PARIS, March 31.-The belief hith-
erto generally held that the draft of
the league of nations was to be re-
ferred to a plenary session conference
for final ratification. as matter sem
arate from the treaty of peace, NV
seems to be unjustihed.
Various ind cations are that the
present intention merely is to dispatch
copies Of the amended document 30 all
parties Interested IN securing indi-
vidual adherence tc it and avoid public
discussion. There is a growing con-
viction That this ;nethoG viii he ado2t-

interests of the conjoined nations l
raised the point whether the conference
would be accorded such opportunity

Inc position which the big four
was confronted was simple. They
knew now that Germany would not
slgn any such treaty as had practically
osen agreed upon. They knew also
that boisheyism which had reached
Budapest and threatened Vienna was
equally menacing in Poland and in Ru-
mania. They knew that if Germany
refused to sign their treaty of peace
they would be compelled to undertake
new military campaign if they were
to enforce their terms. and thew were
informed also that unless they under

PARIS, March 29-As l write this
article the Paris conference is debating
two things:
FIRST, as Lloyd George and Mr.. VIII
son would have it, Whether we shall
make a modus vivendi with the Boil

and they came TO Budapest, and we are
now debating whether we shall try to
invite them to some new place of con-

SECOND. we are planning whether
we shall sacrifice the Eastern peoples.

ing at treaty of peace which the Ger
mans will sign.
We are debating whether we shall
not change our minds about Danzig ard
the Vistula corridor, whether we shall
not sacrifice the Polish rights to Allied
interests.
We are. in fact, debating a new
treaty by which we placate the Ger
mans and surrender to the Bolshevists.

upon our ideals
But obviously two dangers arise.
