Old International Law
Worn Out, Wilson Says
Hy (he Associated Press
Paris, May 10. In n brief epi
grammatic speech nt a dinner last
night President Wilson touched on
the future role of international law
in the development of the new
order of things. He snitl:
"One of the things that has dis
turbed me in recent months," he
said, "is the unqualified hope men
have entertained everywhere of
immedintc emancipation from the
things that have hampered and
oppressed them. You cannot, in
human experience, rush into the
light. You have to go through
twilight, into the broadening day
before noon comes and the full sun
is on tho.lundscapc. We must see
to it that those who hope arc not
disappointed, by showing them the
processes by which the hope must
TAFT SEES R. R. AID i
Tariff Revision Also to Be Issue
in G. 0. P. Fight. Is Predic
tion of Former President
I
APPROVES WAR INQUIRY
, Tariff rcviwnu, and n program for aid
ing the railroads will b Mjrb points in
the Republican pint form for 1020,
farmer President William Howard Taft
believes.
He outlined his views on national
needs today just before he left for
Washington to visit Mrs. Taft. after
weeks pf nbsenco on a Victory Loan
tour,
Tho raiv outside, ns he finished ills
cggs..nnd4CtuTee.'ia-thft -RclujvucSlrat
ford breakfast room, had no effect on the
Taft smile. He beamed ns he approved
Sennlor Penrose's promise of the budget
system he had long fought for. He
twinkled when he said his health Is ns
good "ns a man with my conscience can
ejpcel."
"What wiH he the Republican parly
wage the 1020 fight on?" he wns nsUed
ns he finished his breakfast coffee,
"Tho party must take a stand on
the railroad question, that's clear," he
replied. "And then the tariff musl be
revised. When normal times return
business will be far different from what
it has been and the tariff laws of the
country must neccsxnfily be adjusted to
meet these new conditions."
Approves Probe of War
He was nsked wehtber he considered
the existence of the big merchant licet
a factor in determining the tariff policy.
I nni not sufficiently ncipinintcd with
the effect of our merchant fleet on con
ditions to say what it may mean to the
tariff, hut the party program will un
doubtedly include tariff revision to meet
our new needs."
Investigation of the. war Mid the
establishment of a budget system met
with his approval. These things have
betn proposed for the next congress by
Senator Penrose in n- .statement issued
esterday in Washington.
"I nm glad they nre-for the budget
now," lie smiled. "I hope they put
it through. You know how much I ham
mered that into their heads.
"It seems to me that nn investigation
of the whole conduct of the war is
really due tho public. An administra
tion that spent such large sums of
money nnd had such arbitrary power
owes an nccoiinting of its stewardship.
Not tliat I am criticizing nny particular
act. 1 merely see that in power lies
accountability to the public.
Urges Speedy Peace
"The most pressing need for the
country is speedy peace. The treaty
should be ratified us soon as possible.
Congress, of course, must first pass the
needed appropriation bills, but the rati
fication should follow. Until then the
domestic situation must be unsettled.
There is still a great deal of unemploy
ment and the people hesitate over the
existing high prices. Until things are
stabilized nnd they realize that the
prices must be paid there will be this
halting. Once it "is clear that the
prices will remain high, there will be u
rush ot business. We are on the verge
of prosperity, it Is starting already to
a surprising degree, but it cannot come
fully until peace shall, be ratified."
Mr. Toft was asked for his views
on the peace treaty. ' x
"Them arosoine things In it, such
ns the Chinese matter, which 1 might
wish different, but It seems to me ad
mirably to meet the necessities of pre
venting Germany from ever ngulu being
a mischief-maker. To the Germans It
seems hard. It perhaps is hard, but
Germany always was harder.
He had the usual jovial Taft smile
ready as answer to a question on tho
chances of his being the Republican
candldnte for President in 1020. Just
the Bmllo, 'and no word more,
He went to WiBhington at 8:32
o'clock to see Mrs. Taft. "That may
be merely an incident to wo public,
IN120PLATF1
but H Is' rattier important"
be realized the processes of law,
the processes of slow disentangle
ment from the many things that
have bound us in the past.
"The intelligent development of
international law will be one of the
things of most consequence to men
in the future. If we can now give
to international law the kind of
vitality it can have only if it is the
real expression of our moral judg
ment, we shnll have completed in
some sense the work which this
war was intended to emphasize."
The President concluded by say
ing: "In a sense the old interna
tional law is played out. The
future of mankind depends more
upon the relations of nations to
one another than upon the sep
arate and selfish development of
the national systems law."

Club, announced this afternoon that !
the Philadelphia ball park. Itroad nnd I
Huntingdon streets, will not be nvnil- I
able next Thursday as a place in which
to have the parading Twenty-eighth
Division men take lunch.
At the office of George Wharton
Pepper, chairman of the committee in
charge of the arrangements, it was snid
that Sir. Baker told the commitcc of
the difficulty esterduy but snid that
an effort would be made to have the
eight clubs in 'the National League
agree to a postponement of the game
between the Phillies nud the Pittsburgh
club, the obstacle in the way of ending
the parade nt the Phillies' grounds.
In the meantime, the committee will
try to obtain the grounds of the Athle
tics at Twenty-first street and Lehigh
avenue and go ahead with plans for
holding the lunch there x case the field
In tho more favored position is not
available.

The impression in French conference
circles is that Italy i temporarily aban
doning her claim to Fiumc nnd will exact
full execution of the pact of London,
which, as it involves not only Onlmntia I

people, having laid down its arms,
honestly observed all the obligations
of the armistice, hard ns they were.
Notwithstanding this, our opponent
for six months have continued the
war by maintaining the blockade., '

Slangling of (iennaii People
Tho dismemberment and mangling
of the German people, the delivering .
of German labor to foreign capitalism
for the indignity of wage slavery a,ld
the permanent fettering of the young
Geriiuin republic by the Kntente's Im
perialism is the aim of this peace of
violence with a proposal of a peace
or right 011 Hid basis of a lasting
peace of the nations. ,
The fact that all circles of )h
German people have been moved so
deeply testifies Hint the German Got-
ernment is giving expression to the
united will of the German nation.
The German Government will put' ' -forth
every effoo to secure for (h
German people the same national
unity and independence nnd the. sawj
freedom of labor in economical nnd '
cultural respects which the Allies
want to give to nil the peoples of. ,
