Parts, France, Dec. 19. The conserva
tive Journal Des Bata publish? a criti
cism of the allied statesmen for hav
ing allowed so much tins to elapse
without accomplishing anything toward
peace. The article Is causing a sensa
tion In. diplomatic circles. '
"In- St days," says the paper, "they
could at least have agreed on the es
sential conditions of peace with Ger
many.1: : ;
' "Whole Armies of Specialists
; "Responsible statesmen should long
ago have bad the solutldns all ready in
.their heads.. It appears, however, that
this is not the ' case. The arrival in
Paris is announced of regiments of all
kinds of specialists belonging to the va
rtous' administrations of the allied states
and the debarkation of hundreds of
tons of archives.
"Air, these men and this paper are
going to encumber for months the Paris
hotels in which travelers even now are
unable to find room. Not only are the
archives of two hemispheres being
"'" dumped into the hotel bedrooms, but a
British printing plant Is being erected
on the lawns of the Bols de Bologne,
If each allied bureaucracy wants an es
pecial .factory to Inundate us -with sup
plementary printed matter, Paris, which
escaped from the Oothas and Berthas,
will succumb under the weight of paper
- and the Invasion of bureaucrats.
, Smothered by Diplomats
"In the meanwhile the Parisian news
papers, whose duty it is to inform our
public and defend our interests, will
continue, to be reduced to two pages
three or four times a week because of
the lack of paper. Pure madness." Never
has emptiness of brains more clearly
appeared. It looks as if we were going
to flounder indefinitely in diplomatic
opportunism.
"The multitude of specialists and
pyramids of portfolios are going to sub
merge us in inexpressible confusion
Each will desire to justify 'his presence
and use his portfolios. Kach will out
line his own solution. We are greatly
flattered to have among us so many
friends disposed to collaborate In the
preparation of .peace, but in our opinion
their chiefs would have acted wiser In
leaving them home and Impregnating
themselves simply with the conclusions
of thel reports. '
Paris Makes Protest
"If the plenipotentiaries have not
already precise Ideas on preliminary
conditions they never will have. For
each of them a few collaborators with a
valise full 'of documents would be suf
ficient, In the interests of the peace
of the world and the tranquility of
Parisians we beseech .that this bureau
cratic invasion be stopped."

Few returns have been made by t the
industrial division So far, but as Thurs
day is pay day at most of the big plants
and yards, 'Friday reports are expected
to be most substantial. Outside of Port
land, inr Multnomah county, there have
been approx Imately 2500 members en

Spence Wortman to all district' sealers.

Outdo-Paris' 'Reception to
American President
London.1 Dec 19.-MI. N. S.) British
labor will welcome President Wilson to
London as "the "leader i of world-wide
democracy," according .to a message
sent to him today by Arthur Henderson
in behalf of the trades union congress.
Mr. Henderson promised, the support of
all British labor leaders in the presi
dent's fight for a league of nations and
also for 'reduction of armaments . and
the suppression of secret treaties and
secret "diplomacy, t , : , . : ' '
London, Dec.: 19. (U. P.) London in
tends to eclipse Paris welcome to Presi
dent Wilson in the same degree that its
population exceeds that of the French
capital, v .- - -' )
While great numbers of organisations,
political and non-polltlcal, have already
considered separate demonstrations in
Wilson's honor, it is believed they ulti
mately will forlow the example provided
by Paris and combine in one big cele-
bratlon.' .' - ' ' ' . v
- The government, of course, will pro
vide the president' with every official
attention, but it is London's millions
who will furnish the real welcome.
Wilson's visit, however, will be much
more than a holiday, since he will ar
rive in the midst of an increasingly
warm discission regarding the allies'
Russian policy. . It is practically certain
his counsel will be sought in this regard.
It is almost equally certain he will be
urged to define. in more detail his atti
tude concerning freedom of the seas and
enlarge on his plan for the League of
Nations.
Beneath the surface of social atten
tions ' which will be .showered upon
President and Mrs. Wilson in the . form
of parades, banquets, speeches, memori
als and general felicitations, it is evi
dent, therefore," much of the preliminary
work of the peac i conference will be
transacted here.
