Peace Delegates Completing the
League of Nations Plan and
Treaty Together.
OPPOSING SENATORS FIRM
Japan Modifies Her Race Equality
Amendment Bolshevik! Lose In
North and Win In Ukraine
Stirring Up More Troublo
In Other Lands.
By EDWARD W. PICKARD.
Seemingly convinced that, by some
means not yet revealed, the opposition
of n Inrge part of the American sennte
can bo overcome, the pence delegntes
In Paris went ahead last week with
the work of welding the treaty and the
lengue of nations plan. President
Wilson declared there was no Inten
tion of bundling the two matters sep
arately, and In this ho was supported
by others of the leaders. It wus admit
ted that the lengue plan would hnve
to be amended In various particulars,
and that the American delegates nnd
made up their minds to accept a cer
tain limited number of changes. Per
haps It was believed these alterations,
which probably will not be at all radi
cal, would satisfy the objecting sena
tors. Their attitude and language do
not tend to Justify that belief.
Some of the correspondents In Pnrls
fear that Insistence on Joining tho
covenant of the league with the peace
treaty will delay tho latter. Others,
equally well Informed, ussert that tho
dilllcultles will be speedily removed,
Intlmnting that the principles of tho
lengue. In so far ns they have been
generally accepted, 1I1 he Incorporat
ed In tho treaty and that differences
of opinion regarding, specific parts of
tho covenant w(ll bo recognized and
discussion of them left to n later date.
Thus, they think, President Wilson
nnd the supporters of his plan will bo
satisfied and the opposition In Ameri
ca and elsewhere placated.
The f-peclllc changes demanded by
tho opposing senntors have not been
mndo public except In a scattering
way, but a courier Is on his way to
Paris henrlng a lengthy statement for
the French nnd British press prepared
by Senator Polndcxter. The senntgrs
Intend to escape any possible cable
censorship by sending all their com
munications by courier. Meanwhile
they nre defending their stand before
the American public In speeches nnd
debates, the most Interesting of the
latter being between Senator Lodge
nnd President Lowell of Harvard uni
versity. Lodge snld bo favored a
league of nations, hut not the cove
nant as presented. He declared the
whole treaty should be redrafted, but
did not believe that would be done In
Paris. Senator Heed violently at
tacked tho league plan In a speech be
foro the Missouri legislature, where
upon fifty Democratic members of that
body formally demanded his resigna
tion. That Is n fair sample of the In
tolerance displayed by tliQ, strongest
partisans of both sides In tho dispute.
Several rather startling suggestions
hnve been made by the senators who
nre fighting the Wilson plan. Lenroot
of Wisconsin proposes thnt tho senate
ndopt n resolution declaring the war
with Germany terminated and then
proceed to formulate n pence treaty.
Calder of Now York wishes congress
ns soon ns It Is convened, to Instruct
tho American delegates how they
should proceetl.
Jnpnn's delegates having evinced a de
termination to try to Introduce Into
1 tho league covenant an article giving
I tho yellow races equal rights of Iniml-
gratlon with the Caucasians, President
Wilson personally undertook to stave
off this threatened complication, llo
,.!.! vi,.nn...., ,.. 1 it... ,1. .-
I iuui !(.-uiiiii .wiiirtiii me men was nn-
possinie, ami amisui agreed to tirop it
for tho present. However, the Jap
nneso delegation did propose nn
amendment providing that tho con
tracting parties to tho covenant shall
naroo to grant equal nnd Just treat-
incut to all aliens within their borders
who are nationals of states that are
members of the league. The Japanese
do not accept the view that treatment
of foreigners and discriminating Immi
gration laws are purely matters of do
mestic policy and undoubtedly will at
some time In the future reopen the
question.
On Thursday all the neutral nations
that desired to present views concern
ing the league of nntlons were heard
by the subeommlsslon of" the commis
sion on the league, of which Lord Hob
ert Cecil Is chairman. Most of the
neutrals. It Is understood, favored the
league plan with some modifications.
The full commission, with Mr. Wilson
In the chnlr, met Saturday to consider
all proposed amendments and put the
plan Into definite and final form.
The completed peace treaty, It Is
asserted In Paris, will be ready by
April 1 for pre.sentntlon to the Ger
man plenipotentiaries. At the time of
writing It was not clear whether this
pact would be a preliminary treaty or
the final Instrument, or n renewal of
the strongest provisional armistice. In
any ease, many Important matters
were yet to be settled. These Included
numerous boundary disputes, In the
discussion of which Mr. Wilson was.
taking a leading part. According to
report, he told Premier Clemenccau ho
would not support France's demnnds
concerning the disposition of the west
bnnl; of the Rhine, nnd the "Tiger"
thereupon tried to resign, but was dis
suaded by Premier Polncnre,' who
showed him France could not get nlong
without the support of America, no
inntter whnt modifications Mr. Wilson
might demand In the French program
for the treatment of Germany. Next,
President Wilson conferred with Prime
Minister Orlando of Italy, nnd, It was
believed, arranged for n compromise
by which Italy will get Flume nnd sur
render her clnlm to the Dalmatian
const which the Jugo-Sluvs demand.
This plnn Is opposed by Foreign Min
ister Sonnlno nnd his party nnd by
much of the population of Dalmatla.
The western boundary of Polnnd has
not been definitely determined, though
the decision had been reached that the
Poles should have a corridor to the
sea, 'Including Dnnzlg.
The Interallied commission on
Poland nnd tho Germans had u great
denl of trouble last week arranging
for n cessation of hostilities between
the Poles nnd the Germans, hut It wns
said the desired result would soon bo
reached. Tho supreme council also
took steps to stop the fighting between
the Poles nnd the'Ukralnlans In Gall
cla. The Germnn government wns report
ed to be facing n new political crisis,
with the prospect that Scheldomann
would bo forced to relinquish tho
chancellorship. The split between the
majority socialists and the independ
ent socialists was becoming wider.
When the Independents demanded the
repeal of martial law In Rerlln Wolf
gang Heine, Prussian minister of Jus
tice, bitterly assailed them for their
co-operation with the Spartacans.
The Spartacans, who were compara
tively quiet for a few days after their
virtual defeat in Berlin, wero begin
ning agitation for n new general
strike on March 20, declnrlng that this
tlmo their success was certain. Their
previous operations nlong the Rhine,
according to Merlin dispatches,- led tho
French troops of occupation to selzo
Mannheim, Karlsruhe and two other
cities. This was neither ntllmied nor
denied by the nllles.
Defeat In the north nnd west and
success In the south met the bolshevlkl
In Russia. They attacked tho allied
positions south of Archnngel, but wero
repulsed with considerable losses.
The Lettish troops also whipped them,
taking the Important town of Mltau,
southwest of Riga, and compelling
them to retreat along the wholo front
In thnt region; and tho Poles forced
them out of Plnsk. On the other hand,
the bolthovlkl, having forced tho
French garrison nf Nlkolnlev to retire
to Odessa after fierce lighting, wero In
possession of virtually tho whole of
tho Ukraine. Further east they
reached tho Isthmus of Perekop, which
connects the Crimea with tho main
land.. Their nlii) evidently Is to sub
due beforo spilng all opposition In tho
great grain region of the Ukraine, In
the hope of relieving the food shortago
In Moscow and the north.
According to reports from Lithuania
a new and strong antl-bnl.-dievlk move
ment Is under way In the parts of Rus
sia controlled by the soviet govern
ment. It is led by the "Independent
communistic" party, ami Its first ef
forts are directed toward breaking up
the bolshevik urmy, by desertion If
necessary.
Unpleasnnt stories arc coming from
Vladivostok to the effect that the anil
bolshevik Russians there are bitterly
attacking the inlddle-of-the-rond policy
that Is being followed by the American
expedition, and are accusing the
Yankees of being the friends of the
bolshevlkl. The antagonism Is fos
tered by several newspapers which are
said to have been subsidized by some
Japanese agencies. The Americans In
Siberia are scheduled for return In the
spring. Just why the Yankee troops
should light the bolshevlkl In north
Russia and not In Siberia Is not dis
cernible at this distance.
Directly connected with the strained
relations In Siberia Is the row In Tien
Tsln, where Japanese troops nnd police
mndo what Is declared to have bevn
nn unprovoked attack on American
oWclnls and soldiers. Washington
may demnnd an apology and repara
tion from Tokyo.
Meanwhile, true to their, program of
freeing the proletariat of the entire
world, the Lenlne-Trotzky crowd are
Increasingly active In binds fur nparL
In China they are said to be organiz
ing a great movement nnd spending
Immense sums of money, of which
they seem to have unlimited supplies.
Another uprising In India Is being
planned. In western Canada their In
fluence Is apparent In the nctlon taken
by the labor unions. Nearly ull local
unions there hnve voted to secede
from the American Federation of La
bor and to follow the I. V. W. plan of
organizing by Industries Instead of by
crafts. Their new body Is to be
known ns the One Big Union. The
delegates to the meeting thnt took this
action ndopted n resolution commit
ting them to the bolshevik plan of a
"dictatorship of the proletariat," and
also voted for n referendum to call a
general strike on June 1 for a 30-hour
flve-dny week.
What Mr. Gompers, president of tho
Aincrlcnn Federation of Labor, wilt
say of this remains to be seen. At
present ho Is In Pnrls, where the com
mission on International labor legisla
tion tins been lu session. The British
draft convention for n permanent or
ganization wns umended nnd ndopted
for submission to the peace confer
ence. The American contention thnt
each country should settle Its Internal
labor problems without Invoking the
power of the league of nntlons pre
vailed. The commission heard a dele
gation of women from the nllled coun
tries nnd promised to give due consid
eration to the points presented, these
Including eight clnlins In behalf of
working women and children.
Tho Korean Independence movement,
In reality a peaceful revolt, Is attract
ing much attention nnd giving Japan
considerable- concern. The Japanese
hnve nrrested n good many Koreans,
and with them some American mis
sionary women, nccordlng to press
dlspntcho. No ofllclnl stories of these
occurrences having been received In
Washington, the stnte department
cabled tho Amerlcnn ambnssador In
Tokyo to Investigate tho reports. The
Japanese, It Is said, chargo tho Ameri
cans with teaching the Korenns the
doctrines of liberty and personal
rights.
