WILSON ROUNDING OUT
INTERNATIONAL LABOR
Said To Believe That No Peace
Is Possible Until Certain
Competitions End.
By Bobert J. Bender
(United Press staff correspondent)
JParis, Jan. 20. With the American
plan for tho loaguo of nations complet
ed, President Wilson was rounding out
hU program Ifor international laHor
legislation today.
Tho president s position is said to be
that no peace is possible until the
thrfat of .economic competition which
might destroy the .sufegunrds of lubor
is ended. It was expected thnt ho
would make some public declaration at
his views in this regard in the two
speeches he was to make today. The
addresses wore to ibe delivered at a
luncheon .tendered him by tho French,
senate and upon the occasion of his
attending a session of the chamber of
deputies.
Tho American program for labor leg
islation, it is understood, provides for
incorporation of several vital princi
ples in the peace treaty, including the
international child labor law. protect
ion for women workers, regulation of
working conditions and an agreement
on tho huliis. Of lab" to constitute a
hrfiiversal work day. In irfsr speech? in
Italy tho president emphasized the im
portance of tho influence of labor on
world opinion and made plain that la
bor must be fully recognized in the
peace negotiations.
Based on Careful Study
The league of nations plan of the
American delegation is based on care
ful study of its own allied ideas.
Allied authorities familiar with tho
plan say it is the best yet promulgat-'j
od. It embodies many of the reaturcs
of the General Smuts progTam aim in
cludes many of the details of the Brit
ish plan. The American plan, it is un
derstood, provides that the present as
sociated powers shall constitute tho
nucleus of the league and that every
free nation shall have the right of
membership. There is a provision for
arbitration, with compulsory measures
which would prevent tho outbreak or
war pending reports of the arbitrators,

would be taken into the league when
they have stabilized their governments
and the league weukt afford every pos
sible aid to both nations, the president
feeling that peace would foe useless
with half of Europe aflame with the
spirit of jealousy and revenge. Premier
Lloyd-George is said to fee unreserv
edly in agreement with this principle.
Aftor formation of the league there
would be a meeting of special dele;
gates to formulate a new international
code. In view of the attitude of the
allies, it may be stated that the presi
dent feels the outlook is favorable for
prompt consummation of the league.

That no definite understanding was

tnat tno council would continue its

This also seemed to dispose effectually
of tho "belief that the general peace
congress would resume its sessions to

that the council may dispose of itsi
business in time for the congress to
get under way in tho afternoon. ,

New York, Jan. 20. Governors of
many states, in interviows with the

way building and the erection of stato
flour mills and elevators will give work
t0 thousands. There may be unemploy
ment in other states but there will bo a
big shortago of farm Ichor here unless
thmwnnds of soldier farmers return."
Governor Burnquist of Minnesota, in
