Show THE IDAHO CARAVAN PEOPLE II BROOKLYN MODERN OF TWENTY-EIGH- NEPHI, UTAH S, was acclaimed as practical idealist, the representative of a mighty new land, whose people were altruistic and unselfish and who desired to see th devastated world restored to amity and happiness. Before his departure, in an address to Congress, he repeated his famous "fourteen points," which, he said, constituted America's interest in the forthcoming council at Versailles. Presentation of the ."points," one of which provided for a league of nations covenant, precipitated a bitter controversy in congress which lasted for many months. It engendered such opposition to the president's plans that upon his return to Europe on the second stage of his mission he was less cordially received. Especially was this the case in certain parts of Italy, where, because of his attitude on Fiume. his name was hissed. French newspapers also excoriated him and he was denounced by a Lon don newspaper as an "autocrat." At home he was criticised by po litical opponents for assenting to the Shantung decision and for an alleged failure to maintain "open covenants of peace instead of Scret diplomacy. Senator Poindexter, Republican, in a speech accused him of being "the worst menace" in America because of his friendship for organized labor and his leniency toward radical doctrin-naire-s. Other critics accused him of gross extravagance abroad, and said he had accepted almost priceless RUSSIAN PACT IS COURT GIVEN APPROVAL of soviet party support CARAVAN recognition FAMILIES ENTER SUITS (premier Mcdonald has T Former Cabinet Man Files Answer Suits Brought by Brooklyn Farmers to Collect About ' ' TIMES-NEW- by Liberal Press Approves Move and Predicts All Nations Will Soon Enter Into A Similar Compact $20,000 William D.
