POLES DANZIG CONTROL
NECESSARY FOR PEACE
IF City Is Left in German Hands
Paderewski Government Pre-
dicted to Fail.

Any solution by the peace conference
of territorial troubles in eastern Europe
which fails to provide for the control of
Danzig by Poland will result In the
collapse of the raderewski govern
ment and will lead inevitably to
by John +. Smulski, president of the
national Polish department and rep
rcsentative OF the Polish national
committee
"Danzig is sentimentally dear to
every Polish heart" Mr.. Smulski said.
Again and again during the progress
of the war the assurance that this
ancient seaport would be returned
to Poland nave been SO complete, SO
general, even though perhaps they
lacked an official backing. that the
rcoccupation of the port has been con-
sidered as one of the settled happen
ingS of the hour.
a peace which leaves DanZig in
German hands means peace which
viii be only a truce of preparation for
new wars. 1t will mean that Polish
bankers. agriculturiSts and manu-
facturerS. anxious to do business with
the world, anxious to trade with the
United States and England, will be
obliged to function through German
sources.
There is also another side so seri-
Gus that we hardly dare contemplate
it at this time. namely, that anything
in the nature of a formal deCla aration
that Danzig is to be denied the Poles
will be followed by the collapse of
the present Padcrewski government"

SOCIALISTS OFFER
; CHANGE IN DRAFT
Would Facilitate Entry of
I Germany and Russia
Into League.

PARIS. April Lord Robert Cecil
the British authority on IA league of
nations. today met q committee from
the international socialist conference
recently held in Bern and received va
Iious amendments which the members
of the committee desired TO be in
cluded in the covenant of the league
of nations. The committee claimed to
>Speak for the socialists of twentysix
countries represented at the Bern con-
'gress.
Among the principal amendments
that the socialists proposed was the
introduction of a provision facilitating
the entry into the league as soon as
possible of Germany and Russia.
which they believed to be essential to
disarmament and the prevention Of
the spread of anarchy.
To this Lord Robert replied that it
was impossible TO admit states with

INTERSTATE RATE ISSUE UP.
Authority of R, R. Director Gen.
eral CHALLENGED in North Dakota.

BISMARCK, n. D., April 2.-The
state supreme court today granted
the application of Attorney General
William LANCER for a writ of manda-
mus rest raining the Northern Pacific
railway and other railroads from
charging in North Dakota the in.
creased schedule of passenger and
freight rates made effective in June,
1918. by order of the director general
Of the railroads.
The decision involved the right OF
the director general to fix intrastate
rates under the act of Congress oil
March p. 1918. The court held that
the act did not confer on the Presi-
tlent or the director general any au-
thority to interfere with pre-exist-
ing lawful police regulations of any
state
An appeal to the United States Su-
preme Court will be taken by the

Choosing of Delegates.

The committee also had proposals
respecting the method of choosing dele
gates 10 the league, expressing the be-
lief that nomination by the govern
ments would not be representative.
They said they preferred the elective
system. Lord Robert explained that
this question was for the various
states to decide themselves. Regard
ing war. the committee thought that
il should be totally abolished. except
where the league itself made war to
enforce its mandates. Lord Robert
agreed in principle, but thought that
the world had not yet attained the
development to make it practicable
and possible.
Other points presented were the be-
lief that mandates should he defined
IN detail before territory was handed
over to mandatory government. and
that no mandates should be given un-
til all nations had been admitted to
the league. In reply, Lord Robert said
he believed that all mandates would
be defined in special treaties before
the mandatory power undertook its
functions of government, but dwelt
upon the necessity for the appointment
of mandates in many cases as soon as
possible.
The committee expressed a desire
that the league undertake the diStrfbu-
ton of raw materials in order to pre-
vent economic inequality, and finally
voiced the hope that peace would be
concluded speedily.
