POWERS AND LIBERATED
STATES CONFERR|NG
Territorial Limits and Rights Of
Language and Religious
Hinorities Up.

PARIS, June IS (by the Associated
Press).-The proposal that the hve
great powers undertake to guarantee
the territorial limits of liberated
states in eastern Europe as estab-
lished by the peace treaties in return
for the acceptance by the latter OF
stipuIations protecting the rights OF
racial language and religious mfnofi-
ties has, 1t IL understood, been sub
mitted to the interested states by the
council Of four. The guarantee would
be Independent of general provisos
for the maintenance of the territorial
status quo in article ten Of the cove
nant of the league of nations. and
provide the definite security which
some European skeptics do not expect
from the workings of the league.
The proposal contemplates the ne
gotiation of a series of independent
conventions containing guarantees
with each Of the smaller states rank
ing with treaties covering the pro-
lection of minorities.
In the case of Poland. this matter
il provided for in article SO of the
are contemplated for insertion In the
Austrian and Hungarian treaties on
behalf of eastern European states.
The Polish proviso slipped through
without OBJECTION when the outline OF
the German treaty was read and ap-
proved. and was unchanged at the
secret plenary session Of the peace
conference on the eve Of the presenta-
ton of the treaty. Representatives
Of interested states, however. were
prepared when the Austrian treaty
came before the plenary session and
objected strenuously to correspond
ing clauses being included in that
convention. This objection has been
one of the principal causes for the
postponement of the presentation OF
the entire treaty to the Austrians,
the clauses in question being elimi-
mated from the first installment Of the
pact. Small states are as yet unwil-
ling to accept the clauses. even when
coupled with guarantees OF terri
torial integrity.
