VA/# 823 Wast CarraU Straat in i - c THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS That there is a serious consideriion of a proposition to admit Gerany to the League of Nations, pro/ided, of course, the delegation sign le peace terms, is the sense of all the te reports from France. The Associated Press correspondit at Paris sums up the situation i follows: The movement to admit Germany i the league of nations is due mainly > the desire to avoid the possibility r the formation of another group >mpo8ed of rival powers, which emrace Germany,Russia and the old eutonic group. Evidences have reached the con'rence leaders of late that influences e at work in Germany and Rusia to itublish relations as a basis for a >mbination of powers not in the ague. While not regarded as iminent, it was felt that the danger of ich combination would be always resent while Germany was outside te league, and the admission to Gerany, therefore was recommended as means of subjecting her to the same (ligations as the allies under the ague of nations. 'i his sentiment was chiefly instruental in the unanir as decision of ritish, French American and Italian embers of the league committee incoming the conditions on which crmany may be admitted. One of io chief authorities said today: "We can deal with Germany hetr when inside the league. Outdo she would bo able to go her own ay; inside she must, conform to the me obligations as the allies." 'The covanant originally fores: L'lmany's. admission on giving "efctive guarantees of her sincere inntion to observe international obliitions." The recoinmendatians now limited to the council of four define ese eective guarantees, namely, the tablishment of a stable government, e signing of the peace treaty and yally executing the terms of the eaty. T he league covenant also made it inditicnal of Germany's entrance at she accept the league restrictions military and navy armaments. It us proposed to define this by specific tolition of compulsory military serve. >1. C'eniencau objected, however, i the ground that such specification ight bring up the whole question of nipulsory service. It was onnnitted oin the recommendations presented the council of four. The council spent the day in examine this and other committee rents. Indications were that the rey to the Germans would be ready (fore the end of the week, p'obaly riday, when five days wll be given r Germany's final answer with reect to signing.
