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.

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

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

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

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

prosperity-'to peoples whose de.
