In a spe cial edition today on the question of f league Af nations, the Guardian )rints articles from many prominent 'tatesmen, including Lord Haldane, 'ormer secretary of war; Viscount 3ryce, former ambassador to the ' 'Tnited States;Albert Thomas, the 7rench socialist leader, and Pre : lier Lloyd George, The premier, ,r ,i his message, says: ; ' "Nothing is more important than ; 'iat public opinion should inform self on this subject.

' Berlin, March 29. Germany will not accept the leagqe of nations covenant in its present form. Hti delegates will go . to Paris not to "sign on the dotted line" but to dis cuss and offer "positive co-operation." Her chief objections to the present draft are: ... 1 That the freedom of the seas is ignored. ' 2 That the freedom of com merce is not sufficiently guaran teed. , ' - 3 That her former colonies are to te disposed of without her co operation and consent. The German foreign minister, Count von , Brockdorff-Rantzau, makes these things clear in an inter view with the Berlin correspondent of the The Frankfurter Zeitunga translation of which follows: Q "In the national assembly at Weimar several speakers expressed themselves energetically apainst the covenant of the league of nations which President Wilsotf reajj to a plenary session of the 'Paris' peace conference on February 14. Docs your excellency share their views?" Translated From EnglisKt A "To pass judgment oi the league of nations covenant from' the standpoint of German foreign policy is not an easy matter. Many of the articles are so framed as to be open to different interpretation and execu tion. Perhaps one reason for this is that the articles were drafted in English and were only translated into French diplomatic . language whe"n they were discussed by the commission. "Furthermore, the articles show that they constitute a compromise of conflicting views. Thorughout, the whole covenant there runs an extra ordinary degree of suspicion. "It is further characteristic that the list of members published simul taneously with the. draft contain1; only' states which have been at war with Germany or broken relations with us and that President Wilson deemed it .necessary to use some very, harsh words against the, Ger mans in his opening speech.''l Q. "Do you mean that for these rtasons the covenant cannot be' ac cepted b us?" A. "We must, if in any way pos sible, co-operate in a positive man rer in the development which has been opened by. the Wilsonian itr.gue. I am convinced that world, peace can be attained only through the pacific organization of the peoples ajid though the first steps cn this roaeV must hit upon all sorts or obstacles they will nevertheless bring us nearer to the goal." Q. "How does your excellency conceive 'positive co-operation?'" Calls Draft Oligarchic. A. "We shall endeavor, with the aid of public' opinion, to remove the cbjectionable features from the covenant. Taken as a whole, the Graft has, I must state with regret, a character more oligarchic than democratic." ' Q. "Do you, therefore, recom mend that Germany, in the hope of iriprovement of the covenant, should join the league of nations?" A. "On the whole, yes. Inac ceptable in their present form seem c me at present only the conditions regarding 'colonies and- territories whiclr, as a consequence of war, have ceased to be under the' sover eignty of states which formerly gov erned them." - "In the first place I cannot admit that from the standpoint of interna tional law, Germany's sovereignty over iier colonies has ceased to ex ist. Until peace is concluded, it is only a question of occupation. "The manner in which thus far possessions of Germany and Turkey have been awarded to various powers looks more like a distribu tion of the spoils of war among happy conquerors than like the gen. erous and just adjustment of the co lonial problems as advocated By President Wilson." "The question of the freedom of the seas has been entirely ignored and that the question of freedom of commerce is really , touched upon only on points where exceptions from such freedom are deemed necessary. , "There are lacking in the cove nant, therefore, two important points of the Wilsonian program. The 'great field of international workmen's law, the funda. entally new and most promising task of a Payne Investment Company INSURANCE All Kinds 537 Omaha Nat'l Bk. Bldg. Douglat 1781.

Q "Do you believe, in view of these facts,' that Germany will join the league?" . A "That will depend entirely up on the conditions on which cither powers'are prepared to admit us ino the league. "If in the questions of world com merce and colonies we are to bo treated as a pariah; if the treaty of peace which our adversaries will submit to us contains terms conflict ing with President Wilson's baaic principles, then let the won! this the German nation cease protesting agzinst such injus tice inflicted upon it. "We shall therefore, be able to rest on the fact that in the beginning of last November, . when Cermany accepted the armistice terms, a con tract betweeu Germany and her ad versaries regarding the basic princi ples 'o peace was effected through the good omi of the American government.
