GRAVE DIFFICULTIES
IN WORKING THE COMPROMISE
DUTIES OF MANDATORY POWERS,
PARIS, 30th January. Mr. A. J. Eraser states that the oversea delegates believe that President Wilson's firm stand is due to the fear that Japanese occupation of the islands in the Pacific may cause an outcry in America. President Wilson declares that his fourteen points have been accepted by the Allies, including the principle of noannexation. President Wilson says: "If the Conference tolerates acquisitions we shall renew the evil atmosphere of the Vienna Congrass." Gravo difficulties are foreseen in putting the compromise into operation, seeing that the conquered may theoretically be annexed subject to the will <>f the League of Nations. The question therefore arises, Who will pay for the government and development of the conqueLvd area? Another question is whether the mandatory Powers will be allowed to exclude such people as it wishes. French, Italian, and British overseas opinion concurs in regarding international contvol a3 doomed to failure.
