THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS.
VIEWS OF IL VENIZ3LOS. . FREEDOM OF SEAS EASILY SETTLED. Received Dec. 23, 12.50 a.m. New York, Dec. 21. The Chicago News' Paris correspondent interviewed M. Vcuizelos, who said: "We must have a league of nations. The question of the freedom of the seas could be settled if assurances were given by Britain that the right of blockade would bo maintained only against opponents of the laws of the ltaguc of nations. There may be an interuational fleet, and I favor that. The league must have legislative, judicial, and executive powers. If the league is formed, J assume that secret treaties will be abrogated. When the Allied Council at Versailles agreed to President Wilson's fourteen points all secret treaties were abrogated automatically." It is considered that M. Venizelos referred to the Treaty of London, promising Italy Adriatic lands if she would join the Allies.—Aus. N.Z. Cable Association. .
