amendment changing the seat Of the league
from Geneva to the Belgian capital.
Chairman Acevedo. Of the Urguayan

great aid to the realization Of Latin-Ameri-
can industrial and commercial prosperity
Baron Maxine, Of the japanese delega-
ton, spoke after President Wilson and said
he regretted that the Presidents speech
had not been translated. He then moved
the Japanese amendment on racial equal

fundamental principle of the league.
Japan. he added. was Obliged to revert to
her original position on this question.
Baron Maxine announced that the effort

equality principle adopted as part of the
covenant.
The Japanese statesman added that he

which was based on deep-rooted national
conviction.
Leon Bourgeois, former Premier. spoke
for France. He said that the French amend
ments to the league, including demand

France. however, would sign the pact
M. Bourgeois declared.
The Japanese and French amendments
were withdrawn, and it is understood that
they have been left for decision by the
league Of nations itself
M. Clemenceau announced the with

The South American representatives ex-
pressed approval at great length before
the covenant was adopted During this
part of the afternoon a distinct rest
lessness was noticeable, President Viii
son walking over to friend. and Premier
Lloyd George disappearing from the room.
When the decision was taken President
Wilson was surrounded by delegates and
friends. who congratulated him on the
constitution of the league, which he had
steered past many quicksands.
The text Of the labor principles for in
sertion in the treaty was adopted. and the
col ference adjourned without considering
responsibilities.
George Nicoll Barnes. British delegate.
explained the nine points which the Labor
Commission wished embodied in the peace
treaty. Sir Robert L. Borden, the Cana
dian Premier, then read the revised nine
points.
The revised clauses say that the stand
ard set by law regarding conditions of
labor should have due regard for the equi-
table and economic treatment of all work
ers lawfully resident in country and also
that a 48-hour week should be aimed at.
The commission had asked for this. except
where climatic conditions interfered.
