SPAIN ENDORSES
 WILSON'S VIEWS
Believe Findings Submitted By Committee Will Have
 Great Weight.

Madrid, Sunday, March 16 - (By The Associated Press)-A committee appointed by the government to study the subject Of Spanish participation in the League of Nations has sub mitted a report which will be consid- cred at special cabinet meeting to- day or tomorrow. The government entirely endorsed President Wilson's proposals but reserves It's decision as to reductions of armament and the fixing of military forces by members of the league.
 It is understood that the govern ment will ask definite assurance as to the Spanish coast line. protector ates in Africa and the suitability Of military service as social discipline for Spain. The wish Is also express ed that this country may maintain close relations with South American nations of common race origin and language.
 Spain will be represented at confer ences of neutral nations at Paris by Manuel Gonzales Hontoria a Liberal deputy and former under secretary of foreign affairs. who leaves for Paris on Monday night. Premier Roma uones also may go to Paris to attend some sfttings of the neutral confer ence if the political situation permits.
 Senor Hontoria and other members of the committee who are supporters of President Wilson's ideas consider that the findings submitted to the government in its report will have peculiar weight, both because Spain is cne Of the leading neutral nations and because of the prestige she en- joys among I<atn-American countries faYoring the establishment of g, League of Nations. Spain is ready to present her views to the neutral conference on military, economic and social questions. but will not discuss Mo rocco, considering her rights so in disputab1e that discussion is un- necessary.

ENGLAND'S ACTION CAUSES FRANCE TO
 BUY IN AMERICA

Paris, Sunday, March 16.---DiScuss- ing the rise in the rate of exchange for the pound sterling, which. has been nearly six per cent during the last two days, the financial editor of the Journal des Mebats says:
 If the British government consid- CTS that 1t no longer is possible to accord France direct advances nor extend equivalent resources in some other form. France will be obliged to purchase elsewhere in countries which are prepared to open her credits for her, notably the United States which can supply everything now received from England, even coal"
 The writer contends the cost will be greater in France, as a final set tIement would come when the normal rate of exchange has been re-estab- lished

ONLY WILSON'S FOURTEEN

Erzberger Warns Further Loading Will Not Be Con

 ALsSACE-LORRAINE avs German People Have Unlimited Confidence in
 President Wilson.

Copenhagen, March 17 - If the Allies loaded the Peace Treaty with conditions qoinq beyond President Wilson's if points the German National Assembly would have to refuse it's assent to the treaty, Matthias ErZberger, head of the German arnistice commission declared in an address at a Berlin meet ing in fav0ring the formation of q real League of Nations," according to a despatch from the German capitol today. The matter then would be left to a referendum of the German na- ton, he said.
 Herr Erzberger discIaimed any ob1i- gation upon Germany to give com pensadon for acts she committed after her first peace offer in Decem- Der, 1916
 He declared the only means of checking Bolshevism was the aban- dennent Of the mailed list policy of the Allies"
 The German people, he said, had almost unlimited confidence in Presi- dent Wilson, and he hoped that the League of Nations covenant as pro- mulGated on February fl would not be finally adopted, as, he declared 1t was compromise of the ideals of President Wilson with the imperial istic aspirations of some of the Allies. The American President Herr Erz- berger insisted, was under obIigations to advocate the immediate admission of Germany to the league. Herr Erzberger asserted that Ger many was prepared to accept the vote of Alsace-Dorraine as to its r1- ture, but he referred to the reported aspirations Of France respecting the Rhinelar2d and to Poiand's claims to Danzig as 'tcrimes,'' adding: What is German will remain Cor man"
 AS far as the demands for compen- sation were concerned, Herr NSber- ger declared that Germany would re- 3ect any demand that applied to acts committed after December 1916, when Germany made her first peace offer. There was no moral obltSatgipS1 upon Germany regarding eompe nsst3ou aside from the case of Belgium the speaker argued. In that case Ger many would act honestly. he said.

PACKING THE PACKAGES.

One of the biggest but least talked
of 81 a year men at Washington was
Arthur M. Hinman of the Al. M. Hin
man corporation, New York City.
Mr.. Hinman was and is in the busi-
ness of compressing goods to a "high
density" into smaller space than they
occupied before, and of packing them
for EXPORT. The government started
exporting goods on colossal scale,
and did export more goods in a given
space of time than any country ever
before exported. The government,
through its war industries board, heard
of Mr.. Hinman and asked him to come
to Washington and show them how
it was done.
The Hinnan process, SO called, is
simplicity itself Tt consists of TAX
ing loosely packed goods of any kind
blankets, coats, oversoats, breeches,
leggings, underwear, slickers, hosiery,
tents, ETC., in fact, anything in the dry
goods line, besides paper, hops, hay,
anything compressible- placing them

covering them with burlap or other
bagging, and tightly securing them
with iron or wire bands.
At the Hinman plant on White st.
there are two five story buildings and
six big hydraulic presses constantly
at work squeezing big packages into
little packages. During the war, the
business of his plant reached enor-
nous proportions. At the same time
at other places and at other ports
throughout the country, the same
thing was going on according to the
methods inaugurateded by Mr.. Hin
man.

BOLSHEvIsM 80 YEARS AGO.
Gustavus Myers in The Review.

Gustavus Myers in The Review.
Bolshevism may appear strlkingly
new to this generation. But it is an
old story in the annals of American
history. The only new thing about
its present revival is its name. The
essentials of it are antique. Ninety
and more years ago they were widely
urged in the United States by the So
called communists. The American
workmen were not only pressed to rise
and create a system based upon them,
but q deliberate attempt was made
to manipulate the workers organiza-
tions in favor of the plan. The AM
erican workjngmen rejected the pro-
cram. and did so after giving it the
fullest consideration.
There were many obvious resem-
hlances between the communist agita-
tion of 1826-1834 and the bolshevism
of today. Both denounce the profes-
rional class, although. like the bolshe-
vism Of these days, the movement of
nearly a century ago was led exclu-
sively by professional theorists. The
project of dispensing with technical
The Redwood gazette., 1919-10-15

or administrative skill in the indus
tries was then clearly implied and
the supremacy of manual labor then
preached is the precise dogma upon
which modern bolshevism bases the
fierce demand for "a dictatorship of
the proletariat." In these respects,
and obviously in many others, the COM
munism of 90 years ago bore striking
resemblances to the bolshevist pro-
gram. but the world in which it found
itself was very different one from
ours, and we have yet to learn how
speedily the present movement will
spend itself or find new forms of ex-
preston.
