PLANS NOT CONSIDERED

1t has not escaped the attention Of the careful reader
OF dispatches from the Paris peace congress that several
impractical suggestions have been advanced in connec-
ton with the discussion Of plans definitely adjusting the
worlds peace.
The French desire for a standing international army
was not adopted by the commission which formula ted
the league of nations covenant, and was not even referred
to in the document. There had been some reports to the
effect that the international army suggestion would be
seriously considered, but it now develops that such reports
were premature and erroneous.
formulated by Japan of eliminating racial exclusion
clauses from the immigration laws Of the countries which
will, be members of the league. The Paris dispatches
inform us that this suggestion was dropped without a
vote" This does not mean, however, that it will not be
discussed at all, for it is probable that it will invite at
tention at a later stage of the general negotiations.
The most interesting Of the plans which have not
yet received thorough attention is Belgium's demand for
Luxembourg and some parts Of Holland. Belgian states
men explain that this is not attern pied imperialism or an
indication of a new expansion policy, but merely a
national necessity calculated to give Belgium the free
and unhindered use of the scheldt river and to make the
country safe against another invasion.
Whatever a detailed study of the Belgian demand
may reveal, it seems on the surface to be inconsistent
with the principles which are to govern international

RUSSIA STILL PUZZLES

The proposed Princes Island Conference between
representatives Of the Paris peace congress and delegates
of the various factions now claiming power in Russia
emphasizes anew the puzzing question:: What is the
Russian government? And, judging from this distance,
there is no Russian government. The country has been
broken up in a number Of districts, each ruled by a group
or by individuals asserting that they alone possess the
future.
Speaking largely, it still appears as though the Boil
shevik element dominates throughout the country. The
Bolshevists have overrunfa large part Of the Baltic prov
lnces and Lithuania; the provisional Siberian government,
assuming the farfetched name of Pan-Russian. is in the
hands of the revolutionists; the Ekaterinodar government
i'll southwestern Russia is Bolshevik, and so it goes.
There are exceptions to this rule, for instance in Ukraine
where the extremely socialistic Petlima has succeeded in
establishing an anti-Bolshevik government, and in Est
honia where the Bolshevik elements have formed a CO.
alition with the opposition ruling the province on the
strength of a compromise.
All reports coming from the distorted country tndi-
cate that a state Of extreme confusion reigns and that law
and order are mere family remembered words which now
have no meaning. Government has become a carricature:
eoucanon seems to be even less encouraged than during
the days OF czarism; the financial conditions existing are
sa'o 10 be 1ndescrloaole, and the only main current in
this maelstrom of nervous movement seems to be that
egoistcal ambition to acquire and to retain power which
cnarac1erlzes some OF the individuals who now claim
they are shaping the destiny Of Russia. Subsequent
events will show that no government can be founded
merely on the basis Of personal ambition. Whether the
autocrat be a crowned car or a Bolshevist, the ultimate
result is the same, namely that great and terrible reaction
which, according to all fundamental laws Of history. will
set in when once the mad dance of witches is over. =
Little can be expected Of the Princes Island Confer
ence If things are as they have been desoxibed in the
United States. There will be no authority back OF the
Russian delegates-no one to make signatures and
pledges binding. To negotiate about the future Of a
country which is in the state Of civil war will he futile
unless negotiations may pave the way for the establish.
ment of a secure government which is able to back It.

THE PROPOSED PACT

The proposal for a league of nations has at last as
suned concrete, If not final, form, after having constitut-
ed the principal topic for discussion at the Paris peace
congress. The covenant is largely the result OF a combina-
ton Of suggestions coming from responsible American.
British. French and Italian delegates. but it does seem as
though the plan of introducing it into the peace negotia-
tons originally was President Wilson's.
The document which was published yesterday after
noon is a lengthy and somewhat technical manuscript
which sets forth in twenty-sx articles the functions and
the scope of the proposed league. The pact has not been
afford the peace congress a definite basis for further de-
hberations. And even when that body agrees to accept
the proposal, its ultimate fate is still undetermined, for it
is to be submitted to the legislative assemblies of each
contracting nation.
The one principal object Of the league of nations plan
is to make all future wars impossible. Disarmament is
rot considered for this purpose, but a reduction Of arma-
'nents is thought efficacious, and, in addition. the proposal
imposes stringent regulations which make it necessary
that a period of exhaustive discussion precede actual
clashes of arms. How this will work in practice, remains
to be seen-since 1914 there has been prevalent a certain
distrust Of mutual obligations and treaties, and even the
principle of international arbitration was not sufficiently
strong to assert itself effectively.
1t is likely, however, that when the pact is finally
signed, it will be in such a form as not to precipitate any
conflicts of armies and navies for some generations to
come. If this is accomplished, the league justfies its ex-
istence.
Although all the proposals contained in the draft are
be focused upon its strength as a war preventative. The
present generation is tired of war and its ravages and now
thinks primarily of how to eradicate the evil that has
swept over the earth ever since prehistoric man resorted to
brute force in settling difficulties and in smoothing out
differences.
