THE BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY, JANUARY 11. 1WJ. 17ILS0II READY TO GO HALF WAY rITIMTALIAUS Would Recognize Territorial Aspirations of Jugo-Slavs While Safeguarding Italy's Frontier. Paris, Jan. 10. President Wilson, It it said, has virtually made up his mind how far he will support Italy's claims at the peace table and informed Premier Orlando of his decision, but it is probable his ideas will not be made known pub licly until the peace delegates have been advised of them. It is asserted by persons close to the president that he favors only partial endorsement of Italy's am bitions. The expectation has been expressed that President Wilson is agreeable to meeting the principal features of Italy's claim to territory undeniably Italian and essential to safeguard her sovereignty and at the same time to recognize the ter ritorial aspirations of the Jugo Slavs. It is anticipated that the presi dent's leanings in favor of Italy do not go so far as to warrant the suggestion that he is in favor of giving Italy control of the Adria tic, but that by a project of inter nationalization he is willing to sat isfy the Italians that there will be no military threat to the east of them, according to persons sup posed to be well informed on the subject. The president is" said to realize that the Italians are depending al most solely on the United States lor support, but that he has felt from the first that he could not endorse their claims in full, though he is said to entertain the warmest sympathy for Italy.

Premier to be Envoy Premier Lloyd George Andrew Bonar Law, chancellor of the exche quer; A. J. tfaltour, secretary ot state for foreign affairs, and George Nicoll Barnes, privy councillor, have been appointed plenipotentiaries to the peace congress by the British cabinet, according to the Express and the Mail. William Morris Hughes, premier of Australia: Sir Robert L. Borden, premier of Canada, and Gen. Lewis Botha, premier of the Union of South Africa, will be colonial repre sentatives who will have seats when the congress takes up business of interest to the dominions they repre. sent, it said. Smuts' League Program. In a pamphlet published today entitled a League ot Nations, a Program for the Peace Conference," Gen. Jan Christian Smuts, former member of the British war cabinet. says it is necessary to view a league class at the hands of those whose might question the finality of his wisdom. He also relies upon the influence of his rhetorical ethics upon th minds of the masses of Europe to compel acquiescence In his projects by the leaders of the allied powers, Lvents alone will determine th wisdom of his scheme, A priori, it would seem doomed to failure. The world is too exten sive. too tomnlex. and at the mo merit too demoralized to admit of a settlement upon preconceived ac ademic lines. Proletariat Wins. One thing, however, is clear: that is, that the conditions under which live sreat masses of people in countries who must labor with their hands and earn their bread by the sweat of their brows, must receive the most intelligent and sympathetic consideration on the part of those who guard the destinies of the great nations. From the rank anarchy of Rus sia s bolshevism to the almost tin precedented protests of the Bntis soldiery aeainst conditions of de mobilization, the verdict of th common man is heard in every country, demanding justice and bet ter treatment for himself and his of nations not only as a possible means to prevent future wars, but as a great organ for the orderly and peaceful life of civilization and as the foundation of a new mter- natmnal svstptn. ' superior education and greater ad vantages have put them in control of the machinery of government lechnically. perhaps, the problems they present do not fall within th primary purpose of the peace con General Smuts says that the Eu- ference, which is to settle the terms ropean empires will all disappear and that Germany will become a truly federal democratic state. "In the league of nations." he said, "all states should be considered equal and should vote as states, whatever the number of their repre sentatives delegated to the general conference of constituent states. Be sides the conference there must be a small council composed ot these that Germany, Austria, Turkey an Bulgaria must accept as the con ditions under which they will cease to be enemies of the civilized world But every day more uncertain an unsettled conditions develop i these countries. Is Peace Possible Now? It would be impossible at thi moment to discover a responsible five great powers: The British em- government whose signature could pire, the United States, trance, ne. accepted as a guarantee or tin future conduct or uermany. aus tria is already divided, and who can speak for Turkey. i he initial consideration before the peace conference is whethe there can be any stipulated peace at all with the Teutonic powers, or if the allied governments are not charged with the task of preserving social order in the regions of Europe which formerly the enemy govern ments controlled. Wholly new social forces evolve a hew civic order and new industrial states which may promise peace, and prosperity-'to peoples whose de. pendence upon military autocracy in the past led them to their present condemnation and ruin. Peace Delegation Weak, If this is so we in America must adiust ourselves to the duty of maintaining a considerable army in Europe for some time to come, will not be popular. It will acquiesced in only by recognition of the fact that having put our nana to the plow, we cannot turn back, It will be made more tolerable to our people, if it shall be accompanied by the accomplishment of some in ternational arrangement which will benefit the workinsr classes ot the countries throukh a common ef fort at mutual benefit. ' But it is a pity that the American delegation from the great American republic to the council at Versailles is not representative oi anyumiB but a single personal will. Italy and Japan, Germany being adred w'ien she has a stable demo cratic government." Will Agree on Fundamentals. Paris, Jan. 10. President Wilson before he returns to the United States will reach an agreerrlent with entente representatives as to certain fundamental questions, according to the Gaulois. These questions con cern the new boundry between France and Germany, indemnities and reparations and Balkan and Near Eastern matters.
