Company "THE HOME MAKERS" ATMOSPHERE TENSI AND APPREHENSIVE E YELLOW PERIL IN LOWER CALIFORNIA (LAND BONE OF CONTENTION AND IMMEDIATE SUBJECT OF CONFERENCE DISCUSSION. O VIEWS ARE WIDELY DIVERGENT Lloyd George Fears Denationlzajtlon of So Many Germans Would. Cause Another W^r. Psria.—When the council of great powers met it was in an atmosphere of considerable apprehension over Pol and, which is the chief subject of din- cussion. This is. not on account o< Poland itself but because of differences which; have arisen affecting the funda mental question of nationality, to which President Wilson has given his strong approval < and also his thir teenth “point” which called for an in dependent Polish state-with access to the sea. ^ ' This last cause has introduced an issue on fhich there is a wide diverg- enceof yiews. A committee under the chairmanship of Jules Cambon, with Sir William Tyrell as the British mem ber and Dr. Robert . LorHd as the American, has reported the plap giv ing Poland this access to the sea by means of a “corridor” 60 miles wide running across east Prussia. But.the effect of this concession is to place about 1,500,000 Germans within the new Poland and to detach the eastern most part of Prussia from Germany. FTemier Lloyd George has taken the view that this denationalization of a large body of Germans would cause such discontent as would be likely to bring on another war and it is under stood that President Wilson also is not entirely satisfied with the pro posal.
