THE PEACE TERMS

HE PEACE TERMS of the president ought to be accept able to the Boshevik. They ought to be acceptable to the Reichsag They probably will not please the party.
 The president proposes a peace without indemnies and without conquered territory,
 The Germans are to retire from France from Belgium, from Serba Montenegro and Rmana The rights of France in Asace-LOrrane to be asserted.
 Belgium is to be restored and to have independent gov ernment
 There to be self determination by colonies and depen- dent naionaities
 Freedom of the seas removal of economic barriers limitation of armaments, the broader aspect the pro- posals,
 The thoughtful will be pleased with the Presidents nteli- gent and far sighted consideration of the Boshevk He in this latest world revolution high ideals and fair tomorrow. Scientific in spirit and seeped in history he knows that the Russian revolution is not accident knows that the Russian people not moving except under inc necessities of their condition and proposes himself peace that almost to the last word in line with the Russian ideas Before Russia had or muated its peace statements the president had occupied tcal ground
 As to the German party it longer pretend that Germany is to be sinegaed and scattered But the ty is difficult place and obeying the instinct of self pre- sevaon is under tremendous incentive not to make peace
 If the should end and Germany not hold any territory any other advantages of the long struggle cept the general advantages of enduring and limit ed armament the rising tide of socialism will swamp the mill ary party Germany a peace would put down the gov ernment that led the German people fess slaughter deprived them of most of the advantages their ne gence and industrial skill had gained.
 peace is near is because the parliamentary party become stronger than the party

LIBERTY FOR BUSINESS
XXT HEN HE addressed the American Electric Railway w sociaon, recently, President Wilson said:

XXT HEN HE addressed the American Electric Railway As w sociation recently President Wilson said:
 What want for business is the kind of liberty want for the individual"
 The Taxpayers Public Service Magazine which is of the best of the periodicals that agae against municipal and national control of utilities considers this advice but confuses it with the function of rate making.
 seems according to contemporary that liberty public services consists mainly in being permitted to charge more.
 And to be corporation of public service character ought usually to be permitted charge if what under sound management does not pay fair return the value of the property actually used for the public.
 It is to be feared the president got little the heads of of his auditors when he used that phrase about the kind of liberty business individuals liberty of the individual strictly limited by the necessities of all the individuals. The unit must yield to the aggregate
 The bodies of individuals conscripted and their lives sacrificed that the others may live and prosper This is the liberty of the individual
 But the business of the public character does want this kind of liberty It wants have private control to make rae and take profit without much regard for the good of the whole.
 When the president took the railroads he giving the railroad business the kind of liberty that given the soldiers who out to fight The railroads have the liberty of obeying the government for the benefit of the people,
 There this difference however the railroads business for the moment denied its full share of liberty because granted according to normal earnings But grant ed to the soldiers, rule, less scale.
 Most people interpret liberty that thing which enables each to do what he pleaes In much rer liberty is that restraint of the individual by which all individuals abled to be little freer than they would otherwise
 The liberty of business in these times is be used in the service of the country. This is the liberty of the individual

ID RIDGEPORT WILL welcome Crawford Vaughan, the dis

 Mr. Vaughan for the theme of his advice to American wormen the necessity of sustaining production for the period of the war;
 That particular in which the present war; it's civic side differs other wars is the increasing importance working class economies and in the extent to which the leaders and teachers of participating in the govern ments of the world
 The BosheviN entirely working class organization proposals of Lloyd George have been much modified by the demands of the British Labor party In America Presi dent Wilson with distinguished labor leader in his cabinet is more conscious any other national head of the importance of the working class the and to the future The presi voices in his peace proposals the hopes and the aspirations of labor moro completely than any other statesman

WILSON ADDRESS
 TO OFFSET HUNS' NEW PROP PACANDA

Washington, Jan 9-Approval ot President Wilson's address to con gress, setting forth America's pro gram for war and peace, was heard on every side in Washington today and the opinion seemed general that the president had chosen the psychoIogi- cal moment to counteract any evil eff fleets of Germany's latest peace propa- ganda,
 Although some members professed to believe that the Germans might find the terms laid down acceptable as a basis of negotiations, most off cials saw in the definite proposals of ment clearing the atmosphere for the Allies, heartening the Russians and furnishing a light for the German people if they chose to see it. It was authoritively said that the president decided to address congress at this time in an effort to prevent resumption of negotiations between the Russians and the Germans in Brest-Litovsk and counteract the du- plicity of the Germans shown in their dealings with the Russians The president in making his speech as sJmed the Russo German peace nego- tiatfons definitely had been broken off.
 Another reason for the presidents s message was found in the necessity of making some reply to the request of the Bolsheviki that the United States and the Entente join in the peace ne gotiations- Germany made it a con- dition of the negotiations that Rus sia should bring in the Allies. Since the United States and the Allies have not recognized the Bo1sheViki govern ment it was deemed that the United States set forth it's aims in a public announcement which might be given
 circulation in Russia, following the example of Premier I1oyd-George.
 The presidents address has been ca bled and sent by wireless to the pfin-
 cipal world capitals for telegraphic
 distribution.

HOUSING HAMPERS SHIPBUIL AT
 NE:WPORT'S YARD

Washington, Jan. 9.-The question of immediate provision of adequate housing facilities for ship yard work CTS was taken up with various gov ernment officials today by Senator's Fletcher and Harding acting as a subcommittee of the senate commerce committee investigating the activities of the shipping board.
 The subcommittee was named to urge instant relief after Homer L. Ferguson, president and general man. ager of the Newport News Ship Build ing Co. had told the senate tnvesti- gators that poor housing conditions in ship building ports was one of the greatest obstacles to rapid ship con- struction,
 In the course of his testimony MT. Ferguson did not hesitate to cr1ticfse the shipping board and emergency eet corporation and held them to blame largely for the delay in the governments building program. He put Americas probable output for 1918 at 100000 tons and said esti- mates of S,ooo,ooo to s,ooo,ooo tons fre- quently made were misleading to the public.
