PRICE TWO CENTS WEDGE DRIVEN FOR CREATING WORLD LEAGUE Future Must Care for Rest, but Foundation Is Being Laid WILSON COMPROMISE SHOWN IN PUBLICITY French Conservative Press Chuckles at Dream Suc cumbing to Reality LMOCRACY BIG ISSUE Executive to Meet France's Demand That He Visit Devastated Zone By CLINTON W. GILBERT Staff Cnrrepondent of the Krenlng Pub lic Ledger With the Pence Uele Ration In Kurope By Special Cable Copyright. 1919. bv Public Lcdgrr Co. Paris, Jan. 20. The first session of the Peace Conference has opened with all the circumstances of com plete publicity, but one dreads a Clemenceau who comes bearing such generous gifts of frankness. The pre3s trooped in in great num bers, crowding the room adjoining the Hall of the Clocks, from which sounds and sights emerged through narrow archways. Nothing happened at the meeting that all the- world might not have been invited to see, and the sus- v picion exists that the press will be present at all similiar harmless neetings when, outwardly, unanim ity has been achieved. The conservative French press to- flay chuckles over the result of the publicity dispute, hardly disguising Its amusement over what it regards Fas a defeat for President Wilson. fit speaks of "the dream coming in contact with reality," and says it i" always so with those who would ' reform tho world. This part of the .French press says the conference will go exactly like all previous peace conferences However, the press lias been ad mitted to the conference, and al though doubtless this is merely a factitious publicity, still this is the first time such a step has been thought necessary at any peace congress. This victory for public opinion may be largely empty, but still it is a victory. Difference Is in Aims Making the League of Nations the first business of the convention f. and emphasizing the international labor problem, which vitally touches f the two questions convulsing Europe namely, early demobilization and : Bolshevism afford evidence that this conference is inspired by dif ferent purposes and has a different f point of view from the old peace congresses, where agents of dynas ties bartered with territories. ,, . . . , , . ine stress nere plainly is on the questions of democracy, not dynasties; on permanent peace; on improved social conditions; on the responsibility of the peace makers to thejeople. President Wilson's compromise on !' the publicity issue shows how easy compromise on all other issues, in cluding the League of Nations, will be to him. If "open cove nants openiy arrived at means settlement of world affairs by five K men in closest secrecy, with merely ultimate public exhibition of their decisions, international democracy means only whatever ifturns out to mean. One of President Wilson's closest l friends, when asked if President Wilson would win, said, "Yes, of course; but no one knows what he wants." French Press Chuckles The result in regard to publicity plainly is cheering to the conserva tive French press. When they laugh at "the dream coming in con tact with reality" it is because they expect the whole Wilson dream to undergo similar transforation when brought into contact with reality, although preserving the "dream form outwardly with a great .show of respect. Similarly an unquestionable out ward form of the idealized League .of Nations will be created, but what the inward significance will be only experience will disclose. The big significant fact now. how ever, is that the beginning of publicity has been made. The camel has his -head in tho Arab's tent.
