towards which the delegates to the

replied: Tho plain people Of all ma
tions are now iookinG with anxious

sure they are asking themselves this
one question: Will there be found
enough wisdom among the statesman
there assembled to create safeguards
against future wars?'"

President Wilson in an interview, re-
ferring to the approaching peace con-
ference.
The interview was given to the cor
respondent Of the London Times. In
