PEACE AFTER WAR.
A LEAGUE OF NATIONS. PRESSURE ON GERMANY. (Received 8.30 a.m.) WASHINGTON, March 22. Senator Owen introduced a resolution into the Senate authorising the President to call a League of Allied Nations. He urged the United States, England, Franco, Japan, Italy, and China to draft a treaty stipulating the principles of international law. The League will require Germany to make peace in 30 days or be isolated commercially for five years, or to suffer an increased penalty if Germany long delays peace. Senator Owen suggested that it might be necessary to cut out Germany's exports, imports, cables, telegraphs, and mails. '.ftie United Press Association's Washington correspondent states that Senator Owen's speech, following Lord Pannoor's speech in the House of Lords,- is interpreted as the beginning of an informal feeler to ascertain the world's opinion as to a League of Nations to enforce peace after the war.— (A. and N.Z.)
