ALLIES To GIVE
THEIR REASONS
For Failing to Evacuate the
Cologne Area on Date
Set in Treaty
NOTE TEXT IS WITHHELD
Until 1t Has Time to Reach
Berlin-Sign Note Next
Wednesday
TEXT IS WITHHELD

PARIS, Dec. 27 BY The Asso-
ciated Press ).-The Allied Council
of Ambassadors today agreed upon
the terms of a letter to Germany
announcing that the Cologne area
will not be evacuated on January
10. This was the date stipulated for
the evacuation in the treaty of Ver-
sailles provided Germany had full
filled her obligations unde rthe
treaty.
The text of the letter will probably
not be published until it has had
time to reach Berlin.
The note will be presented by the
five allied ambassadors in Berlin
simultaneously, it is stated, the allies
thus presenting a solid front to Ger
many.
Although the outlines of the note
were drawn today the document
needs some finishing touches, SO IL
was decided that the ambassadors
would not sign it until Wednesday
next. when they will hold another
session.
The fact that the phrasing is seen
to require SO mucn time is taken to
mean that Germany will be given
the reasons why the evacuation Is TO
be postponed instead of merely the
blunt announcement of the allied
decision TO remain in the Cologne
bridgehead.
The ambassadors decided it was
unnecessary to settle definitely now
the question of the possible date oi
the evacuation or to choose between
the French and British viewpoints
fha ad xric Ihf1itx, - 4 4
ing, the British being reported in
clined to favor evacuation after the
receipt of the military missions
complete report. The essential thing
for the moment, it was agreed, was
to notify Germany that the evacua.
ton could not take place on January
10. The question as to what may
properly be done when the final re-
port of the mission is submitted re-
mains open for discussion when the
time comes.
Herr Won Hoesch, the German
ambassador, who saw Jules Cambon
French member OF the Council Of
Ambassadors, before the meeting, Is
understood to have reiterated the
German views as to the bad effect
non-evacuation would have on the
NeTIHdH uOiHeStlc pOlltlcal situation
NJ. Cambon, who is president of the
council. replied that he took note Of
the observations but was unable to
give any assurances as to the deei-
sions of the council, since the ques.
ton was not one of domestic politics
alone but of security to the Allies as
provided for in the treaty of Yer.
sailles.
The ambassadors decided that the
note which will be finally passed
upon at another meeting Wednesday
shall be presented collectively BY
the ambassadors of France, Great
Britain, Italy, Japan and Belgium
so as to make it clear to the German
government that there are M
breaches in the Allied front on the
question of disarmament.
