New Tack Followed in Addresses at Sioux Falls and the Twin Cities; No Analytic Argument Needed to Con vince the People That Cost of, Living and the Euro- $ pean Situation Are Closely Related Problems. By DAVID LAWRENCE. T7N ROUTE with president Wilson to 1j Bismarck. N. D.. Sept. 10. More sinister than political chaos abroad is the menace "of Industrial revolu tion; more vital to America than a mere choice as between foreign poli cies Is the prospect of trying to do business with a European disorder, financially feeble and physically descrepit- That is the new tack on which president Wilson has launched as he passes through Minnesota and the Da kota:. For here, where foodstuffs are produced to feed the world, the people are interested in foreign' mar kets and the ability of foreign coun tries to pay for their purchases. Tbe president sought In hi speech at Sioux Falls and before the Minnesota legislature to show that the cost of living Is related to the disturbed economic cltna tlon sod that the economic tur moil in Europe cannot be united until the people there know what kind of a peace is Co ensue and who is to guarantee It. Finally, the president insisted that Europe cannot tell the Immediate di rection of her trade winds and wel fare until she knows whether or not the United states means to assist her or stand aloof.

But it waa the delay, be added, that was npset tinR affairs everywhere. Referring to porposals to separate the, peace terms from the league -covenant, -Mr. Wilson said the covenant had been put first In the treaty be cause without the rest of the treaty would be worthless. That conclu si on was rescued unanimously at Paris, asserted Mr. Wilson, because the peace conference realized that having set up a peace settlement, there must be some way to en force it T Replying to objections to article. 10 of the covenant, Mr. Wilson reit erated that the article bad no bind ing force without tbe assent of the United States, under the unanimous vote required for action.

There Is no other way to Quiet the world, and If the world isn't quieted, then America sooner or later will be drawn Into the melee."
