Women Represented
Equally with Men
Fhe league will have permanent
secretariat, under a secretary gen
eral. The secretariat and all other
bodies under the league may include
women, equally with men. A per-
manent court of international JUS
tice and various permanent commits
sions and bureaus are also to be es-
tablished.
z The member states agree: GAY
To reduce their armaments,
plans for such reduction being sug-
gested by the council, but only
adopted with the consent of the
states themselves, and thereafter
not to increase them without the
concurrence of the council. OBJ To
exchange full information of their
existing armies and their naval and
lnlltary programmes. CO. To re-
spect each others territory and per-
sonal independence, and to guaran-
tee them against foreign aggression.
CD To submit all international
disputes either to arbitration or to
inquiry by the council, which latter,
however, may not pronounce an
opinion on any dispute whose sub
ject matter falls solely within a
states domestic jurisdiction; in no
case to go to war till three months
after an award, or an unanimous
recommendation has been made, and
even then not to 60 to war with a
state which accepts the award or
recommendation. (E) TO regard a
state which has broken the covenant
rs having committed an act of war
against the league, to break off all
economic and other relations with IL
and to allow free passage through
their territories to the troops Of
those states which are contributing
armed force on behalf Of the league.
Each Member to Say
IL II Favors Force
The council is TO recommend what
amount of force, II any, should be
supplied by the several governments
concerned, but the approval of the
latter is necessary. Estates not
members Of the league will be in
vited to accept the obligations Of the
league for the purpose of particular
disputes, and if they fail to comply
may be forced.) (F) Not to consider
any treaty binding till it has been
communicated to the league, which
will then proceed to publish it, to ad-
NIT the right of the assembly to ad-
wise the reconsideration Of treaties
and international conditions which
30 not accord with present needs,
and to be bound by no obligations in
consistent with the covenant.
A state which breaks it's agree
ments may be expelled from the
league by the council.
a. The covenant does not affect
the validity of international
engagements, such as treaties
of arbitration or regional under
standings like the Monroe Doctrine,
New-York tribune., 1919-04-13

and territories of the ottoman empire.
1t is specifically provided that sugges-
tions Of the council for reduction of
armaments shall be adopted only with
the consent of the affected states them
selves. Provision is made for man
datories by states which are willing"
to be mandatories.

The Panic

Aftsr the Hungarian revolution the
PafiS conference had panic. It set
aside the Idea OF erecting strong In.
dependent national states In the east
OF Europe, which should both be bull
"nfk against Iiolshevism and a con
tflbutlon to the restoration Of the bal
"nee Of power in Europe. destroyed by
the collapse OF Russia, and addressed
itself uniquely to the task Of so re-
ducing the penalties to be inflicted
upon Germany ms to persuade Germany
to sign the treaty of peace. In a
word, Poland was sacrificed to the po-
litical necessities Of those responsible
for making the treaty of peace in Paris
desrous of having this peace accepted
by the Germans.
Paderewski has now come to Paris
to plead the cause of Poland. lie has
declared-and no one doubts his state
ment-that if Poland is denied her
rightful exit to the sea, her economic
independence of Germany, particularly
after this gift had not only been prom
lscd her but indorscd by the cxpc TT
commissions Of the conference, moth
ing can prevent an immediate Bolshe-
vik revolution in the Polish state and
the permanent loss to Western Europe

stance been supported and influenced
by Lloyd George There is at ]east
reason to believe that Lloyd George,
in the face Of the recent political up-
Eeaval in England, has changed front
and Is prepared to support the old ar
rangemeht. President Wilson stands
ilrm against giving Danzig to Poland
and inclines to favor creating an in
ternational free city France at all
times has steadfastly supported the
claim of the Poles and continues to ad-
vocate the only solution which could
insure the salvation Of Poland.
The question is now to become one
of the critical issues of the whole
Paris conference. Poland is not yet
lost, either to Bolshevism or to the
Germans, but unless the Paris Confer
ence returns to its original decision
1t is possible to expect Bolshevism in
Warsaw as it is now in Budapest, as
it is expected in Vienna, as it is
threatened in Rumania.
New-York tribune., 1919-04-13

peace conference, which is the
league of nations in it's first stage, to
adopt toward Bolshevism such a policy
as would restore peace in the world ha 3
been to destroy the prestige of the
league of nations as peace bringing
document.
The feeling in Paris to-day on all
sides is that the league of nations doc
ument when it is signed will remain
no more than document, because it
provides no power and no way to deal
with Bolshevism.
The failure of The Hague confer
ence in the presence of Germany in
arms discredited the earlier machinery
for promoting world peace.
The failure of the Paris conference
in the presence of anarchy out for con-
quest has had similar effect.
Meantime, Bolshevism marches from
success to success.
The British in Archangel are facing
disaster.
The French have evacuated Odessa.
The Crimea is about to be abandoned.
A real decline in the appeal of the
league of nations in Paris-a decline
which is one of the considerable cir
eumstances Of the last three weeks
has been the realization that, even when
constituted, the league of nations
would have no power to restore peace
in the world, because 1t would have
no power to repress anarchy on the
march.

New-York tribune., 1919-04-13
Italy's altitude

Not less difficult is the question of
Fiume. Here President Wilson is
standing squarely against the bestowal
OF this port upon the Italians, with
tho consequent deprivation of the new
Jugo- Slavic state of it's chief gateway
on the sea- The Italians have twice
threatened to quit the Paris Confer
ence if they did not receive ITume.
There is now a strong movement on
foot to borrow the proposed compro-
mise ss TO Danzig and make Fiume
another international free port
Both those compromise are obvious.
~ calculated not TO make permanent
peace. but to insure later dispute
both represent the inability Of the
Paris Conference to take a strong po=
sltion and hold It, In both, President
Wilson ut the outset accepted The view
or the expert commissioners, In both
he supported primarily the claims Of
the small nations to existence. He
ctll stands by the Jugo- Slavs. but like
all other members OF the Paris Con-
ference he has been led away from
Danzig settlement by that wave of ap-
prchension following the Hungarian
revolution, a wave Of emotion clcverly
employed by the German orators to
serve their own interest

Ottoman Empire To Be
Put Under Mandatory
= The former German colonies
and the territories of the Otto
man Empire are to be administered
in the interests of civilization by
.tates which are willing to be man
dataries of the league, which will
exercise general supervision.
& The member states accept GER
tain responsibilities with regard
to labor conditions, the treatment
of natives, the white slave traffic,
the opium traffic, the arms traffic
with uncivilized and semi-civilized
countries, transit and trade condi-
tions, public health and Red Cross
societies.
7 The league is recognized as the
central body interested in CO.
ordinating and assisting interna-
tional activities generally.
q Amendments to the Covenant re-
quire the approval Of all the
states on the council and a simple
majority of those in the assembly.
States which signify their dissent
from amendments thus approved
are not bound by them, but, in this
case, cease to be members Of the
league.
