The delay in the completion Of the
peace treaty is receiving much COM
ment at present. Serious conse-
quences are forecast in case of ex-
tended delay. Efforts have been
made to place the responsibility on
one or the other of the countries.
President Wilson denies the charge
that the League of Nations is hold
ing things back, as the work of that
commission was one of the first to
be finished. The attitude of France
