VIEWS ON WORLD NEWS
Written by j. W. I. Mason, United
Press Expert.

New York. Jan. 7.-President Wilson's
return TO Paris from Italy means the open
ing of the final discussions between French
statesmen the side and American
and British on the other. concerning the at
titude of the peace conference toward the
organization of the league of nations.
Tile basic principles of the proceedings
Of the peace conference will be decided by
the debates of the next Few days in Paris.
This means that the present week may be-
come critical in its influences upon the
worlds future.
Premier Clemenceau is holding out for
a new quadruple alliance to consist of
France, Great Britain. Italy and the United
States which shall, in effect, challenge the
central powers and Russia to a contest for
world dominance.
Allied statesmen are in some respects
matter. The Paris debates. therefore. will
find America and Great Britain represent
ing one viewpoint and the Latin countries
another The Latins can not win, how
ever. because neither American nor British
public opinion would sanction a return to
the balance of power diplomacy. If France
and Italy block the creation of a league
of nations, the alternative will be Americas
retirement from cooperation in the affairs
of continental Europe and to resumption
of her former position described by Eng
lishmen as zone of splendid isolation
This would be a very unwelcome develop
ment for France and Italy. 1t may well
endanger their own future development. In
the end, therefore, the Latin nations will
probably allow themselves to be convinced
of the advantages of a league of nations
and non-imperialistie peace.

WANTS OPEN MEETING
Editor of Corrfere Della Sera After
Public Peace Conference.

Milan, Jan. The editor of the
Corriere Della Sera, made the follow
ing statement today concerning
whether the peace conference should
be secret or public:
I'VE hate to think that the doors
of the conference will remain closed
at Paris or Versailles as they remained
closed at Vienna a century ago and
that the only information we shall
have about the discussions there will
be insipid and perhaps hypocritical,
communiques which leave behind
them the excited whisper of rumors
affording ample scope for suspicion.
distrust, alarm resentment, rancor
and bitterness. The end of the war in
creased certain responsibilities. Those
on whom the burden of these respon-
>sibilities fall must face them reso-
lutely
I'VE are about to come to a decis-
ion about treaties which will have an
immense influence on our lives and
in a still greater degree on the lives
of our sons and grandsons. Our lead
ers ought to be afraid to take upon
themselves responsibility without
knowing exactly the will of the peo-
pie, which knowledge can be obtained
only by open discussion. There is no
man living who has the authority and
who feels so sure Of himself that he
can look upon himself as a p1enipo-
tertiary in such a complete upheaval
of everything as the world is going
thru now ~

WANTS GERMAN IN
Senator McCumber Speaks in
Favor of Nation League.
And Insists That Hun Shall Be
One of Members.

Washington, Jan. T.-Immediate es-
adjustment of a league of nations
with Germany as a member, was urg-
ed in the senate today by Senator Nc
Cumber of North Dakota, the firse
Republican member of the senate to
voice approval of President wilson's
proposal for. such an organization.
The first clause of a compact for
such a league, Senator McCumber
said, should declare THAT each indie
pendent nation of the world as it shall
exist at the time this compact shall
be executed, has the right to live and
work out it's own destiny free from
any imposing danger of any mighty
military pefghbor."
nations, executed by all the great ma
tions of the world" said the North
Dakota senator, the danger of any
great war would be pressed far into
the realm of impossibility. Does any
body believe that if such a great in
ternational agreement had been in ex-
istence prior to 1914, even Germany
with her autocratic and irresponsible
government would have dared break
her compacts?
II want this bond and I want Ger
many's signature to this bond. She
has been tho only country that has
threatened the peace of the whole
world for the last As years and to
meet her threat, every other nation
has had to keep itself armed to the
teeth and weighted to the verge of
poverty to maintain mighty arma-
ments.
'And as deeply as hate Kaiserdom
and the abominable doctrines of mill
tary Germany. 1 believe we should
extend the hand of brotherhood and
friendship to democratic Germany
when its people have repudiated the
stigmas on real German character,
and have steered their country clear
of the worse malady Bolshevism."
Strengthen Monroe Doctrine.
Replying to the argument that
establishment of a league of nations
would weaken the Monroe doctrine,
Senator McCumber said the league
would strengthen it, as nations would
be bound to respect the territorial in
tegrity of the Central and South Amer
lean republics, where as now only the
United States guarantees their indie
pendence and integrity. Discussing
other phases of the work of the peace
conference, Senator McCumber said
the congress at Versailles may find it
necessary to return to Belgium all the

Influenza sailed away on clear

probably a thousand more cases that
were not reported. so
Scarlet fever, measles, whooping
cough, chicken pox and mumps got in
