President Wilson's message cabled
from Paris and read to congress as
sembled in extraordinary session,
made various recommendations for do
nestle legislation, most Of which had
been anticipated by the caucus pro-
gram of the Republicans, who control
both houses. These include the Ques-
tion OF labor, the revision Of taxes, the
stimulating of foreign trade. the return
Of telegraph and telephone lines to
their owners, the settlement of the
railroad question and the adoption OF
woman suffrage. Mr.. Wilson added
the advice that the wartime prohibi-
ton law, which goes into effect July
1, be amended or repealed In so far
as II applies to beers and wines. For
day or so the "wets" were jubilant over
this part of the message, but the "drys"
promptly declared their intention to
prevent any such action as the presi-
dent recommended, and took steps to
nut into effect the measure as IL

An interesting fact concerning the
peace negotiations has just developed.
A number of the experts attached to
the American delegation have resigned,
declaring the treaty is unacceptable to
them in many respects. They were
taken over to gather historical, racial
and other data. and they assert that
the mass Of information they handed
in has not been used or even read by
the delegates. They more than inti-
mate that the framing Of the peace
treaty degenerated quickly into proc
ess Of bargaining and that Mr.. Wilson
was compelled to surrender his ideals,
one after another, in order to put
across his main idea Of a league of
nations. According to these malcon-
tents. the settlement OF the Saar basin.

The answers of the allies to the
notes already submitted by the Ger
mans could not have given the latter
much encouragement as TO results,
When they complained Of the taking OF
mines and nitrate beds they were told
the treaty did not prevent their buying
minerals and nitrates from other ma
tions; when they objected to the loss
Of their mercantile shipping and the
consequent loss Of employment for
their sailors, they were reminded that
the allies were not thus nearly COM
pensated for their losses due to sub
marine ravages; and when they said
Germany would be unable to feed her
population If deprived Of agricultural
lands, they were told the reduction OF
population through the loss of territory
left her fewer mouths To feed. and the
Germans could easily obtain agricul'
