PRESIDENT WILSON’S SUPPORT

HISTORIC DAY FOR EUROPE

(Received This Day at 9.30. a.m.) WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.

There is great interest in despatches from London, announcing that Colonel House had received a cablegram from President Wilson, stating that the United States considers a unity of plan to control the war is essential, if United States resources are to ho used to the best advantage. The cable also asked Colonel House to attend a meeting of the Supreme War Council.

The “New York Times' Washington correspondent states the message is most significant and important, because synchronises with the House of Commons debate.

'The “New York Times” says at the moment when politicians are seeking the downfall of Hon. T-loyd George, for his advocacy of a War Council, -Mr Wilson advocates the same thing. Mr Wilson has done Hon. Lloyd George a great service. Lord Northcliffe was vastly wrong, when he tried to use United States attitude against Lloyd George. The success of the Allied Council is now assured. This is an historic day for 'Europe.
