A correspondent of the United Press in London interviewed Lord Robert Cecil, and the correspondent affirms that the interview embodies the views of the Cabinet. Lord Robert Cecil pointed out that Britain is not only.willing but is desirous that the Peace Conference shall organise a permanent League o£ Nations, but four provisions would be necessary for the foundation of such a league. First, there should be a permanent secretariat; second, a fixed' place of meeting; third, periodical meetings; and fourth, no war shall be possible until the difficulty is discussed at a meeting of members of the League, which must have administrative j^yers as well as authority to settle disputes.
