II is recalled that the Persians sent
a delegation to the Peace Conference,
which. like those OF the Coreons and
Egyptians was kept outside and never

the League Of Nations.
According to the French view. Persia
has been placed exactly In the position
of Egypt. The Journal des Debdts says
1t In the last act Of process which
has developed with a logic that has
not escaped the attention OF those who
have watched events outside of the con-
ference. II adds:
The fact that Persia has been ad-
mitted as an adherenr of the League
OF Nations cannot inspire many IL

whatever policy Great Britain desired fol-
