EACH STATE MAY HAVE TO RATIFY
 TREATY ITSELF

Paris, July Il (By A P.)-Ratifi- cation of the treaty of peace by the German national assembly at Wefmar may be held not to be sufficient, ac- cording to the Petit Parisien. The new German constitution provides that in cases where territory Is ced- ed, the ratification of treaties by states which lose territory is neces- sary, in addition to approval by the central government. Consequently, independent action by Bavaria, for the Sarre Basin, and Prussia, for territory restored to Poland, may be required.
