COUNCIL OF AMBASSADORS
Government Will Not BE Repre-

Washington, Jan. 1O.-(By A. z. y
Immediate withdrawal of the United
States from further participation in the
council Of ambassadors in Europe was
reported today to have been decided
u .pon. State Department officials de-
clincd to discuss the report, but said
the American Government would not be
represented at the meeting of premiers
next week at which France and Great
Britain will discuss ways and means
for enforcing the terms of the treaty of
Versailles affecting particularly the
conditions in the Ruhr Valley.
Officials of the United States are
known to regard representation on the
council rs the maintenance of an anon
GUS position in view of the failure of
the Senate to ratify the peace treaty.
The council was created largely for two
purp0ses-settlemcn of armistice Ques
tiOns and the consideration of those
questions regarding the treaty itself
which still require treatment. The first
has been practically disposed of, and
both the President and State Depart
.rnt officers are reported to have taken
the position that since the United States
not party to the treaty it no longer
can join in consideration of questions
arising under it.
