League in Fog Again Over League Covenant In Peace Talks
President Wilson wires that the league of nations will be part of the final peace treaty with Germany while Andre Tardieu says it will not figure in the preliminary pact. Officials note the covenant may appear in late treaties, with Japan opposing canal discrimination.
