there were more policemen than

AIRPLANE TO FURNISH
SECRET SERVICE PROBLEM.
New York, Jan. 25. (By Univer

today at the Aero club of America.
John Burroughs, the naturalist "had
just remarked " in a little while air
craft will be as thick in the air as
taxicabs on Broadway, and Col.
William A. Bishop, the British ace,
replied: "Yes, and whan they are,
there will be a new problem for the
customs officials smuggling. The
possibilities' for smuggling with air
planes will be practically unlimited,
and will entail establishment of a
vast new government aerial border
patrol service. . No .tariff wall is so
high that an aviator cannot scale it,
and the clouds would act as an ef

Recognition of Bolshevism Im
plied in Invitation to Peace
Conference Based on
Financial Motive."
'
By GEORGE W. WICKERSHAM,
Former U. S. Attorney General.
Special Cable Dispatch. N
(Copyright 1919. New York Trib
une, Inc.)
Paris, Jan. 25. The . decision of
what may be called the executive
committee of the peace conference
concerning Russia is the most im
portant event that has occurred since
President Wilson's arrival in France.
While Premier Clemenceau has
united with the p'resident, and other
premiers, in approving what has
been called "the proposal of Presi
dent Wilson," the almost undivided
sentiment of the "French press, as
well as certain English newspapers,
condemns the recognition of- bol
shevism implied in the invitation "to
every organized group that is now
exercising or attempting to exercise
political ' authority or military con
trol anywhere in Siberia or within
the boundaries of European Russia
as they stood before the war just
concluded, 'except in Finland" to
send representatives to. Princes
Island o ' ftieet those of the asso
ciated powers, with the view to as
certaining the wishes of Russian
people and bringing about some
understanding whereby Russia may
work out her own purposes and
''happy co-operative relations be --
tablished between her people atid the
other peoples of the world." -.(
Why Princes Island should have
been selected for the rendezvous Is
a subject of much speculation!, '
Credit to 146yd George."
There are oh it a few deserted
palaces and several shabby hotels.
It is accessible only by boat from
Constantinople,' by which all sup
plies also must be transported. The
plan, is characterized in the press
as that' ofPresident Wilson. 'Ac
tually the credit belongs to Premier
Lloyd George, for it was he who
first suggested the bringing of the
Russian-groups and leaders into a
conference with the associated pow
ers. The only change made in the
program consists in the substitution
of Princes Island for Paris as the
meeting place. The official com
munique is understood to have been
drafted by Mr. Wilson. Its lan
guage supports that assumption.
Not content with the statement of
the actual grounds for extending the
invitation the communique elabor
ates protestations of friendship for
the Russian people arid the recogni
tion of their right to "direct their
own affairs without dictation or di
rection of anv kind from outside.
It goes further; it contains this
extraordinary pronouncement: "The
associated ' powers recognize the
revolution without reservation and
will in no way and in any circum
stance aid or give -countenance of
any attempt a.t counter-revolution.
It is not their; wish or purpose to

UN!TED ON PROJECT
TO GUARD WORLD
President Wilson and Colonel House American Mem
bers of Committee to Work Out. Details; Com
mittee to Fix Responsibility for War and Crimes
Committed by "Huns Also Proposed.
Paris, Jan. 25. The peace conference unanimously
adopted the league of nations project. President Wilson nd
Colonel House are the American members of the commission
thereon. "
A series of resolutions dealing with the creation of a
league of nations, inquiries into responsibility for the war an J
violations of international law and other topics were pre
sented at the session today and were adopted by the con
ference without change.
The preliminary draft for the crea
tion of a league was given out offi
cially as follows:
Open to All Civilized Nations.
"The conference, having consider
ed the proposals for the creation of
a league of nations, resolved that:
It is essential to the maintenance
of the world settlement, which the
associated nations now are met to
establish that a league of nations
be created to promote international
obligations and to provide safeguards
against war. TJiis league should be
created as an integral part of the
general treaty of peace and should
be open to every civilized nation
which can be relied on to promote
its objects.
The members of the leaeue
should periodically meet in inter
national conference and should have
permanent organization and sec
retaries to carry on the business of
the league in the intervals between
the conferences.
"The conference, therefore, ap
points a committee, representative of
the associated governments to work
out the details of the constitution
and the functions of the league."
Plan.JTo.Eijc. Responsibility, -The
draft of the resolutions in re

'That a committee composed of

President Yilson Opens
Discussion
Paris, Jan. 25. Following is Presi
dent Wilson's address before the
peace conference today:
"Mr. Chairman: I consider- it a
distinguished privilege to be per
mitted to open the discussion in this
conference on the league of nations.
We have assembled for two pur
posesto make the present settle
ments which have been rendered
necessary by this war, and also to
secure the peace of the world, not
only by the present settlements, but
by the arrangements we shall make
at this conference for its mainte
nance. . .
"The league of nations seems to
me to be necessary for both these
purposes. There are many compli
cated questions connected with the
present settlements which perhaps
cannot be successfully worked out
to an ultimate issue by the decisions
we shall arrive at here. I can easily
conceive that many of these settle
ments will need subsequent consid
eration ithat many of the decisions
we make shall need subsequent alter
ation in some degree for if I may
judge by my own study of some of
these questions they, are not suscep
tible of confident ' judgments at
present. '
- Machinery Necessary.
"It is therefore necessary that we
should set .up some machinery by
which the work of this conference
should be rendered complete. "
"We have assembled here for the
purpose of doing very much more
than making the present settlements
that are necessary. We are assem
bled under very peculiar conditions
of world opinion. I may say, with
out (training -the point that we are
not the representatives of govern
ments but representatives of the peo
ples. "It will not suffice to satisfy gov
ernmental circles anywhere. It is
necessary that we should satisfy
the opinion of mankind.
"The burdens of this war have
fallen in an unusual degree upon
the whole population of the coun
tries involved. I do not need to
draw for -you the picture of 'how
u
nate or ancillary to the above which
may ar.se in the course of the in
quiry and which the commission
finds it useful and relevant to take
into consideration."
Concerning Reparation.
The following draft of a resolu
tion in regard to reparation for pre
sentation to the peace conference
was given out today:
"That a commission be appointee
which shall comprise not more than
three representatives apiece from
each of the five great powers and
not more than two representatives
apiece from Belgium, Greece, Po
land, Roumania and. Serbia, to ex
amine and report:
"First, on the amount of repara
tion which the enemy countries
ought to pay; second, on what they
are capable of paying; and, third, on
the method, the form and time with
in which payment should be made."
To Study Labor Problems.
The folowing draft of a resolu
tion in regard to international leg
islation on industrial and labor qucs
tons for presentaton to the peace
conference was made pubic today:
"That a commission composed of
two represeiifafivesSpiece from the
rive great powers and five represent
atives to be selected by the other
powers represented at the peace con
ference be appointed to inquire into
the conditions of employment from
the international aspect and to con
sider the international means neces
sary to secure common action on
matters affecting conditions of em
ployment and to recommend the
form of a permanent agency to con
tinue such inquiry and considera
tion, in co-operat)bn with and tinder
the direction of the league of na
tions." The draft of another resolution
to go before the conference regard
ing international control of ports,
.waterways and railways reads:
"That a commission composed ol
two representatives apiece from the
five great powers and five represen
tatives to be appointed to inquire
and report upon the international re
gime for ports, waterways and rail
ways." on The League
the burden has been thrown bark
from the front upon the older n.en,
upon the women, upon the children,
upon the homes of .the civilized
world, and how the real strain of
the war has come where the eve
of the government could not reach
but where the heart of hurnanitv
beats.
"We are bidden by these people
to make a peace which will make
them secure. We are bidden !
these people to see to it that this
strain does not come upon them
again. And I venture to say that
it has been possible, for them t i
bear this strain because they hoped
that those who represented them
could get together after this war
and make such another sacrifice un
necessary. -,
Central Object of Meeting.
"It is the solemn obligation n
our part, therefore, td make per
manent arrangements that jusiice
shall be rendered and peace main
tained. "This is the central object of our
mteting. Settlements may be tem
porary, but the action of the na
tions in . the interest of the peace
and justice must be permanent. We
can set up permanent processes.
We may not be able to set up a
permanent decision.
"Therefore, it seems to me that
we must take, so. far as we can. a
picture of the-world into our "mimis.
Is it not a startling circumstance
for one thing that the great dis
coveries of science, that -the quiet
studies of men in laboratories, that
the thoughtful-developments which
have taken place in quiet lecti'rc
rooms nave now been turned to the
destruction of civilization? 1 he
powers of destruction have not r.
