Grey Sees League
Without America
Complete Failure

London, Dec. 23.-Viscount Grey.
former secretary for foreign affairs,
mas written, at the request of the
research committee of the League
Of Nations union, an Introductory
note to a pamphlet entitled, The
Peace Conference and After"
After urging the greater Oppor-
tunity afforded by the peace con-
terence, for taking a practical step
in the direction of forming q league
of nations, NisCOunt Grey says:
1T is not necessary for the peace
conference to create a league of ma
tious. The conference Will in itself
be a vital beginning of such a
league. All that is absolutely nee
essary is that it should not commit
suicide, but keep itself alive by
adjourning and leaving perma-
nent organization instead of dis
solving itself and destroying its
machinery.
This is not all that is desir-
able but it is all that is essential
\ beginning that has in il vitality
anu power OF growth IS better than
a more complete and more attraC-
tive creation that has no life. One
is a living thing while the other is
Il piece of furniture.
Two more points l would espeC-
tally commend to careful and sym
pathetic consideration, one is the
possibility OF applying the princi-
pal of trusteeship to those vast
tracts, especially Africa, where no
Independent national government
of the native inhabitants can be
formed. The other is 10 emphasize
on the earnest advocacy OF the part
to be taken by the United States in
helping to give effect TO this priu-
ciple of trusteeship and in the
co Incil of the world Without the
United States any council or league
OF nations will soon be little better
than the old concert of Europe
" hich was spoiled invariably by in
triEues wi,A4n 1t and split into Op-
posing groups
II has required the united effort
of the allies and the United States
to win the war OF right against
wrong and to make peace. II viii
need the united and continuous. al
though peaceful action Of all Of
them to maintain peace.
1T would be as fatal to the fu-
ture Of the world for the United
States to relapse into the old idea
OF strict isolation, as it would be
for any power 10 revive the Ger
man IoliCy Of a separate conquest
and domination. Ii is, l believe, in
this spirit and for this purpose
that the people Of this country de-
sire close and cordial relations
with the United States We think
the people of tlN United States are
conscious of the great and benefi-
cent influence they exercised on the
history of the world by the part
they took in this war We cannot
believe that they viii let this in
fEeuce abate or die. ="

Cleaning Up Work in Paris.
Paris, Dec. 23.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press president Wilson's
conferences today and tomorrow
will virtually complete the pre-
liminaries he is expected to dis
pose of before going TO England.
They probably will lay the princi-
pal part of the groundwork for the
actual peace conference.
Mr.. Wilson considers the most
pressing Of all problems before the
entente nations in a fair way to-
ward being solved. This is the
question Of supplying food 10 the
starving peoples of liberated coun-
tries. 1t now seems probable that
the work viii be handled prInci-
pally by the United States. through
Herbert G.. Hoover, American food
administrator. II has been made
plain to the entente nations that the
United States has no wish TO claim
entire credit for the work of relief
in the midst of the people who are
to be fed, and a satisfactory under
standing appears TO be in sight Alr
Hoover will confer with the pres
ident again today.
