Dafoe 1 arts feb. The policy of concentrating the responsibility for important decisions in a Small com Mittee of great Power representatives has been carried to a Point where it retards the Progress of the Confer ence is pretty Well established by Tho events of the past few Days. After Tyve Days preoccupation with the thorny question of the new armistice terms to be Linoard upon Germany a Lelmon had not yet been reached. Duran this period the committee of ten has sat alternately As the supreme War Council and As the con feign be committee and in the latter capacity Lias heard the cases put for Ward by of the arabs and the Helga los. Today it heard further belgian arguments and also considered where the new romanian Boundary is to be placed with respect to Transylvania. It must now return to the consideration of the armistice questions in consultation with the special committee of thu civil and military representatives of the great Powers which has been formed. A decision must to reached within two Days. Alarmed Over Germany s attitude. There is dissatisfaction bordering almost on alarm Over the now perfectly Obi ions policy of the germans to delay the fulfilment of the armis Tice conditions my the Best source to follow the of the Allied discussions. French opinion generally favors the imposition of terms that will reduce Germany to u state of military impotence thus enabling the allies to reduce their armed strength during the period of peace negotiations without running the risk that Germany will refuse the. Terms of peace imposed upon her and defy the Powers to enforce them. The american View is that Ger Many Miu uld be called upon prep Tolly to Fullil with no Forther delays the conditions of the armistice under the threat of economic or even military pressure and thut she should Alwi be required to Supply authentic information As to her available War store i armament and armed forces. The american View is much less our most than the Krench As to the possibility of a revival of armed resistance by Germany. They consider that has rat hed a Point where military action would be difficult. Delay great help to Germany. British opinion is old nay Between views but is favourable to conditions Beim established which would enable the present processes of Dis armament to continue while the terms of Pence Are Belnick worked out. The policy that the Gorman govern ment u planning to follow is now known. The i Muter the in Lix no the Tesins of peace the better their purpose ill be they Hope fur disunion and disagreement the great Powers in which cog j they will profess in ardent sympathy with whatever i Amer favors the most lenient course and will Endeavor to establish some kind of a entente with it looking to such a of Allied Resolution As enable them to refuse to sign i treaty of peace n course which 1.3 now being foreshadowed in Ger Many. Every sign of divergences of View by the allies u being exaggerated and exploited in Germany for the encouragement of a spirit of resistance. This makes it highly desirable that discussion in Allied press and Paella Man should be discreet. Indiscretion of Paris papers. La Temps a leading Krench paper yesterday had an article Ursine he allies to maintain unimpaired not Only actual Unity but the appearance of Unity As the Only Osalbo Means to secure peace. This article perhaps indicates a realization by this journal and other influential papers in 1 arts. That they arc themselves chiefly responsible for any Hope in Germany that there is a serious discord in Tho Allied conference owing1 to the Zeal in which they have carried on press la Palmis in support of particular solutions of delicate problems which they favored. Thus French news papers have taken the grave responsibility of Suyani thut after fifteen cars of Accord in foreign policies there was now disagreement Between the French and governments. Liu Chiiko of the support Given to the mandatory principle by Tho Uriel so plenipotentiaries. Thin indiscretion was repeated .1 few Days Aeo in its comment on the aral claims put for Ward by Limyr Fauel. Disappointment for Germany.

Thi expectation by Ger Many of Allied differences will be Dis appointed. At the time it is Eyl Clit that it is on by the acceptance by All Tho of the principles underlying league of nations involving thu of mandatory for sover eign rights and the recognition of Keif determination even with respect to the choosing of a mandatory that deadlock upon the matter of territorial adjustment has been avoided. Wilson to leave sunday. Tho expectation of the Clos in up of the work of the committee on the league of nations and holding Plen Ary sessions before president Wil son s departure Are now somewhat l. Difficulties having been in cont nuts on Paffie two guarantee of peace under mandatory system greater than Ever says Curzon London feb. 12 British wireless Curzon former Viceroy of India and government Leader in the House of discussed in the House of commons ast night the mandatory system of ruling former German and turkish possessions As adopted in principle by the peace Confer ence. In substance he said the adoption of the principle was merely re cognition by the world of the principles of colonial administration which had been consistently acted on by great Britain for the Best part of half a Century and by the most advanced of the other great nations of the world. The difference would be Hal whereas in the past there had been nobody with authority to insist upon proper observation of conditions Olhs than the self interest self respect or conscience of the great Powers concerned there would now be in the society of nations an organisation whose duty it would be to supervise the arrangements and Sec that they were faithfully carried out. It must be apparent. Lord Curzon continued that the conditions of the mandate would vary in different cases. One of the results of the mandatory system would be a distinct raising of the Standard of colonial administration throughout the world. It was by the acceptance of the mandatory system he declared Lylial conference found itself moving much More than it anticipated in the direction of a society of nations which had be come essential. If there was no society behind the mandatory solutions there would be a falling Back into old International jealousies rivalry Etc. All these dangers might not be avoided. Lord Curzon admitted but the world would have at any rate a guarantee of peace infinitely greater than any which had previously existed. Ambassador to report is Given some credence at is silent his acceptance of Post would have upon Canadian politics Ottawa feb. There is no Foll Cal confirmation of the report that sir Robert Borden has been offered the pos Etlor. Of British ambassador at Washington there is a Strong inclination to place credence on it. In the first place the report appeared in the London dully express lord i3eaver Brook s paper and in the second place sir Robert Borden himself riven an Opportunity to do so has not denied the report. Lord Beaverbrook is known to be very close in the councils of the administration and it is not believed that his paper would make the state ment unless it was properly bused. Sir Robert has a habit of giving Frank denial to anything1 which is without foundation but in the present in stance he evaded the question by statin that to had no observation to if the offer has actually been made its acceptance by sir Robert As an honorable culmination to 22 years of Public life would not cause Surprise it Ere. Sir Robert entered politics in 1s92, and was appointed Leader of the conservative opposition in 1900. The position of ambassador to Washington. Is a highly honorable one and if it has been offered to sir Robert the offer is a High compliment to the Dominion. 1 remier Borden comfortably wealthy and with the exception of lady Borden has no Domestic ties in Ottawa. It is not. However believed Here that he would accept the position until after consultation in caucus with his followers. His acceptance would have a pro found effect upon Canadian politics and it is certain that he would not make a definite decision without very careful consideration. The further report that sir Robert is returning from overseas with Wilson May lend color of probability to the statement. Refuses to discuss it. Paris. Feb. Press Robert Bordun.

These demands have emanated from re turned soldiers and labor organizations.

This i Lias been done in order to ameliorate the situation and to try to get Canadian Mills operating again in View of the fact that the Export company Ware will ing to place orders at prices on a competitive basis with other coun tries. There Jiava been no Pur chases for Export since dec. I 7, and there remains at Canadian sea Board Points some tons of flour. Transportation difficulties arc among the chief obstacles but in View of an improvement in the ship Ping wheat Export company is willing to meet conditions and to place moderate orders for which they arc endeavouring to shipping arrangements. As the United states in december re moved the Price limitation for bran and shorts it had become necessary to do the same thing in Canada in order that Canadian flour May compete with the United states products in the various marvels. As the wheat Export company has decided in order to their requirements to Purchase Only a Standard flour that May with safely be shipped to any part of the world by the Allied governments they will maintain the present milling stand Ard and in order to stabilize the Industry it is not the present intention to change the milling Standard for Domestic flour until the end of the crop year.
