AMERICA AND PEACE.

"PRESIDENT'S POWER IXfVUTED. ADHERENCE TO THE LEAGUE. (Received 9.45 a,m.) WASHINGTON, August 21.

President Wilson, replying to written questions from Senators, stated that the President had no power to declare peace by proclamation. He would not consent to any such suggestion. It was questionable whether a League of Nations could be created by three or more nations adhering to the covenant agreed upon in Paris.

Explaining the mandatory system, the President pointed out that the German colonies were only provisionally granted to the present mandatories, who were subject to the League of Nations as trustees. No legal title to the exGerman territories was vested in Britain, Australia, South Africa, or New Zealand.—(A. and N.Z. Cable.)
