WILSON REFUSES

As was forecast by Washington politi- cal observers, the President has refused to send the senate an official copy of the peace treaty His stand is logical and does not sur- prise anyone who has watched the conduct of the opposition senators bothin nWashingtonand on speakers platforms turnout the country.
 The republican leaders hardly expected to get favorable response to their demand, which was probably made for political pur- poses and not with the hope of compliance. Realizing that MT. Wilson would refuse, they planned to make political capital out of such a refusal, going before the people and attempt ing to show that the senate has been denied the confidence of the President
 In the first place, MT. Wilson is only abiding by the procedure as established by the conference. He is respecting the confidence of his colleagues and attending to the business which took him to Europe. And the big ma jority of the American people possess enough confidence in him to await his return and de- tails of the conference which he will bring to offset any partisan plot which the G. o. r. leaders may hatch.
 It is now assured that MT. Wilson will go before the people on his return to the United States. From plans being made by Secretary Tumulty the President will tour practically the entire country, making numer- ous speeches in the more important places in which he will define his position and refute the charges of usurpation of bower which have been made against him.
 As far as denying the senate his confi- dence, most Americans are convinced that he has acted wisely in doing so. In any matter that he was confidential with that body on certain members have taken advantage of his attitude to further opposition schemes, and it is not farfetched to believe that this opposi- ton, had it possessed the necessary details would have worked with might and main to destroy the position of leadership which the President enjoys in the peace conference.

LOCAL FARMERS ENTER STORAGE
 BUSINESS SOON
TANANA VALLEY AGRICULTURAL ASSOCIATION PURCHASES THE HALE WAREHOUSE AND STORE BUILDING; NO RETAIL BUSI- NESS PLANNED.

At a special meeting held at the ArmOry last evening, the Panama Val. ley Agricultural Association unani. mously approved the decision of it's recently appointed committee for the purchase of the warehouse and store. building on Front street, the same to be used by the farmers for stor. age warehouse and in the interests of the association. It was emphatic ally stated, however, that it is not the intention of the association to engage in the mercantile business in any way that will be competitive to local merchants.
 The association showed its deter imitation to put the thing thru when it came to finances. More than $1,6OO has already been subscribed and this amount represents less than "A hours solicitation by the committee and several members have not been seen. Officers of the organization stated last night that the money is assured.
 The warehouse will be incorporated under the laws of the territory and articles of incorporation have been adopted by the association and will be forwarded at once to Juneau for the necessary action in securing a charter. The incorporation is for S5O,000, but it is unlikely that there will be any attempt to dispose of all the stock at this time, reserve be. ing held for future expansion as the proposition develops.
 The deal with MT. Hale will be closed Monday. The grocery stock which is now in the Hale store will be disposed of-to outside parties, sev' eral propositions being under consid eration at this time.
 The membership of the corporation will be limited strictly to members oi the association, which means that only bonafide farmers will be allow ed to hold the warehouse stock While there is no limitation placed on the amount each member may pur chase, limit on the voting value of the shares has been fixed at twen ty votes. Each share has a par value of $10,O0O. and under the proposed plans. no subscriber, no matter how heavy a, stockholder he may be, can vote more than $2O0 worth of his holdings. It is proposed in this man ner to prevent any cornering of the stock for ulterior motives.
 By action of last nights meeting the farmers of this district are as. sured of first class storage place during the coming winter. The ware. house will be working by harvest time and every possible convenience will be available to the members of the association.

FEDERATION STILL SANE

The proceedings of the American Feder- ation of Labor convention at Atlantic City give ample proof that affiliated American la bor is still in possession of its right senses, and is not dominated to any great degree by the radicals who have been working hard to capture the convention for more than twelve months.
 The federation's decision not to approve of or countenance general strike the Fourth of July as protest against the Mooney case will win appreciation from all unionists save those who have come under the sway of the extremists It went even further than a mere refusal to countenance such strike and se- verely censured the Mooney defense committee for its activity in the convention along these lines.
 It seems apparent that President Comp CTS is still supreme in the federation coun- cils. His hand is visible in the refusal of the convention to recognize the Russian. soviet government Tn this, as in all other interna- tional questions, he has the support of affi- ated American workers in standing solidly be- hind the American government. His deter imitation not to commit labor to any course of action which might embarrass the government still holds good and labor is trailing with him.
 He reaffirms the non-political purpose of the American Federation of Labor, and won out when the delegates refused to change La Dor Day from September to May The sanity of his counsel is apparently recognized by the federation, and the convention is more strong ly anti-radical this year than it was at its last session year ago.

ITALIAN KING
 IS WORKING ON
 A NEW CABINET

FORMER MINISTER OF TREASURY IS REQUESTED BY KING TIC FORM NEW CABINET; MINISTER FAVORS COMPROMISE OF THE
 ADRIATIC QUESTION.
 ROME, June 21.-R)-FranciscC Nitti, former minister of the treasury has been requested by the king to form a new cabinet which will take the place of the one just resigned Senor Nitti is strongly in favor of compromising the Adriatic claims with the Jugo Slavs and it is be. lieved a satisfactory settlement of this matter will be made in a short while, providing be is placed in power.
 The Italian cabinet consists of elev. en members and their under-secretar- ies representing the following de- partments: Foreign affairs, war, mar inc, finance, education, internal af- fairs, treasury, public works, justice and ecclesiastical affairs, commerce, industry, agriculture, and posts and telegraphs.
 Altho it is customary that the cab inet be chosen from the lower house of parliament, the constitution pro- vides that any Italian citizen may be- come a cabinet minister. The cabinet is directly responsible to the cham Der of deputies for its actions and must resign whenever the latter casts an adverse vote. The failure of vote of confidence to pass the cham Der caused the resignation of the late cabinet. As a rule the premier is the leader of the most influential political group. All foreign affairs are conducted and all important leg lslation is initiated by the cabinet.

IRISH LEADER
 COMES HERE TO
 INTEREST U. s,
THE PRESIDENT OF THE SINN COUNTRY TO ENLIST SUPPORT AND OFFICIAL RECOGNITION OF HIS GOVERNMENT.

NEW YORK, June 21.-R)-With a view of obtaining official recognition of the recently declared Irish repub- lie, Edward de Valera, president of the government proclaimed by the Sim Feiners, arrived at an Atlantic port today. It is reported that he will proceed to this city tomorrow and expects to get into instant touch with prominent government officials.
 For some time Edward de Valera has been the head of the Sim Fein society and when that organization recently proclaimed an Irish repub- lie he was the unanimous choice as president. Repeated efforts have been made to have the republic recognized by the peace conference but all of them failed. The Sim Feiners have also endeavoreG to obtain a hearing for their representatives at the peace congress in Versailles, but their eff forts have been in vain
 President de Valera hopes he may be able to win the support of the United States to the Irish cause, knowing that official recognition by this country of the republic will go a long way toward making it's estab- lishment fact instead of a project.

TO DO NOTHING UNTIL SENATE
 ACTS ON BILL


 TANCE OF LEAGUE UNTIL HE
 LEARNS DEFINITELY WHAT
 SENATE WILL DO.
 PARIS, June 21.-P)-Presiden Wilson is taking no chances with his republican opponents in America. Altho he is the leading figure in the formation of the league of nations he refuses to definitely commit the United States, to any policy concern ing the society until the senate has acted on the peace treaty.
 The President ,is keeping in close touch with his supporters in the sen ate and is being fully advised con- corning the progress of the resolu- tion designed to separate the league of nations from the peace treaty when the latter is brot before the senate for consideration.
 It is officially stated today that President Wilson refuses to say that America will fully participate in the league of nations. The President firmly believes his view of the league covenant will be supported by the American people but he does not in- tend to act until it is certain he will receive the backing of congress.
