WILSON DENIES
DELAYING PEACE.
President Issues Statement Cow
ering Doings Of Commits

American Executive says Entire
World Has Had Full Month In
Which to Discuss Original
Plan Of Covenant.

Paris, March 28.-The following
statement has been issued by Presi.
dent Wilson:
preston which seems to exist in some
quarters that it is the discussions Of
the commission on the league Of ma
lions that are delaying the final for
mutation Of peace, am very glad to,
take the opportunity of reporting that
the conclusions of this commission
were the first to be laid before the
plenary conference.
"They were reported on Feb. "a and
the world has had, full month in
which to discuss every feature Of
the draft covenant then submitted.
Differences Utilized.
During the last few days the com.
mission has been engaged in an effort
to take advantage of the criticisms
which the publication of the covenant
has fortunately drawn, out. A commit
tee Of the commission has also had the
advantage Of conference with repre-
sentatives of the neutral states, who
are evincing very deep interest and
practically unanimous desire to
align themselves with the league. !
THE revised covenant Is now prac-
tically finished. 1t IL in the hands OF
committee for the final process of
drafting and will almost Immediately
be presented second time to the
public.
Conference at Odd Times.
1.-THE conferences of the commission
have invariably been held at times
when they could not interfere with the
consultation of those who have under
taken to formulate the general conclu.
sions Of the conference with regard to
the many other complicated problems
of peace. So that the members Of the
commission congratulate themselves
on the fact that no part Of the confer
ences has ever iuterposed any form Of
delay"
The super.council of the president
and premiers, known as the Council Of
Four, divided its labors between the
white House" and M. Clemenceau's
private Office, adjoining the war office.
The Franco.German frontier was the
chief topic of discussion, this follow
ing upon an agreement reached OFT
PREPARATION for war damages. 1t is un.
derstood this agreement includes the
vital point Of the total amount Of In
demnity, which will not be announced
lat present, as likely to cause discus
sion and arouse hostility in enemy
quarters.

Paris. March 29.-The proposed
amendment to the league Of nations
covenant regarding the Monroe doc

milton of the binding force of the poll

and confirm Japanese claims to pre-
ponderance in China and the Orient.
Fear is expressed that the opposi-

Experts are trying to find a formula
that will overcome this objection, and
meanwhile the amendment has been
withheld from insertion in the cove

Premiers Discuss Poland.
The conditions Of preliminary
peace with Germany are still being
considered by President Wilson and
the premiers of Great Britain. France
and Italy. The four government heads
deliberated on the question of the
Polish frontier, according to the news
papers, which believe that there will
be some difficulty in reaching an agree
ment on the principle of the annexa-
ton to Poland of territory containing
two to three million Germans.
The papers believe that the council
will reach a decision sooner on the
question of reparations than on the
Polish question.
French Demand Saar Basin.
The council of four continued its ex-
animation into the question of the
| German frontier. France claimed all
her 1914 frontier and the Saar Basin,
leaving to the German population not
included in the frontier political auton-
omy.
It was demanded by the French del.
egate that the Rhine serve France as
a neutral frontier, Germany having the
left bank of the stream without forti-
fed works, troops or railways.
Increased precautions have been
taken to safeguard President Wilson
and the premiers with whom he is in
daily conference. So carefully have
the plans been made that not even the
chief Of the American secret service
squad is informed as to when the meet.
ings will take place.
Up to the present some Of the news
papers have carried schedules of the
movements of the President with the
result that crowds invariably have
gathered to witness the arrival Of
President Wilson and his conferees.
