Final Instructions For

SIGNING TO Be DELAYED
into JUNE IS PROSPECT
Three Possibilities Open To
German Diplomats In Con-
nectiOn With Negotiations AT
Versailles.
By Fred s. Ferguson

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent J
Paris May 20.-The German peace
delegation has received its final instrue.

lieyed today. SNwRI
Foreign Minister Broekdorff- Rantzau
returned to Versailles from Spa yes.
terday with a define policy, according
to reliable information. Just what
transpired at the Spa conference is, of
course, a mystery. 1t seemed, however,
certain that the Germans will do one
of three things-sign with as little fuss
as possible; sign after some of the pres
ent delegates have resigned to "save
their faces" or refuse to sign at all.
The general opinion appears to be that
BrOckdorff- Rantzau was told to sign
Most Of the allied delegates are now
beginning to doubt that the German
treaty will be signed before the first
of June. Some even believe it is pos.
sible the ceremony may not take place
before the middle of next month. Brock.
dorff Rantzau is expected to hand in
volltminous counter proposals Thursday,
at the expiration of the time limit for
such action.
In the face of the circumstances in
which the Germans must accept the
terms or place their necks in the moose
of an economic blockade appear violent
objections to the treaty, voiced by
President. Ebert, Chancellor scheide.
mana and the German press, which may
act asa boomerang.
The allies do not show any indication
Of softening the terms in the slightest
degree. Broekdorff Rantzau has not at
tanned the slightest advantage in any Of
the objections he has raised to the
treaty. According TO authoritative in
formation, the reply TO the Germans
objections to the economic clauses Of
the treaty--expected to be published to-
day-will point out that while it is true
Germany has developed from an ssiat-
ian into an industrial country, her in
dustrial products can be exchanged for
agricultural products Of other countries.

By calling for "new organization
of industry" by which workers may
have the opportunity for "genuine
partnership and participation In

ii is held, directly sponsors the slogan
today Of so called liberal, labor and
progressive elements in all countries.
Politicians here saw the deepest sig.
nificance in the president S stand in
connection with the next campaign.
Senators Borah and Kenyon Of the
progressive" group in the senate,
have recently spoken in support of
new and greater consideration Of labor
The president points out that the
change must come largely through vol.
untary and cooperative means between
labor and capital; that Legislation
can get only very little way in com
manding what shall be done. "
Message Is General

ance When Final Vote Is
