is that now We are at the beginning

would be at the beginning of the two

cords with reports recently circulated

it has been understood for several
weeks that Mr.. McAdoo had urged
upon President Wilson the ease with
which the transfer of executive du-

born in RusseIvlle. Ky. He studied

To AsL for Committee.

The premier said he would request
that a committee on legislation be
created for preliminary study OF the
question. Senator Leon Bourgeois
would be named as Frances repre-
sentative on the committee, NJ Glenn
cnceau said.
The first week. perhaps the first
month. OF the Peace Conference will
BE- occupied by discussion of the league
Of nations plan. and all delegates will
seek TO have a hand in shaping it. The
vital importance of this issue is that
the plan when adopted will be virtual
ly the constitution of Limited states
of the World" and will be the funda-
mental international law for all ma
tIons.
All contentious of the various par
ties to the conference will appear in
the discussion Of the league plan. For
example, II the question of the free
dom OF the seas is to be left absolutely
to the league OF nations, Britain and
America, the two countries supposed
TO be holding conflicting views. will
each try to incorporate in the league
of nations program definition of the
freedom of the seas which will be
binding.
To Dominate All Issues.
Also the French and Italians. whose
territorial claims may possibly clash
with the idea Of the safety of dernoc-
raCy. will naturally endeavor TO have
the league rules so framed as to give
them the right to make laws relative
TO expansion.
In other words, If the league of na-
tIons plan is to dominate all other
issues at the Peace Conference-and
this is the generally expected-then II

tion of international forces whiCn

force the decisions of the league Of

people a feeling OF security that
will produce a disinclination to ap-

In other words. when the tax
payers have adequate faith in inter-
national agreements. backed by the
league of nations. they will insist
upon reduction Of the armament

for the same purpose is the ma
