LITTLE NATIONS
WANT BIG SHARE
I
i
Resent the Control of
.Peace Conference by
Five Great Powers
RUMBLE OF DISCONTENT
Curiosity Expressed as to Why '
Japan Was Quietly Added i
to "Big Four''
By CHARLES A. SELDEN
Wireless to Evening Public Ledger
Cocvrioht. 191, by J'kHIo l.rdoer Co,
ani Xno 1 ork Times Co,
Paris, Jan. 23. There U already con
siderable rumbllnd of discontent
nmong the representatives ot the
nmall nations at tho Peace Conference
because of what they consider the too
great predominance of tho five blir
Powers In the plan to arrange all ques
tlons beforo they are submitted to thi
full conference for tlnal decision. It
Is assumed that this final decision "ill
be necessarily a mere perfunctoty ap
proval by the other nations of what
America, England, France. Italy and
Japan have already determined upon,
and that any attempt to do anything
but approve will be futllo. Incident
ally there Is some curiosity as to who
Is dominating, what suddenly became
the "Big rive" Instead of the "Hig
Four,"
At the outset of the prellminailes
H was only America. Trance. Kngland ,
and Italy that counted, and then, with-'
out explanation, Japan gets ndded to
the list of the big Powers. This fact
has added much to the resentment of
some of the small nations who suffered
most from the war and who took a
far more active part In tho war. The
objection on the part of the small
nations, "oppressed" and othcrvle, Is
to the principle of the thing, rsone
of them contends that every question
could or should be thrashed out in a
full meeting of tho more than sixty
delegates of all the nations; but those
who are dissatisfied with the present I
plan believe there should be some mid
die ground, and Incidentally there H
some revival of talk concerning the
rights and equality of small nations
Representation Unadjusted
Some feeling of this sort was shown
just before tho opening of the con
fetence. when Belgium nnd Serbia
were credited with only two delegates
each, and In spite of their war suffer
ings put in the same category with
Slam. That was remedied by their
getting three each, but not until after
three had been allotted to Brazil, upon
tho Insistence of tho United States.
because Brazil ii the largest South
American nation participating In the
conference.
Hut that Is another detail The real
complaint of the small nations does
not touch so much upon the numerical
strength of their delegations, as upon
the plan of the five big Powers to
keep them out of the most vital dis
cussion at which tho real decisions
will be reached. i
As already Intimated, they think
there should be :i mlddlo ground con
sidered, an elastic committee system
by which any small nation or group
of small nations would luue full
equality with the big ones In deciding
each question which directly con
cerned It or them. Kor example. tlu
Investigation of the Russian question
which Is being made by the "Rig Fixe"
preliminary to arriving at a. most vital
conclusion Is being e'ted as an illus
tration of the exrlUMeiies that ought
not to be.
Rumania A lull Intere-le.il
.Rumania borders on IltifsU. and
therefore, is dally Interested In wh.it
happens to and In the latter i-ountry.
"" ttut she had no i'.irt In the dlscus'Icm
There Is not much hue for Rumania.
as a matter of fact, by the other small
countries, but as a matter of principles
they declare she should he considered in
all matters pertaining to the State ucro?-
her own borders
Another Illustration which Is glien
by those who obJct to placing tin" en- I
lire work of remaking the world In the,
hands of the men w-lio are the Premiers i
or Foreign Ministers of lite five coun- ,
tries, Is the Adriatic i.i question Thiet
inoles a dispute full of war porslblli
tles between Italv and Serbia litch
of these two countries Is fully as much
concerned as the other, hut under th '
present arrangement Italy will h.ne !
a place at the table when the matter Is
decided, while Serbia will b outside, ot.
at best, as a witness
Another question for the conference to
decide Is that of tho rights of Holland
and Belgium In tho use of tho rher
Scheldt Although they are rated as
nmall nations, Holland and Belgium feel
they should hae as rnuHi to sav tn
this matter as Japan and Ital, for ox-
ample.

for three weeks and possess a range of
20.000 miles, or nearly once round the

I'nrls, Jan. 2.1 Tho Supreme Coun

adopted n pioposal submitted by Pres

the Russian chaos. The essentials of
the plan are that representattves of all
the Russian and Siberian factions

the situation. In tho hope of teaching
a settlement of Russia's dlflicultles,
As evidence of good faith tho Russian

This pioposal Is the- outcome of a
week's discussion utnong the chief del

a leflectlon of the plan of Premier

Warsaw, Jan. ID (delayed.) (Hy A.
!. Tlicro is much rivalry In East
Prussia between tho Bauerenrnt,
tho Arbelterrat nnd tho Soldntcn
rat (respectively tho Peasants',
Woikmen's and Soldiers' Councils),
with political affalts generally
managed by tho Arbelterrat, which
Is only partly composed of Social
ists. An instanco of this rivalry
was witnessed at the station of
Illovo, on the Polish frontier.
Tho president of tho Arbelterrat
criticized n sergeant of the Soldat
enrat for tho way in which ho
was holding his ride,
Tho sergeant of the Arbelterrat
assaulted tho president with a pair
of brass knuckles, bruising his
nose.
Hut the" president retaliated by
stabbing the sergeant of tho Sol
datenrnt nine times with a knife.
Powers Turn to
Plans for League
(ontlmird from t'ote One
address to tho delegation, Mr Wilson
said that It was with "genuine satisfac
tion that the United States came to the
help of Frame," and that he believed
that.lt was true that "the coming of the
Americans prevented a catastrophe that
might have overwhelmed tho world."
.Secretary of State Robert Lansing
gave a dinner in honor of John TV.
Davis. Ameilcan ambassador to tlreat
Britain, last evening. President Wilson
and all officials attached to the Ameri

PiesUlent Wilson also received a
deputation of the students of the Sor

science of the 1'nlverslty of Paris. They
lucsenttd him with a rouvenlr, cons. st
ing of an album bound in old parch
ment nnel containing excellent photo
graphs of the Rhelms Cathedral before
the war.
In leply to an address which was read
bv a oung woman student, Mr. Wilson
said he was particularly touched by the
gift as n mark of esteem from the stu
elelitr, which, he said, he accepted "as a
piofc'.sor." He remarked that ho would
tell American students of tho "nobility
of ihe sentiments of their French com

It Ifi now definitely fettled that a
large number of American troops will

deal with boundary questions In a eclen
tlflc manner.
The United States has many experts
In Paris with full information about all
South and Central American questions
which nro likely to be brought to the at
tention of tho delegates. The boundary
dispute between Ouatcmala. and Hon
duras, In which Secretary of State Lans
ing was named an arbitrator, Is said to
be moving toward settlement nnd c-in
probably bo adjusted without reference
to tho peace Congress.
As et Colombia has not mndo any
overtures In reference to her differences
with the United States and no formal
steps havo been taken to bring any of
the scores of Latln-Amcrlcan boundary
disputes to the attention of tho congress,
although It Is expected that many ot
these historic controversies will bo re
ferred to the lcaguo of nations as the
logical tribunal for their consideration
Should tho status of Panama be
changed as a result of a possible new
International sea policy, It Is expected
that Latin-American nations, ns a whole,
will make representations asking for
modification of what Is said to be re
garded an n limitation of their rights of
sovereignty by the United States. In
vestigation of tho league of nations of
Colombia's nlleged assistance to the Ger
man navy by permitting tho use of her
Islands Is also regarded is probable.
Many diplomats interested In the
league of natlonB believe that boundary
disputes, especially thoso In remote sec
tions of Latln-Amcrlca, are largely duo
to tho lack of accurate purveys nnd the
dearth of scientifically collected histori
cal data, They aro confident that, by
assisting In the preparation of this dato,
tho league enn remove any possible
causes of serious differences.

ject of constant aggression rrom tho
teerninn submarines. I wished then to
react against aggression, but found my

opinion We, therefore, were compelled
to be neutral and were lo.vally Impartial.
The armistice being signed, vve enn no
longer be neutral. We must resume our
pre-war policy"
Count Romnnones recognized that
Spaln'H policy In Morocco had heen a
failure-, but declared that rpaln must
obseive the Cartagena convention (be

tween thn three countries In Mediterra
