INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS

The League of Nations, though
functlonlng without the cooperation
OF the United States, accomplished
much during the year, chiefly through
it's council. which met In Paris on
February Fl and Immediately referred
proposed amendments to the covenant
to committee. President Wilson,
who during January had withdrawn
the American representatives from the
council of ambassadors and the repa-
rations commission, on February %
sent to the league council a strong
protest against the inclusion of the
island Of zap In territories subjected
to the mandate Of Japan. and also
formally demanded for America q
voice In the disposal Of the former
German colonies. The council In re-
ply said 1t was not concerned with
the ALLEGATION Of zap to japan and
invited the United States TO take part
In discussions concerning the Turkish
and African mandates. A month after
the Republican administration took
Office Secretary of State Hughes relt-
Grated Mr.. Wilson's stand concerning
zap and mandates In general, and
ica's position In the controversy over
the island. though Japan formally re-
fused TO give up her mandate. There
after that dispute was the subject Of
long drawn-out negotiations between
the United States and japan which
led to a treaty by which the United
States was assured equal rights In
zap and other islands inundated to
Japan.
The council OF ambassadors In Janu-
airy gave Germany more time to dis
arm, appointed q commission TO pass

that Latvia and Esthonia should be
recognized as sovereign states. and
then fixed the German reparations at
228 600. 100000 gold marks payable In
annual installments, and IL per cent
tax on exports during the period OF
payment. This PREPARATIONS decision
created CONSERVATION In Germany and
Berlin at once began efforts to per-
suade the United States to intervene
In her behalf. The Wilson admlnistra-
ton made no response, but on April

few days earlier, Berlin having failed
TO make the first payments, French
troops occupied Dusseldorf, Duls-

over the reparations bill. Suffice it TO
