By OLIVER OWEN KUHN,

PARIS, January 31.-The Wilson
policy of internationalization of Ger
man colonies adopted by the British
government and others OF the council
of ten at the peace conference. has
stirred up a furore. 1t has proven a
veritable hot potato in the hands of
those striving to adjudicate the terri
torial claims of the various COM
batants in order to remove causes for
further war.
The British delegates having accept
ed the Observation-Disclosures project in
reference to German Southwest Africa,
German East Africa, Kaiser Wilhelm $
Land, New Guinea and Samoa is the
center of attack from the govern
ments of Australia, South Africa and
New Zealand. as the internationaliza-

will not be permitted to annex these
territories outright, which they were

FOR 3-YEAR SHIP PLAN

BY unanimous vote the House naval
committee today adopted a three-year
building program.
During the next fiscal year ten cap
itaI ships and ten fast cruisers are
authorized, with an appropriation of
$3.50 coo, 600. 1t was specifically pro-
viGed that all contracts on the new
program Will be held up until Febru-
ary /, 1920. This is to allow the peace
parley to wind up its conferences.
The second years building program
may be different from that authorized
for 1920. Chairman Padgett explained
today that the reason sixteen scout
cruisers were not authorized was be-
cause Secretary Daniels had agreed
that the Navy Department should in
vestigate and report on the new styles
of construction. This Will allow a
definite decision to be reached in the
present disagreement regarding the
types of scout cruisers.

1t is expected. Maj. Pullman says.
that the remaining vacancies in the
department in the position of sergeant
will be filled within the next two
months, provided continued good prog
ress is made in the work of recruiting
the force.
Because of the number of vacancies
in the rank of private, it is not con-
sidared wise for adminiSt ratiVe
reasons to further reduce the number
of patrolmen by promotions which
will not be made necessary until the
quota of the force has been filed.
All the men promoted today are those
who at the present time are serving
in the rank of acting lieutenant or

thoroughly tested for their ability in
handling the work which has been
assigned to them.

today they would be so low that off

Any man now in military or naval
service holding government term life

but the amount will be limited to his
present holdings, which in no case are
more than $4,000. The government
urges all men TO continue to> carry
their present policies. but to convert
these as soon as they are financially
able within the next five years
The government itself and not
private companies will carry these
converted policies, it was emphasized
today in denial of reports that the
insurance business built up on the
lives of fighting men during the war
would now be turned over by the
government to private concerns.
Thus will be created IL permanent

HUN COLONY PLAN

Republicans Sharply Attack
Wilson Proposals O. KID
by Supreme Council.
TERMED 'PREPOSTEROUS'

Republicans of the Senate today
sharply attacked the plan for dealing
with German colonies and occupied
territories of Turkey in Asia, which it
was announced in Paris yesterday had
been proposed by President Wilson
and accepted in principle by the su-
preme council.
Minority Leader Lodge and Senator
Knox of Pennsylvania. republican,
former Secretary Of State. Joined in
attacking the reported program.
Senator Lodge declared that the re-
ports of President Wilson'S alleged
plans seem absolutely unbelievable" :"
Senator Knox asserted that the re-
ports propose obligations for the
United States which would involve "a
stupendous and preposterous UNDER
taking"
Senator Lodge declared for control
of the German colonies in Africa by
the South African Republic.
Assumes q. S. Troops to Be Used.
Senator Knox raised the question
in discussing the probable future size
of the Amexican Army. Senator Lodge
said that apparently. the United
States is to take part in the manage
ment of the German colonial posses
sions and asked if American troops
are to be used.
Certainly. how could we maintain
order otherwise" Senator Knox re-
piled. You can't rule those people by
moral suasion."

can correspondents at Paris regarding
the alleged plan of internationalizing

tion upon this nation of part of the
responsibility for maintenance of ora
der. Senator Knox said no other con-
clusion could be reached but that the
peace conference proposes that part of
the 'trusteeship or guardianship"
shall be assumed by the United States.
IF that is true. no Army we could
possibly raise and no taxes we could
secure would be sufficient" said Mr..
Knox.

What of Other NationsP

Inasmuch as the British colonies
will be prevented from annexations
through the internationa liZation
scheme ard adoption of mandatory
policy the question is brought for
ward: why should there be anneXa-
tions by France and the continental
powers in any direction?" 1t is being
explained by France and the others
that territories to be taken over are
those once belonging to claimants
and therefore justified. At this point
Italy claims Fiume and DalmaIia on
the grounds of Italian-speaking peo-
Piles there and one-time Roman doIni-
nation.
These claims so far are finding no
great favor. but the point iilustra Ies
the conflict. Delegates desiring an
neXations assert that the annexations
were promised and rewards for con-
siStent endeaVor in the war. and as Il
result they are causing some unpleas-
ant moments for the allies, who moro
than four years ago madRwide prom
iseS to obtain support.
Delegates demanding annexation
assert: IF America entered the wal
to gain Mexico and then found her
self robbed of the fruits of this en-
deavor. would America like it? No."
Through this feeling the adoption
of the WilsoniaD Observation-Disclosures ion
scheme is certain to send the dele
gates from smaller countries away
from Paris with bad feeling.

Held Out as Wars Reward.

Feeling among the British colonial
statesmen is heated. Though these
colonies under the peace conference
mandatory plan would fall under
British suzerainty, they never would
be purely British or really belong to
British colonies, as the league of ma
tions would sit as arbiter and judge
to whether the wishes of the peo-
plies were being carried out and in
ternational commercial rights and in
terests being guarded. British colo
nies, regardless of the acceptance of
President wilson's fifth point in the
fourteen principles by the allied gov
ernments, absolutely insist that their
demands be needed. and, owing to the
Likelihood of being refused and all
past agreements with the British
government abrogated. the feeling be-
tween the two for the moment runs
