LONDON. March 20. (British
Wireless Service) The league of
nations controversy in the United
States as bearing upon the English
attitude isTthe subject of the follow
ing comment in the London Times:
"The T:nfeish. without - distinct
ion of party, regard a better under
standing with Americans ' as the
crown of victory. It id unfortunata
for the ideal that so many of us on
both sides of the Atlantic have -at
heart that party feeling should be
running so high in Vmerica, and that r
we who are working with President
Wilson in Paris should furnish the
sticks with which the Republicans
are belaboring the Democrats.
Party Controversies Ignored
"We have no wish to take sides in
party controversies and have been
at some pains to avoid even the sus
picion of doing so. Our sole wish is
to work with the American people
In what we believe to be as much
their Ideals, and interests as our
own.
. V Wishing that, with whome we
work but the president of the United

cident to our mind, and if the presi
dent had been a ' Republican wp

pains to understand his point of
view and work with him."

"No views- of settlement were po
clearly identified with this country
as these two were with France and
America. Tho chjef Instrument of
the American point of view was the
league of nations. The ideal is in
one form or another almost as old
as international law, and nearly ev
ery country In the world has at ono
time or another contribuated to It.
but Its application to the problem
of this war came from America in
the first instance. .
"There is therefore no question at
the conference oi our imposing a

done was to seek to reconcile so far
as possible the French and American
views."
". "Our policy at Palis has been that
