(I'nlted Press Ktaff Corresoiulcnt.)
MANCIIRSTF.K. Jutland. Dec. 30.
President Wilson gave warning to
day that America will Join no combi
nation or alliance except a League of
Nations. Addressing SOOO working
men here he declared a League of
Nations must be the great covenant by
which all nations unite ."for the main
tenance of Uio triumlis of right."
Wild aimlauso greeted tUc statement.
"The United States has always felt
It must separate Itself from European
politics," Wilson said. "It Is not In
terested In European politics now, but
Is Interested In a partnership of right.
We will Join no combination or power
which is not a. combination of all of
us. We are not interested In the
. peace of Europe .but In the peaceof
the world. There must be no "bal
ance of power." The great voice of
humanity Is abroad In the world. If
any statesman resists the compulsion
of this conscience he will deeply re
gret it. We are not obeying parties
but the mandates of humanity."
The President admitted he bent
hope that individual Items of all
peace settlements will be satisfactory.
He said no man knows positively Junt
what these settlements will be, but
provision must be made for adjust
ment of the difficulties In the future
so that troubles may be considered
when thoy are little, and are not al
lowed to grow big. Having been
made an honorary cltlsen,-' president
Wilson opened his speech by address
ing his audience: "Fellow cltlsens of
Manchester." Wilson declared the
spirit of sympathy between the peo
ple of America and Britain Is no mere
sentiment but Is based on principle.
"History alone can comprehend the
stupendous effort of America." he as
serted during his speech. The crowd
showed what they thought of Presi
dent Wilson by singing "For He's n
.Jolly flood Fellow." The workmen
then gave Mrs. Wilson a Special cheer.
Wilson carried his peace message
Into the hsart of England's .Industrial
center when he addressed the work
lngmon In Free Trade hall. He was
received with wildest enthusiasm.
From early morning the streets were
thronged In anticipation of the Presi
dent's appearance. He. and his Im
mediate party arrived here from Car
lisle late yesterday spending the night
as guests of the Lord Mayor. Wllnon
rose early . and started for the hull nt
9:30. He was mode an honorary cltl
xen of Manchester at the town hall.
Going to Free Trade hall, he delivered
his second formal public address in
Kngland. He was given a great ova
tion as he rode throught the streets.
The President appeared to enjoy the
freedom from the seml-restralnt of
the regal atmosphere of London. His
adaptability was never more apparent
than today.

CHEAPER FLOUR MAY
RESULT FROM MOVE:
Henuival of restrictions by. the fed
eral food administration upon prices
for mill feeds has resulted in a largo
Increase. In Pendleton the advance
has been from $29 per ton to $35 a
ton.
While the food administration has
permitted the increase in mill feed
prices control of the mills and regu
lations of the net profits of milling
company's is still held. The result
of this It is thought will permit of
a "reduction In the price of flour a
with the increased price for milt
feed and the regulation of the nt
profits for the mills will cause a cor
responding" reduction upon flour.
However, this is a mutter the mill!
now have before the fond adminis

nothing can be done.

clared on the floor of the senate. "God
only knows how many lives were sac

Now that the lid has been lifted, we
have learned that every charge made
by the military committee a year ago
was true.' He read Pershing's state

lack of equipment ordnance In the
early days of the war was as great as
had been pictured.
Beading further from Pershing's re

battle of St. Mihiel the American
army -was dependent on tne rrencn
and Britih both for artillery and air
craft." He quoted Charles E. Hughes
report on the aircraft investigation,
concerning misleading statements
given the public regarding the ship

France. He said the American peo
ple were led to believe we were send
