could not expect the other delegations

The German meeting with Mr..
Lloyd George was preceded by one
with Carlo Schanzer. the Italian For.

Germans suspend their treaty for thu
life OF the conference. and then, il
the conference failed to safeguard
German interests, they might put 1t
into effect. The Italians predicted
this evening that the Germans would
take that course, but the Germans

three ideas:

the statement OF the signatories that

OF the Allies is not true: and third,
