PRESIDENT WILSON ON WORLD'S j PEACE.

LONDON, Jan. 8. President Wilson, during his visit to Turin, paid a tribute to Cavour, pointing out that the great achievements of Italy would have been impossible' without his work and inspiration. Referring to the business of the Peace Conference, President Wilson said the pulses of tlie modern world beat Up! business houses. Men who' do the business of the world shaped the destinies of the world. Peace and war issues were largely in the hands of those controlling tbe world's commerce. "You cannot trade with a man who cannot trust you, and you will not trade with a man whom you cainnot trust. Trust is the life breath of nations' relations. Foreign capital takes 'hold in modern states. Its processes are actually processes of conquest." FRENCH AUTHORITY'S VIEWS. NEW YORK, Jah. 8. The United Press correspondent at Paris interviewed M. Burgeoise, a leading French authority _qn tbe League of Nations, who said three things must be done by the League—first, it must provide that arbitration shall be obligatory; (2) limit armaments; (3) create penalties for refractory nations. These penalties shall be diplomatic, juridical, economic and military. President Wilson wishes German fo be admitted to the League on an equal basis with the other nations. I believe Germany should be admitted only after she proves her sincerity by obeying all the conditions of the treaty of peace."
