GRAVE ERRORS IN TREATY SAYS BRYCE (By Associated Press) LONDON, Nov. 21- Viscount Bryce, speaking on the league of nations, at a dinner recently, asserted that after making all allowances for it, he was bound to say he thought the peace conference had committed very grave errors and was In danger of committing some others. He cited as examples the case of the Tyrol and Transylvania, In which he said, a third of the population taken over by Rumania has certainly no affinity with the Rumanians. He also mentioned the controversy over the Balkan boundaries, and maintained that commissions should have been appointed to examine the line that separated the different peoples and report to the conference. If the nations knew their claims had been fairly considered by competent au thorities, there was a prospect of con tentment and future peace. "If such questions are going to sur vive there Is further need for the league of nations, which alone could deal with them," he declared. "The league of nations appeals to the con science of mankind and It can not be effective unless supported by the public opinion of all that is beet In every country. He said he was afraid there were only two countries. Great Britain and the United States, where the idea had caught hold of the best opinion, and even there it had not got down to the minds of the bulk of the people. The reason, he said, was that they were so much occupied with their own affairs that they took little Interest In foreign affairs, and It was essential that the Importance of this question should be brought home to every voter. He said that a great deal of the proceedings of the conference had been "enshrouded In Impenetrable darkness." What has happened has shown that it was "possible to Induce "nations to acquisence In secret diplomacy to an extent greater than any one would have believed possible."
