league Of nations, which has been
placed before the Paris peace confer
ence. has evoked sharp criticism in the
German press generally. There are
even demands made by some OF the
newspapers that Germany refuse to
have anything TO do with such a
league. The plan has met with a more
sympathetic reception from professor
Schuecking, vice president Of the Ger

Professor SchueckinE believes. how

be permitted TO join the league stimuli
