PEACE CONFERENCE.
JAPANESE = AMENDMENT.
IUIIIS, April 15. A lively controversy is proceeding concerning the- responsibility for the rejection of the Japanese racial equality clause. The French newspapers which supported Japan blame President Wilson, declaring that he accepted the majority vote on Thursday for Geneva as the seat of the League, but insisted upon unanimity when the Japanese amendment was brought up. "Le Matin" bitterly adds that similarly President Wilson refused to accept the vote upon the bourgeois amendments. America accepts a majority vote when it i* in favour of America, but refuses to accept it when it favours France.
