Opponents of the treaty of Yer

prospect. but the conclusion is being
forced upon many of them that Eu-
rope has Just executed A maneuver
that may make impossible a separate
peace between Germany and the
United States and compel the ratifica :
ton of the treaty Of Versailles by
Pres ident Harding and the republican
Senate
This does not mean that Mr.. Hard
ing Will have to swallow the league
Of ma ,lOnS. but dp.S mean -.re
from the viewpoint of international
law and treaty precedentS, the next
administration would be in a far more
advantageous post on if it ratified the
treaty of Versailles with reserva-
tions. eliminating the league of ma

The reparations question as it has

European countries without formal
comment or action
Germany'x Technical Rights.
Now. however. without waiting for
the United States to ratify the treaty,
Europe has proposed a reparation set
tlement. in the making of which the
United States took no part. Tech
nically, indeed, Germany would have
legal right to refuse to accept the
allied proposal on the ground that it
did not conform to the provisions of
the peace treaty itself, which vested
the control of the entire subject Of
reparations in a commission in which
the United States was specifically
given representation.
Germany knows full we'll that if the
United States had a representative on
the reparations commission, the pro-
posal of fifty six billion dollars of in
demnity would never have been sane
toned and would not be if it were
ever laid before the United States
government. either under democratic
or republican administration. More
over the United States would have
something to say about the II per
cent export tax which many tariff ex-
Derts believe would operate against
the interest of the trade of the United
States
Talk of u. =. Protest Note.
However. the allies have taken the
initiative and the question has arisen
whether it would not be proper for
the Department of States to file a
diplomatic note taking exception to
the allied proposal and paving the
way for future safeguarding of
American rights in case the repub-
lican administration wished to raise
this issue. Should the United States
make no protest. the allies will con-
slider that this government has con-
scented, since in diplomacy silence
gives consent In that event, the
American government will be in the
