Much Dissatisfaction.

PARIS, April 10.-(By the Associated
Press.)-The plena1 y session Of the
peace conference tomorrow. for the con-
sideration Of the labor report. is awaited
with much interest, because of the dis
satisfaction existing among the smaller
nations. Indications are that there may
be interpretations concerning the secrecy
with which the big four Is surrounding
itself, and rumors that negotiations may
open with the Germans without fully
advising all the peace delegates OF the
terms Of the treaty. Without excep-
ton the smaller nations are said to be
displeased at being kept in the dark.
The labor report is to be presented
for open discussion and consequently
there will be opportunity for general de-
bate unless steps arc taken to pre-
vent it.
The council Of four Is strongly op-
posed to official publication Of the peace
treaty before It's. so5mtssion to the. Ger
mans It naintains that It Is allowing
positive pecisions to be announced. ana
that consequently the public will be al
vised on all the main points before the
treaty is signed.
This piecemeal and incomplete publ
cation is unsatisfactory to many of the
delegates. who are urging that the
people Of the allied countries should
have the text of the peace treaty from
their officials before the Germans an
nounce it, with their interpretations.

Several news factors have recently
entered into tho consIoeratlon Of this
subject here. Ono is the departure OF
the military committee of the now con-

that the committee. which is chiefly in

Another phase Is the conclusion that
the usual methods Of extending apPro-

which might require the early return

according TO the view Of those in the
confidence OF the president his phys
ical presence in Washington is not es-
sential TO the meeting OF congress or
until the end Of juno. when the appro-

nature. 1t is conlcndcd that the call
for an extra session CIV DO issued hero
and the work Of the new congress can
proceed without the presidents attend

1t Is pointed out that no president
had personally appeared before congress
until President Wilson created the new
departure. and it is held that he coula
revert to the custom or his prcdcces-
sors in issuing calls and transmitting
messages without his personal presence.
The final decision depends largely on
the progress Of the peace conference.
as the situations at Washington and
Paris nro SO linked together that they
