unalterably opposed to the admission
OF Germany to the League of Nations
at this time, it was stated at the for
eign office today. Some drastic
action" would be the consequence if
the league voted to admit Germany.
it was intimated. The foreign Of
flee said that Great Britain, which
has been inclined to favor German
membership, now had accepted the
French viewpoint, allowing the mat
ter to rest for the present.
Inasmuch as Germany has not ap-
piled for league membership, it is
considered unlikely that there will
be any effort with a promise Of sue
cess to get the assembly at Geneva
to act favorably on the question of
Germany's admission at this time.
The French hold that Germany
must prove her intention to fulfill
the terms of the peace treaty and
live peaceably with her neighbors
before seeking membership. They
coptend that there. has not been
time for them to become convinced
regarding Germany's attitude along
these lines. The possibility of the
admission of Austria, Hungary and
Bulgaria is regarded in a different
light by the French, who have indi-
Gated they arenot opposed to mem
