A DURABLE PEACE
FRANCE’S CONTRIBUTION LIMITATION OF SOVEREIGNTY (Rec. 10 p.m.) PARIS, Mar. 23. “ France is ready to go beyond the Dumbarton Oaks plan and to consent for the sake of real collective security to great limitations of her sovereignty, although she is well aware that she cannot impose her ideas on others,’ said the Minister of Information, M. Tietgen, when discussing French amendments which will be presented to the San Francisco Conference. (This is the first time any Great Power has ever expressed its willingness to limit its own sovereignty in the interests of world peace.) “ France,” he said, “ thinks a durable peace presupposes an international organisation on a wider basis and wielding more power, which necessitates an inter-nations’ authority superior to that of the various States and even to that of the Great Powers themselves. France knows she must accept as a matter of fact the opinion of the Great Powers, who still consider the organisation of true collective security as premature.”
