NeutraIs Holding Back.
None of the neutrals who plan to
send representatives to the confer
ences on the formation Of a league of
nations have as yet made reserva-
tions. The Scandinavian Kingdoms
are known to be vitality interested in
the solution of the freedom of the
seas problem. The French press is
exercising a remarkable restraint to-
ward the flood of unofficial interpre-
tations appearing in English and
American newspapers, supplemented
by forecasts of controversies on this
subject. The general opinion here
seems to be that the best course is
TO await an explicit statement from
President Wilson before any COM
ment whatsoever is made on his
views, which are thus far unstated.
except in a general way in his Va
rious international utterances.
Wise old political writer's here look
with amusement upon the idea which
some English and American commen-
tators appear to foster, namely that
their adverse comment upon what they
believe are President Wilson's views
and contemplated policies may sue
ceed in 'deterring" hinn-may prompt
him to change his mind. These
French students OF international af
fairs, and of the predominant inter-
national figure, point out that moth
ing could be more foolish and futile
than this idea that a man of VIII
sons caliber would be likely to alter
his views owing to adverse comment,
Nor is there any tendency here to-
ward searching for controversies on
other issues, such as the Jugo-SIay-
Italian situation, or even toward STIR
ring up a discussion on this or other
points before the peace preliminaries
actually begin.
In other words. the policy of the

labor delegate from the United
Kingdom an impossibility.
In France the Socialistic element
dominates labor. and the lengths 10
which that element will go to
achieve its purposes have been
shown by its resort to sabotage
throughout the war.
These elements carried on" dur
ing the war to an extent hardly
dreamed of on this side of the At
lantic, and their reasonable ac-
tivities in, times of crisis have
brought unmerited suspicion upon
all labor groups in France.
What Italy has suffered internally
from anarchy masquerading as ad-
vanced Socialism has been depicted
too frequently and too recently TO
need retelling at this time. The
poison of it's propaganda spread
throughout the peninsula and brought
that collapse of morale which re-
suited in the retreat Of the ltallan
armies from the IsonZo to the PlaVe.
In Italy labor unionism and Social
ism are practically synonymous as
applied to organizations of wage
earners, and the government would
only consent under extreme pressure
to the recognition of either in the
appointment of peace delegates. The
opposition of Great Britain and
France to the naming of labor dele
gates, therefore. has served merely as
an excuse for Italy and enabled her
to avert this pressure.

PEACE SLIGHT
STIRS LABOR
Failure to Name Gompers
AS Delegate Arouses
Resentment.

Organized labor is deeply disappoint-
ed over its failure to obtain recogni-
ton in the peace conference by dele
gates. 1t is commented on here that
organized labor in the United States
co-operated most heartily and effec-
lively with the administration in COM
batting enemy propaganda designed
to promote strikes and labor difficult
ties for the purpose of throwing the
war machine out of gear, and that
Samuel Gompers was the administra-
tion's ablest assistant in arraying in
telligent unionism against the Bolshe-
visits who styled themselves either In
dustrial Workers of the World or In
ternationalists.
There is reason to believe that
President Wilson desired organized
labor. to have representation at the
Peace Conference, and had this been
possible there is hardly any doubt
that he would have named Mr.
Gompers as a delegate. Apparently
the opposition to delegates distinct
ly representative of labor original
ed in Europe and was based on fear
of radicalism. The failure of Pres
ident Wilson to name a labor dele
gate, therefore, may be taken as
prima facie evidence that England,
France and Italy previously had de-
cided against labor representation.
The reasons for such a decision
are not difficult OF determination,
There are radical elements in the
British labor party that are as
troublesome as the I. w. w. These
elements cannot be placated. Rec
ognition of them would simply make
them intolerable. Their demonstrate
ed ability to dominate and control
nominal leaders of labor in England
is what made the appointment of a

Other members Of the Senate show
ed by private conversation on the
subject that they deeply resent the
Presidents failure to select at least
one member of Congress to Join the
peace delegation. The Cummins res
olution, however. failed to find many
supporters for this reason:
Wiser heads in the Senate, after
study of the situation, concluded that
inasmuch as the President has seen
fit to ignore the Senate in making
his selections, it would be highly un-
dignified for the Senate to send a
delegation over to France to gather
up information about the peace dis
cussions. As one Senator aptly eN-
pressed the situation:
I'VE don't think it would be digni-
fed for a committee of Senators to
go around to the kitchen door of the

would be the orderly way of deal
ing with the situation. The fact
that the President has not seen fit
to name a member of the Senate
on the peace Commission leaves the
Senate free to look after its own
interests independently"
There was some talk yesterday
that when the President speaks he
may be interrogated from the floor
of the House, by a member of either

DR.. Charles G. Jordan is coming to

Old Homestead" Dr. Jordan is an
evangelist who knows how to put over
a splendid message, but he comes to
the Chautauqua not so much because
of his achievement as an evangelist
but because of an unusual achieve
ment as farmer. Inheriting a run.
down farm in Pennsylvania, he so re.
juvenated it that last year five thou
sand proud Pennsylvanians made a
pilgrimage to the farm for purposes
of observation and study. Agricul-
turists from all over the State made
the journey and the instructors of
leading agricultural schools were
among those who came to pay honor
to the hustling farmer evangelist. DR..
Jordan will have a practical message
and most interesting one when he
