viani mission IA 70 the proper way for
this government TO approach the sub

uons or notifications Of the present

The United States might either ad-
dress its views upon the proper sort Of
League of Nations either to the four big
powers or TO all the nations Of the
world equally. The method of Paris
was to settle everything in q conference
OF the big five and then tell the smaller
nations they could accept the decisions
OF the five or go home.
The attitude of the viviani mission
is that II would be much better this time

the big five. but TO all the nations, ex.
cept Germany, Russia and one or two
other outlaws. equally. Probably this
would avoid the chance Of trouble with
in the assembly Of the league, where
some OF the smaller nations might re-
sent the settlement Of the future inter
national association behind the scenes
by the big powers.
Prefer Amending Present League
On the practical side the French
view is that the alteration Of the pres-
rnt league will present fewer difficulties
thhn rs abandonment and the erection
Of new league. So far as France is
concerned this country may have new
association IL Il wants TO, but the
French hope Il will take the more prac-
ticable course Of amending the present
league.
On German reparations the French
are frankly skeptical. They think Ger
many could pay but That she will not
pay and that there is no way to COM
pei her to pay. They think that French
public opinion will be against any ex-
tensive military operation in Germany
for the purpose of collecting the war
debt.
And the present seizure of the GUS
toms Of the Rhineland will yield little.
The total money value OF these cue-
toms amounts TO 100, 200. 900 gold
marks year. II taxes were levied By
the Allies upon the forests and mineral
lands OF the Germans 400 ,000, 900 gold
marks additional might be obtained.
That sum annually will never pay the
reparations bill of SOC, 900 900 900.
