Equal Treatment for
All aliens in AL Lands
Demanded by Japanese

PARIS, March 20 (By The Associ-
ated Press).--A Japanese amendment
to the covenant of the league of ma
tions providing that the contracting
parties shall agree to grant equal and
just treatment" to all aliens within their
borders who are nationals of states
members Of the league will be submit
ted to the Supreme Council, 1t Is
learned by Reuters from japanese
sources.
The standpoint OF the japanese is
that all citizens of nations deemed suf-
ficiently advanced to become members
or the league should have equal rights
when travelling or living in foreign
countries, it is said.
While the Japanese delegates do not
accept the view that treatment of for
eigners and discriminating immigra-
tion laws are purely matters of do
mestic policy, they say they are con-
tent to ask from the league only q
recognition OF the claim of their people
now living in foreign countries to
equal rights with other aliens.
Dominions Oppose 1t
The Dominion delegates here heartily
concur in the view of the British dele
cation that the question of the equal
ity of treatment of all nationalitiex
throughout the world is not matter
for the league of nations
prominent Australian expressed
the opinion that the Commonwealth
was not prejudiced against the jap
anese, but had great admiration for
them. Nevertheless, he said;- Aus
tralians believed that it would be bet
ter for the future world if each race
should develop along its own distinc-
tive lines.
Neutral countries of Europe, Asia
and South America were given an op-
portunity to-day to express their views
and propose amendments to the league
OF nations plan. Nearby neutrals such
as Holland and Switzerland had sent
delegates in response to the Invitation
of the Supreme Council, while more
distant countries were represented by
ambassadors and ministers residing in
Paris.
The meeting was held at the Hotel
de Crillon, the American headquarters.
in the same room where the covenant
was framed. 1t was purposed TO con-
tinue the session tomorrow if neccs-

proposals and prepare them for sub

pedItionary Force without nroper

commander Of the regiment, told the
Circumnavigators' Club at the Hotel
Commodore last night. All they had
had, he said, was rife training, and
at this they had spent only eight days
on the range.
"Thc ignorance Of the whole Ameri
can military establishment of what
modern warfare actually meant, and
this after Europe had been torn hy
war nearly four years, was astound
ing said Col. Hayward. II do not
blame the National Guard, for the
members did everything expected of
them; or the Plattsburg men, for these

was American was our expected pay
and the tattered uniforms and wornout
shoes.

Peace Treaty, WitIl League
Covenant, To Be Ready
March %, Says House

PARIS, March 20 (By The Asscci-
ated Pressl.-President Wilson, N.
Clemenccau, the French Premier, and
David Lloyd George, the British Prime
Minister, are holding series of meet
ings for the adjustment of differences
between them. They conferred at ths
residence of Lloyd George to-day, the
session lasting from o'clock in the
afternoon until late in the evening.
The differences constitute some Of
the larger questions pending now
reparations for war losses and the
Franco German frontier. These ques-
tions, for the moment, have assumed
paramount Importance, taking place
even ahead of the league of nations,
for while the work of the commission
revising the covenant is proceeding
rapidly, much difficulty is being met
i'll reaching an accord on reparations
and frontiers.
The chief issue of the question Of
reparations is not what Germany
should pay, but what she can pay.
The commissions which have studied
the subject have gradually reduced the
claims TO a total of about SAC, ,000, ,oe0,-
geo.
How far President Wilson is adher-
ing to the ideas of the American mem
bers of the commission is not known.
but it is thought probable they are
serving as guide for him.
Ready for Signing March %
Colonel House told British journal
lists to-day he was convinced that the
peace treaty, including the league OF
nations covenant, would be ready for
signature on March %, and added that
he would be disappointed if the Ger
mans we're not at Versailles three
weeks hence
Premier Lloyd George told the Brit
lsh newspapermen that he had decided
to remain in Paris until the peace
treaty was signed. He expressed the
opinion that one of the reasons for
the present labor difficulties in Eng
land was the fact that the treaty had
not been completed, which led to q
feeling of disquiet in that country. He
said he was "unabe to imagine that
labor leaders would resort to force at
the present moment"

Despite Americas splendid success
in war waged against foreign autcc-
racy, our country is menaced by the
growing power Of an autocratic and re-

in danger of losing many of the lib
critics and advances won in the course

grave likelihood Of our being left stag

President Wilson has asked for food

as a first aid, but at bottom the secur-

working interest the people take in
those institutions.
Citizens having no interest In a gov.
eminent, no economic interest In the
success Of that government, are apt to

women who have invested In their
government either by way Of conduct.

government securities have something
at stake and desire to maintain stable
institutions. Such persons are not
necessarily reactionists. They may
be quite progressive and anxious for

Consequently the effective barrier
