PRESIDENT'S LABOR CONVENTION ADDRESS.
NEiW YORK, Nov. 15. Following are some, of tho virile statements by President Wilson m his address m the American Federation of Labor, Convention at Buffalo, N.Y. :— ' The war was started by Germany. I am williocr to let the statement await the verdict of history. Germany is determined that the political power of the world shall belong to her. Any body of men that compounds itself with tho present German Government is compounding for its own destruction. ■ '""*"' What I am opposed to is not. tho feeling of the pacifists, but their s-*w:iditv.,. I want peace, but I know how to get it, arid they don't. If we are true friends*'.-of freedom we will see that tho productivity of this country is raised to its absolute maximum. While we are fishtin^ for freed hrn we must see that labor is free.
