among those who have brought me this paper, because on the other side of the water we have greatly admired the motives and subscribed to the principles which actuated the govern ment of Great Britain in obeying that moral dictate.
 You have shown what we must organize, namely. that same force and sense of obligation; and unless we organize 1t the thing that we do now will not stand.
 "I feel that so strongly that it is particularly cheering to know just how strong and imperative the idea has become. I thank you very much, indeed It has been privilege to see you personally.

 CABINET CAN NO LONGER DOMINATE:
Government Officials Deny Crisis Urge Giving Reins
 to Central Council.
lLIEBKNECHT MAY
 AGAIN GET POWER
Independent Socialist De. clare Position of Cabinet
 is Critical Now.

Berlin, Friday, Dec. 27-(By the Associated Press) - While the gov government continues to deny the ex- istence of a crisis, developments ap- pear to be rapidly approaching the point where the Ebert -Haase cabinet no longer will be able to assert It's authority. The Berlin newspapers reflect the apprehension pervadlng all circles. The Vossische Zeitung, for instance, says that the six men who sign for the government are no longer the government and 1t calls upon the newly created central coun- ell of soldiers and workers to assume the responsibility.
 The Tagehlatt declares it would be fatal to pin hopes to the national as sembly as a constituent body or as one which would repair the damage TOW threatening. The Lokal Anzeiger believes the crux of the situation is to be found in the struggle between the Independent Socialists and the Spartacus group for control in order to prevent the meeting of the national assembly. It points to the proba- bility of q repetition of the events of Nov. g with the result that the radi- calls might constitute a new govern ment dominated by Georg Ledebour and Dr. Karl Liebknecht
 Die Freiheit, organ of the Ind4 pendent Socialists, declares the po- sition Of the cabinet is critical and that it is unlikely to survive In its present makeup. The Taeglische Rundschau says it is highly uncertain that Ebert and Scheidemann will be able to save the situation for them selves.

MOMENTOUS RECEPTION FOR WILL SON
 MARKS PRESIDENTS DAY IN LONDON

London, Dec. 2S---This Is Presi- dents day in the city of London. The two first chapters of President VII sons English visit have been devoted to meetings and functions with royal and political persOnages of the gov ernment circle. The scene shifts to- day to the sombre old precincts of the Guild Hall and the Mansion House, set in the midst of the financial and commercial precincts which are the heart of Britain's strength.
 In the Guild Hall, an address Of welcome was presented to the Presi- dent on behalf of the city in the presence of a company of more than a thousand representatives of the government and of finance and of commerce. Afterwards the President was entertained at luncheon by the lord mayor and the corporation of the city---a function which was attended by three hundred guests, with the business element predominating.

 Today's event in the city had a dou- ,ble interest through the appearance there of the first American president 10 come during the term of his oftic2 and a general belief that he would make a pronouncement of political and international importance.
 While the President this morning received addresses from deputat!on' representing a number of societies and church organizations at the American embassy, khaki-clad troops marched toward the city and distri' buted themselves along the route while the gilded coaches of city fUuc- tionaries brought the aldermen and the sheriffs in their robes of office. tc the Guild Hall

 The Guard of Honor from the fa- nous Ancient Artillery Company was drawn up before the Guild Hall, where the Duke of Connaught was the first important guest to arrive, The Presidential party was received at the entrance by the lord mayor, Sir Horace Marshall, the lady may Cress, and the sheriff and members or the reception committee.
 The Guild Hall yard was trans formed into a gorgeous bower of pen rants and flags of the associated governments, among which the Sta=s and Stripes predominated. From the spire fioated the great white and red flag of the City of London.
 The daughter of the lord mayor presented Mrs. Wilson with a bou- quet as she arrived. and the Presi- dent inspected the Guard of Honor. | The procession then formed and passed into the guild hall. It made a 1 fine show of color, with the crimson ! anu bIdNtA anu SOltt OL Cllc tlLg OlllClSllS 1 regalia.

The President was ushered into the ancient banquet hall, already crowded with guests.

 The Presidents reception at the Guild hall was so spontaneous and 1 hearty that it carried an unmistake- able note of friendship and admira- ton.

After President Wilson's arrival all were grouped on the Dais. the lord mayor in the center and President Wilson on his right, next to the Duke of Connaught. The Royal Artillery band in the gallery played Ameriyan airs, ushering President Wilson in with "The Star Spangled Banner."
 During his speech the President declared he had fought to do away with the old order and establish q new one. The old order, he said. had for its center the unstable things" called the balance of power, deter mined by competitive interests, ''jeal- ous. watchfulness, and "an antagon- ism of interests"
 "The men who have fought the war;" said the president, ''have been men from free nations who were de- -ermined that this sort of thing should end now and forever"
 The suggestion for a concert of power to replace the balance of power, he remarked, now was coming from every quarter and from every sort of mind. The concert to come, the President declared, must not be balance of power or ono powerful group of nations set off against another, but "a single, overwhelm- ing, powerful group of nations which shall be the trustees of the peace of the world"
 The minds of the leaders of the British government he found the President said, were moving along in the same lines as his own, and their thought has been that the key to peace is the guarantee of it and not the items of it, The items oG it, he added, would be worthless unless a concert of power stood to back them.
 No such potent union of purpose ever has been seen in the world be- fore, the President said, as that

 T am particularly happy that the ground has been cleared and the foun- dations laid" continued the President, "bccause we already have accepted the same body principles. Those prin- ciples are clearly and definitely enough stated to make their applica- tion a matter which should afford no fundamental difficulty.
 The peoples of the world" the President declared, want peace and want it now, not merely by the con- quest of arms but by agreement of mind" Such an achievement, the President considered, would be the finest enterprise of humanity
 There had been Just a hint that the Presidents address would be the key to the conference he has been holding with British statesmen, and the ad- dress as it was delivered today was interpreted in American quarters as confirming the previous intimations that these conferences had been very satisfactory from the Presidents view point.
 At the outset of his address Presi- dent Wilson declared he did not fancy that the welcome of Paris and Lon don to him was purely personal, but rather that the voices of the people were expressing not only emotions of qualification that the fighting had ceased, but also their conception that the peace to be made must guarantee that the war could not be repeated.
 Tt now rests upon others to see that those lives were not lost in vain, D the President added.
 The President concluded his address amid a great demonstration.
