"Our army of loyal civilians has

PRES. WILSON
INTERVIEWED
TELLS IDEAS
ON WARS END

London, Dec. 21.-The London
Times publishes today an exclusive
interview with President Wilson ca
bled by it's special correspondent in
Paris:
Asked what, in his mind, was the
great purpose of the conference and
the great goal toward which the
delegates would strive, the president
said:
81 think the plain man in the
street can answer that as well as l
can. The plain people of all nations
are now looking with anxious expec-
tation toward Versailles and l am
sure they are asking themselves this
one question:
"'Will there be found enough of
wisdom and purpose among the
statesmen there assembled to create
safeguard against future wars?' "
The first question asked by the
interviewer was why the president
had come to Europe. To this Mr..
Wilson replied:
at is obvious that the forthcom-
ing conference is of such over
whelming importance that the Unit
ed States cannot refuse to share with
the Allies the great responsibility for
civilization.
"It is only by the frankest per-
sonal consultation with the states
men of the Allied countries that l
can in some measure assist in the So
luton of these problems.
"I hope" continued the president,
s:to confer in the near future, not
only with the Allied statesmen as
sembled in France, but also to visit
the Allied countries and learn by per-
sonal contact as much as l can learn
of the general sentiments with re-
gard to the chief problems.
"I am anxious to go to England
because l have reason to know with
what unanimitv and with what pas
sion the conviction of the people OF
Great Britain and America have en-
tertained the same conception OF
liberty and justice.
at is essential to the future peace
of the world that there should be
the frankest sopsible cooperation and
the most generous understanding be-
tween the two English-speaking de-
mocracies."
The president is further quoted as
saying:
eve comprehend and appreciate, l
believe, the great problem which the
war has brought to the British peo-
ple, and we fully understand the spe-
cial international questions which
arise from the fact of your peculiar
position as an island empire"
The president, the interviewer adds,
discussed the freedom of the seas IN
a solid tone of sincerity, and in the
freest manner.
President Wilson, according to the
Times correspondent. is convinced
that nothing can possibly prevent the
approaching conference from produc-
ing what the world wants:
Really solid guarantees of peace
in the future.
