Slate Framed Without League Covenant By FRANK SIMONDS Messawr th Staff of Special Writer far The Chroalcl at the Paris Fcaea Caferae Special Cable The Camlet rcuTrtrkt inn hr tie HoClore Newsnsser Indleetel pa AKis uarch In th past oays following th return of president Wilson we have what under dlf frnt circumstances might aslly hay been the most serious crisis of th whole peace conference That a crisis was avoided wa due to a single fact th unshakable decision of the British and JjVench to preserve th olHarlty of Anglo Amarlcan Freneh relations at any prlc What happened 1 imply told Whan th President rsached Pari he found a programme completely arranged by Which before March 21 a preliminary peace wa to he mad with Germany Thi peace waa to Include military naval econoralo and geographic terms It was to a preliminary but In reality Usraa to be In sus tanc th final peac treaty In this treaty th covenant for the league of nation was not to appear io ini programme th American commission had practically agrV WDson Vetr Prorramme At Soon at lie Arrives Ther had been no difference of opinion no debate The American commissi dn felt that there was not the smallest intention to seek to da feat th league by Indirection for to evade that question even temporarily But no sooner had th President ar rived than he almost abruptly vetoed th programme for any preliminary peac arrangement which did not in clude the covenant for th league of nation A public statement mad In Ms nim on Saturday decisively disposed of any question of his approval ot a preliminary peace plan unless It should Include th covenant for th leagu of nations In reality this put an end to any lwp of th proposed action The President took his position that preliminary treaty ot peac would Vive ttf go to th Senate that It the Senate got thl without th league covtnhnt Included exactly th opportunity ought by th Republican majority would be provided and bis position in America would be gravely compromised Situation Ironed Out Wilsons Views Taken This wa the Saturday situation On Sunday ther existed the possibility of a difference ef opinion since both JtheJTrench and British governments attached vey great value to the proposed prompt action But on Sunday night the situation waa Ironed out one mora Th British and French accepted Wilson leadership and the proposed programme went into the discard Her after all was a flnal demon strati of the extant to which both th British and th French are prepared to accept Wilsons view as th ultimate accurate1 Expression of America wishes By Monday morning all Paris knew that Wilson had suoeesifulIyMjroken th slate of th peace conference Th consequences of thl dramatic eplsodere plain There will be no preliminary peac taaaty with Ger many before April and possibly not until May when the President expects to go back to America But by the latter date he expects to hav a treaty eompehte ready to submit to an ex traordinary session of the Senate which he Intends to pall fortune 12 Revising of Covenant Hat Actually Begun In th meantime the work ot re vising the league covenant for Inclusion In the treaty has actually begun and will be finished with the utmost haste In deference to the President wishes At th earn time decision concerning German Austrian Bulgarian and Turkish matter will be left for th final settlement One th preliminary treaty is slgnad and the leagu the created It la the Presi dent Idta that It will deal with all Asiatic and African problem th question tt colonics and mandatories and such other question at ramaln undetermined But thl bar narration facta doe not ln anynsiriglv thrar plttur of what has happened Th xtraerainlry determination of th President to create hi league ot nations to include it in th peac treaty to make good his declaration In hi Nw Tork speech has In las than twenty four hours with a dramatic suddenness hardly to bo described transformed th whol progress of events In Paris Result Reached Without Ripple oh Surface nave laid aalde an Anglo French American programme for a Wilson programme Wa have reached thl result wth llttlmor than ai nppla oa th aurface however great the ubiurfaca

frontier and Uy believe It Would give tha at least a tart In th direction ot financial reparation Ido not understand that there I as yet any question that the actual term ot what Was to hav been a preliminary treaty of peace have been ohalltngad by Mr Wilson Leaders May Have Gotten Together on Agreement It may wall be that Lloyd George and 3emnceaU in conference with the President reached an agreement that postponement would not bring any such challenge but this remains to Be disclosed in th future It would be Inaocurat to aay that Mr Wilson has won a new victory because he encountered no opposition nor wa there any thought oa th part of either Franco or Brltleh to mak oven an Indirect proposal to Republican opposition In America Th truth is that th BrlshAhd th French up to th moment of th Presidents arrival believed that he was in accord with what waa being dona One this was rather aurprls ingly disclosed to bo a mistaka they promptly changed their plan to suit his desires There ts no gainsaying th factxhat th ehang may bring real and wide spread disappointment In Europe The dealre for some sort of preliminary arrangement which should at least mak a real heflnnlng la peac condition and makt promptly was almost Incalculable None Would Dare Oppose Demands of Wilson But It the deslr Is universal recog nition of th necessity ot prrvlng the good wlH America Jaqults as

often attempted to explain In my dispatches namely the conviction In Europe that at all coats American wishes should be complied with second th conviction that the President ot th United States speaks ths will of America The truth is that so great was th desire in Europ for a prompt ar rangement that not a few bllvd th Presidents course might arou actual opposition When opposition ma trlHstd waa
