ENGLAND SUPPORTS
 CLAIMS OF FRANCE
Foch's Ar1nistice Terms Will Effectively Disarm Ger
 mans in West.

London, March Recommending on the terms which Marshal Foch will present to the Germans, the Times says:
 ''They will be severe and such as will effectivey disarm the Central Powers on the side nearest France.
 France has a, just right to extra mili- tary guarantees on her frontiers to- wards Germany, and these guarantees may well have to take the form of
 special territorial djustments. Jn
 any case, France may count on our sympathy and assistance in obtaining all these necessary guarantees.
 But the chief weakness in the fu-
 ture will be in eastern Europe and
 that is why a barrier of new states
 to be erected between the Baltic and
 Adria tic will need strengthening by
 every means in our power. Although
 France has a particular interest in the
 west front the detection of Bolsheviz Russia makes it desirable that she should find some substitute on the east for her old Russian alliance, and it must be a. great joy to her people that this substitute should take the form of q barrier line of free peoples. :. "Our position has many points of resemblance to that of France. The main avenues of the league Of ma tions communication with free peo-
 ples between the Baltic and tic
 will be over the sea, and. therefore, we are anxious about free passa ge into the Baltic and also that there should be ot it's eastern end friendly powers to provide the navies of the league after they have entered the Baltic with repairs and facilities of operation.
 But that is not all As in eastern Europe, we hope to see a barrier of free states erected so that England, which has India to think of, may be protected in the middle east. No one
 substitute will cover all the ground once occupied by the Ottoman em- pire. It's old functions will have to be divided between new Arabia, New Armenia and new Palestine. That is why the question of Syria is so inn portant to us. France has a right to the best frontiers possible on the side of Germany, and we have a similar right in the middle east, for it is not our way to keep huge armies garrs- oning frontiers. Our way is to di- minish our military liabilities by 8 system of buffer states.
 ''Our position in Egypt gives us
 especial interest in the future of Palestine and the same applies to Arabia Such considera tions as these are not incon SiStent with the princi- = 1 ples of the league of nations. On the l contrary, the nearer an ideal carries i it's head to the clouds the more firmly
 must it's feet be planted on solid i ground"
 | The Times concludes by speaking of 1 the value of American support, say | ing:
 l we want all the assistance she l can see it her way to give

Washington, March 3.--Secretary of Labor Wilson who presided at the opening sessionesof the governors and mayors here today told the conference that the recent strikes at Seattle, Butte, Lawrence and other places were not industrial economic dis putes in their origin but were results of a deliberate, organized attempt at social and political movement Rc establish Soviet governments in tMe United States Secretary Wilson said that even during industrial activity 100000 1 workers are unemployed, representins the turning over of labor. He added: T don't believe any country owes every man a Irving. But l do believe every country owes every man a chance to earn a living
 Because of threatened shortage of work incident to slowness of de- mobilization buffer endowment must be found, he said, and the best means of furnishing this lay in the government immediately engaging in normal construction of public work TO provide labor with employment In this way he declared would unite the workers and would not prove a fertile field for propaganda and false philosophy and prevent a possible decade of unrest
 Secretary Baker followed Secretary Wilson and explained the war de- partment's method in cancelliug con- tracts so as to accomplish a gre;~1 saving to the government without demoralizing industry or disturbing labor.
 Immediately after the armistice was signed steps were taken to can eel contracts and so far, he said, the war department has suspended opera tlons that would have cost S5.S29.- 100000 to complete There were 19,000 separate contracts that had to be adjusted and of these 4,6OO have been settled.
 One reason why the return of troops has been slowed up. Secretary Baker exlained, is that Great Britain withdrew troop ships to carry home New Zealand, Canadian and AustraJ- ian soldiers who had been in service longer than Americas which he said was a proper procedure He reiter- ated that by April 100000 American troops would be returning monthly.
 The war department, he said. is much interested in measures to pro- vide jobs for returning soldiers and he told how Colonel Arthur Woods. former police commissioner of New York had been made a special as- slstant secretary to perfect co-opera- ton with the department of labor ana the council of national defense for employment activities
 Reclung the terrible human losses or the war and vast expenditures of money the secretary said:
 The time for the United States +o do the greatest service for noankind IS now" He added that the United States should set an example of solidarity of government and that ono essential 10 this was to restore normal conditions of employment and in dustrlal activity as soon as possible
