WANTS PRESIDENT WILSON TO HAVE ALLIED TERMS STATED
Ligue des Droits de l’Homme Sends Important Message Through Mr. James Kerney.

The central committee of the Ligue des Droits de l’Homme on Saturday afternoon received Mr. James Kerney, director of the American Committee of Public Information, and a personal friend of President Wilson.

Mr. Kerney, who was accompanied by Mr. Lewis and Dr. Herbert Adams Gibbons, exposed President Wilson’s ideas on peace.

MM. Fernand Buisson, Marcel Cachin, Albert Thomas, Emile Kahn, Hadamard, Seailles and Guernut begged Mr. Kerney to assure Mr. Wilson that French democracy solidly supported him.

They expressed the wish that the President of the United States should endeavor to bring about as soon as possible the constitution among the Allies of a league of nations and secure the publication of the precise conditions which the Entente considers necessary to the conclusion of peace.
