President Wilson Expresses His
Unwillingness to. Have Great
Powers , Settle All Questions.
By John Edwin Ncvin
PARIS, Jan. 14. (I. N. S.)
Tho question of representa
tion by the smaller nations at the
peace conference is looming up .
today as one of the biggest prob
lems confronting the commis
sioners of the "Big Four."
This question, it is understood,
was precipitated by President
Wilson, who expressed unwill
ingness to have the great pow
ers settle international questions
out 'of hand and then call in the
smaller nations and say: "Sign
here."
The matter may be settled at the
adjourned meeting of the supreme in
terallied council on Wednesday as well
as the number of plenipotentiaries that
will sit at the round table when the
peace conference opens at the for
eign office at 2 :30 o'clock Saturday
afternoon.
The reason that no session of the
council was held today was that the
French cabinet and the chamber of
deputies .were scheduled to meet.
Although there were no" formal con
ferences on President Wilson's pro
gram of activities today, he met and
talked informally with some of the
British, French and Italian states
men on problems that still lack a set
tlement, lie saw, also, some of the
members of the American commission
at the Hqtel Crillon and called upon
Colonel E. M. House, who Is sick In
bed and recovering.
The Americans have . secured the
consent of the allies for utilization
of German shipping (including- some
of f the- German - warships- turned ever

WILSON EXPECTED
TO TOUR AMERICA
President, It Is Believed, Wilt
Urge Before People Rati
fication of Peace Pact.
By Robert J. Bender
(Copyright. 1919. br th United Pre)
Paris, Jan. 14. President Wilson is
expected to go before the American peo
ple after the treaty Is signed to urge
its ratification and solidify support of
the new world thought It embodies.
Thus, shattering another, precedent, the
president would put the verdict of in
dorsement of .the peace settlement tip to
public opinion rather than to a hostile
congress. It was pointed out.
The belief was expressed by friends
today that Wilson wilt tour the country
late this fall, taking the opportunity to
urge new domestic policies that lend
themselves to .changing international
ideals. He Is expected to give the key
of his policy when he addresses congress
after bis return from Europe. His course
after that will be determined largely by
the attitude In Washington.
That the president will . return to
France to be present at the actual con
summation of peace seems to be a fore
gone conclusion. Much of his future do
mestic policy will rest on-the final de
tails of the peace settlement. He hopes
that peace wilt insure the possibility
of m new kind, of trader relations, Juiit
upejet friendship- ra&exi tifei upon treaties
and Jealousies.
The presence of iVance McCormlck,
Bernard Bafuch, Edward Hurley and
Charles Schwab in Paris wilt enable
Wilson to study domestic problems in
j elation to foreign affairs. He can ke-p
pace with developments and will be in a
position to arrive at a definite policy
that could be launched Immediately after
the treaty was signed.
The president brought the American
trade advisers and peace delegates to
gether for the first time at a dinner in
the Murat palace last night. I This was
believed to have resulted in steps toward
coordination of their work which will
continue in close relation as the nego
tiations progress.
Grain Men Demand
A Change in Law
Regulating Crops
Charging that the present laws and
regulations concerning the handling of
the 1919 wheat crop would not only ruin
the country dealer and' perhaps put the
country miller out' of business, as well
as demoralize the general trade, grain
men assembled at the annual meeting
of the Northwest Grain Dealers asso
ciation this morning at the Chamber of
Commerce, voiced their protest and de
manded a change.
Grain dealers claimed that under the
regulations the government purchased
wheat at established prices only at cer
tain city terminals and then was au
thorized to sell these supplies at what
ever the world's market basis was at
that point.
The country dealer could not pur
chase wheat Inthe country because he
must pay the government price and
then would be forced to resell in the de
moralized market at terminals. The
country miller would be In a similar
position in his wheat purchases but
would be forced to sell his flour at ter
minals on the basis of what would prob
ably be sharply lower wheat values. '
It was decided to change the date of
the annual meeting to the second week
In July Instead of in January.
