It has been re- ported previously that the point has been passed where the creation of a super-sovereignty had been considered feasible. pressed Awaiting President’s Views, The general outlines of the British plan also are taken in American quar- ters to be in consonance with the generally crystallizing 1dea here that the league probably would be pro- jected as a sort of a guardianship for smaller nations Xtending interna- tional assistance for the development and preservation of economic and financial as military sove eignty It is pointed out in American circles, however, that a full measure of comparison cannot be made until President Wilson makes a statement of his own ideas and that he is con- sidering some phase which is not ex- pressed in the British outline Work Favorably. To have an outline laid down by Premier Lloyd George, however, is recognized as a most agreeable start- ing point from which the American delegates hope to develop a definite foundation of general principles which may be completed before the presi- dent leaves for the United States. Warning Comes From Wilon. The warning issued yesterday by the supreme council that territorial claims must come before the conference un- marked by attempts at possession by force is very widely discussed here. as well Progresses ed that President Wilson was the author of the warning and that he has a deep feeling in the matter because in at least one instance where small bodies of American troops were under other command they were used to push forward into a territory where the native population would not have tolerated the forces of any European power, but hailed the coming of the Americans with joy. In some of these cases, after the welcome had died down, the population awoke to find the American troops had departed and that their towns were in the possession of troops of another nationality. The president, it known, took summary action to prevent the use of American forces for such purposes. He now has secured an agreement in the peace conference to n all na- tions against such steps.
