GERMANS DESIRE
EQUALITY IN
WORLD LEAGUE
Willing to Make Sacrifices
To Gain Admittance

Berlin, Thursday, May 29-(By the
A. Po-Germany is willing to agree
to the proposed stipulations regard
ing her military, aerial and naval
forces contained in the draft of the
peace treaty, provided that she is per-
mitted to enter the league of nations.
on an equal footing Immediately upon
the signing of peace, and particularly
that she be permitted to share in the
complete equality and reciprocity of
all nations in the economic domain.
This declaration is contained in the
second section OF the German men,
orandum embodying the counter pro-
posals to the peace terms At the
same time, it is declared, the Ger
man delegation holds to it's idea of
the superiority of it's own draft of
proposals for League of Nations.
While the German government. in
agreeing to accept the stipulation re-
ferred to, is thus ready to disarm be-
fore the other powers, the memoran-
dunn adds, the government must, on
the other hand, demand transitional
period during which it may keep the
troops necessary for the maintenance
of internal order
"The covering note," presented to
the peace conference by the German
delegation says:
1--WE came to Versailles expecting to
receive peace proposal framed ac-
cording to the agreed basis. We had
a firm resolve to do everything in our
power to have obligations assumed by
us. We were shocked when we read
in that document, the demands which
the victorious might of our opponents
had set forth. The more we studied
the spirit of the treaty, the more we
were convinced of the impossibility OF
carrying it out. The demands in this
treaty go beyond the strength of the
German people,"

PROVIDED FOR
Text Includes Preamble And Four
teen Parts. Including League
Covenant.
(By The Associated Press)

Paris, May 30.--A summary of the
skeleton of the Austrian treaty sub
mitted to the smaller nations Thurs
day for examination is remarkable
chiefly for it's omissions and reserva-
tions. Subject heading after subject
heading is followed either by non
committal display of blank paper, re-
sembling a censored French news
paper discussion" of the controver-
sal part of the days diplomatic de-
velopments, or by the statement:
This clause reserved"
This applies particularly to defini-
ton of the southern frontier, the re-
parations clauses and the question of
Italian rights under the political
clauses. The greater part of the sum-
mary in fact, is devoted to those
clauses which are practically identi-
cal with the German treaty.
The new clauses are chiefly these
dealing with frontiers, finance and
the international affairs of the new
states and of Austria itself. Under
the latter heading come the disputed
provises for the protection of racial
minorities in the new states against
which, it is understood the representa-
Itives of the new states may address
a protest to the council of four and
ask for revision of the financial
clauses, particularly that part requir-
ling the new states to compensate
Austria for public property.
Protect Racial Rights. .s
Austria also is bound by the treaty
Ito respect the rights and privileges
of racial minorities in what is left to
her of her ancient domains. including
the right to use their own languages,
although Austria is expressly author
lied to make the teaching of German
obligatory.
The treaty will consist of a pream-
BILE and Ia parts. the preamble and
section one embodying the covenant
of the league of nations, as in the
treaty with Germany.
Part two deals with frontiers. That
with Czecho- Slovakia follows prac-
tically the old Bohemian frontier, al
though with the reservation of a pos
sibility Of making minor changes lat
err Austria retains on the west her
old frontier with Switzerland. the
question of the union of Vorarlberg
with Switzerland having apparently
been dropped despite the plebiscites
already undertaken in that province
and Switzerland. The southern from
tier is not determined in the treaty.
No Reference to tally.
Part three contains political claus
es. including also some of the reserv-
ed geographical provisos, the clauses
establishing mixed commissions to
determine them later. The sections
referring to Italy are all omitted.

CLAIMS REYNOLDS
ATTEMPTED TO
CORRUPT SYSTEM
Carlton Charges Gable Man
ager Wanted Government
Operation to Fail.

Washington, May 30.-Charges by
NeWcomb Carlton, president of the
Western Union Telegraph company,
that Edward Reynolds, formerly gem
eral manager of the Postal Telegraph
Cable company, had attempted to make
government operation of the tele-
graph system failure, and an al
ternate defense of and attack upon
Postmaster General Burleson, were
features of todays hearing before the
senate commerce committee on leg
islation for return of the telephone
and telegraph properties.
Mr.. Carlton told the committee that
Mr.. Reynolds, at the request of Mr..
Burleson, worked out a plan for CO.
ordination of the wires, but at the
same time sent letters to officials OF
the Postal company asking them to
make government operation a fail
ure." Mr.. Reynolds subsequently was
relieved of his duties as general man
ager, by the postmaster general
Operation OF the wire systems I'M
der direction of Mr.. Burleson was
defended by Mr.. Carlton, who declared
the postmaster general had no more
to DO with the deterioration of the
telephone and telegraph service than
did members of the senate committee.
A super-man, he said, could not have
prevented deterioration. 1t was a re-
suit of natural conditions"
A directly opposite view was ex-
pressed by Mr.. Reynolds, who took the
stand at his own request. Mr.. Rey-
nolds declared some of the declara-
tions of Mr.. Carlton concerning re-
lations between the Postal company
and Mr.. Burleson were wholly I'M
true and charged that under gov
eminent operation the Postal COM
pany was being robbed Of money and
deliberately jobbed.'
