President Finds
Big Tasks Ahead
President Wilson, returning to tho
United State this week, Is confront
ed with many Important Issues.
A great number of bills are on U
desk at the White House awaiting
signature. In addition, he Is ex
pected to name a charge d'affaires
fcr the American embassy In Berlin,
consult with Secretary Redfleld with
regard to resumption of commercial
relations with Germany, after the
lradlngwjth-the-enemy law expires
upon proclamation of peace; tuke
action on the persistently reported
desire of Secretary Baker to retire;
to decide when demobilization will
be ended: and war prohibition may
lie lifted and take a' band In plans
for returning the railroads to their
owners.
Among; the bills before him are
the sundry civil, army and navy,
general deficiency, the act return
ing telegraph systems- to their own
ers and the agricultural appropria
tion bill. The latter contains jthe
clause repealing the daylight saving.
Petitions have been received against
this; repeal The president's atti
tude toward It is not known.
Immediately upon bis return to
Washington he is expected to call
an important meeting at which for
the first time In months he will dis
cuss domestic affairs with his offi
cial advisers. -
- Early decision Is looked for on
the question whether peace may be
proclaimed at once or not until after j
the senate has ratified the peace
treaty.
Demands for removal of Post mast
er General Burleson, some of which
have taken the form of petitions, aro
not believed likely to move the pres
Ident to action.
Friends of Eugene V. Debs and
lotlijer flmprlsonedi rakllonla are ex
pected to soon take their appeals to
the White House.
The 1920 presidential campaign Is
already beginning to loom and some
expression from the president as to
a third term may be forthcoming,
noma observers believe. An utter
ance he made In a speech in Paris
has been taken in some quarters hero
as being a hint that he did not want
anothor term.
