Sept.
6th.——President
Wilson
avpealed
to
a
Kansas
City crowd
today
to support
the
peace
freaty
as
a
charter
for
a new order
of
world
affairs
The
people,
said
the President,
had
been
mis-
led about
the treaty
by
men
w 0 look at
it "with the jaundiced
eves
of those
who
have
some
private
interesis
of
their
own’’.
When
these
men
were
‘'gib-
beted’’ by
public opinion,
he
said,
they
will regret
that
the
gibbet
is
so
high.
“If anybody
dare
to
defeat
this
great
instrument’’,
he
continuad,
“‘then
they
will have
to
gather
their
counsellors
for
the world
and
do
something
better.
A
negation
wiil not
save
the
world.
Ger-
many,
he said,
would
be
the
only
great
nation
left out of
the
league,
unless
we
decide
t+
stay
out and
come
in later
with
Germany.’’
The President
asked
th-
au-
di2nce
not ,to think
he had come
out
o
tight or antagonize
anybody.
I have
tie
greatest
respeet,he
said,for
the Senate
of

but I have
come
out
to
fight a
cause
that
is
greater
than
tno
Senate
and I intend
to fight that
cause
in
ofiice or out
as long as I live.

in

that
it
bad
been
Sir Carter
to whom
the
very
existence
of
the
western
pro-

was
largely
due,
nor
did
they
.
forget that
it was
to
his vision
that
the
fact of
a great
country stretching
from
the Pacific
to

Atlantic
was
owing.
The King’'s message
was
as follows:

is taking

measures
to fight Ame-

rican
packers, says

the
la-
|
bour organ
this
morning.
This
deecision
.
was
dictated
according
to
the
ncwspa-
per,
owing
to
the
strangle
hoid
big
.
American
packers
are
exerting
on

provision
import
trade
and
the
ar
l
ranzements
virtually
have
been
com-
|
pleted
for
the
establishing
of
a
‘
brokers pool
for
those
v/hose
business
'
has dropped
to almost nothing
owing
to

the
alleged
operations
oif
the
packers
‘
and
who refused to throw in theirlot with
the packers.
The‘‘Herald’’ quotes
an offi-
‘
cial of
the
Food
Ministry
as
saying:-
[
“We are
trying
to
make
arrangements
'
by which British
traders
may
have
a
share
in
the trade,
which
fornerly
was
in the hands
of
the
American
pickers

Jones,
head
I
of the British prohibitionists,
in ou:lining
his impending
campaign,
positively
de-
nies
any intention of manoeuvring
under
cover.
He
states
his
chief
desire
is to
trace
developments
step
by
step
and
hopes
the limelight
of full publicity
will
he focussed
on each
move
of the United
Kingdon
Alliance
from
the
start of the
campaign
in Manchester
in Qctober
un-
til
the
loeal
veto
bill
is
introduced
in
Parliament
next
year.
While
the
cam-
paign
is being
constantly
prosecuted
in
London,
successive
attacks
will be made
on
Manchester
Liverpoool,
and
New-
castle.
The
Scottish
Temperance
Act
comes
into effect
in January
and
an
im-
mease
conerentration
of platform work-
ers
will endeavour
to persuade
the
eleec-
tors
there
to use
referendum
to clear
all
liquor out of their
districts.
The

¢
prohibition
congress
takes
place in Edin-

the
grand
finale will come

of an inaug-
ural
meeting
of
the
World’s
Womens’
Temperance
Union, Lady Carlisle having
charge
of
this
side
of
the
movement.

Jones
declares
himself
satisfied
that
the
time
is ripe

is
persuaded
through

with

that

is
making
great
headway.
