Join in Action.

PARIS. March 4.-Absoiute faith IN the
with an implied prediction that the
United States would shortly be found
acting with 1t. was expressed to-day by
DR.. Gastoa da Cunha, president OF the
council OF the league. in commenting at
the last public session OF the council
here upon the work the league had done.
Even those OF our friends, who on
the other side OF the Atlantic are still
hesitating to Join our deliberations. will
soon not only Join with ours their
thoughts, which we know to be inspired
by the same ideal, but will unite their
powerful and generous action with our
efforts" he said.
In referring to the question Of man
dates, as that question had come to the
attention Of the council at THE meeting,
DR.. da Cunha said:
"The communication made to the coun-
ell on this subject by the Government Of
the United States sufficiently cemon-
strates the importance the activities OF
the league are assuming not only for
its members. but for all countries In
voived In International life. and the re-
ply made by the council to the communi-
cation indicates we'll in what a liberal
spirit the league interprets its duties
toward all nations interested in the
problems submitted to 1t under the
covenant"
DR.. da Cunha dwelt upon the signif,-
canoe that should be attached to the
success OF the Geneva Assembly whose
delegates represented population Of
l.400.000.000. by the simple circum-
stance that the assembly was able sue
cessfully to accomplish a task all the
more arduous. since 1t could rely upon
no precedents or shape itself after any
model" continued DR.. da Cunha. 1T
proved that 1t was born to live"
The formation Of the International
Court OF Justice. in DR.. da Cunha's
opinion, gave a measure of efficiency to
the assembly. He referred to the work
OF Elfhu Root and his colleagues at
The Hague In laying the foundation for
the court and said the council hesi-
tated to approve the principle Of obli-
gatory Jurisdiction because the spirit
OF the covenant appeared to conflict
with this principle. according an op-
tional rather than an obligatory juris-
diction.
This difficulty. President da Cunha
pointed out, was we'll overcome by the
assembly in It's adoption of the provi-
sion by which countries favoring obiiga-
tory Jurisdiction could accept It in their
ratification OF the court project, thus
making the Jurisdiction obligatory be-
tween themselves and other countries
which had similarly ratified.

the allied ultimaturn are firm and unan-
iInous in demanding that the Government
oppose the ulrimatuln with "a deter
mined no." The TG0cb!dtt says II sees
no purpose IN waiting until Monday. as
the amount demanded IN the Paris pro-
posais Is wholly out OF the question. "A
smaller gum is very often more ad-
vantageous than huge one, especially
II the latter is on paper or somewhere
up IN the clouds" the Liberal organ
adds.
The Lokar-Anscioer says that IL Mr..
Lloyd George actually believes his own
utterances then the people OF the En-
tente natiors and the Germans are liv-
ing on different planets.
PorrGcrts says Mr.. Lloyd Georges

ment OF war guilt. as contained IN the
peace treaty. has no moral or historical
value. inasmuch as this confession was
enacted in Versailles OF the point OF

precludes fresh negotiations.

AS DR.. Simons Is accountable to the

London unless the Entente abruptly
terminates the conference.

posed reprisals. he added. would hardly
constitute a service to mankind. and he
hoped a reconsideration was possible

DR.. sfmons Prepares Reply.
BY the Associated Press.


LONDON March 4.-Dr. Simons, the
German Foreign Secretary. and the Ger
man experts are busy preparing a reply
to some OF the arguments used by Pre-
mier Lloyd George In delivering the
allied ultimatum yesterday. The Ger
mans strongly object to the verdict of
the Allies that they were entirely re-
sponsible for the war and the Pre-
mier's argument that II they taxed them
selves as France and England had done
they would be able to pay what Is de-
manded OF them. They claim internal
taxes, such ms those on sugar. tobacco
and spirits have not been taken into ac-
count and they are prepared to produce
figures showing the Allies have under
rated their impositions.
With regard to the question Of respon-
sibility for the war, the Germans main
tain the European Powers were equally
at fault and cite q recent speech by
Mr.. Lloyd George in which he is quoted
as saying that the world drifted into
the war.
1t is the general opinion OF Ger
mans in London that any new propo-
sitions less than the demands OF the
Paris accord will not satisfy the Allies.
They say It Ia impossible to satisfy
France. and they now fear Premier
Lloyd George. from whom they had ex-
pected more lenient treatment. consid-
ering that he committed himself SO far
to the French view in his speech yes
terday that 1t IS impossible for him to
reccde.
Besides. the Germans hold. the flrm
attitude displayed IN yesterdays speech
was met with such approval in Great
Britain that the Prime Minister must
realize he followed the popular view.
