GERMANS TO PRESENT TPLANF0R
LEAGUE OF NATIONS; WILSON'S
PROGRAM OPPOSED As MAKING
five GREAT POWERS DICTATORS
Election Of One Representative for Each Million of Population
Proposed; Maximum Of Ten Delegates for Each Nation,
Abolition of Secret Diplomacy Control of News and Per.
manent Council Recommended.
BY FRANK j. TAYLOR.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Berlin. April 26.-Professor Schueck-
ing, member of the German peace
commission scheduled to leave Mon
day for Versailles today outlined Ger,
many's plans for a league of nations
They are rapidly being whipped into
shape for presentation at the confer
ence.
President Wilson's plan, which the
Paris conference adopted, is not sat
isfactory' because it is a league Of
diplomats. or governments, rather than
Of people," said Scheucking.
sour league would be q parIia-
nent made up Of Representatives
elected by tho people, ono for
each million population. No ma
tion would be allowed more than
ten.
DIcTAToRs OPPOSED
wilson's league makes five big
powers dictators of world affairs
through an executive committee
which we would abolish, since
small nations and neutrals would
not submit to domination. We
propose . standing council ssrv-
ing continuously, chosen by each
nation naming several Of their
world parliament delegates who
would In turn name a limited
council from their number.
Our league would abolish secret
diplomacy control news so as to pre-
vent falsifying and would have far
more extensive powers than Wilson
proposed. We would make the parlia-
ment IA governing body controlling
world problems the same as your ma
tional government controls the United
States. II would abolish war by force
Hostilities of any kind would be an
offense against the league. Freedom
OF travel would be controlled by an
international police. There would be
no national armaments.
REGULATE LABOR.
Colonies would be controlled by
areas, through a world commission,
except those independent, like Canada
and Australia. Our league would reg
ulate labor and guarantee minority
populations, like the Germans in Po-
land their own language and culture
I'VE propose to present our plan at
Versailles. We hope for acceptance in
part, at least. We have embodied a
number of features from neutrals,
using The Hague tribunal as a basis"

Private AdviCes Received at the
White House Today Indicate
Improvement in the Situa-
ton.
PRESIDENT DESIRES TO
PUT NATIONS ON RECORD
Secretary of Interior Lane Is
sues Statement Showing I'M
portance of Fiume as Port
for Jugo-Slavia.

Washington, April 26.-The itaI-
ian situation is clearing rapidly,
according to private advices rec
ceived at the White House today.
1t 10 stated tho presidents action
on Fiume is generally endorsed by
participants in tho peace confer
ence.
According to authorities here, the
presidents action was taken in order
to get definitely on record nations with
whom the United States would deal
in the future on the international prin-
ciples for which this country stands.
Confidence is expressed here that with
the return of Orlando and Sonnino to
Italy decision on the future course
of the Italians will come soon and COM
plete adjustment of the situation would
be accomplished without great delay.
LANES STATEMENT
Regarding the situation, Secretary
of the Interior Lane today issued q
statement as follows:
"Fiume was not to be given to Italy
by the secret treaty made on Italy's
entrance in the war, called London
treaty. Under this treaty, Fiume was
to go to Croatia, which is now part
of Jugo- -Slayia. And this is where
President Wilson wishes it to go nova
"The question of giving Fume
to Italy thus becomes a question
of good judgment and President
Wilson and Premier Lloyd George
and Premier CIemenceau unitedIy
concluded that to give Fiume to
Italy would be unjust to tho new
republic east of the Adriatic, as
Fiume is the only port on the east
ern side of the Adriatio which can
be serviceabIe as a sea entrance
TO Jugo- Slavia and adjoining coun-
tries.
1.-The Italian claim is based on ItaI
ian desires, not on any other right thai
the claim that it's peoples are Italian
and they should become a part of
/ Italy, as they were 100 years ago. But
! to crafty this desire now, would be
manifestly to wrong others and thus
maintain a sore spot on the Adriatic
which would cause constant irritation
| Italy with Venice and Trieste can live
+, happily and independently without
Fiume. while the young republics on
the east of the Adriatic could not have
free life without access directly to
/ the world by water"
