The proposed legislation of the

council Of nine nations. -Four or these
arc elected from time ~ time by the
member nations, but Ave OF the nine
members OF the executive council are
permanent members, so that the control
Of the executive council Will always be
in the hands OF the United states. Great
Britain, France, Italy and Japan. This
element Of permanency and strength in
the executive council Is highly i'm
portant feature. In sense the executive
council possesses legislative and judicial
powers as well as executive powers, but
It's Jurisdiction and It's powers are
limited in the constitution.

This pledge guarantees against

be considered az making war upon every
member OF the league, and then the ex-
ecutlve council Is authorized TO deter

member Of the league shall contribute
IN defence. Before this, however. each
nation IS also required 70 cut on all

to tel, OF some OF the difficulties encoun-
tered and to indicate the status Of some
of tho great Issues remaining TO be ad-

In fact. II was only within the last

rather suddenly in the light of the
development OF the plan for the League
OF Nations.
OF such was the vexcd question Of
freedom o, the seas which jeopardized
the support OF Great Britain II Was
realized that with a perfec: League OF
Nations there would be no neutrals and
that consequently no Questions could
arise as TO freedom OF the seas in time

unanmity so far as the special comi1ris-
sion was concerned, that those nations
which at first had doubted the efficiency
of tho project came out of the discus
sion in an attitude Of ito drmest advo-
Gates.
Looking to the future thc special COM
mission attaches much importance
the provision made for the adm!ss'on -
the league of neutral or late enemy
States. The latter are known to be
anxious 10 adhere, but the commission
has taken every precaution to make
sure that they enter with proper motives
and prepared to live UP to the obliga-
tons Of the league. The point was made
that such adhesion should be encour9 ged.
as Il was highly desirable. having AZ
heart the interest of the whole world
that the Industries OF late enemy states
and neutral countries which suffered
from the blockade be set In motion at
the earliest possible moment.
This decision was not based upon
sympathy for Germany. but upon the alb
soIute conviction that the safety of con-
tinentsl Europe and perhaps NJ the who'e
world depended upon turning the Ger
man nonulatlcn INTO w1y1 Of industry,
so tina. II might be able 10 produce goods
to pay off the enormous indemnltles to
be imposed upon Il.
II was the conviction that otherwise
Germany might drift soon into tho con-
dtion OF Russia and that there would
he no responsible Government with
which the peace treaty could be con-
Guided. In that case It would be nee
essary for the Peace Congress to con
tlnue Indefinitely In existence. awaiting
the social and economic reorganization
that might follow an era OF Bolshevism

II not a vehicle OF power, but a vehicle in

II Is definite in the one thing that We

& definite guarantee OF peace. II is A
dehnite guarantee by word against ag-
erosion. II IL a definite guarantee
against the things witch have Just come
near bringing the whole structure OF

Its purposes do not for a moment lie
