Claims Political Considerations Have

fRepublIcan A. P. Leased wirel

ST PAUL, Sept. Establishment of the cost of living, President Wilson declared here today, must await the re- establishment of complete peace basis, which will put labor and capital on their feet.
 In two addresses the president as- serted that connection between accept ance of the peace treaty and amieliora- ton of living conditions was a direct one and that the world was looking to America to take the lead in restoring the world to a sound economic basis.
 Mir. Wilson spoke in the morning at a special session of the Minnesota legislature and in the evening at a pub lie meeting at the St. Paul Auditorium. During the afternoon he also addressed a meeting in Minneapolis.
 Tomorrow he is to speak in Bis marck, N. D.
 For his night meeting here the presi- dent found the Auditorium packed, city authorities estimating the crowd at more than 14.000.
 Mayor L. c. Hodgson, a republican, introduced MT Wilson "as great spiritual leader of American democ- racy," whose power was written fin the hearts of his people,.
 Not Political Trip
 Opening his speech. Mir Wilson said there were no political considerations in his hpeechmaking trip for the treaty. It was an American issue, he declared, and he had come out to the people rather to hold counsel" than to make a fight against anybody.
 Despite the varied national origins of the people of America, said the pres ident, distinctly American type had been developed and one Of the distinc tions of that type was the belief in equality as contrasted with the class distinctions of the other countries.
 Adding that there were "a great many hyphensr left in America, he declared a "hyphen' the most un- American" trait to be found in the country.
 Because of it's mixed derivations, the president asserted, America was des- tined to be the mediator Of the world. It was the only nation, he continued, that can sympathetieally organize the world for peace" Of the many dele gations from foreign lands who ap- pealed to him for a hearing in Paris. he saic, all were able to point out that they had relatives in America.
 League Misrepresented
 The league Of nations, the president declared, had been misrepresented as a trap set to draw the United States into war.
 We shall not be drawn into war; he said. We shall be drawn into con- sultations. And we shall be the most trusted. We are the pre-destined mediators of mankind
 Emphasizing the arbitration fea- lures of the league covenant, Mir. Will son repeated many of the arguments he had used in previous addresses.
 Since it had seemed to become possi- ble that the league would fail. said the president, "the old intriSues have start ed off again" and "that hyphen be- tween German and American" again had raised it's head.
 We know the former purposes of German intrigue in this country and it's being revived said Mir Wilson, adding that the purpose now seemed to be to keep America and Germany out of the league so that at same future time the two could unite, or one could hold the world off while the other accomplished it's conquests.
 There can be only one intelligble reason for America staying out of this, ? said MT Wilson And that is that she doesn't want peace she wants war some times.''
 The men who oppose the league, add ed the president, have so badly mis- interpreted the American spirit that they eventually would have time to reflect in obscurity on the mistake they had made.
