SOME AMENDMENTS
ANTI-WILSON CLAUSES
FRENCH AND JAPANESE PROPOSALS.
PARIS, 12th February,
Japan has proposed an amendment to the League of Nations draft providing that all the countries of the world must permit free ingress to aH'peopleß. Another amendment from France asks two questions ; What guarantee is given fpr tho protection of the French eastern frontier? What guarantee is given that the German vote in the United States wiU not use American politics in order to give Germany the strongest position, within the League? Obviously, neither Britain, nor America will entertain Japan's request, but France jnay be met by pledging each nation to provide a certain force available for the maintenance of the peace of the world. The real significance of the amendments is their antagonism to President Wilson. They represent the methods of France and Japan to curb him in view of his dictatorial demands concerning tlie armistice. In other - words, the amendments cannot be separated from the general conflict now proceeding between Wilsonism and realism.
