MESSENGER Of
y',l|'E C: A1lPEA'E
These Are the Words of
Mayor Gonde of Brest
in Welcome
TO PRESIDENT WILSON

Brest, Dec. 14.-Mayor Goude, Of
Brest, in greeting President Wilson
as he landed here yesterday said:
"Mr. President, I feel the deepest
emotion in presenting to you the
welcome of the Breton population.
The ship bringing you to this port
is the symbol under the auspices OF
which the legions of your pacific cit
iZens sprang to arms in the grand
cause of independence. Under the
same auspices today you bring to the
tormented soil of Europe the COM
fort of your authorized voice in the
debates which will calm our quar-
rels.
"Mr. President, upon this Breton
soil our hearts are unanimous in
saluting you as the messenger Of
justice and peace. Tomorrow it
will be our entire nation which will
thrill with enthusiasm over the emil
nent statesmen who is the champion
of their aspirations toward justice
and liberty.
This old Breton city has the hon.
or of first saluting you. In order to
perpetuate this honor to our de-
scendants, the municipal council has
asked me to present you with an ad-
dress expressing their joy at being
privileged to incline themselves be-
fore the illustrious democrat who
presides over the destinies of the
great republic of the United States. "
The Mayor then presented the en-
crossed address of the council,
which said in part
Being the first to welcome the
President of the United States to
France, we respectfully salute the
eminent statesman who so nobly
personifies the ideals of liberty and
the rights of man. In order TO per-
petuate this event through ages, we
direct that these proceedings be de-
posted in the city archives. Long
live President Wilson. Long live
the Champion and Apostle of Inter-
national Justice!'
The President delivered a brief
address after landing at Brest,
thanking Mayor Goude for the Bre-
ton welcome given him. He then
drove through the cheering crowds,
the frantic ovation continuing until
hereached therailway station.
A singular feature of the welcome
to the President was the supposed
interest of the German pri oners at
Brest. 1t was evident their interest
in the visitor was as keen as that Of
the huge crowd thronging the town,
but the authorities kept these Ger
mans in the background.
Among those who lined the roads
to the station. were delegations of
patriotic societies and other organi-
cations and throngs of people from
the neighboring localities attired in
gala Breton costumes.
The first to greet the President,
besides the French ministerial rep
resentatives were Andre Tardieu,
French High Commissioner to the
United States, the Mayor of Brest,
Ambassador Sharp, Colonel House,
General Pershing and General Bliss.

THE LEAGUE
0F.NA7|ONS
President Stands by His Prin-
ciples Feeling That Vexing
Questions Must
BE SETTLED DEFINITELY

Brest, France, Dec. 14.-On the
question of the League of Nations
there will be discussion, it is said,
whether the league shall be provid-
ed for in the treaties of peace or
later. 1t is known to be President
Wilson's position that the peace
treaties should embody agreements
to create League of Nations. 1t is
also known to be his conviction that
there is strong necessity for estab-
fishing, upon very clear definition,
freedom of the seas.
The much discussed point two in
President Wilson's fourteen essen
tial points of peace, on which Great
Britain has reserved decision, is said
to be not intended to specify un-
qualified freedom of the seas out
side territorial waters but only to
stipulate that no single nation shall
restrict freedom and that when free
| dom is restricted it shall be only by
a concrete power enforcing interna-
tional covenants. 1t is expected that
the President will approach what
may be differences in opinion rath-
er than of principle and that he will
rely upon open-minded conferences
and proceedings which will not in
volve unnecessary antagonism. 1t
is said to be his attitude that neither
the United States nor the other gov
ernments should assume the role of
master, and that he believes he is
supported by public opinion general
ly as to the agreement to be sought
for between peoples rather than gov
ernments as essentials to a people 8
war.
The reduction of armaments pro-
posed in President Wilson's four
teen points specified reductions not
below domestic safety and states
men seem to be agreed that no re-
duction of domestic armaments with
out international safety is expected.
The attitude of President Wilson
with regard to indemnity is general
ly believed to be that the necessity
for the payment of a great sum will
be justified only if based on most
careful and judicial consideration.
The President is said to agree full
ly with the entente powers as to the
great wrongs of military powers, but
to feel most strongly that the ways
of righting them must be consistent
with the objects of the war. 1t is
asserted that he thinks the right
procedure would be first a careful
determination of just claims and de-
mands for reparation for damage
and then the determination of the
method of payment and the pos.ibil-
| ity of obtaining payment. The de-
cisions reported to have been reach
ed on these vital subjects by the en-
tente are believed OH board the
George Washington to be tentative.
In determining the question of
freedom of the seas it is thought
/ that radical revision of maritime
practices probably will arise.

Nearly every Senator who assail-
ed the plan expressed the belief that
it was but forerunner OF an at
tempt to install Government owner
ship.
-~~----~~z-~sssnrs-
Senator Ellison D. Smith Of South
Carolina, Chairman of the Inter
state Commerce Committee, an
nounced that the committee would
confer on Thursday in an effort to
decide on some policy. The commit
tee is almost unanimously opposed
to Mr.. McAdoo's proposal. Most OF
the Senators favor adhering to the
existing law, which allows twenty
one months after the end of the war
for the return of the railroads to
their owners.
Some Senators said that if any
legislation became necessary looking
to a further extension of Govern
ment control it ought to be taken UP
at an extra session and not crowded
, into this session, which has the war
revenue bill before it. The point
was raised that If Congress hurried
! itself into passing legislation to put
the railroads under Government con-
tfol for five more years, the next
Congress might upset it and throw
the roads back to the status that
now exists.
No disposition to force Govern
ment ownership upon the roads was
discernable among those Senators
who discussed the problem. They
prefer to allow the roads to revert
to their owners. If the roads are to
be returned to their owners, it was
pointed out, some character of leg
islation will be needed by Congress,
owing tothe status of the roads
since the Government took control.
Senator Smith suggested that Con
gress ought to turn itself to this
phase of the matter, so that ample
justice be done in the scrambling of
the roads.
