PRES. WILSON IS ON WAY HOME
AFTER HAVING HELPED BUILD
BASIS FOR LEAGUE OF NATIONS
MUST NOW RE-ESTABLISH
FINANCIAL RELATIONS
That Is the Great Problem to Be Settled
Now That the League of Nations
Plan Is Framed.

Paris, Feb. l5.--With the subject OF
the league of nations now out of the way
for some time to come, the biggest prob
lem before the peace conference at pres
ent is believed to be the readiustment Of
the worlds financial and economic rela-
tions, which have been torn to pieces by
more than four years of war.
Three different organizations have been
created to deal with these subjects. The
work of the supreme economic council Is
of the greatest immediate Importance. 1t
has been charged temporarily, during the
armistice period, to handle only such
pressing questions as the disposition to
be made of shipping; the abatement OF
the blockade, which has been holding
back not only the enemy's industry but
that of neutrals; the distribution of raw
materials, and, finally, those financial
questions that require instant attention.
This council includes in its membership
some of the ablest financial and business
minds of America and Europe.
Of more permanent value is expected
to be the work of the economic drafting
commission and the financial drafting
commission, The economic drafting com
tical application of the third of President
Wilson's IA points, namely, that declar-
ing for the removal as far as possible Of
all economic barriers and the establish
ment Of an equality of trade conditions
among all of the nations consenting to
the peace and associating themselves for
its maintenance.
The problem involved the right Of ma
tions to discriminate between friends and
foes in their trade relations and the
propriety of continuing the many spe
cial trade treaties with their difTerential
tariffs. which in the past so often have
ieopardized the peace of the states.
The financial drafting commission will
have to meet the insistent demand Of
some of the delegations for the pooling
of all the credits, debts and resources Of
the nations, a proposition which seems
certain TO be strongly resisted by the
American representatives.
This commission also is to obtain in
formation as to the financial resources,
present and prospective, of the enemy
countries in order that the commission
on reparation may complete its work.

FRENCH ARE sKEPTICAL
Of the Value of the League of Nations to
Them Against Germany.

Paris, Feb. l5.-Comment in represen-
tative French newspapers on the consti-
tuition of the league of nations as pre-
sented at yesterdays plenary session of
the peace conference reveals little enthu-
siasm over the shape the project has TAX.
en-. The Figaro says:
The mystic society of nations has be-
come Il league of the FIVE great powers
which beat Germany and which, having
conquered, mean to consolidate both vic
tory and peace. A close alliance will re-
suit between the United States, Eng
land, France, Italy and Japan"
The Journal, one of the most widely
circulated newspapers here, says;
"While all are speaking of fraterniza-
tion and eternal peace, the French people
cannot lose sight of reality, and reality
is the vicinity of seventy million hui
inflated Germans shuddering under mer-
tied punishment, 1t is half of Europe in
chaos. When we see evoked, amidst such
perspectives, the seductive idea of dis
armament, it is our duty to ask plainly,
where are the guarantees and what is
the force which will shelter us from the
reaction of tragic surprise? To these
questions, a careful reading of the pro-
jected statutes of the society of nations
and the eloquent speeches made at the
conference bring but one answer Moral
force"
"Pertinax," in the Echo de Paris, ends
a long article by saying: eve are forced
to conclude that the 26 articles bring us
no security. Until they are changed we
can sacrifice nothing of our means of de-
tense to them

and Premier Orlando of Italy voiced their
approval of the covenant, but Leon Bour.
geois of France, while expressing his gen
eral satisfaction, made reservations
which indicated that his proposals for
an international military force will be
heard again when the debate proceeds
further.
Another slight evidence of dissent was
found in the remarks of w. NJ. Hughes
of Australia, who inquired, with some
show of feeling, if ample opportunity to
discuss the scheme would be given The
Arabian delegation also sounded a minor
note of discord in calling attention to
secret treaties which were said to inter
fere with the principle Of self-determina-
tion expressed by the covenant
Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson arrived at the
Inyalides station at 9 o'clock in pour
ing rain. Their departure for Brest was
without that demonstration which
marked their arrival in Paris on Dec. Ia,
but there was every evidence of official
and popular cordiality.

From the railroad siding TO the dock
were drawn up battalion of American
soldiers and French marine band played
the "Star Spangled Banner" as the gun
boat left its moorings. All the ships
in the harbor displayed the American
flag and all traffic was suspended while
the presidents party was transferred
to the George Washington.
A French naval escort consisting Of
the cruiser Conde and several torpedo
boats acted as a guard Of honor for the
George Washington. This escort, with
the American battleship New Mexico
will escort the president out to sea and
then return The New Mexico was ac-
eompanied by four American torpedo
boats. Georges Leygues, the French min
lister of marine, and Andre Tardieu, the
French high commissioner to the United
States, accompanied the president on
board the George Washington to bid him
goodbye.
Franklin Roosevelt, American assist
ant secretary of the navy, arrived in
Brest shortly before the president board
ed the George Washington, and was
taken aboard the liner on special naval
craft. The weather was misty and
cloudy with moderate temperature.
When the president alighted from the
train he was smiling, He shook hands
with Admiral Moreau, General Helmicl,,
Admiral Hastead and Mr.. Schwab. The
president talked for a few minutes with
Mr.. Schwab. Mrs. Wilson smiled as she
followed the president and received from
NJ Leygues a handsome bouquet Of
flowers.
Mrs. Josephine Lewis of Cincinnati
presented the president with bouquet
of violets, which he accepted with bow.
After exchanging greetings, the pres
ident stood on the gunboat and waived
to the crowds on the dock and those as
sembled on the embanlments high above
the quay. The mistiness of the wealth
er hid the glmbOat from sight soon after
it left the dock, but the president con-
tinued to wave his hat and smile as
the boat headed toward the George
Washington, The president was accom-
panied on board the gunboat by Ambas-
sador and Madame Jusserand and by
Representatives Helvering, White and
Norton, who have been in France for
several months. David r. Francis, the
American ambassador to Russia, and his
son and daughter also were members Of
the party.
The president spent just Is minutes at
the quay. He passed along the line OF
those assembled to greet him and shook
hands with each one. Reaching the end
of the line, he descended the stairs to
the deck Of the gunboat and then assist
ed Mrs. Wilson to descend.
On the arrival of the presidential
party on board the George Washington,
there was little formalty except for
handshalcing with NJ. Leygues and M.
Tardieu, the orders being for the George
Washington to get under way as soon
as the party and its baggage had been
received. The sea was calm as the gun
boat made its way to the George Wash
ington.

NO DEMONSTRATION
As WILSON'S LEFT
But There Was Evidence of Official and
Popular COrdiality as They De-
parted from Paris.

Paris, Friday, Feb. l4-With to.day's
plenary session of the peace conference
over and the newly framed covenant of
the league Of nations read and discussed,
President Wilson left Paris tonight for
Brest on his way back to the United
States, accompanied by Mrs. Wilson.
When the delegates to the peace con-
ference gathered at the foreign office this
afternoon there was the feeling among
them that a historic moment had ar
rived 1t was the third plenary session
of the peace conference.
President Wilson presented a striking
picture as he stood before the delegates
to read the covenant and expound its
merits, He spoke in a calm, even tone,
without gesture or emphasis, except
twice, when he referred to "armed forces
in the background" and to exploitation
of helpless peoples"
