Wilson's Message
Praised In Paris
Document Is Regarded as Domestic
Affair and Little Attention
Is Given 1t.

PARIS, May 24,-Considering it to
be wholly a domestic affair, the
French press pays little attention to
President Wilson's message to con
gress. Only parts of it are published,
with words Of comment that laud the
president for his labor utterances and
for other reforms that he approves.
A dissenting voice is raised by Rene
Daral in the Gaulois, who savs:
"The force of persuasion which the
President has exercised in the peace
conference has prevailed from the
fact that he has always said he spoke
in the name of the people of the
United States, of which he was the
authorized mouthpiece. We will now
see if that view is supported by the
representatives of the nation now
gathered in Washington"

however, that as yet no American had

that Villa himself had treated all
Americans with consideration. Some
American property has, however, been
taken by the Villistas when they
needed food, material and funds, and
Villa has stated that this would be

Is Federal Intent
Assistant War Secretary CrowelI
Goes to Study in Europe
Would Rival Autos.

NEW YORK, May 24.-Assistant
Secretary Of War Benedict Crowell
is on his way to Europe, as the head
of a commission which will study
means of developing the commercial
alrpIane industry in this country. He
left on the transport Mount Vernon.
He said when he sailed that, in his
opinion, American air supremacy
could be attained only with the aid
of a government subsidy.
As the result of a conference to
be held with the Air Ministers of
England, France and Italy, he hopes
to be able to aid the government in
bringing about a restoration to the
United States of air supremacy, won
by European nations by taking adj
vantage of the fundamentals of avia-
ton discovered and applied by Ameri-
can pioneers.
The governments aim, Mr. Crowcl
said, was to encourage building up
the airplane business to a basis sim
liar to that Of the automobile indus

Western Senators
Defend Covenant
League and Treaty Must Stand or
Fall Together, Says Pittman.

WASHINGTON, May 24.-"An
amendment of the peace treaty by
the United States senate with regard
to the league of nations covenant
would be, in effect, rejection of the
treaty" said Senator Pittman, Of
Nevada, yesterday afternoon. He
believes the covenant and treaty are
"lf any amendment is adopted by
the senate" explained Mr.. Pittman,
then the whole procedure of the
negotiation of the treaty again must
be entered into. The treaty itself
pl ovides that when ratified by Ger
many and three of the allied powers
it shall go into effect and be binding
upon the sgnatory nations. When it
has thus been ratified it will be too
late to call another peace confer
ence."
Senator Phelan, of California, re-
tlrned Thursday from a western
trip. "The sentiment of the people
is overwhelmingly in favor of the
league of nations" he said, There
is a disposition in the west to criticize
sharply Senators Lodge, Borah, Reed
and those who strongly oppose the
league agreement. DO these men
want perpetual war" is the question
