Treaty To The Twin

ST. PAUL, Sept. 9.-(By Associat-
ed Press The high cost of livings
President Wilson told the Minnesota
legislature today, is largely due to-
the world situation" growing ont of
the sacrifices and waste of war. Back
of that, he said, lay the fact that the
world had not yet learned what the
peace status would be.
"The world is not going to settle
down until it learns what part the.
United States is to play in peace"
he added.
The president declared this was
the only nation which viii have
enough free capital in the near fu-
ture to rehabilitate the world eco
nomically.
The legislature received the presi-
dent with cheers. On his arrival he
was welcomed by Governor Burn
quist and the mayors of the Twin
Cities.
First of all, the president said, the
nations duty was to. set the COM
merce of the world going by the es-
tablishment of peace; after that there
are domestic adjustments necessary
He mentioned among other things
that the railroad facilities of this
country were not equal to the de-
mands.
He said the laboring men every
where were dissatisfied with their re-
lations to employers. and added that
this was true abroad in larger meas
ure than in the United States.
