Share Presidential Power of
Negotiation.

ARTICLE CONFLICTS
WITH PEACE TREATY
Forbidding German Inter-
ference in Austrian At
fairs - Article 81 of the
German Constitution Con-
flicts With Article 80 of
German Peace Treaty.

Paris, Sept. 2.--The supreme council
of the peace conference decided to-day
TO send note in forcible terms to the
German government pointing out the
contradiction with the Versailles treaty
OF the provision in the new German con-
stitution providing for the representa-
tion of Austria in the German Reich
sath.
The council demands the suppression
of the article within fortnight, declar-
ing that otherwise the allies will be
compelled to undertake further occupa.
tion of the left bank of the Rhine,
The article objected to is article 81 Of
the German constitution as in conflict
with article 80 of the German peace
treaty forbidding German interference
in Austrian affairs.
Article so of the Versailles treaty
reads:
Germany acknowledges and will re-
spect strictly the independence of Aus
tris, within thes frontiers which may be
fixed in a treaty between that state
and the principal allied and associated
powers; she agrees that this indepen-
dence shall be inalienable except with
the consent of the council OF the league
of nations"
The text of the paragraph in the Ger
man constitution referred to has not
been received in this country. It appears
hnWnVar that fhp clauan anntind ~ oil
the territories of German speaking peo-
pies in Europe, and therefore to Ger
man Austria, with the effect OF providing
that Austria might have certain num-
her of representatives in the German par
lament, proportionate to the Austrian
population.
