It Is now virtually certain that the first meeting of the league of nations will not be held in "Washlneton in Octo ber as originally planned.

I O of lIvlnH. president Wilson told the Minnesota legislator today, is largely one to "a world situation growing out of the sacrifices and waste of the war. Back of that added the president lay the fate that the world had not yet learned what the peace status would be. The lrorld is not going to set tle down," said "he. untll it learns Trhat pnrt the United States la to play In the peace. He continued that this was the only nation which would have enough free capital In the near future to rehabili tate the world economically. The legislature, which began yes terday an extraordinary session to consider the high cost of living and other subjects, received the president with cheers. He was Introduced by Gov. Burnqulst. who said Minnesota hoped there would be some arrange ment to prevent future wars. First of all. Sir. Wilson said. It was the nation's duty to set the commerce of the world going by tbe establishment of peace. After that, he continued, there were domestic adjustments that must be made, mentioning among other things that railway facilities In this country were not equal to the demand. Having established a world settle ment economically, Mr. Wilson de clared, it was imperative that there be an arangement to Insure "that nobody monkey with tbe process set up." Turning to the relations of labor and capital, the president said that laboring men everywhere were dis satisfied with their relation to their employers. That was true abroad, he said, in larger measure than In the United States. Referring to the treatv provision for an International labor organization. Mr. Wilson said here was a way to Dnng a aerinite solution to the problems. He asserted that ini SURPRISING APATHY DISPLAYED TOWARD WILSON By DAVID EN ROUTE to St Paul, Minn, Sept 9. President Wilson did not make much of an impression at Omaha. ills audience was Interested and oc casionally enthusiastic but much of Mr. Wilson's argument went over their heads.

After the meeting, I talked with several influential Renublicans and some Democrats and the concen sus of opinion was that Mr. Wilson had not advanced much that was new or soul-stlrrlng Cannot Be Explained.

Must See Labor Is Not Commodity. As a basis for the solution, the president suggested that the interests of labor and capital must be recog nized as identical and the two ought to be reasonable enough to get to gether. When It was realized that labor was not a commodity and a real cooperation had been established, production would Increase "by leaps and bounds," and that would be one element in reducing the cost of liv ing. The United States, the president said, had been "provincial" in past years in its economic relations to tbe world. There must be a change, he argued. It the United States was to rehabilitate the world. And it was necessary to accomplish that rehabili tation, he added. "If you are goiing to carry your trade to the ends of the world." That was why, he continued, the cost of living was a world prob lem and was wrapped up In tbe peace treaty. "It was Just 'down right lenoranee of world affairs, he declared that prevented some men from seeing that point. There was aPDlause when he re marked that he did not think either of the senators from Minnesota was afflicted with that state of mind. Hole of V. S. Is Plain. Any man with "open eyes" could see the inevitable role the United States must play in world affairs, said the president and must realize that It was a case of either "wel coming or surrendering" to the facts. Mr. Wilson said he had seen condi tions on the other side of the water and knew first hand what confidence the world reposed in America. He said ne had been glad that the prob lem was a world one and not one of domestic politics because he would be -ashamed" of himself If he made such a subject a partisan one.
