Article Not Approved At Paris Society Of Nations Plan
At Paris on February 7 eleven articles of the Society of Nations project were discussed and approved with small modifications. The sole item rejected was the punishment of compulsory military service abolishment unless for defense under extraordinary circumstances. Premier Orlando and Leon Bourgenis argued for a standing French army, while the commission postponed a final decision on coercion methods and left each nation to choose its own forces. The conference outlined changes as Moscow’s acceptance of an invitation to the Princes Jaune conference held interest, with expectations of early consensus on a constitutional framework for the league. The session, led by President Wilson, aimed to complete the plan within days amid talk of secret treaties and pacific negotiations.
