Wilson Answers Questions
/. Put By San Francisco
Central Council.
STATUS OF IRISH UNDER
LEAGUE BEHIND INQUIRY
Independent Action OF U. 5.
Neither Limited Nor Affect
ed By Covenant.
By Hugh ,BaiIlie

(United Press staff correspondent
Aboard the Presidents Train APP
preaching San Francisco, Sept. IT,
Answering questions of the San Fran,
cisco labor council with regard to Ire
lands status under the peace settle
ment, President Wilson today pointed
out that the league of nations sets up
a forum to which all peoples can bring
any matter that is liable to affect the
peace and freedom Of the world.
Four questionsSwere submitted to the
president by the San Francisco labor
council. These questions and their ans
wers follow:
Under the covenant, does this ma
tion obligate itself to assist any mem
ber of the league in putting down a
rebellion of its subjects Of conquered
peopless
Answer--It does not.
2--Under the covenant, can this ma
tion Independently recognize a govern
ment whose people seek to achieve or
have achieved their independence from
a member of the league.
Answer-The independent action of
the government of the United. States
in matter of this kind Is in no way
limited or affected by the covenant of
lthe league of natioas. 4
3-Under the covenant, are those sub
|jectF nations or peoples only that are
mentioned in the peace treaty entitled
to the right of self determination, OF
does the league possess the right ac,
cord a similar privilege to other sub
ject nations or peoplesa
Answer-It was not possible for the
peace conference to act with regard to
the self determination of any territor,
les except those which had belonged tc
the defeated empires, but in the cove
nant Of the league Of nations it was
set up for the first time, in article ii
forum to which all claims of self de
termination which are likely to disturb
the peace of the world or the good un
derstanding between nations upor
which the peace of the world depends
can be brought.
4-Why was the case of ireland mo-
heard at the peace conferencee Wha'
lis your position on the subject Of sell
determination for Ireland9
Answer-The case of Ireland was mo-
heard at the peace conference because
| the peace conference had no iurisdie
tion over any question of that sor,
which did not affect territories which
belonged to the defeated empires. MY
position on the subject of self deter
mination for ireland is expressed ii
article ii of the covenant, in which
may say was particularly interested
because it seemed to me necessary 70
the peace and freedom Of the worlt
that forum be created to which al
peoples could bring any matter whicl
was likely to affect the peace and fire.

SOLDIERS COUNCIL CONCLUDES SESSION ANDCALLSCONGRESS
By Associated Press


 |, Berlin, February 9.-The congress of soldiers councils attached to various German army corps concluded its ses=.. sion here today with the adop ton of a resolution calling on the central council of the sols9' diers. and workingmens' boards. to summon a general congress of all the German soviets by February 20. If the central council of 27 members refuses to comply, the executive co1n~ mittee of the Berlin local corn- cil is given authority to suSsss mon such a congress. ~'
 As the Berlin body is wholly dominated by radical elements it is expected that it will lose no time in making use of the prerogatiye given it especially as the central council of 2 has already returned its mandate to the national as-e sembly at Weimar on the principle that. US functlOnS WOulu cease WltH lhc Ah- stallation fthe new coalition demo- cratic government.
 There seems no doubt that the working mems boards all over Germany are in |, full accord with the action of the solr diers, and thus the prospective flight ofe the soviets for the retention of their au- thority undiminished promises to supply Ia lively counter action to that of the constituent assembly.
 The concluding session of the soldiers congress was marked by further sharp criticism of the military policies of the gov vernment and of it's present attitude to- p ward the soviets One Hamburg soldier delee ate declared that 400O0 working men in Hamburg were under arms. and that if the Gerstenberger division, now oc- cupying Bremen, attempted to enter Hamburg the first shot fired would be signal for the blowing up of bridges and of food cargo vessels. The work iremen he declared, were well organized rtc companies, and the Hamburg soviet had at its disposal in addition 10000 trocps within the precincts of the Nine- teenth army corps.-
 The congress also adopted resolution declaring that the ordinance of the min- isteI of war on January l9, affecting the authority of the societs was illegal.
