PARIS, Jan. 90 (By the Associated
Press, THE supreme council of the
peace conference had before it for con-
sideration, on assembling this morn
ing, the Polish question and the IN
structions to be given the allied mis-,
sion to Poland, recently authorized and
about to leave on its eastward Journey
The program called for the appearance
of Polish and Czecho-Slovak represen-
tatives before the council to present
their views.
The future Of the colonies taken from
Germany has assumed a place as one
of the most interesting of the imme-
diate bases of the many sided prob
lens under consideration by the SUI
preme council. Hearings are now being
given to members OF the conference
and colonial experts on the disposition
of the colonies The council is at the
same time proceeding with the con-
sideration of a general policy which
shall be adopted by the five great
powers in this matter.
At present it appears that these
powers through the supreme council
intend to dispose of the subject, con-
fident of the approval Of its decisions
by the conference itself. The hear
ings have already progressed to the
stage where the existence of views
greatly at variance with those set forth
in President Wilson's IA points have
been disclosed
This development has determined the
American delegates to remind the other
powers of that fact and to urge the
adoption Of the American plan at the

WILSON DISCUSSES
MERCHANT MARINE
WITH CHIEF AIDE
President and Hurley Take Up
Problem Following Many
Messages From America
Urging Decision Soon.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.
The News Scifnltar's Il Special Corre-
SHAndeAN


PARIS, Jan, President Wilson
and Edward NJ Hurley devoted atten-
tion yesterday to the problems of the
American merchant marine great
deal of pressure for decision on thts
subject has been coming from the Unit
ed States. Messages received from the
shipping board indicate the insistence
that there should be some determtna-
ton as to whether many of the ships
which are unsuitable to American pur-
poses should be sold or placed on CON
tracts, and whether come now under
new contracts let with the money OBJ
tanned from the sale Of these Vessels
under construction, or whether foreign
offers for them should be accepted.
The American phases are not alone
involved In the present situation and
the general development or the Ameln- m
can policy depends directly upon Ger
tain other questions, the economic char
acter of which becomes paramount Just
now in the diplomatic discussion.
There Is every reason to expect an
early decision but Il Is doubtful wheth-
er much can be done Tor a tortnieht
Mr. Hurley plans to leave here WITHIN
a week for America. He will present
all data he has obtained here to the
shipping board and get ready the gem
eral program Of policy for submission
to President Wilson on his return to
America, about Feb, 25.
The impression seems to prevail that
when all problems are finally solved,
the sale of the International mercahtlle
marine vessels probably will be sane
toned though precautions will be taken
in the case Of other vessels to sateRuaiu

as possible in order to develop our

POLISH QUESTION
BEFORE COUNCIL

very outset in order to keep the rival
claimants within the bounds OF fair
ness.
This plan which was discussed Mon
day and is receiving immediate further
consideration, looks to international
control of the colonies, backward ma
tionalities and tribes by individual pow
ers or by agents to be known as man
datories' Of the league of nations.
These agents are to derive all their
powers from the league and to act en-
tirely- on the lines of policy dictated by
that body.
League as Guardian.
The distribution of these guardian.
ships Is to be made by the league of
nations; SO it again happens as in the
case of many of the projects of re-
form broached at the conference that
its successful application Is wholly de-
pendent upon the consummation of the
league.
One argument against the leagues
control Of the colonies advanced by the
British colonial officials was that the
"mandatories' might feel themselves
saddled with enormous financial re-
sponsibilities in an effort to develop
their wards and yet be subject to criti-
cism in the event that they failed to
bring them forward,
President Wilson himself felt called
upon to answer this argument by the
statement that by the American plan
contemplated the mandatory power
would be liable only for administrative
