Var Council Plans
Pressure to Compel
German Complianct

LONDON, Feb. S.-When the Supreme
lnter-Allied War Council met in Paris
today, one of the questions which it
discussed was the gravity of the re-
lations between Germany and Upland,
according TO dispatches from Paris.
The military danger with which
germany menaces Poland, it is felt,
may threaten France later on. So far.
j. is declared, the Germans have turn
cd deaf ear to the injunctions Of
Marshal Foch in regard to the evacu-
atiSn OF territory claimed by the
Poles. The Germans are holding an
army in readiness to march into Pol
land and are concentrating troops in
the East.
The War Council is resolved. ac-
cording TO an Exchange Telegraph
Company dispatch, to compel Germany
10 carry out the clauses of the armis-
tice and In the renewal of the armis-
tiee on February II, will probably i'm
pose such conditions that from the
point OF view Of decentralization and
disarmament all the danger threaten
lng Poland will be removed.
Reuter- dispatch from Paris says
IT, is declared in vel informed French
quarters that in view of the German
attitude toward the Poles, the Associ-
ated oPwers may think it advisable
to consider the question OF the occu-
patton Of the port of Danzig and the
railroad from Danzig to Thorn with
Allied and Polish forces.

AlbaniarlS Here Ask
TO Be Heard Before
Boundaries Are Laid

WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-Albanians
in the United States, alarmed at the
seeming progress made by the Greeks
and Italians in their settlement of con-
fiicting interests in Northern Epirus be-
fore the peace conference, are urging
a hearing of Albanian representatives
at Paris before this matter is disposed
of. Nine. Christie Dako. president Of
the Albanian National party in the
United States, has sent the following
cablegram to the chairman of the SUI
preme council in Paris:
"On the basis of the principle of self
determination we most humbly beg the
supreme council to withhold it's de-
cision regarding the status of Albania
and the question of boundaries until a
proper hearing is given to Albanian
representatives. We beg to inform the
supreme council that Albanians living
abroad who represent the true wishes
Of the nation have go far found it i'm
possible to send representatives. for
lack of passports. We most earnestly
appeal to the council to open the way
for US to lay before the peace table our
just claims"

Maxine Says Japan
Twill Be Fair to
China i'm Settlement
Peace Envoy Declares Toxic
Will Return Tsing-tao, as
was Agreed, and Blames
Germans for Propaganda

PARIS, Feb. s By The Associated
Press).- Baron Maxine, senior Japa-
nesc delegate to the peace conference,
made public to-day statement as to
Japan's position at the conference.
After outlining the main facts in the
history of the last twenty years since
the Chino-Japanese War, describing
Germanys efforts to establish herself
in the Far East, and giving in some de-
tail the claims of Japan to Pacific ISL
and groups located north of the cqua-
tor, the statement says:
Germany sought to stir up il-will
in the Far East after the penetration
of Manchuria by the Japanese railway
under the right granted by the Ports
mouth treaty.
Mistakes Are Admitted
"She also made the most of the more
or less serious mistakes made by both
Japan and China in the course of their
diplomatic and commercial relations"
After outlining the successive\ sur
renders by Japan in the interests of
peace afr the Chinese War and the
waving of all money indemnity follow
ing the war with Russia, the statement
comes up to the taking of Using tao
from Germany after Germany had re-
fused to accept the ultimatum Of
August, 1914, under which Japan de-
manded that Germany vacate Tsing- tao
Japan is now pledged to return to
China this harbor and port. built with
German money, together with the ter
ritory of Kiao-chau, which China will
receive eighty years sooner than she
could possibly otherwise have secured
it," the statement continues.
Powers Have Treaties
"Otherwisc the treaty of 1915, under
which this restoration is to be made,
contains no secret clauses, and an
agreement entered into in September,
1918, regarding future Chino-J apanese
cooperation in Shantung contains no
stipulation which is more or less than
just and mutually helpful settlement
of outstanding questions
"These documents, with all their
clauses, have been laid before the
powers, including America. Japan does
not seek more than fair division
in this work of development. We
realize that a great change has taken
place in the dealings among the ma
tions to be represented in The league
Of nations. If that league is to be of
any value, its rules must prohibit self
ish aggression, exploitation and dis
elimination. We seek no territory in
China, and ask only for friendly CO.
operation and the maintenance of
peaceful relations

TO be quite frank we will not allow
Mr.. Wilson or anybody else to inter-
fere in measures which any countries.

Mem YORK 1f10U&a
Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.-Thc fight
of the cotton growers and copper
miners to have the German market
thrown open to their exports so as to
increase present prices of those COM
moditics has assumed proportions
which seriously embarrass the State
Department and the American peace
mission at Paris.
This fight, while far less has been
said about it publicly than about the
action of Great Britain in cutting
off certain importations, particularly
shoes, is actually giving much more
concern to the Administration. 1t was
said by high official to-day that
Great Britain has shown willing
spirit to modify her orders when
clearly shown that great harm was be-
confidence was expressed that she
would be willing to modify her pres
cnt restrictions if good cause should
be shown.
At the same time the attitude is
taken at the State Department that if
there is no discrimination in the orders
which Great Britain has made, If they
apply to all nations alike, then it is
clearly an internal problem of Great
Britain, with regard to which the
United States can do nothing except
urge concession purely as favor.
No Discrimination Seen
Despite the fact that some communi-
cations from business interests charge
discrimination by the British orders,
State Department officials believe no
such discrimination exists. They con-
tend that such discrimination would
violate treaties with Great Britain
which provide the United tSates shall
be dealt with on the same basis as the
most Favored nation"
AS a result of the charges of dis
elimination, however, the department
to-day sent inquiries to its agents in
Great Britain, asking them to ascertain
the exact facts.
1t is suggested incidentally that the
United States is exercising the same
powers in absolutely forbidding i'm
portation of alcoholic liquors. This &C
ton is severe blow to the wine in
terests of italy and France, the whiskey
and ale interests of Great Britain and
the rum interests of important British
colonies, notably Jamaica.
The fight to have the German market
opened to copper and cotton, however,
is not to be dealt with so easily. The
copper men have proposed that the
United States lend Germany enough
money to buy a years supply of cop
per, normally about 45OOOO,OOO pounds,
while representatives of the cotton
growers insist that the German market
be opened to them so the price of cot
ton, which has fallen below 20 cents for
the first time in several years, shall be
maintained.
South Solid for Cotton
The fight to open Germany to cotton
has the backing Of virtually every

Outlined in Suggestions
of Americans

PARIS, Feb. 8.-The American dele
gates on the commission on interna-
tional labor legislation of the peace con-
ference have submitted the following
proposals to the commissions:
eve declare that the following fun
damental principles should underlie
and be incorporated in the peace
treaty:
"a league of the free peoples of the
world in common covenant for gen.
uine and practical cooperation to Sc
cure justice, and therefore peace, in the
relations between nations.
1.-THE entrance of any free nation into
the league Of free peoples Of the world
shall be inherent.
"No reprisals based upon purely vim
dictive purposes or deliberate desire to
injure, but to right manifest wrong.
Recognition of the rights of small
nations and of the principle, no people
must be forced under a sovereignty
under which it does not wish to live.
mo territorial changes or adjust
ments of power except in the further
ance of the welfare of the peoples af-
fected and in the furtherance of world
peace.
Labor Not Commodity
"That in law and in practice the prin-
ciple shall be recognized that the labor
of human being is not commodity
or an article of commerce.
Involuntary servitude shall not exist
except in a punishment for crime of
which the party shall have been duly
convicted.
Trials by jury should be established.
"The right of free association, free
assemblage, free speech and the press
shall not be denied or abridged.
"That the seamen of the merchant
marine shall be guaranteed the right
of leaving their vessels when the same
are in safe harbor.
"No article or commodity shall be
shipped or delivered in international
commerce in the production of which
children under the age of sixteen years
have been employed or permitted to
work.
Convict Labor Opposed
"No article or commodity shall be
shipped or delivered in International
commerce in the production of which
convict labor has been employed or per-
mitted.
"It shall be declared that the work
day in industry and commerce shall not
exceed eight hours per day except in
case of extraordinary emergency such
as danger to life or property.
"The sale or use for commercial pur-
poses Of articles made or manufactured
in private homes shall be prohibited.

State Department officials have
urged cotton Senators and members tie
go slew. They assert if there should
be. renewal of hostilities the opening
Of the. cotton markets in Germany
would be deferred and the situation
would be just as serious as at present.
They say the present attitude of Ger
many is far from satisfactory, and
the admission to Germany at this time
of plentiful supplies of cotton and
copper would make the Germans still
less amenab BILE.
So far, however, this plea has had
little effect on the Southern Dem ocrats,
who figure that the price of cotton
means more in their lives than what
they regard as diplomatic red tape.
