Washington.—A price of $2^0 ■ bushel—the same as for toat year 1 # crop—was fixed by President Wn»ou for the coming -eason'a wheat yield.

of $1 28

In fixing a price now for the cew crop, which will not be harvested unit; June, the President wa* believed to nave had two object* In view.

declaration:

“1 can fundamentally agree with the four principle* which, in Prealdent Wilson's view, must be applied in a mutual exchange of view*, and thns declare with Prealdent WUaon that a general peace can be discussed on such a basis. “Cnly one reserve neel be made in thi* connection: These principle# _uust not only be proposed by the President of the United States, but must also actually be recognizes! by alt aiates and peoples. But UU* goal ha* not yet been reached. There to still no court of arbitration eaUhliahed by the nations for the preservation of peace In the name of Justice. When Prealdent Wilson Incidentally may* that the German Chancellor Is speaking to the tribunal of the entire world 1 moat decline this tribunal as prejudiced. joyfully as I would greet It if an impartial court of arbitration existed. and gladly as I would co-operate :o retllae such Ideals. '•Unfortunately, however, there Is no trace of similar statements on the part of the leading powers of the Entente. England'* u'ar aims are still thoroughly Imperialistic and *he wants to Impose on the world a peace according to England's good pleasure. When England talks about the people' rights of self-determination she does not think of applying the principle to Ireland. Egypt and India. "It has been repeatedly said that wa do not contemplate retaining Belgium but that we must be safeguarded from the danger of a country with which wdesire after the war to live In peece and friendship becoming the object or jumping-off ground ot enemy machinations. If, therefore, a proposal came firm the opposing aide—for example, from the Government In Havre—we should not adopt an antagonistic attltnde. even though the discussion at first might only be unbinding. twhlle. I really admit that Prealdent WUaon'* message of February 11 constitutes perhaps a amall step •ward a mutual rapproachement.** With reference to a statement recentfy made by Walter Runciman. the former president of the Board of Agriculture. to the British Cabinet, the Chancellor said: "I can only agree with Mr Runciman If he meant that we should be much nearer peace If proper r. tponrit>W representative* of the belligerent powers would meet in conctov for discussion.
