Men weather makers, before they

Mounted Guard on
His Fourteen Points

What was essential, so far as Mr..
Wilson and those associated with him
were concerned, was that the league Of
nations as it developed should in no
respect do violence to the famous four
teen points. But the fourteen points
were not at this end the basis for a
league of nations or anything else.
Thus the Presidents position in
course Of time developed rather into
an inactive attitude. So far from pro-
posing, he remained silent. His real
contribution, it would seem, was to
veto at various points where sugges-
tions conficted overnight with his
principles as proclaimed in America.
After certain time, however, it be-
came clear that if real progress was
to be made it would be necessary to
cease discussion Of abstract principles
and get down to actual construction of
machinery. At this point the Pres
ident was helpless. His associates
in the American commission were use
less. l. fell to the British logically

evening, it is added, order was re-

through the decision of the authorities

less task of translating aspiration into
q machine. Many European men, like
Leon Bourgeois in France, like half a
dozen men in England, had devoted the
better part of their lives to study and
work along the lines of the preserva-
tion of international peace and the ere
alton of international amity. Great
Pritish statesmen, like Lord Robert
Cecil, like General SHUTS, like Mr.. As
quith, had in recent times outlined spe-
cifically and definitely certain sketches
of machine to be called a league of
nations.
All these various tentative sugges-
tions and proposals confronted Mr..
Wilson on his arrival. 1t was sup
posed by many that he in his turn
would present for his country the
American view of what league OF
nations should be. In fact he had nc

paralysis resulted during a certain pc

German Food Plot Foiled

LONDON, Feb. 1O.-What the British
Attorney General describes as tne
most expensive. sustained and care
fully organized effort to supply the
central empires with foodStutfs yet ex-
posed" came up in the Prize Court
to-day The foodstuffs are valued at
81 AS 900 and were contained in ship
ments covering a period of eighteen
months.
Fourteen ships were engaged in the
attempt. Two of these vessels were of
American register, four Norwegian,
four Swedish and four Danish.
The Crown Attorney suggested that,
although the names of different per-
sons appear as shippers, all the con-
signments were in fact made by K. and
L. Neumond, Of New York and Frank
fort, acting for the German govern
ment.
He charged that the cargoes shipped
on the steamers Dorigo and Henrik
were intended for capture by the Ger
mans. while the cargoes on the other
boats were to be forwarded to Ger
many through Denmark.

Super State Shown
To Be Impracticable

But very early in the discussion at
Paris it became clear that a super state
was an impossibiiity. The British were
not going to give up their navy, which
had just saved them and the world
from Germany to junta in which the
decision might turn on the vote of San
Domingo or Uruguay. The French, on
their part, with their army, which was
for long the only barrier to German
triumph in Europe, were not prepared
to surrender this army to the direction
Of an international organization in
which the ultimate decision might rest
with the de facto government of Vene-
zuela.
And the American commissioners in
Paris were equally unable at all times
to guarantee that the United States
Congress would accept any treaty Of
Paris which places the United States
policy for the future in the hands Of
the European countries, when these
constitute a majority in the league Of
nations.
We had then easily and promptly the
end of super state. Next came the
problem of disposing Of the German
colonies and Turkish territories. In
der Mr.. Wilson's various utterances
a logical solution of the division of
these colonies and territories among
the great powers was practically impos-
sible; a satisfying solution was found
in q mandatory system under which,
for example, Great Britain does not
annex Mesopotamia, or France the Kam-
erun, but each undertakes respect
lively to represent the league of ma
tions in that territory and to admin
ster it, agreeing to report to the
league of nations and pledging Itself
to set up no exclusive economic priv
ileges for its nationals.

has taken a firm stand in the contro-
versy which has arisen between the
Chinese and Japanese governments re

He is entirely out of agreement with
the desires of the Japanese that the
Chinese peace delegates to the confer

This attitude of the President has
been strongly ndorsed throughout
China and has elected the unanimous
approval of the Northern and Southern

Omsk Story Officially Doubted

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-A press
dispatch from Vladivostok to-day stat
ing the Omsk government has accepted
an offer of men, money and munitions
from Japan to be used in the war
against the Bolsheviki, and that in
consideration Of this assistance Japan
is to receive iron and coal concessions
in the Priamur district of Siberia, was
considered unfounded in Japanese
official circles here to-day.
Japan, it is known, is in complete
accord with the associated governments
on the Russian question: and it has
never been the intention of the Toxic
government to interfere in the internal
affairs of Russia, believing the Rus
slams themselves ought to be per
mitted to settle their own quarrels.
1t was in pursuance of this policy that
the greater part of the Japanese ex-
petition to Siberia was withdrawn
some weeks ago.
1t was recalled that K Hara, the
present Premier of Japan, and his
party, which formed the more i'm
portant part of the Opposition under
the Terauchi Ministry, opposed inter
vention in Russia and we're not favor
ably disposed toward the Siberian ex-
pedition. Japan, it was declared to-
day, will not act Independently in re
gard to the Russian situation, but will
continue to associate herself with the
associated nations, standing ready te
assist Russia in whatever way the
Allies and America may agree upon

Situation in Morocco
And Z gypt Initiated

Actually, this means that instead of
owning these territories outright varl-
GUS great powers will administer them,
much as France administers Morocco
in theory under the Algeciras agree
ment, or as Great Britain has admin
stered Egypt under no agreement.
At this point there was raised, and
remained unanswered, the question as
to how many of the worlds foundlings
the United States will adopt. Con
stantinople has been suggested, Ar
menia and Liberia, but the American
representatives in Paris for obvious
reasons were unable to commit the
United States even to an Armenian
trusteeship, which is one that offers
very great opportunity for unseltish
international service.
1t will be seen, then, that in all the
great problems 1T was impossible for
the Paris conference to reach clear-cut
decisions. Had Mr.. Wilson brought
programme ratified in advance by the
Senate and indorsed by the people of
the United States he might have i'm
posed a very considerable portion Of
it upon the nations of Europe. When
he was unable to bring such a pro
gramme it became clear that no other
/ force could impose such organization
upon the nations here represented and
that the league of nations was bound
inevitably to remain a loose confeder-
alton Of like minded nations, destitute
of power to enforce it's decisions and
condemned to rely upon moral influ-
encc.
Now. this will seem TO many Amer
cans very small harvest for a very
large sowing, and yet, as I said before
the fact is the nations now in confer
ence in Paris are themselves in theil
association and cooperation becoming
day by day more and more of an eff
fective league of nations. The fact i:
many Of the aspirations for league
Of nations are being expressed in the
method and in the spirit of the Paris
Conference The perfect machine which
was to be a world police force will no
spring fully armed from the confer
cnce. but out Of deliberations, decision
and joint agreements very usetu
organization for preservation Of worl'
peace seems likely to emerge.
