Russian situation, which is recognized
as the greatest present obstacle to a
quick peace settlement and establish.
ment Of the league of nations.
Tho meeting, which was held in the
Quai d 'Orsay between 1890 and noon,
was attended by two delegates of each
of the five great allied nations. Presi-
dent Wilson and Secretary Lansing
represented the United States,
That no definite understanding was
reached concerning representation for
the various Russian factions was in
dicated by the official announcement
that the council would continue its
hearing on Russian affairs tomorrow.
This also seemed to dispose effectually
of the belief that the general peace
congress would resume its sessions to-
morrow, although there is a possibility
that the council may dispose of it's
business in time for the congress to
get under way in the afternoon.
M. Noulens Gives Address
Today's meeting was addressed by
M. Noulens, French ambassador to Rus
sia, who recently returned from Arch
angel. After his arrival in France
Noulens gave out an interview in
which he Endorsed Foreign Minister
Pichon s attitude-that any form of
recognition Of the soviet government
is impossible. The council tomorrow
will hear M. Seavinius, Danish minis
ter to Petrograd, who left that city a
few weeks ago when his country broke
off diplomatic relations with the boil
sheviki.
The president went FROM the Quai
D'Orsay to the French senate, where
he had luncheon as the guest of the
members Of that body. Antonio Dubost,
president of the senate, made an ad-
dress in which he assured Wilson that
the French pae.ale had spontaneously
given their hearts to him.

at the earliest possible moment.
A.. Inauguration, as speedily as nee

These four items cover a multitude Of

Want Vocational Training.
On the first point the progressive

WILSON ROUNDING OUT
INTERNATIONAL LABOR
LEGISLATION PROGRAM
Said To Believe That No Peace
Is Possible Until Certain
Competitions End.
By Robert J. Bender

Omitted Press staff correspondent
Paris, JAN 20.-With the American
plan for the league OF nations complet-
ed, President Wilson was rounding out
his program for International labor
legislation today.
The president position is said to be
that no peace is possible until the
threat OF economic competition which
might destroy the safeguards of labor
is ended. 1t was expected that he
would make some public declaration of
his views in this regard in the two
speeches he was 30 make today. The
addresses were to be delivered at a
luncheon .tendered him by the French
SENATE and upon the occasion of his
attending session of the chamber Of
deputies.
Tho American program for labor leg
islation, it is understood, provides for
Incorporation of several vital prlnci-
Piles in the peace treaty, including the
international child labor law, protect
ion for women workers, regulation of
working conditions and an agreement
on the no1ss OF labor to constitute a
universal work day. Tn ms speeches in
Italy the president emphasized the i'm
portance of the influence OF labor ON
world opinion and made plain that la
Dor must be fully recognized in the
peace negotiations.
Based on Careful Study
The league of nations plan Of the
American delegation is based on care
full study of its own allied ideas.
Allied authorities familiar with the
plan say it is the best yet promulgat-
cd. 1t embodies many of the features
Of the General Smuts program anu in
cludes many of the details Of the Brit
ish plan. The American plan, it is un-
derstood, provides that the present as
sociated powers shall constitute the
nucleus of the league and that every
free nation shall have the right of
membership. There is provision for
arbitration, with compulsory measures
which would prevent the outbreak OF
war pending reports of the arbitrators.
The memorandum prepared by the
American delegates outlines the posi-
bility of new world thought, action and
spirit, designed virtually to prevent
future wars. Germany and Russia
would be taken into the league when
they have stabilized their governments
and the league would afford every pos
sable aid to both nations, the president
feeling that peace would be useless
with half of Europe aflame with the
spirit of jealousy and revenge. Premier
Lloyd-George is said to be unreserv-
edly in agreement with this principle.
After formation of the league there
would be a meeting Of special dele,
gates to formulate new international
code. In view of the attitude of the
allies, it may be stated that the presi-
dent feels the outlook is favorable for
prompt consummation of the league.
