WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.—In a) cable today President Wilson urged! Congress to immediately appropriate the $100,000,000 he had asked for the purchase of food for relicf in) Europe outside of Germany. He! said that famine and unrest cannot | be stemmed by force but can be by, food. | A message from Henry White, | member of the American peace dele- | gation, to the State Department, said that the “startling westward advance of Bolshevism” dominated the entire European situation above all else, and that it was of utmost importance that| the President’s request shall be| granted at once. out—what subjects will be considered at the meetings, the Rules of expert advisers and the order in which vari- ous matters will be considered. Nothing developed today to alter the statement that American delegates} are primarily concerned with creating | a League of Nations and making a} just peace. Territorial ambitions, | local quarrels and rivalry for economic advantages among the! Europeans are secondary to the! American representatives. i Reports that Americans have agreed on a working plan for the League of Nations and that this will be one of the first things laid before the congress are current in Paris. All outward evidences in official quart- ers point in the other direction. It is known that as late as Presi- dent Wilson’s return from Italy he was not prepared to lay down a working plan and that he preferred to have other plans originating among the entente delegates offered first. President Wilson selected five men connected with the American mission ; to draw up a tentative plan which! he could compare with his own ideas. Out of the whole it was hoped to frame some concrete proposition rep- resenting the best ideas of the Amer ican delorntion. These men have not finished their work. American and international lawyers | are convinced that a great battle of with will come in the discussion of whatever machinery is proposed to lessen the probability of war.
