Every Party and Interest Now
Claiming Wilson for Its Plans
B s W e . T
PARIS, Dec. 12—Rumor is busys
with President Wilson’s plans and in- ’
tentions even before he lands in |
France. Every party and interest|
that hopes to exploit him for its own |
ends seems anxious to peg out its
own claim in advance.
Those best qualified to judge doubt
whether the President will regard
himself as the special perquisite of
any party interest or nation.
His, plans are believed not to be
cdeflnitely fixed, but one thing is cer
tain: the French Government holds
itself bound by every consideration of
la\ct and courtesy to leave him free to
do exactly as he likes, He will be
welcomed not only by the Govern
ment as representing the French na
tion, but by the French people them
selves, without distinction of party or
organizations.
There is today a notable reaction
in the press against the efforts of the
Confederation of Labor to hallmark
him at the very outset as their very
own. In each direction circumsiantial
accounts already have been published

of Mr. Wilson's impending visit to
Italy, specially to the Vatican.
These are made to look premature
by a definite denial from Nelson
Pa‘e that he has announced to the
Papal secretary of state President
Wilson's intention to visit the Pope
on December 22, Mr., Page adds that
neither he nor any member of his
embassy has taken any such step, and
that no statement with regard to
President Wieon's eventual visit to
Italy has been made by him or any
one in his name.
Conversation between the President
and heads of the Allied Governments
are likely to be so important that
President Wilson may not wish to in
terrupt them by tiring spectacular
journeys. It is believed he is deter
mined to lose no time in placing the
formation of a practical League of
Nations before the Allied Govern
ments, so that all special problems
relating to the Allied peace terms
may be viewed in the light of deci
sions taken on this road.

pan-German spirit still lives is at
tested by the appearance hLere of u
large amount of “KEnglish Hyphen
American News,” in a four-page,
five-column bi-weekiy paper, as pub
fishgd at No. 114 Lindenstasse, Ber

tary writer of Inglish-Irish descent.”
All the news printed is anti-Brit

nuity being sxpended in selecting ex

before the visiting journalists, pur
porting to show readers the Irish st.

soldiers in Ireland, and that the Brit

drastic censorship,
One of the headlines on the front
page reads, “Cocky War Prisoners

Newspaper.” Another article lays
stress on the alleged British coal
shortage. The caption, “French Grat
itude to America,” covers a cock and
bull story of the arrest in Parls or
French citizens accused of causing ill
feeling toward America. This arti
cle, which may cause American mili
tary authorities to forbid the circula
tion of the paper within the area oc
cupied by American troops, says: “It

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13,—~The |
übiquitous, vet often elusive, cost of !
meat will be thoroughly probed by the |
House interstate and foreign unu-!
merce committee Representative |
Thetaus W, Sims, of Tennesser, chair- |
man, announced today. i
Sims stated the committee would
start public hearings Thursday, De- |
cember 19, on the Federal trade com
mission bill to place the transport:
tion and distribution of all live stock
and meat products in this country un- |
der either Government supervision |
control or ownership. :
Sims explained that he had intro- |
duced the bill in the House after it
had been prepared by the Federal |
trade commission, with the sanction |
of President Wilson |
Invites Full Publicity. |
“We invite the fullest publicity re
garding the conditions under whicl l
meat ig produced and consumed in!
the United States,” Sims said, '
“While we are starting with the in
vestigation by the Federal trade com
mission of meat-packing conditions in
this eountry as a basis, we desire to
go even further in our efforts to de
termine just how much meat prices
may be readjusted so the American
people can buy meat without having
to figure up its cost every time a ‘sir
loin' or a ‘tenderloin’ ig desired b
them That is our sole object, and
we are bound to attain it.,”
Sims sald it was his desire to “ex
ercise the utmost faipness” toward all,
interests involved 1
“And,” Sims sald in conclusion, “T
would like this emphasized-—we want
everybody, the producer and the Hm~l
sumer of meat--to feel that we de I
sire to arrive at the truth, That is our |
one purpose”™ '
Committee Members, |
Infferences of opinion have alregdy |
arisen among the menbers of the
committee as to Just how far the com
mittee's investigation of meat should
proceed. But Sims said: “Tt will pro- |
