ON WAR
BLAME OPPOSED
Americans Fail to Agree With Ma
iOrity Views of Fixing Re-
sponsibility OF Persons.

! Paris. Thursday, April "a (By
the Associated Press III has be-
come known that the American
delegates have been unable to
agree to certain portions of the
report adopted by the majority of
the commission on responsibility
for the war, and, as presented to
| the council of four, the report
contains a memorandum setting
forth the American reservations.
The Americans objected to the
principle that persons accused of
manity" should be subjected to
criminal prosecution, contending
that the laws and principles of
humanity constitute standard
! too uncertain to be rightly applied
in legal proceedings.
The principle that heads of
states should be liable to criminal
prosecution for breaches of posi-
tive law was another point in
which they failed to agree with
the majority. The American belief
in this respect was that the es-
sence of sovereignty lies in the
fact that the head of a state is
responsible for his Illegal acts to
the people from whom he derives
his authority and not to any for
eign sovereignty.
This contention was net held to
apply in the case of a head of a
state who is abdicated for any
reason. Action against such
person would be against an indi-
vidual no longer embodying the
sovereignty of a state, nor does it
apply to political offenses commit
ted by the head of a state which
may if deemed expedient, be made
the subject of judicial action and
punishment.
Favor Inquiry Body.
Holding these views. the Ameri-
can delegates were therefore un-
able to concur in the recommen-
dation for the establishment of a
high tribunal and prosecuting
commission for the trial of Grim
inal cases, as advocated by the
committee. They proposed instead
that an international committee of
inquiry be created to consider the
relative culpability of the authors
of the war as we'll as their cuIpa-
bility as to violations of the laws
and customs of war and that en-
envy persons accused of these lat
ter offenses should be tried by
military tribunals or commissions
already existing or to be created
in different countries. Each of
