U. S. MUST BE IN PEACE
As She Was in the War, Was Comment
in London Newspapers.

London, Feb. 26.-Comment on Presi
dent Wilson's Boston speech takes first
place on the editorial pages of this
mornings London newspapers. They
unite in expressing the hope that the
presidents appeal for support of the
league of nations will meet with a ia.
vorable response in the United States.
I'VE can be as confident as President
Wilson is" says The Daily Mail that
their generous impulse, DISTINGUISHED
ness and guidance will not fail his peo-
pie now, but rather gain strength and
permanence, as the need for it was new
er greater. The alternative is that the
United States should return to her ira
ditional isolation and regard the welter
of Europe from afar. Such decision is
unthinkable. The United States is in
the war; she must be in the peace"
The Daily News says:
president Wilson knows that Amer
lea has {, My begun its task and that the
breach with Washington's policy is final.
Every pacific interest in
Europe will be with the president in his
appeal to his people. We do not think
that the appeal will be in vain, for the
president has a grand gospel and knows
how to preach it frankly"
The Daily Telegraph says: "The de-
liberations of the peace conference CON
stitute a signal to the world that it is at
the crossroads in its destiny. The pres
ident is not wrong in assuming that Flu
rope looks toward the people of the Unit
ed States with new confidence
Of Americas sympathy with the essen
tial ideals for which President Wilson is
laboring so devotedly none need have
any doubt, and we are confident she viii
continue to take her full share in the
great task of regeneration which con.
fronts the world"
The Daily Chronicle says of the Pres
idents speech:
Gle appeals to America for the first
time to play her part in policing the um-
settled territories of the old world and
protecting the young nations If he
succeeds in carrying his people with him
in this new crusade he will have sue
ceeded in rendering a second service to
mankind as great as that in bringing in
the United States to finish the war"

VT. PLAN TO FIGHT TUBERCULOSIS
Approved and Subsidized by National
Tuberculosis Association.

The executive committee of the Ma
tional tuberculosis association voted to
approve a plan submitted by the Yer
mont Tuberculosis association entitled,
"a Plan for An Intensive Campaign
Against tuberculosis" and also to ap.
propriate 81 500 from the missionary
fund from the national association to aid
in developing the plan. The executive
committee Of the National tuberculosis
association went over the plan with con-
siderable care. Criticisms were made
over some of the details, but the general
scheme appealed to them as an effort to-
wards solving a problem Of tuberculosis
in small cities and towns that was wor-
thy of their support.
The plans were written by H. w Slo.
cum, secretary of the Vermont Tuber
eulosis association. They included the
opening Of a public health dispensary
which win offer expert physical examina-
tion to all, but will be particularly in
terested in the examination OF those who
have been exposed to tuberculosis. 1t
furnishes the services of an expert nurse
in homes where there is tuberculosis 1t
also provides for an intensive education
al campaign along health lines to be car
red on in various homes for the people
of a limited district.
One Of the important features of the
plan is to organize public welfare com
mittee and TO give to the members Of
this committee a course on welfare work
and have them actually do this kind Of
work with the help of experts. In this
way, by the time the association has
finished with a limited district there will
be left an organization trained to care
for every case of need in the most eff
fective and economical way,
If the plan works out successfully,
ultimately the whole state of Vermont
will be covered by intensive work in
limited districts aud in each district
there will be organized a trained welfare
organization. Ii this is brought about
Vermont will take leading place in the
country in the solution of the welfare
problem in rural communities.
IL. W. SlOcum has been working on the
plan for a number of months. He has
visited a number of clinics in various
parts of the country. and consulted on
various items with physicians and social
workers in Vermont and from other sec
tions of the country. He states that he
is confident that the plan will be success
full provided the best people of the va
rious parts of the state will enthusiast
cally respond to this opportunity to sys-
tematically and effectively help the peo-
pie in their own country.

PROPORTIONAL REPRESENTATION
Worked Out With Success in One Irish
Corporation.

Berlin, Feb 27-The recent elections
for Sligo corporation were conducted un-
der proportional representation. In Sligo
the Sim Feiners are in an overwhelming
majority, and under normal conditions
virtually would have moopolized the
council But the result Of proportional
representation was to divide up the
membership, giving representation to mi
norities and actually returning a Union
list at the head OF the poll. This expert
ence has increased the activity of the
Irish Proportional Representation society,
which hopes to induce the government
to have the principle extended to all
Irish elections.

justify increases at Hog Island. He add

Lowell and the Language.

John Galsworthy in his address for the
Lowell centenary does not exaggerate
the linguistic and literary element in the
service rendered by Lowell as America S
representative in Great Britain. The time
was ripe for just such a cultural mission,
and the United States was fortunate in
deed in, having a man of letters whose
qualifications commanded respect even
in England. In general the English have
not been conspicuously enthusiastic
about the use made of their language in
America. Even in LoweIps day, to be
sure, it could no longer be asked who
reads an American book Z" Yet favor was

Pres. Wilson Told at White
House Dinner Con-
ference
WHOLE PLAN MAY FAIL
IF AMERICA STAYS OUT
Admits That M emb Der ship
Comedies Some Sow
ereignty

Washington, D. c., Feb. 27.--Renewed
discussion Of the league of nations to-
day in Capitol cloakrooms and corridors
followed the White House dinner confer
ence last night at which President Will
son outlined the reasons upon which he
predicates his belief that the future peace
of the world rests upon such an organ
| ization.
Republicans opposed to the league
plan, however, apparently had not
changed their views and they will con-
tinue to voice their opposition in the
Senate until Congress adiourns on next
Tuesday.
The president told the senators and
representatives that unless America
joined the league the whole plan would
! fail and that utter chaos would result in
Europe. He pointed out that half doz-
en- new nations had come from the cruc-
ible of the great war and said the strong
er countries must combine to help and
guide them until they were able to stand
alone.
Success Of the entire plan, the presi-
dent was quoted as saying, depended
upon the friendship of America, Great
Britain, France, Italy and Japan, and i'm
potence of the league might result from
the withdrawal Of any one Of them. He
said serious trouble between the five as
ISOLATED nations was unthinkable.
Conceding that membership in the
league carried with it the surrender, Of
some sovereignty, the president told his
guests that there could be no concert OF
nations to safeguard against war unless
each was willing TO make some conces-
sions.
Senator Brandegee Of Connecticut, Re-
publican, took the lead in questioning the
president Senators Lodge and Knox
contented themselves largely with listen
ing to the discussion. No secrecy was
imposed on the visitors, the president at
the outset emphasizing that they were
free to discuss afterwards what trans
PRED
The president was said to have de-
clared that America was free to with
draw from the league at any time; that
the Monroe doctrine was not contravened
because all signatory nations would be
obliged to uphold it; and that recon.
mendations of the executive council for
world disarmament could not become ef-
fective until each nation had approved
them and thus had been given voice in
the apportionment of such armament.
