LEAGUE OF NATIONS
VIEWS OF M. VENIZELOS.
(AUSTRALIAN-NEW ZEALAND CABLE ASSOCIATION.) NEW YORK, 21st December. The Paris correspondent of the Chicago News interviewed M. Venizelos, Premier of Greece, who said:—"We must have a League of Nations. The question Of the freedom of the seas could be settled' if assurances were given by Britain that the right of blockade would. be maintained only against; opponents of the laws of the League of Nations. There may be an international fleet; and lam in favour of that. The League should have legislative,'judicial, and executive powers. If the League is formed I assume that secret treaties will be abrogated. When the Allied Council at VersaiUes agreed to President Wilson's fourteen, points, all secret treaties were abrogatetL automatically." v It is considered that M. Venizelos referred to the Treaty of London, -which promised Italy Adriatic lands (? islands) if she would join the Allies.
