GEORGE WASHINGTON, Dec. 9 (By
Wireless to The Associated Press).-
President Wilson probably will not sit
at the peace table but will be repre-
sented there by delegates, while re-
naming in close contact with the
heads of the other nations and pre-
pared to decide questions referred to
him.
Premier Clemenceau, it is believed.
will be president of the peace con-
ference. This is considered fitting
because the conference will be held in
France.
President Wilson's disposition is in
favor of entirely public proceedings.
such as are carried o.. in the Senate
Chamber at Washington, with the
press representatives given every ia
cllity to report certain business.
Naturally, there will be need of Sc
crecy, as there is in the Foreign Rela-
tlons Committee, but the Presidents
idea Is that the procedure could be
much the same as at Washington, a
committee considering the confidential
ana delicate features of various ques-
TONS and then reporting back to the
peace congress for action.
Late yesterday President Wilson
Unexpectedly attended a song-fest in

II have never seen or dreamed of

rage over conditions in Berlin.

Pope
Backs Wilson
On IA Points
Mgr. Fay Quotes Pontiff as
Being in Favor of a
l. a gue of Nations

Monslgnor Fay, domestic prelate to
the Pope, made public yesterday for
the hrst time the personal views of the
Pope regarding President Wilson's
fourteen points" and league of ma
tons when he declared at Carnegie
Hall that the Pontiff is in absolute
accord with the President.
The prelate spoke under the auspices
OF the League for Political Education.
His topic was "The Pope in Relation
to Permanent Peace"
He explained that although he spoke
as member of the pontifical family,
the sentiments he expressed must not
be attributed to the Pope except
rwhen he quoted him directly
Benedict Praises Wilson
The message which Monsignor Fay
brought directly from the Pope was:
"Your President is the great person
ality brought out by the war. He is
the great man among the Allies"
He added that the Pope had said to
him that President Wilson was right
in not accepting former peace negotia-
tions.
Speaking in favor of league of
nations, the prelate said: "The great
est war in history is now thing of
the past and the nations can prepare
for the future. There are two alterna-
tives. One is to revert to the old sys-
tenn. The other is league of nations
to protect each other from unwar-
ranted aggression.
"If league of nations be approved
by the Pope and guaranteed by the
Catholics the maintenance of it will be
a matter of religion for u.s."
The preate referred to what he
termed "a lot Of arrant nonsense talked
about the o-Germanism of the Pope"
and branded such statements as false
He declared th-t the Pope was not neu-
tral during the war and quoted him as
saying: 81 am not neutral. No one
can be neutral where morality is in
volved, but | have tried to be i'm
partial"
Protested at Atrocities
Monsignor Fay declared that the
Pope was powerless to intervene in
the invasion of Belgium, but that he
had protested agaIns: and condemned
every atrocity and outrage "by whom
soever committed" He added that in
his opinion the Pope has done more
than any other one man to alleviate
suffering during the war
He asserted that the Pope, as head
of the Catholic Church. should have
voice in guaranteeing permanent
peace. He said the Pope has three
points in mind. First, the league OF
nations; second, the disarmament OF
nations to such point that no one
would dare to start war; and, third, q
court of international appeals with
coercive powers.
The prelate also declared that interna-
tionalization of the seas is essential anc
explained that he meant that the
navies be reduced the same as the
armies and that the seas be protected
by all and not by one nation.
In conclusion he said: 1--WE want &
peace guaranteed by moral order, which
for us is the Holy Father"
Shortly afterward when it was an.
nounced that Monsignor Fay would an.
swer questions woman asked as the
Pope candidate for the presidency
Of the league of nations"?
To this the prelate replied that HI
could not say what the Pope would dC
were such an appointment pressed upor
him.

Frown Upon
Party Plans
Compers Leads Move to
Keep Organized Workers
rom Political Arena

Forty of the most prominent labor
officials of America met in informal
conference yesterday afternoon in the
Hotel Continental and agreed to with
hold support from the announced plan
to form an independent political party
Of labor.
The plan was sponsored by the
Central Federated Union of greater
New York, and calls have gone out for
a conference in January to launch the
project.
Yesterdays meeting was the most
important gathering of labor officials
that New York has seen in some time.
1t was presided over by Samuel Comp
ers, president Of the American Fedora
tion of Labor, and was attended by
several members of the executive
council Of the federation and by dele
cations representing the Central Fed
Grated Union, the Central Labor Union
of Brooklyn, and the Women's Trade
Union League.

MIR. Gompers delive7nvs--the pr'nci-
pal address. He summed up the argu-
ments for and against forming po-
ltical party, asserting that labor.
when in politics, becomes a vote-get-
ting machine rather than a labor or
ganization. He said that American
y hoH
thrice the gains of labor in Great
Britain, which has it's Labor party. He
did not deny, he said, that the Ameri-
can Fcde ration of Labor mixed in
politics occasionally, but asserted that
it remained an economic organization
nevertheless. His final point was that
even such political organizations as
the Socialist party had to propose an
economic weapon, the general strike,
when they wished to achieve results
such as trying to free Tom Mooney
from jail in California.
Call for Meeting Stands
Ernest Bohm, secretary of the Cen
tral Federated Union, said after the
meeting to representative of The
Tribune that the call for the confer
ence in Yorkville Casino on January II
and II had gone out and would not
be revoked, for the present at least
"That is a matter for the Central
Federated Union" he said. "Mr Com
pers has stated the case clearly, but
it is nevertheless a local affair, and is
up to the local central bodies The
reconstruction committee of the Cen
tral Federated Union, which brought
in the draft of the labor party plan,
was present at to-day's conference,
and if it deems it wise, may bring in
supplementary report at Friday
meeting of the central body. Word
was sent out to-day to every labor
organization in Greater New York,
asking them to send two delegates to
the conference.
The conference presided over by
President Gompers was a meeting of
two committees of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, the committee on
reconstruction and the committee or
social insurance. Both held executive
sessions later in the day and will make
