yesterday announced at Paris that he

a stage at which an absolutely rigid
system for the preservation of the in
peace can bet set up, ac-
cordins to a Reuter- dispatch from the
French capital. In discussing his idea,
Of the form the league should take,
ord Robert says he thinks an inter-
national tribunal with absolute bind
ing powers is not practicable at pres
ent.
"The interdependence Of modern
states has become 50 great that no
nation can control it's own affairs en-
tire without regard to the effects OF
its actions on other nations" he said.
st is important to proceed with the
utmost respect for national soyerignty.
''ln general the power on which the
league must mainly rely will be public
opinion" he continued. "and 1t is for
this reason that THE power imposing
delay on disputanta is so important
Lord Robert said he favored the
establishment Of permanent interna-
tional council Of the league which
