That Germany needs TO join the
League OF Nations for publicity's sake
is the theme OF Count Won Bernstorff
formerly German Ambassador to Wash
ington. in an Article he has written on
the Geneva meeting OF the league.
The leagues power primarily IS q
moral one and OF public opinion" he
writes. "This is its chief weapon.
think we ourselves fail TO realize how
We are shut off from the rest Of the
world. One needs only TO read the for
eign newspapers to see how incompleteiy
and inaccurately the speeches OF our
VI nisters are reported.
who outs de of Germany has read
for themselves the notes that r We
passed between Germany and the Allies?
Though we are not members of the
league still we never obtained as much
publicity for the fight for right and
equity as from notes over the mandate
question and over the Eupen-Malnedy
contro, ersy.
Naturally we should have enjoyed
greater success II German representa-
lives in the assembly could have de-
whole world"
German public op Mon does not wish
that application be made for Germany's
membership in the league, Count Won
Bernstorff admits, but he believes II
would be good stroke to apply for
membership.
Probably n two-thirds majority for
app ication for league membership could
be obtained. VIII Oh would assure us the
WEAPON of publicity" he continues. And
even If the application were rejected, It
would be to our advantage. because the
world would be witness of the viole nee
done to us.
What Of 1t If France opposes?" he
argues. IF we wait for France to grant
us such forum. we must wait until
doomsday. The meeting in Geneva Is
like a cart with the horse hitched both
before and behind An English horse
is trying to draw the cart forward and
French horse is holding 1t back. But
on the who e, English influence seems
to be the stronger. Lord Robert Cecil,
while not attending as a delegate for
England, is a driving force of the ses-
sion.'
To the question Of whether the league
will survive, Count Won Bernstein re-
piled that Germany must hope for its
revision by England and America. II
the league dies Germany must disin-
tegrate. he feels.
Even with the best intentions we
are not able to frlfil the treaty and If
at the end the French Shylock holds TO
his claims we have nothing more to do
than pay with German sol and Co.

Cormick is a good sign. Americas OBJ

this is removed we, too, are served for
the Treaty of Versailles is now no

not an issue for us, but is an acknowl-
edgment Of principle of solidarity in the
interest of all nations Should an Anglo
American revision of the league come to
f,lf lment then | feel positive that Gcr-
man public opinion will approve our

JAPANESE OPPOSE

DEADLOCKED OVER OIL
No Reference to Equal Rights

BY LAURENCE HILLS.

GENEVA. Dec. 12.-Japan has put her
self in opposition to Great Britain's in
depreciation OF the mandate clause OF
the League of Nations covenant and
has taken virtually the same position
as the United States in demanding the
open door In these areas with no special
economic privileges going to the man
datory Power.
This 10 the chief reason for the dead
lock now existing in the supreme coun-
Gil on an issue which involves the world
struggle for oil. and which is finding
its reflection here in the assembly's abb
solute impoter ce to deal with the sub
ject in any regulation way Behind
tightly closed doors these directors OF
the leagues commercial struggle are
scrambling for the wars chief spoils
with Britain showing more and more
her determination to maintain her posi-
ton. league or no league, covenant or
no covenant.
The reason why the assembly is not
lble to take action is because the league
has been absolutely unable to get the
sorm of the contract from the supreme
council, and the reason for that is that
when Great Britain produced the draft
of the contract under which she was to
administer mandate area II contained
absolutely no reference to according
equal rights and opportunities to other
ratars.
The result was a protest from Japan
which antedated Secretary Colbys note,
in which sch has taken even a stronger
position than the United States In In
slsting that Great Britain live UP 10 the
letter and spirit of the mandate clause
of the agreement entered into between
the high contracting parties.
Details of the Japanese contention,
which THE New YORK HERALD CORE
spondent has obtained from highest
sources. show that it rests on the prin-
ciple of equal opportunities for trade
and commerce as much as in the interest
of the native population as to religious
freedom and the prevention of the liquor
traffic, and It's application rests upon
the first paragraph of the mandate
clause
Japan points out that there are five
conditions prescribed as safeguards for

guarantee OF freedof of conscience and
religion; second, the prohibition of
