PRESIDENT GAVE
A HANDSHAK|NG
Told Crowd at Station War
is Not Over Until U. S.
Assumes Responsibility
NO ADVANTAGE
TO GREAT BRITAIN
trolled by Unanimous Vote-There-
lection by the United States.

ON BOARD PRES. WILSON IS
TRAIN, Sept. II Associated Press y,
When President Wilson s train stopped
for few minutes at Pasco, Wash.
shortly after clock tonight crowd
surrounded the private ear and the
President came out to shake hands and
exchange greetings with them. After
telling several stories he wound up by
making a short speech in which he said
the war was unfinished until the Unit
ed States had assumed responsibility
for its pledges that future wars would
be made impossible. Thanking the
crowd for coming out to see him, he
said that he regarded it as another evi-
denee that the people wanted the peace
| treaty ratified.
| Replying at Spokane yesterday TO oh,
! iections that Great Britain would have
a preponderanee of voting power in the
/ league of nations assembly, President
| Wilson said any possible danger on
! that score was removed by the fact that
decisions must be unanimous.
The league of nations assembly. the
President declared, was ''largely a de
batting body and seldom would act on
important questions and when it die
the United States with its one vot,
would have an ''absolute veto' under
the rule requiring a unanimous vote.
There was only one case in which
the assembly could decide an import
ant question, he said, and that wa:
when such a question was unanimously
Preferred to it by the council. The as
sembly also must act unanimously. h,
added, so that in either council or as
sembly the one vote of the United
States would constitute veto power.
The unanimous rule, added the Pres
ident, seemed to him the only weakness
of the league, but it was a weakness
in the direction of throwing a safe
guard around national sovereignty.
Mr. Wilson also discussed at lengtl
proposed reservations to the treaty an
, asked for its unqualified acceptance.
He asked the Republicans presen
not ''to think of 1920 when thinkin
, of the redemption of the world" ado
ing that he himself did not for ma
ment do so.

RUSSIANS APPEAL TO WILSON.
Say Oppression Threatens Those in Car
paIhians with Extinction.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.-Complain-
ing of persecution of Russians in Galieia
and Bukowina by Poles, Magyars and Aus
trians, committee representing the Car
patho- Russian nationality at Paris has adj
dressed a petition to President Wilson
and congress in which they demand union
of their people with Greater Russia.
Numerous instances are cited of oppres
sion of Russian peasants because of race
and religion by members of the dominant
races. 1t is asserted that these Russians
have suffered persecution for GOO years, as
first one nationality and then another
gained ascendancy over them, and thai
| they are now threatened with extinction
unless permitted by the peace conference
! to unite with their co-nationals on th'
| farther side of the Carpathians.

Cheer Upi

The government has many mil
lions of pounds of meat on its
hands. These supplies were to
have fed the army that is now
being demobilized.
The government has been consid-
ering the advisability of selling this
meat abroad, for fear of causing too
great a slump in meat prices at
home. 1t seems, at first, rather un-
reasonable that the government
should object to lowering the prices
of foodstuffs in this country. 1t
hardly seems consistant with the
function of body appointed to pro-
tect our interests.
On behalf of the trade it is urged
that the meat was sold TO the gov
ernment under contract, and that
the conditions made by the gov
ernment under contract, were Sc
we're. Profits made out of war
deals were cut To the mini
mum BY restrictions applied
early in the war The amount OF
commodity covered by the transac-
ton was enormous. but the profit
meagre. And now, if the bulk of
that commodity is dumped on the
market, the meagre profit. in the re-
suit. will be turned to serious loss.
And disaster to a tremendous in
dustry with innumerable ramitca-
tions is a disaster TO all of us. so
many industries are interlocked
with the meat industry that the
damage done would be spread over
large area.
1t all seems fairly plausible. But
the American meat trade today sup
plies the world. If the meat is sold
abroad. foreign prices will drop. al
though they are maintained here.
So, whatever happens. there will be
a drop somewhere--here or abroad.
And as our meat trade is supplying
the world. there is not much dan
ger of the industry languishing
