LONDON. Jan. 21
The "Morning Post" states: The logical minds of "Frenchmen refuse to believe that President Wilson's idea will give them any protection. They fear •That France may be sacrificed on the altar of impossible and impracticable ideals. The French idea is an alliance of the Allies against Germany. They realise the idea of the League, which would enabla France- to dispense with her standing army. Though this is the basis of th© American scheme. Britain's conception of the League is an elaboration of tho old Concert of Europe.. ]t is certainly necessary to 'put many railways, straits, ports, and even countries under international control.
