PARIS. Jan. 15.--I.ord Robert Ce-
Gil. who discussed with American jour
nalists last night his views as to the
work of league OF nations, had little
to say relative to the limitation OF
ornaments. He expressed the opln-
ion, however. that the league of ma
tions "certainly would provide for the
limitation and decrease of present
armaments.''
He declared that this feature of the
work to be done is being given deepest
consideration, although no definite
agreement has as yet been reached.
He said that the league. if formed,
would do away with all treaties incon-
sistent with it's tenets, including COM
pacts providing for a balance of power.
Asked what effect the formation of
a league of nations would have upon
the Monroe doctrine, Lord Robert as
serted he could see no conflict with
the doctrine. Hypothetical questions
were raised as to what would happen
in case Mexico or South American
country did something that caused
trouble with the league, and Lord Rob
ert replied:
Then I think an arrangement could
be made by which America could act

WASHINGTON. Jan. 15.-The first
food relief for Poland to go forward
from the United States in four and
one-half years will be taken soon from
New York by the American steamer
Westward Ho. who is loading a seven

Polish and Jewish organizations in
this country.
One-third of the food will be con-
densed milk. one-third animal fats and
vegetable oils and the other third
cereals. The Westward Ho will sail
for Danzig, the Polish port on the
Baltic Sea, and the food will be dis
tributed by representatives of Herbert
c. Hoover. with the assistance OF

ing the funds for the relief was reach

meeting. but was of the opinion that
the details should be worked out with
care by committees which should re-
port to the peace congress.
"Questioned as to the attitude of
the allies as a whole toward the
league. Lord Robert said that every
one of them favored a league of some
sort and that they were not separated
by anay vital point. AS to the scope
of the league, he said there were still
many purely legal disputes between
nations which he thought ought to be
settled by an arbitration tribunal out
side the league.
In discussing the probable efficiency
of the plan to force obedience to de.
crees by the league, Lord Robert de-
clared:
'If We had had a conference on the
reply of Serbia to Austria and had not
allowed them to fight for set period
there would have been no war. If the
situation had been known to the
world, no action could have forced its
people to fight.
