pIO NOT CHANGE OPINIONS
Decision Of Executive Council Will
Not BE Binding Unless Approved
BY All sienatory Nations.

Washington. - President Wilson
told members of the congressional
foreign relations committees that un.
less the United States entered league
OF nations. the league would fail and
chaos and turmoil beyond description
would result in Europe. Views Of re-
publican members opposing the league
constitution as reported to the peace
conference apparently were not
changed by the conference.
Hitchcock, of the senate commit.
tee, said the President held that de.
cisions OF the leagues executive coun-
Gil on disarmament would not be bind.
ing until specifically approved by
each signatory nation, and that conse-
quently the American Congress would
have the opportunity to pass on the
apportionment OF armament for every
nation concerned. The President said
that section had been misconstrued.
Concerning the clause giving the
right to the league to consider acts
threatening world peace. President
Wilson said that the clause was in
definite and would be made more clear
by writing in a safeguard which
would require that every recommen-
dation by the council should be unani-
nous.
1t also was said that the President
informed the senator's and represen-
tatives that the disarmament provi-
sion would not interfere with the
military training OF men. but that il
was evident that a trained body of
men would not be a danger to world
peace il their armament supplies were
kept in check.
Mr.. Wilson said the provision for
enforcing the determination OF the
council in case it was disobeyed by
any nation would apply in only one
case. and that where the party
against whom decision was render
ed had property. including territory.
in it's possession which it would not
surrender.

AS viewed from Paris, the question
at issue seems to be whether the pea

United States will hold fast to the
policy inaugurated by American in.

an organization for peace in the world
on solid basis or whether they will
prefer to revert to the policy of trans.
Atlantic provincialism and call it
splendid isolation.
The best judges OF the situation are
the most optimistic. They believe
that the strongest force in the Unit.

the great mass OF American citizens.
They think that President Wilson

There was considerable tension

the President was insistent that all

and in private conversations, Demo.
