PARIS, March U-The week
opened with the peace delegates in a
mood OF anxious expectancy suiiuScd
with suppressed irritation. Last
week should have brought matters
rapidly forward but IN point OF fact
two days were wasted mainly because
OF Premier Lloyd Georges insStance
upon reconsideration Of various points
connected with the REPORT OF the Po-
Iish commission Of the peace conicr-
enee The British prime minister IS
not an authority on Poland and the
advice on which he is presumed to
have acted is not Tree from suspicion
of having been influenced by ten
denotes tha, have their origin IN a
partisan view OF Polish politics with
which the British government as
government has TO concern itself. The
result was tha. after the Polish com
mission had been requested to recon.
slider its unanimous report and had
unanimously confirmed its report ITS
conclusions had periofce 10 be adopt
ed "proyislonally'
In the meantime nothing had been
done TO expedite the transport OF
General Iallcr's two divisions OF Fo-
lish troops from France TO Poland,
nor 10 decide the attitude Of the big
powers toward any faurthcr rccalcit-
rance on the part OF Germany.
Struck By Paralysis.
In these conditions the state OF mind
OF theScouncil OF ten was not TAR re-
moved from evaporation. In the lack
of intelligent energy MI LLOYD
George is by no means the only oil
fender. All the chief delegates Of tho
big power, seem to be struck by a
sort OF paralysis when II is a question
of facing and solving rapidly, IN a
big way the problems that cry aloud
for prompt solution. Fortunately
there is a distinct improvement IN the
position as regards the league OF ma
lions covenant. The conference OF
neutrals is distinctly satisfactory and
good progress has been made by the
league of nations committee OF the
o.,r. conference in dealing with the
various amendments that have been
handed in. Ii is hoped the committee
NAV finish this work and thus clear
the ground for the inclusion of the
,ovenant in the peace treaty. But
when all is said and done, the fact
remains the conference must acquire
greater momentum il the situation,
which shows unmi'akable signs OF
boiling up throughout central and
southwestern Europe is not to get
beyond its control Even in Elyp,
and Asia Minor there are IN the max
ings untowar developments mat can

Most OF the ISSUES ihat nave arisen OF
seem likely to arise could be hahdieu
adequately by two or three able. de-
termincd men IN a few days. There
must be truce 10 ulc SA'c"h VI
seeking to escape from Troublesome
questions by constantly referring them
- committees and subcommittee
and sub-yub- b-committees.
That system is but the outcome OF
the general principal adopted OF
shelving all the main solutions and
putting of the evil day when the
council will really have to make up
it's mind. Tha. day cannot be Tar
distant for any audience gets tired
OF hearing these preliminary knocsk
time after lime without the curtain
going up.
