to be strongly in favor Of having all

tainly be admitted, but Turkey is
still Objectionable because of the de-

ACCEPTANCE Of Germany.
However, no one is ready to assume
because of the hostile and almost i'm
pertinent tenor OF the sentiments ex-
pressed by Walter Sfmons. the Ger
man minister OF foreign affairs.
George N Barnes. the British labor
delegate, has openly expressed a de-
sire to see Germany enter. Although
opinion and that Of British labor, It is
supposed to reflect al
most exactly the British point Of view
as whole. The question seems to be
Germany shall be required
to give guarantees that she will full
fill. the terms Of the treaty of ver-
sailles before she is permitted to en-
ter. Those who do not have much to
recover from Germany-and these are
in the majority-favor the admission
OF Germany, considering the fulfill
ment OF the treaty as {. separate propl
psition. But the treaty provides Tor
this contingency, stating clearly that
guarantees are necessary. Hence an
Of the league covenant will
also be necessary.
On the other hand, 1t is uncertain.
even IF finally world opinion did not
prevent admission, whether France
would not efrectually oppose that un-
less Germany proved her good faith.
It is considered unlikely that Ger
