PROSPECT OF COMPROMISE
AMERICA'S ATTITUDE LESS RIGID.
(Received January 31, 11.30 a»m.)
PARIS, 29th January.
Mr. A. J. Fraser, 'representing the Australian and New Zealand Press As•ocia'tiori, writes: "The Peace Council was occupied all day in considering questions relating to Poland. The Imperial Cabinet Ministers, with the Dominions' representatives, discussed colonial questions in the forenoon. The Dominion Ministers urged energetic action in their interests. It is believed that the Amerifcan delegates are not entirely unanimous in regard to the internationalisation of ihe conquered territories, and possibly a compromise will be reached by which the territories will be forthwith handed over to the nations interested, with a reservation, in favour of giving the League of Nations some voice when the League is an accomplished fact.
" French newspapers declare that the British Government will firmly adhere to' the principle that the colonies captured by the Dominions should come within control of the Dominions concerned. I am unable to confirm this view from our own representatives;' but other information strengthens the view that America has weakened on her previous attitude. The Council will resume colonial discussion to-morrow."
