Warts .gniist Revolutionl. Looks to
League of Nations for iteisiont of
Treaty.
'Veinar, .July 23.--In addlessing
the national assembly today, Gustav
Adolph Hauer, the pr-emier, alluding
to the recent strikes, warned the
Country against a hasty revolution,
which lie said, could only be a c'Oterltt'
ievolution resulting in disaster.
Tile pr'einer admitted that the grteat
masses of tht people had grounid for
discontent and said it. was the govern
m1et.is task to relove anuy just. reason
for tiiis. The reimledhy, hue added, was
a law regulating worikers' councils
and econocl councils, witch tle gov
(rnment would draft.
There will also he a hill, the pie
mier announced, to nationalize elec
tric power stations andh socialize the
production of lignite. Time premlnier of
fer-ed t long exposition of the gov
ernment's policy which, lie said, was
one of socialization. He declared
tihat rthe socialization of iother
mines would follow that of the lignite
mines and said a -Democratic state
possessing railways, electricity and
mines would be in a position to give to
Germany's economic life that form of
contentment which hd considered
right and possible.
The premier, continuing, said the
workers' councils, 'with the district
economic councils and headed by the
imperial economic council, which it
was proposed to establish, were re
garded by the government as forerun
ners and the eventual -pillars of so
cialization. The government's police,
lie a(ddded, also would be devoted to
preventing the superfluous importa
tion of luxuries. and especially the ex
clusion of all imports which woud be
most likely unfavorable to influence
tile labormarket.
"W shall need to work and to ah
hor reveige," th preiter said, ill
conclusion. "We shall have to renew
our national lifo and give national
thought on the foundation of league
of national idea. On tile growth and
strenlghilening of the idea our hope
miust rest and from it. must come a re
vision of the peace treaty."

Modilied. Paclifc Coast Trip.
MWashington, July 27.-No word
came from the NWhite House today to
clear up intimations that President
Wilson before beginning his speak
Ing tour, might make some public ex
pression of his views on the reserva
tion to the covenant of the league of
nations which some Republican sena
tors insist are necessary to its ratill
cation.
Although no one in the president's
ollicial faiily would take notice of
these intimations, iwhich are wide
spread, the impression continues to
grow in congressional and oflicial cir
cles that the 'president has some such
idea in his mind.
Tomorrow the presideirt will rc
(eive callers at his desk in the execi
tive olices for the first time in several
days. All his appointments are with
)emocratic members of the house or
senate.
This morning the president, accom
panied by NIrs. Wilson, attended
church. In the afternoon he took a
long automobile ride into the coun
try.
An aimnoineinent regarding 1the
president's forthbcoming trip to the
'acific coast is expected frot the

hiis depairture front Wash ington, Au
gust .b. If this date is finally decided
inon he is due to arrive inl Los A n
geles, August 12, after making a few
speeches in the .Middle West.
it originally had been expected that
the trip would not start before Au
gust 10. at. the earliest.
Now, however, Mr. Wilson is de
scribed as being anxious to start his
"swing around the circle" as soon as
possible. His spieeches will be de
signed to give a clear cut analysis of
the conditions be feels make the
league of nations a necessity and the
things he hopes its adoption will av
complish. The president also prob

ing iade to accommodate a large
