GREAT PEACE CONGRESS GETS UNDER WAY ON TUESDAY
. "
DECIDE TODAY WHETHER SES
~ SIONS SHALL BE SECRET
U. S. WANTS LEAGUE
America not Interested in
Territorial Ambitions, Lo
cal Quarrels of Europe or
Industrial Rivalries.
Paris, Jan. 13.—The first actual ses
sion of the peace conference is being
held today. Although officially desig
nated for one of the series of conver
sations for laying the ground work,
today’'s meeting is expected to make
a start on the question as to whetehr
the sessions shall be secret or pub
lic.
Nothing has developed to alter the
statement that the Americans are pri
marily concerned witht the creation
of a league of Nations and making a
just peace. Territorial ambitions and
local quarrels and economic rivalry
among European delegates is second
in the minds of the Americans.
Work Starts Tuesday
Paris, Jan. 13.—(8y the Associated
Press).-—The Supreme Coumncil of the
Peace Congress at yesterday’s session
took up the question of procedure for
the coming Congress sessions. It is
hoped the Council today wil lbe able
to finish their discussions of the ques
tions regarding 'the extension of the
armistice which were begun yester
day, and that it will perhaps also‘
reach an -agreement -on- the Peace
Conference program. }
If so, it is probable that the firsti
preparatory meetitng will be held
Tuesday afternoon. ’ ‘
More than 48,000,000 acres of culti
vated land in India are under irriga
tion. |
