A NEW LEAGUE
TO END ALL EVILS. A FRENCH SUGGESTION. (By Telegraph—Press Assn. —Copyright.) { Reuter’s Telegram). WASHINGTON, May 7. (Received May 7, 11.5 p.m.) The French proposal for a new international order as an alternative to British suggestions to modify the Versailles Treaty was suggested at to-day’s session of the Women’s League for Peace and Freedom. The French proposal, which is supported by most of the European sections of the League would constitute a world-wide League of Peoples representing consumers and producers, all countries to have legislative, executive and judicial pbwers under which they could outlaw war and revise all treaties. The League would command no armed forces, but would rely on public opinion for the enforcement of its laws, and would be empowered to resolve the question of reparations, inter-Allied debts, internationalise currencies, weights and measures, abolish all Customs tariffs, internationalise all sources of power and raw materials. A charter of labour would be compiled. The proposals were referred to a committee to obtain formal opinions from different national sections.
