Paris, Jan. 2J.-When the second scs-

tions. The president declared the CON
ference had solemn obligations to make
a permanent settlement.

and not casual or occasional. II must

BRAZIL TERMS PROGRAM
CUT AND DRIED AFFAIR
Wilson and House Are
Picked for Commission
to Conduct Business of
Proposed Super-Nation.

Paris, Jan. 25. - President
Wilson's league of nations prof
ect was unanimously adopted by
the conference, this afternoon.
The president led in the action
with a speech in favor of it, fol-
lowed by the leading premiers in
speeches advocating the general
plan.
When the commission that is
to be the executive body of the
league is formally named, Presi-
dent Wilson and Col. Il. NJ House
will be the representatives of the
United States on it. In its or
ganization, then, every indica-
tion is that President Wilson
will be made chairman or presi-
dent, whatever designation be
adopted, thus making him presi-
dent Of the super-nation created
by the establishment Of the
league.
Then the conference developed
its first rift. Taking up the
four resolutions framed by the
council of the great powers, pro-
viding for committees on labor,
responsibility for the war, repair
alton for damages and ports,
railways and waterways. Camille
Huysmans, in behalf Of Belgium,
asked for two members on the
committees on labor, reparation
and the league of nations, and
one each on the others. Serbia
made a similar request.
Brazil was more emphatic. de-
claring against "a cut and dried
program" and saying that the
conference should be master of
its own decisions.
OTHERS DEMAND PLACES
M. VenizeIos said that Greece
was entitled to membership on
the committees on reparation
and ports. NJ. Bratiano, for Ru-
mania, and DIR. Renes for Czecho-
Slovakia, as well as the delega-
tions representing Portugal,
China, Siam and Poland, also
asked for places on the commit
tees.
In looked for a time as thouqh
the small nations had formed a bloc
and would contest the decisions of
the great powers to restrict the
committees.

tempered speech, said that the coun-
Gil had not imposed its decisions, but

AND SECRET CONFERENCE

Paris, Jan. 25, (Havas)-M.
Tchltcherin, the bolsheVik for
eign minister, has sent wire
less message to the soviet rep
resentatiye in Sweden, asking
confirmation of the decision of
the supreme council of the peace
conference to send a mission to
confer with representatives of
the different factions in Russia
on Princes islands. W. Tchitch-
erin's message declares that
Princes islands are too remote
for such a meeting.
He objects to the isolation of
the islands as tending to sur
round the conference with Sc
crecy and to leaving to the en-
tente the choice of participants.
This proposition of the SUI
preme council, the message
says, is made at a time when
the bolsheviki are victorious
over their opponents and the in
ternal situation of Russia has
been settled, but the soviet gov
ernment upon receipt Of the con-
firnation requested will care
fully consider the proposals.
MAKE 1T MATTER OF HONOR.
The council of the national and demo-
cratic bloc Of Russian political organi-
cations abroad has sent Il strongly
worried protest to Premier Clemenceau
against the decision Of the supreme
council to call a conference Of the
Russian factions.

courage il we accepted. for a single

test adds requires the establishment in
Russia of regime based on the 50
yereignty of the people already freely
