PRESIDENT GAINS GREAT
DIPLOMATIC TRIUMPH
Agreement of Powers That League
Shall Supervise German Col
onles Victory.
BY OLIVER OWEN KUHN,
staff Correspondent of The Star.

BY Wireless
PARIS, January 31.-President VIII
son scored the greatest diplomatic
triumph so far registered at the peace
conference when he obtained an
agreement that the league of nations
should have supervisory power over
the German colonies. with immediate
mandatory power over particular
nations. Her. tofore these were only
pledges of support for the league, but
acceptance of the Observation-Disclosures
scheme makes it absolutely incumbent
on the powers for the league to see
that the principle OF world control
would be carried out.
The league must be in concrete
form, with adequate machinery 20
carry out decisions of the conference
and it cannot be chimerical in
character. The conference committee
is now drafting the provisions of the
league and it is thought there always
might have been a chance of dis
agreem ent. with subsequent casting
overheard of the league idea as i'm
practicable. In the settlement and
control of world affairs agreements
placing in the hands of the league
many questions and duties makes it
absolutely incumbent that they be
effected.
Though the conference committee is
giving prolonged consideration TO
many questions confronting the world
generally, il is conceded now that the
early formation of a working league
will permit final settlement of the
many issues TO rest with the league
instead of the conference, thereby
fastening the day when a peace pact
can be signed.
