TEXT OF WILSON'S
ADDRESS ON LEAGUE

PARIS, Jan. 25.--When the second ses-
sion of the full Peace Conference met
this afternoon il was addressed by
President Wilson on the subject OF a
league Of nations. The President
spoke as follows:
"ur. Chairman: consider il a dis
tinEuishcd privilege To lie permitted to
open the discussion in this Conference
on the league OF nations. We have as
semblcd for two purposes. to make the
present settlements which have been
rendered necessary by~this war and
also to secure the peace OF the world.
not only by the present settlements but
by the arrangements We shall make at
this Conference for it's maintenance
The league OF nations seems to me
to be necessary for both Of these pur-
poses There are many complicated
questions connected with the present
settlements which perhaps canno, be
successfully worked out TO an ultimate
issue by the decisions we shall arrive at
| here. | can easily conceive that many
OF these settlements will need subsequent
consideration. that many of the decisions
we make shall need subsequent a'ters-
ton in some degree, for II ! may judge by
my own study of some of those questions
| they are not susceptible for confident
| Judgments at present
| at Is therefore necessary that we
should set up some machinery by which
the work OF this conference should Ice
rendered complete.

The reaction against the Wilson poll

from the desire of all Europe TO have

Is Land Property?

The Japanese are asking for equal
rights with other aliens when they re-
side in foreign countries.
Those that object will please signify
i'm the usual manner.
The vital question is whether Japa-
nese should be allowed to purchase
land in the United States.
Well, no other alien should be al
lowed to purchase land, should they?
And as they must not purchase land,
why should they be allowed to pur-
chase any other form of property if
land is property, the same as IA horse
or suit of clothes? There is never
an objection raised to the rental of Il
house or farm by Japanese, and if we
made all our land the property of all
American citizens there would be no
Japanese question at all. The Single
Tax solves the Whole problem.
