The French attitude towards Rus

bankers and big business men. who
are only interested in their tremend-

the course OF a conversation with a
high and authoritative French source.
I have obtained a statement OF the
French position that Is at variance
with these views This man said:

has never been animated by reaction

are, OF course, in France. as in Eng

work, but they do not represent the
spirit Of the nation, nor do they in

IN no papers that have passed
through my hands has there been the
smallest reacronary suggestion The
documents from government Depart

from any word that could be construed
as favoring the cause OF the old
regime or Of any atavistic politicians
who would desire 10 restore the con

guarded car, kidnapping the motor
man and conductor. Reports have
been received that workers in Central

PARIS. Jan. i3.--The league
of nations can now be consid-
cred rs an established fact.

Premier Clemcnceau. Premier
Lloyd George and Premier Orlando
are pledged TO support President
Wilson's basic ideas In this regard.
Public opinion in France. Great
Britain and Italy is solidly behind
the scheme.
Peace delegates are agreed that
the league is an absolute necessity
II future wars ARE 10 he prevented.
and that 1t must be given prefer
encc above all cthsr business at the
conferences.
There IL ftiil some disagreement
regarding the details but these were
expected TO be srnoothed OUT quickly
In the conferences OF the associated
powers. which were resumed today.
French Not Satisfied
Wilson's plan. as a whole, is un-
satisfactory TO the French, because
they believe II does not provide Euf.
flcient economic penalties for Ger
many. They say his proposed pro-
bationary inclusion OF Germany
would permit that country TO start
up it's undamaged industries in com.
petition with the French and Bel
gians. whose industrial plants were
wrecked by the Germans them
selves.
Senator Bourgeois. who will head
the French section OF the inter-allied
commission to draw up plans for the
leaguc-if the conference appoints
such body-made plain In a re
cent exclusive interview with the
United Press that he agrees with
Ciemcnceau on this point He IA
vors excluding the central powers
untll they fulfin the provisions they
must sign at the peace table.
Victory League?
Clemenccau IL said TO favor
league composed OF the victorious
nations. Opposition to this plan
centcrs on the belief that such
league would force an alliance OF the
vanauished powers and that II
would result in another war.
French delegates are known TO be
opposed to any plan that would not
completely guarantee Frances from
tiers. together with her northern
and eastern industrial centers'
against sudden attack or invasion.
Bourgeois favors letting in neutral
nations Immediately after peace is
signed. their formal application for
admission being passed upon by the
charter members"
He would permit Germany to be-
come a member. once she carries
out the obligations imposed by the
congress.
These are some of the details that
will confront the associated repre-
sentatives when they first begin for
NAL discussion of the league OF ma
tons. None of them is regarded as
proving very difficult obstacle to
complete agreement.
