary,
Though he no doubt stops far short of
the British labor party in its views
upon reconstruction. there is a certain
general sympathy between him and its
leaders.
President Intoierant OF Restraint
These are the policies which interest
nm and which ankle him want to con-
tinue in office Beyond the limits of
his present term. He wants to see his
constructive work go on under his own
hand. II there is a Republican Congress
Mr.. Wilson'S will will be challenged He
is intolerant of challenge and resents
coordinate power. Two years of quar-
relling with an adverse majority in the
legislative branch, unless he had prac-
tically a united country behind him,
might make him weary of his task and
ready TO yield 1t up at the end of his
present term.
Democratic Congress and Third Term
Men who vote for a Democratic Con-
gress this time are certainly voting for
four more years OF Wilson. Men who
vote against ii are voting against 4
third term. The President has made the
issue personal. He has asked his Der /.
sonal supporters to give him the kind of
congress he wants. If Democratic
congress is elected 1t will be a personal
victory for the President 1t will tend
to his comfort in office for the next two
years and stimulate his desire to sue
coed himself.
Opinions differ on the wisdom of the
Presidents letter. In general 1t follows
party lines though some Democrats con-
cede privately that the President has
made mistake and some Republicans
with equal privacy say that a Demo-
cratic Congress. Senate and House
would have been elected anyway and
that this letter will enable Mr.. Will
son to capitalize personally to the fullest
extent the Democratic victory.

into the open market to contract for their years supply of steel. rubber and other supplies. And none of the es- tablished, old-time companies has an over-supply. or over-stocked sales rooms.
 The natural result of these con ditions, Mir. Bowen deducts, is that the price of labor cannot be reduced until the price of living is reduced materially. Upon the price of living depends the price of labor, and upon the price of living and the price of labor depend the price of steel and rubber. On all these factors depend the price of the automobile when the market demand is at a stable and even point and when companies are not over-supplied and over-stocked. Con sequently, declares MT. Bowen, the price of the established lines of auto mobiles cannot be reached at this time and probably will not be reduced for some time to come.
 In spite of the fact that the prices will remain at the present level, Mir. Bowen declares that motor car dealers of the coast are looking forward to one of the best seasons in the history of the industry with sales for the maximum output of the established plants. Already, declares the pioneer automobile dealer of this district, the after-the-war sales are beginning to jump and indications point to brisk sales during the spring months when the tourists and vacation seasons will again open.
 The motor car industry on the Pa cific coast, declares MT. Bowen, is as healthy as it has ever been despite the war and curtailed sales. Every large agency is laying plans for meet ing the heaviest demand for cars in the history of their business and sub agencies are beginning already to in crease their demands on the large dis tributors of the southwest

GERMAN PAPER RAILS
 AT SUICIDAL PLAN
Says Pan-Germans in Navy Planned
 for sortie of Desperation Against
 Allied Fleet Rather Than Meet Dis honor of Defeat

AMSTERDAM, Nov. 20. Gore spondent of the Associated Press).- The attempt of officers of the German High Seas fleet to make a suicidal sor- tie against the British grand fleet, be- fore the armistiee was signed, is char acterized by the Berlin Vorwaerts as the .last devilish crime against the German people that sealed the doom of the Pan-Germans." Refusal of the sailors to go out and fight is regard ed as the first step toward the Ger man revolution. This mutiny is de- scribed by the VOrwaerts as "an act of self-defense by SO,000 men against the villianous Pan-German plan.
 'To understand the position" con tinues the newspaper, "it is necessary to go back to the feverish propaganda by the Pan-Germans at the end of Oe- tober for a so-called national fight of despair. To save their necks they con ceived the idea of batting the people into a forlorn hope which could only end in complete extermination. The death of the doomed S0,000 did not concern these maniacs in whose reck- onings human blood never counted. Their notion of military honor was that the whole people should suffer themselves to be butchered rather than undergo the shame of defeat" :"
 with their minds steeped in the worship of might. they had no ink ling of the revolutionary currents among the men. They still imagined that iron discipline was paramount Their fiendish plan was to send out the ships to be sacrificed to the last ship. The news spread like wildfire.
 "'At the last stage of the war, are we all to be killed?' they asked,
 "The officers harangud. caioled, in vain. Three times the order was given. It was a difficult position for men with no backing but their feeling of solidarity. A thousand were i'm prisoned at Wilhelmshaven. The choice between freedom and imprison- mt was not difficult. It was revo- lution. It was the irony of fate that the Pan-Germans, with what was to be their last desperate blow. should them selves have started the conflagration.

RACE PREJUDICE WILL BRING ABOUT
 NEXT GREAT WAR
THIS AT LEAST IS BELIEF EX- PRESSED BY JAPANESE IN IN TERVIEW SAYING coLORED RACES WOULD DEMAND SAME TREATMENT AS WHITES

TOXIC, Nov. 20, Correspondence of the Associated Press.)-Belief that the next war will be the outcome Of race prejudice is expressed by Yukio Ozaki, formerly minister of justice, and leading member of the constitu- tional party. MT. Ozaki said that in his opinion. the cOlored races which steadily were developing their civiliZa- tion would demand finally the same treatment as the white races, and that the result would be an armed colli- sion.
 MT. OZaki recommended that at the peace conference, Japan acting on be- half of all the Asiatic races should introduce the racial and population questions for consideration, and if pos sible, secure a solution.
 In a country like Japan where the population is increasing with alarm ing rapidity, he said it was but natural that the surplus population should try to obtain an outlet even by resOrting to arms. From Japan's standpoint, said MT. OZaki, the racial or populs- l tion questions were more important that President Wilson's Fourteen Points" as laid down for a basis of Germany's surrender. These racial questions, he said, concerned the fu- | ture of millions of souls in Asia.
 MT. Ozah warned the Japanese not to develop the German system of state organization which in the present war had proved to be a mere machine for destroying civilization and for tramp ling under foot the rights of other na. tions and peoples.
 On the question of Japan's occupa' tion of the German South Sea Islands MT. Ozah declared that the United States should dismantle her forts in the Philippines and Hawaii, and that this would be more important for Jap an than the taking over of the South Sea Islands.

SMALL CHANCE FOR REDUCTION
 IN AUTO PRICE
Conditions in Automobile World Accounted by Bow en to Support His Express ed Belief

That there will be no immediate reduction in the price of the establish. ed lines of automobiles, and that the prices will remain at their present level for at least the next six months, is the opinion of J. J. Bowen, manager of the Bisbee Auto company, who has just returned from a bushes strip to Los Angeles, Calif., where he was in conference with the automobile inter- ests of the southwest. Labor condi- tions, market supplies of steel and iron, the costs of living, and similar factors enter into this condition, and will contribute to the present scales of prices.
 Only one exception will be found to this rule, declares Mir. Gowen. Several of the automobile industries of the nation have already announced slight decreases in their sales prices. These reductions have been based on fictitious prices which were made dur ing the war by factories which hoped to dispose of their over-stocked sales rooms during the war. Now these factories are faced with an over-sup- ply, and are forced to bring their prices back to the natural from the fictitious level, to remain in the com petition and business.
 All of the old established compan' ies, declares Br. Bowen, are faced by the same conditions. These conditions briefly are that the price of living has not reduced, the price of labor re mains at its wartime levels, the price of steel and rubber has not been re duced. All of the companies must go
