they would agree to forty-eight-

of them therefore, is equivalent to re-

The report sets forth some of the
concessions from Germany which, ii
says, America would sacrifice. Most of
these are acceptances by Germany of
action already taken by the United
States and which the most ardent ad-
vocate Of the treaty would not suggest
that the United States would recon

however, cannot fail to regret that he
Is descending to rather undignified

peoples. and had come home with just
what was handed to him.
