PARIS, Jan. 2S.-The league o.
nations is now a fact
We who have been working con-
sistently TO bring such a body into
being feel it is 100 percent further
advanced than we dared to hope
possible six months ago.
The meeting OF the general peace
congress Saturday, was. in my opin-
ion. the greatest political event since
the birth of the United States. 1t was
the birth Of the United States OF
Nations. There were two outstand-
ing things. First, the resolution set
ting forth the purposes of the league
made clear that its initial purpose
was the promotion OF international
cooperation. That is the vital spirit
in which the league should be con-
ceived. and second, there was evil
dence everywhere we investigated
and we have been privileged TO talk
with the men upon whom the bur-
den of this peace settlement is ac-
tually resting: the men doing the
work-that formation of the league
will be quickly accomplished and
that its results will be sure and far
reaching.
Just one point of danger presents
itself. That is the possibility Of the

CRISIS IMPENDS
ON FUTURE Of
SOV|ETs RULE
Relation of Councils to New
Assembly Next Political
Problem of Germany.
BY JOHN GRAUDENZ.

By United Press.
BERLIN. Jan. 27.--A new politi-
cal crisis was brewing today over
the future status OF the workmens
and soldiers councils in which ad-
ministrative power has centered
since the beginning of the revolu-
ton Leaders of the majority So
cialists and democrats coalition
Of whom is expected 10 dominate
the new German republic-were ad-
vocating a program for abolition. or
at least modification of the soviets.
Meanwhile the government would
be run by the present cabinet until
the national assembly could estab-
lish new governmental machinery.
The SPARTA cans We're throwing
what power they still possessed on
the side of the workmen's and SOL
diers' councils. a mass meeting Of
Spartacans in BraunSchwieg yester-
day passed resolutions in favor Of
continuation OF the soviets until the
socialistic revolution is firmly es-
tabHshed regardless OF the sitting OF
the national assembly.
Majority for Assembly
The majority OF the German peo-
pie apparently are determined that
the national assent bly's work shall
be absolute and that soviets and
present cabinet alike must bow 10 its
Will. In view OF this feeling it is be
lieved that the meeting at Weimar
may ultimately resolve itself into the
first congress Of the German repub-
lie
The Prussian elections yesterday
We're conducted without enthusiasm.
Only few pamphlets We're dis
tributed and there was no agitation.

BRITISH START
FIGHT To RULE
ALL SHIPPING
Cut Rates and Garner CargoeS
For Next Three Months.
Charter American

BY United Press :

BY United Press:
WASHINGTON. Jan. 2S.-British
shipping interests have come into
the open In their fight for control
of world shipping
Indications today were that the
great economic war which has
threatened is now on in earnest.
Shipping board circles We're
startled by what officials term unfair
competition by the British in obtain
ing cargoes for their bottoms.
On the heels of an announcement
Of a reduction of Go 2-3 percent in
rates to Great Britain, it was as
serted here that British shipping in
terests have garnered cargoes suf-
ficient for three months and these,
it was declared, were contracted be-
fore the rate reduction and there
fore at the previous high rate.
Charter American Vessels.
All cargoes now offered which
have not been placed under contract
were said TO be accepted by the
British at the new rate. This, il was
pointed out. ties up all cargoes for
which British interests have bot
toms. In addition to this it was as
serted among officials British inter-
ests have begun chartering Ameri-
can-Owned vessels. II was evident
from reports received here that the
chartering of American-owned ships
was being done by the British to
provide space for all cargoes Of
fered under the new rates.
The shipping board Immediately
met the British rate reduction. But
in British shipping circles it was said
that when American vessels obtain
cargOes many handicaps in the way
of foreign port facilities are found
TO be In their path. On the other
hand when the consignment is
shipped in British vessels the ways
are creased" reports indicate.

league OF nations being made 2
league Of governments rather than a
league Of peoples. In order to assure
the latter, an organization must be
devised that will truly and continu-
ously be representative of the peo-
pies of the various countries. IL Is
not a new thing for diplomats to
reach decisions by conference or
telegraph. What is wanted Is an or
ganization by which the direct rep
resentatives OF the people will meet
in parliamentary session. This must
be achieved on the legislative side
OF the league. For the executive
side, prime ministers or similar Off
cials are competent TO function sat
