THE PARIS CONFERENCES.

FRANCE AND LEAGUE OF NATIONS.

Paris, Mar. 1.

It is noticed that there is an important change in public French opinion concerning the League of Nations. There was a great deal of scepticism about the League being a practical measure, but it is now recognised that the League can be the safeguard of France.

BELGIAN CLAIMS.

14

Instructions have been given to M. Tardieu, President of the Commision studying the Belgian claims, to discuss with benevolence the territorial rectifications of Belgium, even where those go beyond the International treaties of 1530 1839, and the demands for a portion of the Dutch province. of Limbourg and the Walloon districts of the German palatinata.

SINO-JAPANESE TREATIES.

A member of the Chinese delegation to the Peace Con- ference made a categorical statement that the Chinese Government had never objected to publishing all the Sino- Japanese treaties sad notes well knowing that its interest is to avoid secret diplomacy. When the Fire Power Council called for the secret documents the Japanese delegates ex- pressed willingness to comply with the Council's request, wishing only to consult Tokio. Meanwhile the Chinese dele- gates too had no objection. The Chinese delegation declares that it is assured of whole hearted support of their attitude by the whole of China.-Havas.

STATEMENT TO JOURNALISTS,

Paris, March - 7.

M. Tardieu at the weekly conference of journalists stated that the French Government hoped the League of Nations would be made a part of the preliminaries of peace. The connection between the League of Nations and the Peace Treaty must be maintained and it was highly de sirable that the German delegates should admit the principle of the League of Nations, with the understanding that Ger- many would be made a member after giving proof of inten- tion carry out the terms of peace. Agreement was brought about yesterday on the Naval Terms. The Allies are in complete accord that the German Navy should not be hand- ed back to the Germans. The French favour the German Navy being given, over in part to the French Government, Re- garding the military terms M. Tardien concluded that the Allies had unanimity in the feeling that the terms should be made more severe than suggested by the Allied military advisers. The Sub-Commission of War Responsibility sub- mite a report indicting that the ex-Kaiser, the Crown Prince, the inner circle of the German war party and several hun- dred civil and military officials who governed occupied terri-'» tories in France, Belgium, Poland, M. Leygues reiterated the previous expression of opinion that the German warships. should neither be sunk nor broken up as constituting common capture of the Allies but should be divided in the best way for France to make up the losses sustained. —Havsa.

REDUCING GERMANY'S MILITARY STRENGTH.

Paris, March 8. It is worthy of note that France, which more than any other conntry is interested in the future military strength of Germany, has left to the Allies the imposing of stronger terms than suggested by herself. The British view is to permit Germany solely an Army of volunteers of 70,000 men.-Haras.
