large quantities of supplies by the
Germans. These supplies, which re-

such sales and declaring them void.

EST LEAGUE AS COUNCIL NEE
Russian Representation at
Peace Council is Question
to be Decided TODAY
BY LOWELL MELLETT.

Ey United Press
PARIS. Jan. representation
for Russia at the peace congress was
expected 10 be definitely determined
upon at today's session of the inter-
allied war council.
The associated powers have reach
ed the obvious conclusion that dis
cussion of world peace would be alb
solutely futile without the vast pop
ulation of Russia being considered.
They are also understood to realize
that the Russian problem cannot be
solved without the consent and CO.
operation of the people themselves.
Propose Investigation.
A program for official investiga-
tion of actual conditions in Russia
was to be fully discussed today.
This, it was believed, will result in
| a commission being sent into that
country. which would report back
directly to the conference. Upon the
report would be based some form of
reorganization for the soviet govern
ment and other factions. that they
might send accredited representa-
tives to Versailles.
Formal action was also to be TAX
on today on the question of grant
ing representation to the British
dominions This not only carries out
the league of nations idea, but is
significant as bringing additional
western thought into the conference.
Americas entrance into the war
transformed the issues from Eu-
ropean to world wide scope. and
now old world political ideas are
in contact with those of the new
world. Canadian and American
! ideals, for instance, are closely al
lied.
Vote Only on Colonial Question.
Provisional agreement has already
been reached regarding delegates
for the British dominions. It only
remains for this agreement to be
confirmed. Under the present
scheme, Great Britain and her col
onies would vote separately, the lat
ter being drawn in only when,
questions directly affecting them are
discussed. thereby eliminating the
very remote danger of a packed
convention"
The only countries in fact, whose
representation has not been at least
tentatively fixed are the two which
made separate peace settlements
with the central powers-Russia and
| Roumania. There seems to be no OBJ
stacle in the way of granting dele
