PARIS, May 17-Germany's inclu-
sion in the league Of nations appeared
yisibly nearer today when it became
known that allied leaders were con-
sidering her mem bership in the inter-
national labor bureau.
The bureau is an integral part of the
league. The peace treaty specifically
provides that members of the bureau
shall be the present members of the
league OF nations and those who be-
came members later. Although the
Germans probably will not be taken
into the bureau Immediately because
of hostile sentiment in some allied
countries, 1t is believed in many quar-
ters certain she will be included in
both the bureau and league very soon.
When Premier Clemenceau gave out
the reply to the Germans labor note
Wednesday ha later asked that it be
held up until the committee OF al
lied labor could consider another
question" It was too late to prevent
publication, however. Then. when the
committee met again 1t was discov-
cred the question was whether to take
Germany into the bureau at this time.
For the reason given it was decided
to be unfeasible, but it was decided
to submit the findings reached at the
labor council in Washington in Octo-
Der, to the Germans for their view Of
the Germans own declarations. There
