Paris.—“There has never been an"
disagreement on the fundamental prin
ciples of a league of nations between
the French delegates or other "pow
ers,” sadi Professor Ferdinand Lar-
nadue, dean of the Paris law faculty
and one of the French delegates on
the leagde of nations commsision.
“We do not seek an international
army for the purpose of making war,
but for the purpose of preventing it.
“Further disturbances tf the
world’s peace will come, from Ger
many alone. German’s unsatisfied
greedy appetite, her lust for power
and domination, will return as soon
as shQ feels strong enough to renew
her aggressions. Inasmuch as Ger-
many ome day . will be admitted to
the league of nations, what Mr.
Bourgeois and myself objected to was
the necessity of being placed in the
position of taking Germanys’ word
for anything. The German people
have not progressed along the lines
of sincerity.”
INTER-ALLIED FINANCIAL
ALLIANCE IS ADVOCATED
Paris—An interallied financial al
liance is strongly advocated by Ed-
Mund Therry, the French economist,
in The Figaro. It should take the
form of a special organisation, he
says, to receive for Joint account all
sums paid by Germany, Austria-Hun
gary, Bulgaria and Turkey, which it
•would transform into liquidation
bonds “to be distributed among the
allies.’
Mr. Therry points out that after the
signing of peace the richest entente
nations will seek to improve their
monetary situation and consoJidate
their financial situation as rapidly as
possible on a gold basis. Such con
solidation would augment the diffi-
fciilties of the less favored allies in
Converting to gold, sterling dollars or
francs, the claims they recover from
the enemy, on which they count to
pay Qie debts they have contracted,
either with the wealthier allies or with
neutrals.
