GERMANY TO BE : EXCLUDED FROM PEACE LEAGUE

Curzon Declares Germans . Should be Barred From League of Nations. (Hy Associated Press) LONDON", June 27. The House of Ijnrds today discussed the proposed plans of a league of nations after the war. Viscount Bryce urged the government to open an inquiry, into the subject and to let the world know that it was doing so. , , Karl Curzon of Kedleston, government leader in the House of Lords, agreed with Viscount Bryce that there was no reason why, without waiting for the termination of the war, the government should not discuss the proposal for a league of nations, which, he said, ought to be called into existence immediately the war was ended. To a large extent, leagues of nations existed already, as an instance, the league of the British Empire and the league of over twenty nations to resist German militarism. There also was in existence In Paris machinery representing Great Britain,

Every government official know

that dozens of hospitals and hospital ships have been wantonly destroyed

by the Germans. But many people in neutral countries end even occasionally poorly informed Americans still doubt this. The Germans must appreciate the value for propaganda purposes of permitting a single ship on which the eyes of the world are turned, to escape destruction in the submarine zone.

Norris compromise was adopted by the committee by a vote of 8 to 3. Those opposed to the Norris amend
