English Going to Conference With
I Proposals Ready, but Wilson's
:. Plans Are Causing Anxiety.
BY JOSEPH W. GRIGG.
(Copyright by Tho New York World, Pub
lished by Arrangement.)
LONDON, Dec. 23. (Special.) There
la a growing belief in many quarters
that the Associated Powers will agree
on a preliminary peace structure erect
ed upon a league of nations foundation,
thus insuring a quicker demobilization
and return to normal business con
ditions. Those who voice this opinion
say it will leave the subsidiary Issues
for determination after the actual
peace era comes.
Not only do the strongest advocates
of the league of nations in this country
ee complete agreement between the
United States and Great Britain on fu
ture naval policies in the adoption of
& league of nations foundation for
peace, but many who hae been apa
thetic about the league have a strong
feeling now that it will be the eventual
means of solving the whole naval is
sue and the biggest rallying point for
American and British strength in the
counsels of the world and for the fu
ture of their own relationship.
Britain la Prepared.
Everything indicates that Britain Is
going to the peace conference with
the league of nations scheme well
worked out in advance, for persons
close to Lord Cecil Robert say that the
late under secretary .of state and block
ade minister has long been busy .with
the ablest assistants in evolving a
plan.
Although some persons here may
have had the idea that President Wil
eon will be influenced by personal con
tact with the war area and tighten
up in his demands for Justice, this con
clusion finds little support among
thinking men ' of any class, because
the Wilsonian policy throughout the
war has been based on principles and,
though he may tighten or loosen up on
details, his principles will remain the
V.ame. ,
His reception In Paris as well as his
speeches have restored the proper per
spective it) some quarters here and
liave only served to strengthen the
convictions of his British supporters
that, eventually, his main principles
will find acceptance.
Lobor Moves Carefully.
British labor, according to its rep
resentatives. Is standing whole-heartedly
behind the President, but is mov
ing carefully in order not to embarrass
him, which may be the guiding prin
ciple on which It will act when he
comes here. Labor will take its part
in the national demonstration as any
other class when the President arrives
In London.
liegardiess of politics the press here
Is strongly advocating the lifting of
the censorship during the whole peace
.uiiicicutoi wueiiier it w in Luc pre
liminary Btages or not.
The Liberal Manchester Guardian
says the monthly magazines are pro
hibited by official edict from discuss
ing the -possible issues of the confer
ence and is pointing to the freedom
of the American press. The Tory
Morning Post is calling for the same
thing.
The position of Russia at the con
ference is being earnestly considered
here, and it is believed it will un
doubtedly engage the immediate con
sideration of President Wilson and the
allied leaders at the preliminary meet
Ings. CENTRALIA AIDS ORPHANS
City Follows Example of Company
M, Now in France.
CENTRALIA, Wash.. Dec. 23. (Spe
cial.) How Centralia adopted two
French war orphans is told at length
in a story appearing In the issue of the
Stars and Stripes on October 26.
The first military organization In
France to adont ornhans w k rnmnanv
M, 161at Infants, composed largely of
Centralia boys. When word of the
adoption reached Centralia, a purse of
5200 was raised to assist the soldiers
In supporting their "children." It was
used to adopt two more orphans in the
name of the city.
Centralla's orphans are Fabien Ban
dart, aged 13 years, whose father died
on May 16. 1917. of wounds received in
action, and Esperance Serive, aged 10
years, whose father was killed In ac
tion in July. 191.
GOBLENZ TRADE IS DOLL
MERCHANTS LOOK WITH APPRE
HENSION TO FTJTCRE.
Entrance Into New Enterprises Is
Feared With Present ITnstable
Situation in Germany.
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY OF
OCCUPATION, Dec. 22. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) The feeling among the
merchants of Coblenz is that It Is un
safe to risk Investments until Ger
many's 5 future is assured. The mer
chants Say they have much to lose and'
little to gain by venturing upon new
enterprises while Germany is isolated
from the remainder of the world and
still is unsettled as to the labor supply
and industrial legislation.
While the Americans have done con
siderable Christmas shopping .in Co
blenz, among the Coblenz bankers busi
ness is considered dull and money easy.
Dealers in most lines have sold virtually
all their stocks and the money is now
idle. The chief of the Coblenz Bankers'
Association estimates that prior to the
signing of the armistice the business
activity was about 60 per cent of its
peace time volume, but that since then
it has dropped until now it is about 45
per cent. No improvement In business
is expected until after the national con
stitutional assembly.
The dullness in business has its natural-
counterpart in wages, and com
plaints are heard that hours are long
and wages low. The merchants of
Mayen estimate that eight marks per
day is a. fair living wage, which will
permit of the support of a family. But
in the vicinity of Mayen stone quarry,
laborers receive five marks daily and
men factory workers the same amount.
The pay for women employes in fac
tories is less.
In Coblenz the wage- Is higher, but
work harder to obtain, as there Is a
more marked tendency than usual for
labor to congregate in the cities. This
leaves a relative shortage in agricul
tural labor, although the returning sol
diers may remedy this situation in the
various rural districts.

Russian Leader Exposes Attitude
and Actions of ex-Minister at
Brest-Litovsk Conference.
LONDON, Dec. 23. (British Wireless
Service.) Leon Trotzky, Russian Bol
shevist Minister of War and Marine,
has made a statement regarding the
recent efforts of Count Czernin, for
mer Austro-Hungarian- Minister of For
eign Affairs, to excuse himself for the
part he played in the negotiation of
the Brest-Litovsk treaty.
"Count Czernin," says Trotzky, "in
sists now very strongly upon a differ
ence between a policy of Dr. Richard
von Kuehlmann, (former German For
eign Secretary), an d his own. We have
actually noticed between them some
difference, but this difference was due
simply to the ftt that Von Kuehlmann
commanded and Czernin obeyed. It
would be more correct to say that Gen
eral Hoffmann (one of the German del
egates to Brest-Litovsk). gave orders
to Von Kuehlmann and that Von Kuehl
mann conveyed them to Czernin.
"Czernin now discloses that it was
his conviction . that it was - necessary
that Poland, Lithuania and Courland
should themselves determine their fu
ture government.
"In the Brest-Litovsk negotiations
Czernin did not in any way display this
conviction.
"When General Hoffmann wanted to
express in especially cynical form, con
tempt of the victors for self-determination
of peoples, Von Kuehlmann charged
Czernin with this task and Czernin,
carried it out." .

Speaker at New York Banquet Says
America Should Make Germany
Pay lor Cost of War.
NEW YORK. Dec 23. Asserting that
President Wilson had sailed for Eu
rope "in eager pursuit" of the en
tangling alliance against' which Wash
ington warned the Nation. Colonel
George Harvey denounced the league of
nations plan in an address tonignt at
the 113th annual dinner of the New
England Society of the City CI isew
York.
"Would we not better still the fer
ment in Mexico and Peru and Chile and
San Domingo and Costa Rica?" Colonel
Harvey demanded, "before attempting
to foist everlasting peace upon the
Balkans? Have we no vital -problems
within our own boundaries crying for
solution?"
' Webater'n Words Recalled. .
Recalling a "precisely similar al
liance that came into existence 'ln
1843." Colonel Harvey quoted Daniel
Webster's speech, in which he opposed
the preservation of peace "by bringing
the power of all governments to bear
upon all subiects.
"Have times so changed, he asked,
that we owe it to humanity to toss
our cherished republic into a melting
pot to be mashed into a pulp of inter
national socialism
Colonel Harvey also opposed the pro
gramme of "no Indemnities" for the
United States, asserting that for the
United States to refrain from collect
ing the nearly J30.000, 000,000 the war
has cost would be tantamount to a
'voluntary contribution to the war fund
of Germany."
Retirement Deemed Not Too Late.
Touching on the current argutnent
that the United States has too far de
parted from Washington's Injunction
against "entangling alliances" again
to drop out of European politics. Col
onel Harvey asserted Washington had
specifically declared in favor of "tem
porary alliances for extraordinary
emergencies."
We may rest assured, moreover.
he continued, "that the thought would
not have occurred to him to give an
honorable alliance an aspect of aloof
ness and distrust by designating it with
ostentatious caution as a mere and
unique 'association.' "
America, today, he maintained, is
"in no way yet committed by a single
step further along the meddlesome path
of intrusion."

CREDIT NEEOSJRE GREAT
INCREASED DEMAND FOR FA
CILITIES IS FORESEEN.
British Committee Report Points to
Necessities During Period
of Reconstruction.
LONDON. Dec 23. There will be an
increased demand for credit facilities
during the reconstruction period, and
the ability of trade and industry gen
erally to provide for Its financial needs
will depend largely on the amount of
reserves It has been possible to ac
cumulate, says the report of the com
mittee on the provision of financial
facilities for trade after the war, is
sued today by the ministry of recon
struction. The committee is under the
chairmanship of Sir R. V. Vassar-
Smith, chairman of Lloyd s Bank.
To achieve the reconstruction of
trade and Industry on sound finan
cial and economic lines, the report con
tinues. It will be necessary to re
establish a sund financial basis by
means of an effective gold standard
to check any undue expansion of credit
and to take steps to reduce the infla
tion of credit to more normal propor
tions. The banks will be in a posi
tion to meet demands for ordinary
banking facilities.
Commenting on the extension of
credit and paper currency the commit
tee says that, whereas the total de
posits at the banks of the United
Kingdom, exclusive of the Bank of
England, at the end of 1913 amounted
to 1.070,000.000 sterling, the amount of
deposits now is nearly 2.000, OwO.000.
The committee says it Is essential
for the reconstitutlon of Industry and
commerco to impose restrictions as
soon as possible upon the creation of
additional credit by the restoration of
an effective gold standard.
A special committee of the London
Chamber of Commerce agrees that the
peace terms should compel Germany to
make the ru'lept restitution for all
allied tonnage and cargoes sunk by
enemy action, such reparation to be
made In ships, Westphalian coal or
money. The committee would compel
Germany to furnish France with coal
until the deliberately wrecked French
mines are re-established and to com
pensate the relatives of all seamen and
passengers- murdered at sea. .
This committee also proposes that,
as an act of justice to the allies, enemy
vessels be not allowed on the sea until
the fullest reparation has been made:
that no financially controlled enemy
tonnage be allowed under neutral
flags, and that no coaling stations
owned or controlled by subjects of
enemy countries be permitted in Brit
ish or allied ports or possessions.

LONDON". Dec. 25. Reliance on
President Wilson to persuade the en
tente powers to deal with Germany o
that a stable, orderly government may
bo assured. Is urged by Theodore
Wolff, editor of the Berlin Tageblatt.
in a remarkable Interview given by
him to the correspondent of the Copen
hagen Pollttken and telegraphed here
to. the daily express.
"Had we supposed we were to be
given over to brutal might," he said,
"our course might have been different.
Our front was unbroken at the time
of the armistice.
"We stand fast by President Wilson's
prosrranime. counting on real peace ne
gotiations, not on a dictation of peace
terms, and we count on the President
to persist in that programme.
"We shall demand that Alsace-Lorraine
bo given the privilege of voting
and determining for itself its future
government. And we shall urge the
same privileges for the German eastern
provinces and for German Austria-
"If the entente suppose that Germany
has been so humbled as to be power
less it is a mistaken impression, for
6'J.000.000 people will not be cowed In
definitely by threats. Germany will
rise again and will be a strong factor
in the European family. Her central
position is dominating and she cannot
be held down."
