carefree and contented did the people

Even the news vendors were listless and

II seems TO be the foregone conclusion
that Germany will sign the treaty with
minor notifications, but with mental
reservations as to the carrying out OF
the financial stipulation. A banker OF

Tafts praise of the league.
i With these visions of the leagues
Z future popularity floating In Presl-
\ dent Wilson'S mind the latest feature
Of the situation seems to be the out
hurst which the treaty has provoked
from the proletariat Of Great Britain
and France as reflected in the press
and in which the league comes in
for as much denunciation as the
( treaty. The treaty with the league
attached has provoked those who &C
claimed President Wilson the most
loudly when he landed and has
brought praise from those who
hitherto have been his critics, one
reason being that those original ac-
chalmers were more or less pacifiste
to whom the treaty now appears
monstrous. Consequently the Presi-
dent seems. to be facing huge task
in making the league come up to, his
visions because it has lost the con-
fidence OF the working classes and
becsuse the conservative classes and
the European Governments admittedly
are unsympathetic toward the Presl-
dents view.
Prepares for Opposition.
The President is preparing for con-
siderable opposition against both the
German and Austrian treaties In the
Senate and elsewhere in America on
: the ground that they involve direct
American participation in European
affairs for years to come through
memberships in the various commits
sions on matters over which she is
not directly concerned. Examination
Of the treaties will show any number
Of interallied commissions whose
work will cover a period. of many
years. The five Powers naturally
will name the members of these com
missions, thus. committing America to
participa ton in boundary and finan-
clal disputes covering virtually oil of
Europe.
The President. 1t Is authoritatively
stated, will justify this departure
from Americas custom on the basis
of the League of Nations. In other
words, America, being member OF
the league and party to the leagues
guarantees. should participate ac-
lively In all such matters to see that
pledges are being kept. AS put by
close friends of the President, there's
no use in going half way"
Furthermore the statement is made
70 inquiries regarding the special
Observation-Disclosures agreement,
that all the chiefs of the conference
here desired America to participate
in this matter. This is in line with
the policy followed throughout by
Great Britain and France 10 get
America into Europe rather than
keep her out.
The case of cold feet among the
Presidents friends here regarding the
French agreement is more noticeable
now than ever. 1t leads to the infer.
ence that the Presidents Democratic
friends have been cabling protests
The latest expression from the Presi
j. dents intimates is that the President

smaking such treaty before submit

ate would be obtained. presumably
by resolution, after the President had
submitted his letter to Premier

he merely promised to submit the
matter to the Senate for approval.
