WILSON PLANS
UNITED STATES
TOUR ON RETURN
PARIS, Monday, Jan. 13. Presi
dent Wilson is considering a speaking
tour of the United States when he re
turns home. It is said that this trip
will take him into many of the prin
ciple cities, and It is possible he may
touch the Pacific coast.
With congress out of the way early
la March, Mr. Wilson would have an
opportunity for such a tour before re
turning to Europe should he follow
his original plan, and if his return
should be necessary. He would also
have time for his proposed trip be
fore the convening of an extraordinary
session of congress, should he decide
to call one. So far as known, Mr.
Wilson has no plans for an extra ses
sion, but he still holds to his idea of
returning to the peace congress If it
is felt his presence Is necessary to
the success of the league of nations.
