been received here. ono shows For

counting on having voice in the
league of nations and working for
IAN eventual parliament of peoples.
The other shows Prince D.chnoWsky,
former ambassador to England anu

asked his opinion of the project for
league of nations. His general
impression was that the scheme as
yet. provided little more than a de-
fensive alliance on a diplomatic ha-

able political and geographical posi-

When and how will Germany enter

"UnfStunately that does not de-

a signatory."

that, after all Germany was as duali-
