CONSERVATIVES NOR

By NAROTH HEDIN

Paris, Feb. 17.--Neither the Social
lists not the extreme Conservatives,
approve the proposed statutes OF the
league of nations. while the emporium
lists get comfort from the implied
American pledge 10 protect France
against future attack.
President wilson's severest critic.
the Echo-de-Paris walls because the
new league is neither super state
nor frank alliance OF the old style
President Wilson and his COLA
borators,' says the paper, were I'M
able to decide in favor OF one or the
other Pcrusal OF the proposed
statutes reveals n struggle between
the two ideas. The struggle is not
yet finished. II some kind OF cohesion
OF the whole la desired, II will be nee
essary to make choice.
The burden of conversative critic
ism. is that the proposed agreemen.
is an insufficient military guarantee
against aggression.
'Twenty-six articles do not bring
security: until they are changed, we
cannot sacrifice to them our own
means of defense" concludes the
Echo-de-P Paris, which even goes SO
far as to defend Krupps saying:
IF the Prussian state had owned
tho Krupp company would the war In
1914 not have started"
While the Conservatit consider
the articles of the leagues covenant
too severe on the makers of arms, the
Socialists think they are roo light on
that very point.
Production OF arrnaments and pri-
vate munitions factories which were
enriched by the war Is only distant
generality" says the editor OF
L'huinanite. their party organ, now in
the hands OF tho extremists.

La Battaille:
The league OF governments which
is offered to our admiration In no
way satisfies men with hearts and
good sense, who form the majority OF
the masses. II is moral force that
ia expected to constitute the princi-
pal support OF the future society.
What bitter ironyn'
The Paris Midi says: ''For the
f1rst time the United States consents
to conclude with us n permanent al
lance for the defense of our terri
tnrtal integrity and political indepen-
dence.
This engagement is undeniab1e and
before leaving President Wilson let
it be understood to British and
French statesmen that his idea was
that the United States should, in the
case of future conflict throw all its
forces on our side on the first day"
This is hailed as "a considerable
progress, since August. 1884,
The same idea is repeated elsewhere
and the '"riEer'' Is reported to have
smiled when President Wilson left.
"If England. France, America ana
Italy had agreed in saying that who
ever attacked ono attacked all, the
war would not have started, said
