Americans Take
Positive Attitude

PARIS. Thursday, Jan. D.-ln the
discussions concerning the disposal Of
the former German colonies. President
Wilson contehded in no uncertain
terms that TO divide the colonies
among the entente nations would be
in direct conuavcntion OF the four
teen points" which were accepted as
basis OF peace. Such a division. he
is said to have added, also would
violate the principles Of the league Of
nations as laid down at the peace con-
ference last Saturday.
The American attitude, il /, de-
elared, is very positive
President Wilson, il is understood,
still holds to his original opinion that
i, would be scarcely worth while for
the United States to participate in the
negotiations unless a league OF ma
tions with the accompanying prinei-
pies were provided for in making
peace.
At yesterdays session Of the SUI
preme council, President Wilson pre-
sented the American viewpoint unre-
servcdly. The general public prob
ably will not see full report Of yes
terday's session until after the treaty
OF peace is signe'. IL at all.

PARIS, Jan. 3l-The crisis
in the peace negotiations over
the disposition to be made OF
Germany's colonies seems to
have passed, momentarily at
least. 1t is too early to say
that President Wilson's view
has prevailed in its entirety.
but in American quarters
there is confidence that a COM
promise plan, which has been
accepted in principle, will be
worked out with details which
will be acceptable to the
American viewpoint.
When the supreme council Of the
peace conference meets today j, will
have before il the very plain state
men, made by President Wilson At
Wednesdays late session. SO par
ticular was Mr. Wilson TO have an
eSao, record made Of what he said.
that 5000 aver entering the mlaelGn
he summoned one OF Ms pesslnsI
stenographer, and kept him At his
side during the session.
What he said did not appear in
the Official eommunique, nor has
II been disclosed with any official
authority but II may be stated
that II was q very clear reaffir-
nation Of the principles for which
the president has previously con-
tended. In phrases stripped Of
diplomatic niceties. II 10 said, Mr..
. Wilson told members Of the su-
preme council he would not be
party to q division Of Germany's
colonial possessions among the
powers which now hold them and
then become party to . league Of
nations which In effect would
guarantee their title. There are
inference that the president even
referred to 4 peace Of "loot."
The ne, result OF the past two days
OF discussion on the colonial question.
