Urges
Enforcing Power
For World League

The establishment of league of ma
tions capable of enforcing its Will,
either by armed force, suasion or eco
nomic PRESSURE, was advocated yester-
Gay by Sir Henry Darlington Smith,
assistant British High Commissioner
and potentiary, in his address at
the sixteenth annual business meeting
of the Pilgrims of the United States in
the Waldorf Astoria.
Sir Henry expressed his belief that
the peace conference would accomplish
undreamed of things for the better
ment Of the world Over the door of
the conference chamber should be
placed, he said, the motto of the
British tanks: at can't be done Do it,"
"The war is over but we have not
yet declared peace" he said. "The
great war organizations are melting
away The dollar year mon ore again
becoming the dollar-a- minute men. We
arc perhaps inclined to be a little i'm
patient, but we must not go too fas.
Cooperation is as much needed now as
throughout the war. The motive force
must be secured from public opinion
TO insure an enduring. just and stable
peace"
Regarding a league of nations, Sir
Henry said: "The governing idea Of
a reign of law which governs the re-
lations of individuals must be extended
to nations. To be effectively estab-
lished, league of nations must be the
embodiment of the VIII of the world
Only by force of the nations of the
league. whether that force is expressed
il suasion, armed compulsion or Geo
nomc pressure, can the object of the
cague be obtained" :"

warned his hearers that the poison of

Free Publicity Is Asked
For All Final Agreements

But many other questions are sug
gested which are not included within
these fourteen points, and the latter
couched, as they necessarily are, in gen
eral language and ambiguous as they
also are in some instances, depend for
their actual meaning and effect upon
the Interpretation which may be put
upon them in the conference and find
definite expression in ultimate agree
ment. These final open covenants of
peace, so President Wilson declared
must be arrived at openly, not framed
in secret sessions by four or five
statesmen, and then submitted in com.
pleted form to be taken by the peoples
affected, subject to only one alterna
tive. namely, to reject the entire agree
ment.
The speedy retreat Of the President
and the Premiers from their decision to
admit of practically no publicity of the
conferences sessions, when outraged
opinion of the world exploded upon it,
furnishes evidence of the value of the
peoples Of the world Of knowing what
their agents are proposing to do before
it is too late to pass effective juCgmer
upon their decisions.
Mr.. Wilson stated to Congress in
his address on December that it was
his paramount duty to go to Paris in
order that the Allied governments
which had accepted the bases of peace
outlined to Congress on January 9,
1913 (the fourteen points,, might have
the benefit of his personal counsel in

No Russian Mission

The Temps" says that with regard
to Russia, it is understood two sug-
gestions were discarded by the con-
terence, the first proposing to hear in
Paris representatives of all the gov
crnments in Russia. including that Of
lie Bo!sheviki. and, the second the
sending TO Russia of mission anala-
s,ous TO that to Poland.
France favors immediate armed in
tervention by the Allies in Poland,
according to authoritative unoff icial
information obtained here to-day. The
French view is said to be that only
military assistance can save Poland
from being crushed by the Bolshcviki
and that such assistance must be given
within the next few weeks 1t is
asserted that the sending Of food or
munitions to Poland would only serve
to strengthen the hands of the Bolshe-
wiki, since they would ultimately cap
ture the supplies.
Five Commissions Proposed
According to the "Temps,' the peace
conference has under contemplation the
creation OF two inter-Alled commits
sions. one on a league OF nations and
the other on the compensation Ger
many must pay for damages done.
The newspaper adds that the Ameri-
can plan contemplates the forming of
three other comm ssions, one on terri
torial questions, the second on over
seas territories and the third on re-
sponsibiltes.

nation of q league of nations will get

PARIS. Jan. 22.--Lord Robert Cecil,
who has in charge for Great Britain
the task of aiding in the formation Of

submitted TO the peace conference the

ject, which in its broad line did not

by General Jan {. Smuts, the South
