ONLY ALLIES ELIGIBLE
TO JOIN PEACE LEAGUE
Former French Premier Adds Will
sons Idea is Acceptable to Entente

PARIS, July S.-Interviewed re-
garding the findings of the commit
tee formed to study the question of
bringing about league of nations,
former Premier Leon Bourgeois, the
president of the committee, stated
that his views were identical with
those of President Wilson on the OBJ
ject to be attained; namely, a lasting
peace founded on respect for the lib
critics and rights Of peoples.
An organization of universal scope,
NJ. Bourgeois said, was not actually
possible, except among the entente
allied powers. 1t would afterward be
opened to other nations when those
countries furnished the necessary
guarantees, possessed a democratic
form of government and expressed a
willingness to place their destinies in
the hands of the combine of nations
in accordance with the ideas of Presi-
dent Wilson and Lord Curzon, men,
Der Of the British War Cabinet.
Plans for the organization of the
league of nations, the former premier
added, should be studied now. for it
would bind tighter the ties uniting the
entente allies and also establish a
diplomatic unity, something which
would be indispensable at the time
negotiations for peace were Instituted
