Show ENGLISH PAPERS LIKEJLEOTi London, Nov. 10, 9; 05 p. m. The re-election of President Wilson is welcomed wel-comed by the Weekly Nation a an event favorable both to peace and to the cause of state liberty, and the paper pa-per thinks that his election offers hopes of an earlier end to the war agony than any nation enduring it can foresee. William Henry Massingham, the editor, In a special note referring to President Wilson, says: "Tho resources of the European statesmanship are not so rich, nor are its personalities so inspiring that it can readily dispense with an acute, powerful, and, in somo degree, prophetic pro-phetic intellect at the head of the greatest power that the war has left standing and the most sympathetic to ourselves. I think that most men and women here who take more than casual Interest in American politics, read the news of Mr. Hughes' earlier success with sinking hearts." The New Statesman regards it as better for the entente allies to havo to do with a president whose mind they know and who is unlikely to raise serious difficulties concerning the British blockade. "Moreover," it adds, "Wilson is the more likely to be Interested personally personal-ly In the promotion of an Anglo-American entente on tho creation of which, after the war, so many important things will depend." |
