M basis.
The state department this afternoon
S&ook an optimistic view Of The Faris
x&&p0rt, believing tfat II Indicated an
MGkfy peace, but ia other. quarters II
%M1 suggested 1t meant m eleventh
0mr* peace, which would nccessitate
MkAher sessions OF the peace CONFER
1116e proper for quite some time after
~ preiintins ries were signed by the
H9ExnAn delegates.
fn this connection it was pointed
s@0f that the league of nations con-
*0$34ntion. despite amendments, is not
SS&44 In satisfactory shape. and that this
&onA would the president 10 re-
EMrn to Paris. He would he unw1t-
&@MEs It is believed. to trust It's final
S~&4enposition to other hands, inasmuch

s3YUun his return to Washington,
SFEVEf. the president will find an
gFnpialion of work which IS apt
him engaged for more thar .
&ANh. The business situation of the
y Mit66 States needs distinct assist
S&nce from the government in order
! conditions may again become
orrnA1.
X9qSere has been much controversy
tween different departments of the
Nnknment lateiy-slch as the dis
1F04fnert between the railroad ad-
S16tstrzxion and the industrial board
the department of commerce over
Price Of steel-which has GER
&ntm3ysnot put business in 6 compla-
kGont frame Ct mind.
Then, too, there is the problem of
84n0uaAnds VI returning soldiers. who
Ind themselves applauled when pa
axnf4inx In mass formation down the
S*shome town. streets. but who are ex-
EfHft4aCing trouble to find that in

es2s With q Republican congress on his
u IMnds, the president may discover
01xfo opposition TO a plan to return to
81 1srope a third time, but If this arises
10 may attempt to dissipate it by a
SsESwing around the circle" telling the
1&Gople what the peace conference has
zG1eornplished and what he thinks he
s5aesn 10 DE further able to accomplish
~ ! third trip to France.
IN h event the president decides
&&n cross the ocean again, he is ex-
Xpocted to leave the United States in
#42sa latter Part OF May or early June
Hnmd he in France ten days later. This
Will give him sufficient time to take a
1Snding part in the final stages OF the
s1p@Fmanent treaty of peace. in which
80 Intends the league OF nations TO be
unsupported.
