NEW INTERNATIONAL ORDER
4 LEAGUE TO OUTLAW WAR AND REVISE TREATIES PROPOSAL DISCUSSED AT WOMEN’S CONGRESS By Telegraph—Press Association. —COPYRIGHT. (Rec. May 7, L 1.5 p.m.) Washington, May 7. A French proposal for a new international order, as an alternative to the British suggestions to modify the Versailles Treaty, was suggested at today’s session of the Women’s League for Peace and Freedom. The French proposal, supported by most of the European sections of the league, would constitute a world-wide league of peoples, representing consumers and producers of all countries, to have legislative, executive and judicial powers, under which it could outlaw and i revise all . treaties. It would command no armed forces, but rely on public opinion for the enforcement of its laws. It would be empowered to resolve the question of reparations and inter-Allied debts, internationalise currencies and weights and measures, abolish all custom tariffs, internationalise all sources of power and raw materials, giving every country, if possible, access. A world charter of labour would be compiled. The proposals were referred tea committee to obtain the formal opinions of the different national sections. —Reuter-
