It is complicated with the question how much the central powers can pay. Each Premier has found lilm .eelt embarrassed by promises to his lieoplo as to what the treaty must con tain. In this regard, each one has found that Wis claims, based only on the view point of himself and his countrymen, roust be moderated. t Another burning question is that of the boundary of Italy on the Adriatic Ilaly InBlsts on liaWng Fiume because the port has probably a majority of Ttnllnns in It. hut it has always been the port of the Slav dependency of Hun gary and it Is surrounded by a country 21th which it has the closest business innections, which is overwhelmingly 31ay Italy Reported Uncompromising the normal and appropriate sea- Continued from rate One the launching perilous.

The league of nations repre sents the greatest attempt that ever has been made to substitute reason and Justice for force and Intrigue as the governing principle of International re lations. "The principal of a league of nations has been accepted but the league will prove fruitless If It Is to be no more than a new pleco of International organization. What matters Is that tho units which make up this organization shall be Inspired by a real determination to work In close harmony together for the betterment and liberty of mankind Nations must not let themselves believe that In having drawn up a paper con stitution the peace of the world has been made secure. If they allow themselves to be mislead by this policy they will only be reawakened by a new war.
