conference has not yet acquired real
value. The great decisions are still
to be made, the unmistakeable diff
ferences remain to Toe ironed out.
All that has been done is in a very
real sense perfunctory, but the way
in which il has been done is en-
couraging. If the conference has
not yet affirmatively marched in the
right direction there is no mistaking
the fact that it has avoided taking
steps which might involve the sur
render Of principles. If it has so far
been conservative il has at no time
been reactionary and has steadily
shown a recognitism and an appre-
citation of the dangers of any reac-
tonary course. IN my judgment the
great powers as represented at Paris
are nearer together than they were
two months ago, and the dangers Of
any break have become remote.
Yet at last / return TO the point at
which / began Europe wants peace
and hopes for the millennium; it is

NOT CRTTICISTNG BUT
POINTING OUT SITUATION.

l do not desire at this time to seem
to criticise. 1 have been convinced
and remain convinced that the com
ing of the president to Europe was
in itself and by itself a great con-
tribution to the solution of the most
difficult problem, that of making at
least a tolerable peace We shall
have. I am sure, better peace be-
cause Woodrow Wilson came to Eu-
rope than we should have obtained
If he had stayed at home.
His coming unclaimed forces of
uneXpressed and truly inarticuIate
idealism. 1 recall the comment of
a French servant of one of nv
friends. She said after three hours
of waiting and watching for the
president: Now that Mr. Wilson has
come there is hope. isn't there" Po-
liticians are politicians the world
over. The last diplomat will differ
very little from the first. Both
classes are in the end led by neces-
sity or driven by external pressure.

women in many nations which has

UNREST DUE To PEOPLE
EXPECTING TOO MUCH.


EXPECTING TOO MUCH.
So much has been gained and II
will hardly be lost We shall har-
vest very much Of that crop and in
my judgment will remain glad that
the president came. but today the
world, the European world at least,
finds itself beginning TO be anxious
a shade impatient as il sees the hope
of definite results postponed. IL has
too expected much: thought too lit
tie. I repeat that this very postpone
ment is not due 20 irreconciliable
differences Of opinion nor TO quar-
rels over principle or provinces.
Such differences will all be settled
without quarrel, because every one
is determined TO settle them that
way The cause is charged up
against an. apparent lack of a pro-
gram. but really results from the
masses wanting the world rebuilt
over night, and to American CORE
spondents and political propagan-
dists doing all that they can through
anti Wilson gossip to make them
want it.
II is not the differences over ma
tional claims, il is not the demands
Of France in Germany or Of Italy in
Austria which block the way. In
ponderable rather than tangible OBJ
stacles are holding us back and chief
among these is the present status of
the league of nations. England and
France have accepted the presidents
| double determination. First that
there should be a league and second
that it should be created by the
treaty of peace rather postponed to
later conference. But neither
England nor France nor America for
that matter has yet arrived at any
coherent idea Of what Mr.. Wilson's
view of a league of nations is. Has
he a plan. Presumably-but no one
knows. Will he announce it. Per-
haps. but who can say, when? He
seems waiting for all the data. APP
parently he feels that the time is not
yet ripe, or perhaps he is waiting
| for all other plans TO come in, and
CLEAN the best from them all.

Is LETTING POPULAR MIND
DO ITS OWN THINKING.

Thus, in a sense, after the first pc
riod OF action the president disap-
pearal from the public which had
welcomed him. He was lost TO view
and-this is the point-thereafter
nothing has happened of all things
which were most expected and are
most desired. What the president
thought. what he seeks. what his
views are on the main questions re-
mains unknown, not save by few,
but unknown 10 any single individual
in France, at least, insofar as adver-
tised. On some, but by no means all
important questions, his views are
suspected and that is all
Now / do not think any one can
exaggerate the longing of the people
Of the nations who have fought this
war for peace, for return TO the old
comforts and convenienccslo OF life, for
an end not merely to the horrors of
fighting but to the only less real
horrors Of the existing twilight zone
between war and peace. In France,
in Britain. in Italy there are discom-
forts. hardships; there is a measure
OF suffering and millions Of men
still under arms desire TO go home
while in eastern Europe famine ex-
lists and increases day by day.

LIKE NATIONAL
POLITICAL CONVENTIONS.

But all this is the small beer Of
the thing. A peace conference is
like a national convention in our
politics. The convention has a sin
gle function. II must nominate a
ticket; if it fails the election will be
lost. Therefore. without exception
conventions nominate. They fire.
quently begin with every sign OF col
lapse. There are opening days Of
rival booms and conflicting platform
proposals. But at a certain point
harmony comes out OF discord And
il viii be the same in Paris for the
same reason. The delegates to this
convention, will not attempt 10 go
home without a treaty of peace in
their pockets.
Again there is a superficial sense
of disappointment that a conference
designed. at least in the public
mind. 20 bring about an enduring
peace and a new order i'm the world
is engaged endlessly in the discus
sion Of territorial rivalries and trade
jealousies. All these things are here
and unmistakable. but idealism is
not lacking either Beyond all else
there is a clear perception in the
minds Of the Official and even more
in the minds OF the unofficial rep
resentatives of the vSfious nations
that new spirit is stirring in their
own constituencies. Expecting
miracles, many may be disappointed.
but l do not believe there is anAI
reason 10 fear another congress
Berlin. much less another congu
OF Vienna. ~

CONDITION BREEDING
POPULAR UNREST.

The conditions of ordinary life pass
description even in western Europe
One pays enormously for little, not
merely the foreigner, but also the
native; food is dear. scarce, unsatis-
factory, and railway transportation is
sum order and organization have as
a consequence Of the war gone out
Of life. The grimmest and the most
intimate personal problems press up
on all people and as the pressure
grows their interest even in a thing
as important as the peace confer
ence diminishes.
The reaction from these condi-
tions is the ever growing demand
that there shall be decision, not de-
bate. in the peace conference. The
world is beginning to demand some
peace, any peace rather than a per
petuation OF the present condition
and in this situation the president
whose word would be Of compelling
force says nothing, has said nothing.
If he has plan as IL is necessary TO
believe even in the matter OF the
league OF nations the plan remains
unknown. He seems waiting for it
TO evolve. His speech Saturday in
trOduced the subject continued the
diplomatic game OF awaiting evolu-
ton.

HOW THIS STATE IS HANDLING ITS
 HOUSE PROBLEM

Many inquiries have been received ar this office as to what Connecticut manufacturers are doing with refer ence to the general shortage of houses for industrial workers To meet the demand for information on this subject, organizations of manu- facturers and other business men were asked to state how their respec- tive groups or communities are deal ing with this problem.
 It will be noted that the report refers only to housing programs under community auspices or a group of manufacturers and other interest," ed citizens acting together. No at tempt has been made to include the housing projects undertaken by indi- vidual industrial establishments, of which, as is well known, there are many examples throughout the state
 Through the courtesy and co-op- eration of the various organizations dealing with this problem in the cities mentioned, this office was able to obtain the information contained in the following summary, and is further authorized to invite inquiries from any members desiring more detailed information:
 BRIDGEPORT-The character and extent of Bridgeport's achievements in industrial housing are so well known, both in the state and nation ally, that no further comment is needed here. Beginning in 1916, Bridgeport organized the Bridgeport Housing Company, with capital of S1,000,000 and launched four ex- tenstve projects. When the United States Housing Corporation began it's work in Bridgeport it made the Bridgeport Corporation it's agent-iu the construction and operation of five more large projects. The Bridgeport housing developments under these two agencies are regarded as represent ing the very best achievements in this field in the United States These properties are almost exclusively on rental basis. The United States Housing Corporation is now arrang- ing to sell the properties it devel- oped and it is understood some of them may be taken over by local in terests in such a manner as to pre- vent speculation, or exploitation of tenant
 HARTFORD - The acute housing shortage in Hartford has been some what relieved by the large amount of commercial building carried on this year. The question of a com munity housing program is under consideration by both the city au- thorities and the Chamber of Com merce.
 NEW HAVEN-The extent of the commercial and speculation building now going on is reported as making it unnecessary for the manufactur- ing and business interests to under take any community housing pro gram

BRAZIL WISHES
 ID BROADEN ITS
 INDUSTRY FIELD

Rio De Janeiro, Oct. s (By the As sociated Press. .)-A plan for develop ing BraziI's agricultural, pastoral and mineral resources has been proposed q to the Chamber of Deputies by pr. Cincinato Brago, deputy from the State of Sac Paulo. Pointing out BraziTs need for an iron and steel in dustry, he said that the state of Min as Geraes alone contains more than 2,5Q0,000,000 tons of mineral which contains from GO to 70 per cent pure ore.
 The deputy proposes that Brazil at once take steps to develop it's own iron and steel industry, thereby af- fecting an economy of at least 30 per cent. and in addition greatly augmenting the. resources of the country. To esta blish this industry, it is estimated, it will be necessary for the federal government to expend the equivalent of $43,75O.0OO in a period of seven years, at the rate of $6.25O,0 900 annually
 The plants, it is prop Osed, are to be operated by electricity generated d by water power, and the initial ap- prOpriatiOn suggested in the presen { Brazilian budget is intended for use in surveys and initial installation of hydro-electrtc plants.
 The deputy recommended the es- ta abHshment in each state of the union four schools of practical in struction and training, under for etgn teachers, in mechanical and el- ectrical engineering, industrial chem istry, agriculture and veterinary sci ence.
 Liberal appropriations are recom- mended to assist cattle breeders in purchasing suitable foreign breed stock
