London, Jan, 2.—The conference of representatives of the allied nations, which was to begin at Paris on Janu- ary Jan - aly 6, bas • 1 e;en post- poned for 1 week, ow- ing to the 'Cabinet tris ks hr Italy, It is 0Ow ex petted 10 meet on Jaa, Thnue speery13lal peace cone ference may start about February 1st. The British delegation will be head- ed Lloyd 111 B Law b 1 ld r. Boner Y George, and Mr. Balfour, but there will be at- tached' an extensive retinue of ex- perts. The Canadian nadmn mission willP ).teed to Paris in time for this conference and Sir Robert Borden will represent Canada in these important discussions. The questions of the representation of the various countries have not yet been fullysettledand it may be said that the British dominions will receive consideration commensurate with their participation in the war and their status in the family of British nations. Must Speed Up The length of time which will be necessary to bring results at the peace conference is a subject of speculation, but the opinion is daily growing that the world necessities will force a speeding up of the negotiations. So great is the complexity of thee enumerable questions to be dealt with that it is apparent that a final and definite settlement of aloof them would involve a session of at least six months. The economic and political situation in all the belligerent countries forbid that war conditions should prevailed for so long a period of time. It is, therefore conjectured that the conference will lay down the terms of peace on broad, general lines, em- bodying these in a document which will undertake to work out these principles and apply them as required. This would necessitate reconvening the peace congress at a later date or j the calling of a new international con- gress to review and validate the ac- 1 tions of these bodies, but this is not regarded as a disqualification of the plan as under the new world order, which it is hoped will date from the peace conference, there will have to be periodical gatherings of this tea tore. See Further Delay Paris, Jan. 2.—As the time of the opening of the peace conference ap- proaches It is becoming clear that there must be much preliminary work j done and many sectional conferences I held before a general gathering of the' delegates of all the accredited powers about the peace table will become possible.
