On arriving at the hall at IL 80
clock the President received an
ovation. The audience sang
|"Dixie'' and then burst forth a
cheer that rang through the hall.
The Presidents remarks were
interrupted from time to time
with applause. Every seat in the
hall was filled and many persons
were compelled to stand, lining
the walls.
Stepping off his special train,
the President was met by a recep-
ton committee composed Of Off
cials and leading citizens, with a
guard of honor composed of one
battalion of picked national guard
troops, mank of whom ~wore over

the pre-war level of prices over
night says Homer Hoyt, former
ly of the Price Section of the War
Trade Board in the Nations Bus
mess for September.
"qf Congress starts to fix pri-
ces, it must fix thousands Of pri-
ces. If it fixes retail prices, it
must fix wholesale prices or else
the retailer will be forced out of
business. If it fixes wholesale
prices, it must fix costs, for the
Supreme Court will not issue a
writ of mandamus to compel
manufacturer to produce at a
loss.- If it fixes costs at a lower
level, it must inevitably fix wages
at a lower level. for wages are tho
ultimate basis of cost. Wages are
the chief element in the expense
of putting raw materials on the
market, and wages are the chief
factor in fabricating these raw
materials into finished products.
Thus the end of the gigantic price
fixing undertaking would be a
lowering of wages. Lower prices
boneht bv lower wages would be
a fruitless trade"

No Greater Than
Germany Can Pay.
Mr.. Wilson began by saying
that he had "chafed at the con-
finement of Washington" and was
glad to get out to make his report
to the people.
In the first place, the President
said, the treaty undertook to pun
ish Germany, but that there was
no thought to overwhelmingly
crush any great people.
Restraint" had been exercised,
he said, and there was provision
for making the reparation no
greater than Germany could pay.
Mr.. Wilson said he had been

about the treaty and was con-
vinced many Of them were made
by men who had not read it Or
else had failed to comprehend its
meaning.

President declared, was formed III

United States was fighting this
war. to "end business of that
sort" forever. Not to establish

Labor Will Outride Treaty.
Praising the treaty provision
providing for an international
labor organization, which will
hold it's first meeting in Washing

''Let me tell you it will meet

then or not.''

Glad to Fight for Little Nations.

league, President Wilson de-
clared, "we have neglected the
central covenant we promised our
people. The League of Nations
is the only thing that can prevent
the recurrence of this catas-
trophe. F"
: Besides this, the President con-
tinued, the treaty clears away
the chains of oppression and gives
small nationalities the right to
live their own lives.
"That." he said, "was the
American position and l was glad
to fight for it. !"
Italy, the President continued,
had presented to the conference a
contrary proposal in her request
fir Fiume.
Though there were only scat
tered Italian settlements there, he
declared. Italy wanted Fiume
for strategic and military pur-
poses. If there were a League of
Nations, he asserted. Italy would
not need that foothold.

AN AMERICAN GOVERNOR.

Governor John j. Cornwell of
West Virginia is the architect of
his own fortunes, self-made man,
as the saying is, who began life
with no capital and no opportun
tiles but those he contrived by his
own wits, his industry and op-
timism. He worked his way up
from the ranks Of labor to COM
parative wealth and to the head
Of the State in which he was born
fifty-two years ago. He is the
President of a country bank; Pres
ident, too, Of the South Branch
Tie and Lumber Company, a local
enterprise; and he is interested in
farming and orcharding. Also,
he is owner of a country news
paper. One of his achievements
was the building of railroad
forty miles long, the Hampshire
Southern, to serve a remote dis
trict and develop it. His has
been the career of a man who
made two blades of grass grow in
place Of one, in the figurative
sense. While he prospered him
self the community benefited
through his energy and persist
ence. His advancement was grad
ual but sure. He commanded sue

will go out of the ocean carrying

should insist that the Government

ANTI-BRITIsH.

The attempt of John Bull to hog
everything in sight at the Peace
Conference. to the detriment of
every other nation, has aroused
much indignation in this country,
and our Congressman and Senators
have begun to question the dom
ineering and bulldozing tactics of
the nation that was fighting with
its back to the WALL when we
came in the war. This past week
Senator Sherman, of Illinois, in
troduced resolution protesting
against the British censorship of
American mails. and charged that II
was done in behalf of British mer-
chants to injure American com
petitors. Senator Borah. of Idaho
threw another bombshell into John
Bulls camp by introducing a reso-
tuition requesting a hearing for Ire
land at the Peace Conference. De-
spite the efforts of the pro-English
press ON this side. the American
public as a whole is fast discover
ing the hypocrisy and hoggishness
of the English nation.

One of the duties before Congress
ii to regulate the tariff on imports
iii such a manner that the debtor
nations will not be able to food our
markets with cheap goods to the
detriment of our manufacturers and
wage earners. Congress would be
making serious mistake If it
imagined that the war has left the
great commercial nations of Europe
in a position which puts the hope
of competition with us out of the
question for years to come. As a
matter of fact England is even now
reaching out to grab the worlds

connection with thirty firms or
agencies in Germany to distribute
her manufactures and such raw ma
terials as she can supply to her
beaten foes, and her agents are all
over the South American continent

notice, and England is ready to de-
liver the goods. Congress should
see that the reconstruction of our
industries is freed from the menace
of a falling market and a difficulty
In obtaining orders. This can be
done only by making it Improbable
for foreign competitors TO carry the

markets. Care, however, must be
taken not to prejudice those peo-

AMERICAN AID IGNORED.


Field Marshal Haig's official re-
port of the war from the British
point of view gives little credit to
the American armies for the final
victory. He completely ignores the
part the American troops had in
bringing about the defeat of the ar
mics of the Central Powers. The
only mention he makes of the Amer
leans throughout the whole report
Is his statement that they occupied
Eoblenz after the signing of the ar
mistice. Marshal Haig finds the
cause of the final collapse of the
German forces in the campaigns of
1916 and 1917. 1.-The effect of the
battles of 1916 and 1917 was not
confined to loss of German man
power. The morale effects of those
battles was enormous, both in the
German armies and in Germany. BY
their means our soldiers established
over the German soldiers a moral
superiority which they had held in
an ever increasing degree until the
end OF the war even in the difficult
days of March and April. 1918"
1t was in the difficult days of
March, 1918, that Marshal Haig de-
clared to his troops after the disap-
pearance of Coughs army in the
first German drive that they were
"fighting with their backs to the
wall" There was no thought then
OF the breaking of German morale.
That did not come until American
forces had shown at Chateau Their
ry and Belleau Woods the spirit of
the new force opposing Germany.
Marshal Haig might. in gratitude
for American aid, have acknowl-
edged the part we took in winning
the war 1t is bootless to argue
over which nation deserves credit
for the victory. All contributed to
the final result and the aid Of each
was necessary. But it is not too
much to say that were it not for
the timely assistance of the Ameri-
can forces. with their dash and
fighting spirit which put new life
INTO the Allies, the war would not
have been won last November The
chances are that It would be going
on yet, if the British and French
had still the spirit to resist. It is
not unlikely, too, that were it not for
American assistance they would now
be in more desperate situation
than they were year ago. We do
not think that America should have
the whole credit for winning the
war BUT we do think that we
should be given credit for what we
did. As the True Voice justly says,
to ignore us completely is black in
gratitude on the part Of those we
aided.

Der of the Board Of Education, him

to the Daily News that the Protes-
tant churches of Hungary are being

another illustration of the strange

the excuse offered for radical per-
secution of the churches 1t is
claimed they are the tools of auto
cratic power and in "capitalistic"
countries the allies of plutocracy.
The spirit and tendency of the
revolutionary movement thus illus
trated are not aids of human prog
ress. Tyranny is not the less tyranny
for being called by another name.
Behind the idealistic phrases of So

seems to be the old reality, old as

is evidently headed toward a form
of oppression more pervasive and
searching than any individualistic
society could maintain very long.
His ideal is not liberty, but an arti-
fetal equality of condition main

respect for the variety of nature. It
is a crude and gripping conception
of life which would turn society in

the whole democratic movement
and enslave the individual as it
would like to do. it win set back
the clock of human progress. but in
