Official opinion in Berlin relative to
the Entente communication. it is said,
regards it as further evidence that the
Supreme Council is playing politics.
Government officials point out what is
believed here to be seeming con
tradiction in the note, which in its
Introductory sentence refers to the
absence of American ratification and
subsequently mentions the possibility
that the United States may be de-
finitely omitted from the list of ratifv-
ing powers
