I (fly Associated Press.) Rome, Jan. 3. here unite Sn their welcome of President Wilson. The Giornalo 'Italia says: "Koine, whieh has known every form of greatness, will welcome Mr. Wilson tomorrow as it never received any sovereign.

We entered the war for the pama ideals as the United States, and with the ideals we propose to work with her for lasting peace." i "The visit of President Wilson," bays the Corriere 'Italia "must signify that outside nnd above the official i-ercmoniea, Italy as regards peaee picb-Jems is with Mr. WilRon, who will understand the pre-oceupatioii9 of Italy 8s he hag understood those of France fcnd England." Klotz, Bourgeois and Tardieu ior Delegates. Associated Press.) Paris, Jan. 3. The French dolegates to the peace congress in addition to I'reroier Clemenceau and Stephen l'ichon, the foreign minister, are likely to be Louis Klotz, minister of finance; Leon Bourgeois, president of the French society for a league of nations, and Capt.

Andre Tardieu, head of the general commission for Franco. American war ministers, it was reported today. M. Klotz, M. Bourgeois and Captain Tardieu will, it is considered, probably Represent France in the three chief subjectsfinance, the league of nations and commerce.

It is also expected that Marshal Foch will participate in the conference. "Balance of Power Won't Stay Balanced" President Wilson Tells Italian Legislators in Chamber of Deputies His Objection. (Continued From Page 1.) ause I believe thai it if extended to me as the representative of the' great people for whom I Bpeak. And I am going to take this first opportunity to say how entirely trie neart oi tne American people has been with the great people of Italy. "We have seemed no doubt indif-fereat at times, to look from a great distance, but our hearts have novcr been far away.

All sorts of ties have long bound the people of our America to the people of Italy and when the peoplo of the United States, knowing this people, have witnessed its sufferings, its sacrifices, its heroic actions npon the battlefield and its heroic endurance at home its steadfast endurance at home touching us more nearly to the quick even than its heroic action on the battlefield wo have been bouud by a new tie of profound admiration. "Fought for Same Purpose." "Then back of it all and through it all running like the golden thread that wove it together was our knowledge that the peoplo of Italy had gone into this war for he same exalted principle of right and justice that moved our own people. And so I welcome this opportunity of conveying to you the heartfelt greetings of tho peoplo of tne United States. "But we cannot stand in the shadow c.f this war without knowing there are things which aro in gome senses more difficult than those we have undertaken, because, while it is easy to speak of right and justice, it is sometimes difficult to work them out in practice and there will be required a purity of motives and disinterednesa of object which the world has never witnessed before in the councils of nations. "It is for that reason that it seems to tne yon will forgive me if I lay some of the elements of the new situation before you for a 'moment.

The fact of this war is that great empires nave gone to pieces, And the characteristics of thoso empires are that they held different peo pies reluctantly together under the coercion of force and the guidance of intrigue. Balkan Intrigues Blamed. "The great difficulty among such states as those of the Balkans has i been that they were always accessible to secret influence, and they were al ways being penetrated by intrigue or some sort or another; that north of them lay disturbed populations which were held together not by sympathy and friendship but by the coercive force of a military power. "Now the intrigue- is checked and the lands are broken and what we aro going to provide is a new cement to hold tin people together, incy nave not been accustomed to being indepen. dent.

They must now to independent "I am auro that you recognize the principle as I do that it is not our privilege to pay what sort of a government they should set up. But we aro friends of those people and it is our duty ns their friends to see to it I that some kind of protection is thrown around them nomething supplied which will hold them together. "Must Organize Friendship." "There is oo'y one thing that hold) n-tlons toi'cther. If you exclude force, and that is friendship and good will. The only thug that hinds mm together is friendship and by the same token the vOiily thing that hind nations to-pother is friendship.

Therefore, our taik at Paris is to organize tho friendship of the world to ife to it that all the m. forces that rnaka for right and justice and liberty are unit-i et and are given a vital organi' tinn to which the peoples the world will readily nnd gladly respond, i "In othf-r words, our tack ii no lew coloMal than this: To set up a new international psychology, to have a new ir llii' sum- a a of of of of is in THE BAYER CROSS j. ii: l.mvu lea-i rioii and In those v.

The only use of ar. obstacle is to be overcome. "Obstacles Challenge Men." "All that au obstacle does with brave men is not to frighten them, but to challenge them, so that it ouyht to he our priiio to overcome everything tiiat stands in the way. Wo know that there cannot be auotiier balance of powei. That has been tried and found wanting for the best of all reasons that it does not stay balanced inside itself and weight which does not hold together cannot constitute a maUe-wcight in the affairs of men.

"Therefore there must be something substituted for the balanco of power, and I am liappy to find everywhere iu the air of these great nations the conception that that thing must be a thoroughly united league of nations. "What men once considered theoretical and idealistic turns out. to be prac tical and necessary. We stand at the opening of a new age in which a new statesmanship will, I am confident, lift mankind to new levels of endeavor and achievement." Wilson Studies Smuts' World League Plans (Continued Prom Page 1.) policy, which would moan the necessity for a largo army and navy. But there is no sign that tha Presi dent has been disturbed by the differences publicly expressed.

Hather, it appears that he hopes to convince Premier Clemenceau of the impossibility America's entering ouy alliance except a world league. The real difficulty of the situation is that the United States is not acquainted with the facts the war and the numerous conferences between statesmen bofore the ar rival of Mr. Wilson. Many an American Ciere is asking himself the question what the attitude the people of. the United States would be if they knew all that had been going on here recently.

My own opinion is that the Republican party, iustead of discussing academically whether a league of nations should be taken up at the or the end the peace conference, should demand the withdrawal of the American army from Europe at the earliest possible moment and the refusal to sign any peace treaty committing Amorica to any territorial settlements whateover, or permitting America to become any further involved in the meshes of European diplomacy. The real choice h.ere between the old policy of isolation and one of entanglement in questions which some European nations are not willing to give us an equal voice. Mr. Wilson's own party might insist upon a world league based upon American standards of international intercourse. England Close to America.

All this may change when the real line-up of statesmen develops after Mr. Wilson's return from Italy. Thus far it may be said that England is closer to the American point of view than any of the other belligerents, with Ital very Americans are still hopeful that the French government will modify the view expressed by Pre mier CJpmencoali the Chamber Deputies. Tq do so, America must be ready with a plan tnat guarantees the security of franco. With American ,000 miles away, Franco must be ready to resist invasion instantly.

Unless Mr. Wilson's plans contem plate an economic arrangement reducing Germany to impotence from a military and naval point of view, as well as absolute demobilization of the German army, France is absolutely unwilling to agree to a league of nations in place of her old alliances and agree ments. England similarly feels the ne cessity for sufficient naval power to resist invasion bj two or more hostile powers. The moment is coming when Mr. Wilson must announce the extent of which American military, naval and economic forces will be ready to pre serve the peace or the world if tho nations abandon secret treaties and agreements and balances of It is too early to make any definite pre diction ot the outcome or the Wilson diplomacy, but admittedly the recent speech of Premier Toveal- cd the exact naturo of the problem which must be solved.

While the outlook for the moment is discouraging, it must not bo forgotten that Mr. Wil son has many cards to play and the peoples of Europe look to the statesmen who disagree with him to give convincing arguments in order to re tain their political power.
