PARIS. April 30.-Proceeding on the
assumption that the Senate will ratify
the peace treaty and thereby qualify
as an original member Of the League
Of Nations. President Wilson will leave
Col. House here to work out the de-
tails Of the organization Of the league
with Sir Eric Drummond, the Secre-
tary-General.
By incorporating the league in the
treaty and making all the treaty
signatories ipso facto league sigma
tories, the President has prevented the
Senate from separating the two and
has made certain. to his mind. that
America will become, through the
Senate's action. an original member
OF the league. This has been the OBJ
ject of his man9uvring here since his
return.
The view that unanimity was attained
Monday as a result OF bargaining is gen.
orally held by French writers. who find
It impossible to believe that the Japanese
and French objections would have been
withdrawn otherwise. After expressing
disappointment over the league, the
GauIois. commenting on the withdrawal
Of French objections. says: This would
be inexplicable il 1t was not supposed
that such remuneration had as compen-
sation precise guarantees in the treaty
OF an alliance among the great Powers
At least We are reduced to this hypothe-
sis.
1T applies equally to Japan. which re-
nounced her racial equality clause doubt
less because she obtained full satisfac-
ton in Kiao-Chau. 1t seems manifest
that We assisted in q game which has
been played in inner circles. To save
the Society OF Nations at the cradle many
sacrifices were necessary. Marshal Foch
was absent"
Describing Mondays proceedings, Per-
tinax in the Boho do Poris says: ''Onc
can affirm the league dead before being
born Look at the vacant places of the
Italians. Yesterday We saw the result
OF a conspiracy to create a popular illu-
sion to give juridicial expression to all
sorts OF stipulations OF egotistio interest
and desire This Is equally true OF our
American friends as of our English. The
Japanese and French amendments de-
signed TO give the league some sinosrity
and force were massacred hike innocent
saint OF the evangelical era Why these
concessions?
ITO reassure US Clemenceau and
Pichon allege they have a draft of an
alliance in their portfolios, which should
Justify our docility.'
Speaking not only OF the league but
OF the whole treaty the Mdtin says:
There Is scarcely nation outside of
Great Britain and America that is sat
isfied. AS for Great Britain II Is still
necessary to wait for the effect. Of the
announcement of the cost OF the war
Between President Wilson's conciliation
and the claims Of tho European nations
for proper security a position has been
taken which will satisfy nobody. We
never thought 1t was necessary to mako
% many sacrifices and run 30 many
dangers to make sure that in case Of
German aggression the British and
Americans. our faithful allies In the
war. would range themselves again on
our side"
