PARIS, Jan, 9.--The Balkans, which
have been considered the world s
greatest war menace-and where the
spark that started the biggest war of
all time was kindled-have anticipat.
ed the leagoe of nations by estab-
lishment of similar organization.
This league within a league, which
was organized for the purpose of
eliminating the Balkan war threat,
will be known as the Balkan confeder-
alton.
Foreign Minister Politis, head ',f
the Greek peace delegation who
made these facts known today, said
the confederation would in no way
interfere with the league of nations.
He declared It was a necessary ar
rangement for handling the interna.
tional affairs of this particular corner
of the world.
Greece has reached a complete
understanding with the Serbians,
Rumanians, Jugo-Slavs and Czecho,
Slovaks regarding future cooperation
in the Balkans" Politis said.
This will result eventually in per.
lection of the Balkan confederation
which has Teen a definite Greek
policy since 1921, when it was the
principal point in the program for
which Greece waged it's war for in
dependence. Later it was espoused
by the Statesman Krykoupis. Since
1910 it has been adopted and main
tanned by Premier Venizelos.
"The confcdelation's attitude to.
ward Bulgaria is the same as Presi.
dent Wilson's attitude toward Ger
many. A place awaits Bulgaria with
in the confederation when she shows
her repentance and fitness for it.
The reasons for Bulgaria's present
exclusion are many. First, she be
trayed Krykcupis' confederation plans
to Turkey. Then she treacherously
attacked Greece and Serbia in 1913
and Serbia in 1915. All of these
things prevented realization Of the
confederation heretofore. This atti-
tude toward Bulgaria is not the policy
of Venizelos alone, but of the entire
nation. Venizelos would not attempt
to carry out this idea of initially ex
cluding Bulg&ria-an could not sue
ceed anyway--without the peoples
support.
y Greece enters the peace conference
without an apology for her late en-
trance in the war. The time having
arrived when secret diplomacy must
be abolished, can now venture that
Venizelos was ready to do in 1915
what he did do in 1917. but the allies
informed him that Greece's entry al
that time would be incompatible with
their interests. Finally, when Vent
zelos went to Salonika and established
government favorable to the allies
he did so neither without the allies
consent or support. The wisdom OF
this policy is demonstrated today in
the successful establishment of the
Balkan confeder ration.
Greece is in the fullest accord
with President Wilson's program fol
the league of nations. She was at
tempting to contribute to this unives
sal league by doing her part toward
affecting accord in the Balkans

Washington. June 17.-Further IN
structions from President Wilson with
respect to hts intended speaking tour
Of the country to present his view Of
the necessity for 4 league OF nations
were received at the White House to-
day.
: The president expressed the belief
that he would be able to leave Paris
on June "a or 25. He will go from
Paris to Belgium and his first speech
urging the ratification of the covenant
probably will be made In one OF the
mans, not unlikely Malines. the home

dent will visit and whom he greatly

the unfinished business At the White
House which demands his personal ac-
ton. then 90 before congress and the
day after his address to congress leave
Washington for the west.
The president has made an inter-
estfng request of those who will ar
range his speaking engagements 1t
is that they use every effort to have
the meetings made up. for the most
part. of people who are not in agree
ment with his league of nations policy.
This request OF the president gave
his adSisers great delight. They said
It indicated the president was abso-
lutely sure OF himself and his cause.
Senators on both sides Of the league
OF nations issue were much interested
today In the news from Atlantic City
that the Federation OF Labor has de-
cided to give full consideration to the
covenant. particularly the clauses
which relate to labor.
The fact that this decision was
reached on motion of Andrew Furu-
seth, who Ia opposed to the ratification
of the covenant. gave much comfort
to the senator's who are in opposition.
II indicated to them the possibility
that the labor element possibly might
reverse fits attitude which up to this
time has been distinctly favorable TO
ratification.

Senate Resolution
to Peace Conference
Paper On ireland Goes As Doc
ument from the United States
Senate.
BY william j. Butler.

Paris, June 1.-THE American SEN
ate's resolution on Ireland has been
transmitted to the peace conference
not as an official document coming
from the American peace commission,
but merely as a document from the
senate. This was done, it is explained.
SO as to place the responsibility for
the resolution where it belongs"
namely, on the senate, instead of the
executive heads of the United States
government
The question OF questions now Is
what Premier Clemenceau. as presi-
dent OF the peace conference, will do
with the document. Will he call a
plenary session for the purpose of sub
hitting II to the conference as
whole? This. it is suggested. might
be deeply resented by the British peace
delegation. 1t is possible that Clemen-
ceau will send the document on to
Premier Lloyd George.
At any rate, 1t is considered extreme
~ doubtful whether the resolution
will ever be considered by the confer
ence as a whole.
Meanwhile, sharp controversy has
broken out between the Trish-Ameri-
can commissioners here-Frank r.
Walsh. of Kansas City, and ex-Gover-
nor Edward r. Dunne. OF Illinois
and Chief Secretary for Ireland Mac
Pherson. The latter characterized the
commissioners atrocities report as
"an outrage and wanton and ridicul-
Gus travesty on the actual facts
To this.. Messrs. Walsh and Dunno
replied today that the report only
touches half the truth. and that they
withhold some OF the most revolving"
details which, they add, are in Mac
Phersons possession. They accuse the
latter of being one of those officials
m ost deeply involved in the atrocities. ~
