Wilson Meets British
Labor Leaders and
Receives Address

London Dec. 28.-President Will
son went to the American embassy
today and received the delegations
of number of societies and leagues,
some of which presented memorials
and resolutions welcoming him to
London. He arrived at the embassy
in one of the semi-state carriages
from Buckingham palace. A crowd
had gathered in front of the EN-
bassy, while the windows and bal
comics of the block in which the EN-
bassy stands were all occupied by
American naval and military officers
and soldiers and sailors.
Among the last of the delega-
tons received was that of the Brit
ish labor party, Arthur Henderson
and Charles William Bowerman, rep
resenting the joint committee of
the labor party executives and the
parliamentary committee of the
Trades Union congress. They pre-
sented an address on behalf of the
British labor movement.
President Wilson, in accepting the
address, expressed his doubts as
to whether he merited the kind
things said about him. He added
that he would do all in his power
to carry out the ideals set forth in
the address.

WILSON'S PUBLIC
APPEARANCES IN
LONDON At END
last Day Of Visit Taken Up
With Functions and En-.
tertainments; Leaves
for Carlisle.

London, Dec. 28.-President VIII
son made his last public appearance
in London today. Officials of the
city Of London presented him with
an address of welcome in the ancient
Guild hall, where other famous
Americans, including General Grant
and former President Roosevelt,
have been received. Afterward he
was the guest at a luncheon in the
Egyptian hall of Mansion house,
where hover the ghosts of decades
OF civic oratory and where many
Americans have partaken of the
famed aldermanic turtle soup.
Enthusiasm Abates.
The drive from Buckingham palace

enthusiasm arboad, but it hardly

which attended the presidents entry
into London on Thursday. An
nouncement of the results of the,
general election was somewhat of a

Beneath the surface of the for
malities at the Mansion house an
unusual episode of human interest
was ripping - part happy, part
tragic. Premier Lloyd George, who
sat near the president. was learning
that the voters had renewed his
lease of power by heavier MAORI
ties than political auguries had fore
told. H. H. Asquith, his one-time
chief and rival of today, was seated
nearby and heard that his political
career of more than so years had
been halted. .
The days official events were not
limited to the two functions in the
city. The president met and spoke
to various delegations which presen-
ted addresses at the American EN-
bassy and tonight he dined at the

LAID FOR LEAGUE
Says WILSON

up against another, but a single
overwhelming. powerful group of ma
tons who shall be the. trustee of the
peace of the world.
1T has been delightful in my con-
fercnces with the leaders of your
government to find how Our minds
moved along exactly the same line
and how our thought was always
that the key to the peace was the
guarantee of the peace, not the items
of it; that the items would be worth
less unless there stood back of them
a permanent concert of power for
their maintenance. That is the most
rcassuring thing that has ever hap
pened III the world.
when this war began, the though
of a league of nations was indu!g-
entity considered as the interesting
thought of closeted students. 1t was
thought of as one of those things
that it was right to characterize by a
name which, as a university man, |
have always resented. 1t was said
to be academic, as if that in itself
we're a OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
that men could think about but
never get. Now we find the prac-
teal, leading minds of the world de-
termined to get it.
United In Purpose.
mo such sudden and potent union
of purpose has ever been witnessed
in the world before. Do you WON
der, therefore, gentlemen, that in
common with those who represent
you I am eager to get at the BUSH
lcss and write the sentences? And
that I am particularly happy that
the ground is cleared and the foun-
dations laid-for we have already &C.
cepted the same body OF principles.
Those principles are clearly and def
initely enough stated to make their
application. a matter which should
afford fundamental difficulty.
"And back of US is that impera-
tive yearning Of the world to have
all disturbing questions quoted, to
have all threats against peace ST.
fenced, to have just men everywhere
come together for common object.
The peoples of the world want
peace and they want it now, no:
merely by conquest of arms, but by
agreement Of mind.
ut was this incomparably great
object that brought me overseas.
It has never before been deemed
excusable for a president Of the
United States to leave the territory
of the United States, but | know I
have the support of the judgment
Of my colleagues in the govern
ment of the United States saying
that it was my paramount duty to

tive, tasks at home, to- lend such

an extended conference today with

the future of the domestic potash

out what the country can do in its
production on a peace basis. We
reviewed the laws on the subject for
the purpose of finding out the best

the subject of consideration at the

to its provision. Judge Kinkaid said:

preservation. They do not want to

Manning wants to accomplish, that
