Efforts to Place Burden of Policing
Europe Upon the United States
Work, it is Said, of German Propa-
gandists.
Paris, Dec. 23.-Various develop
ments in the international situation
are causing embarrassment to Presi-
dent Wilson and the other members
of the American peace mission.
The fact IS the President is becon-
ing rather anxious over apparent eff
forts to unload upon his shoulders
matters not dreamed Of before his
trip to Europe.
One of these matters is the sug-
gestion that the United States po-
lice the Balkan states for the Czecho-
Slovaks during an agreed probation
ary program of interference in Russia.
1t is plain that pro-German propa-
gandits, working from Scandinavian
points, are attempting to create points
of difference between the American
ervoys and the European representa-
tves over tn allies wants.
The declaration put out by these
pro- German propagandists, however,
are absolutely without any foundation
of truth, it was declared today.
The new and embarrassing sug-
gestions which are being raised form
the chief reason for the Presidents
insistence upon the formation Of a
league of nations. Such a society
would exercise whatever powers are
desired along the line of policing and
in troubled countries.
