PLANS FOR LEAGUE
Of NATIONS ARE
NEARLY COMPLETE
viii Be Finished by End of
This Week, Opinion in
Paris.

PARIS, Feb. 6.-Generai agreement
has been reached on the principles
underlying the whole draft OF the
League OF Nations constitution, IL
was officially announced to-day.
At tho latest meeting the commits
sion practically agreed on the third
article. While this decision is pro-
vslonal, II was stated that many APP
parent difficulties have been solved.
Prospects for the completion OF the
initial draft OF the charter this week
are much brighter to-day.
As the special committee having
the work in charge considers the vari-
Gus problems contained in the twenty
two articles OF the tcntative pro-
grammc. the conforecs arc said to be
rapidly approaching an agreement,
the speed with which the details arc
handled increasing as the sessions
continue.
The two questions presenting the
greatest difflculty of solution appar-
emily arc:
Means by which the League will
enforce its decisions.
Apportionmsnt OF representa-
ton on the administrative eoun-
ell OF the League.
Tho majority OF the conferees are
believed TO have agreed that the most
effective weapon of the league will
be an economic boycott, made posi-
bio through a blockade enforced by
an international fleet to which Great
Britain and tho United States would
bo the chief contributors. But some
members OF the committee arc said
to hold out for the substitution OF
moral for physical force. These men,
bers say the main object OF tho
league really is tho promotion OF an
understanding between nations tha;
will render wars unlikely, rather than
forciblo prevention OF wars after
they have been caused by polltica
or economic jcalousies.
Those who favor an international
police force agree to this premise
yet hold that the league must possess
some weapon in case any misundor.
