PARIS, Jan, 16,—Representatives of France, Great Britain, Italy, Greece, Belgium, Japan Brazil, members of the Council of tt League of Nations, met in the Toom"” of the French Foreign Office @t 10 o'clock this morning for the first meeting in the history of the league. The United States was not represented. Besides M. Bourgeols the members were Earl Curzon, for Great Britaun; Premier Venizelos, for Greece; Carlo Ferraris, for Italy; Paul H. Mans, for Belgium; Baron Matsui, for Japan; Dr. Gastoa De Cunha, for Brazil; Count Quinones De Leon, for Spain. The Council organized at 10.30 e’clock by electing Leon Loifrgevis, President of the French Senate, as chairman and confirming olce of Sir Eric Drummond of Great Lrit- ain as General Secretary. ho first official act of the League Council was the appoin'ment of a commission to trace upon the spot the frontiers uf the territory of the Sarre Basin. | The first formal protest to make its appearance came from “the envoys of the elected Gov ernment of the Irish Republi against “the unreal, English simulacre of an_ international league of peace.” No mention of the protest was made made during the meeting of the Coun- cil, but copies handed to the newspaper correspondents after they left the Foreign Ofice. The ment was signed “Quaklaigh Daffy.” The protest insisted that the League was illusory and incomplete, lacking authority and sanction, and declared that the United States stands out indignation and repudiation” of it. “Phe task of presiding at tivis meet- ing said Mr. Bourgeois In his open- ing address, “and inaugurating this ar international institution should have fallen to President Wilson.

REGRETTED BY ALL DELEGATES TALK OF HOOVER “AS THE NOMINE OF BOTH PARTS Indorsement by Democrats if Republicans Name Him Is Suggested. By David Lawrence, Special Correspondent of The Evening World. WASHINGTON, Jan. 16 (Copy- right, 1920).—If the Republicans should nominate Herbert Hoover it is by no means outside of the range of possibility that the Democrats would Indorse him and bring about a coalition Government for the first time in American history. There would be no electoral con- test, and, being the successful nomi- nee of both parties, Mr. Hoever would naturally be obliged to ignore party lines and draw upon individ uals from both parties in selecting a Cabinet and managing the Govern- ment. : This came ocratic very interesting suggestion to me from a man in the Dem- Party who perhaps has as much power to-day as anybody else in it in influencing the next Demo- cratic National Convention at San Francisco was a direct conse- quence of the speech made tn New York by Julius Barnes, intimate friend of the former Food Adminis- trator, saying that Mr, Hoover was a Progrgs: ive Republican and that it was his own wish that the Republi- cans and not the Democrats do the nominating. MANY DEMOCRATS ANGRY OVER THE BARNES SPEECH, Many other Democrats were peeved by the utterance. They indignantly demanded to know if Mr. Hoover col- laborated with Mr. Barnes in prepar- ing that speech and were somewhat reassured to find out that he did not and that his first knowledge came when the newspaper men told him of the delivery of the address in New York, ‘There happened to be Wednesday night a conference of ten leading Demoornts, all of them powerful in the Democratic party.
