Paris, April 12. The League of Nations Commission, under the presidency of sident Wilson, has adopted a new draft Covenant entirely. The French maintained the reservations of two points to the Covenant, last quarter 34. which will be shortly presented to the Plenary Peace Conference. The newspapers, criticising the question of Brussels being made the seat of the League of Nations, say that President Wilson is opposed to it on the ground that the memory of the German war azactiona would be too acute and lasting to admit of the founding of a base at Belgium for the reconciliation of the people.
