GREAT EXPERIMENT WITH GREAT PROMISE
(Received May 11, 9 a.m.)
PARIS, Bth May. Sir Joseph Ward said the Treaty covered such gigantic areas that its length was not surprising. It was a great experiment, necessarily based on uncertainty, but if it prevented one great war'it would confer inestimable benefit. Th« fact that Germany Would be compelled to give up her ill-gotten territories would bo cordially approved in all civilised countries, and it would act as a limitation upon her tending in the direction of peace. The world demanded tho punishment of the Kaiser. Sir Joseph. Ward said he believed that the repatriation proposals would, prove to be effective, and hold that tho financial burdens should fall on' tho enemy, not on the Allies. If the Somoans ultimately desired to join Now Zealand, the. League of Nations would grant their wish.
