LABOR SUPPLY
OF u. S. is AMPLE
FOR ALL NEEDS

Washington, Jan. 11.-"There is
an ample supply of labor, both for
the army and for industry, the prob
lem is one of proper adjustment"
Secretary Wilson said in discussing
plans Of the department of labor for
mobilizing workers. He estimated
that In the first year of the war
the army would take only about
per cent of the country's workers,
less than the number unemployed
under normal conditions.
The secretary will announce likely
an advisory commission to assist him
in handling mobilization problems,
including one representative of the
general public, two of labor, two of
commerce. and industry and one
economist or socioiogist.
Most Of the anxiety In this coun-
try regarding the labor question has
been reflex of Great Britain's pref
erence in the war;" Mr.. Wilson said.

Of British labor issued manifesto
giving whole hearted support to the
program presented In President Will

festo says that in essential re-
spects It is SO similar to that which
the British labor put forward that
we need not discuss any points Of
difference in detail"
The manifesto considers that

utterances Of all allied statesmen

after meeting called to consider
President Wilson's speech. 1t de-
clares:
''The spirit OF the historic docu-
ment Is the spirit to which democra-
cy all over the world can respond.
and, IL 1t reaches the people of the
central powers. we believe 1t will re-
invigorate the popular movement to-
wards peace in those countries now
under the yoke of Prussian militar-
ism and autocracy and give their
demands for peace a weight and au-
thority that cannot be denied.
1.-THE fact Is We may say that peace
negotiations have now begun and
that the world waits for proofs that
the central powers are isncere in
their desire to carry them to con-
clusion that will be acceptable to
the peace of the world"
President Wilson's speech, like all
his utterances since America entered
the war takes the leading place n
both the news and editorial columns
of the London press. One newspaper

newspapers find no disagreement in

It is noted that the President deals
more sympathetically with the Boil

is pointed out that America has not
