coast. His plans are not as yet ma

cussed the plan with his advisers.
With congress out Of the way early
in March Mr.. Wilson would have an
opportunity for such tour before re-
turning to Europe should he follow his
original plan and II his return should
be necessary. He also would have time
for his proposed trip before tho

no plans for an extra session. but he
still holds to his idea OF returning TO
the peace congress, II II IL felt his pres
ence is necessary to the success Of the
