sterilization of the franc, of French
loan and new German borrowings and
last but not least to the problems of
the Dawes plan, these actually would
tend to settle the question of the new
ascension of Germany as an impor-
tant imperialist power.
This brings back the question of
Union and renews again the whole
game between Great Britain, France
and Germany that had been so sud-
denly broken up at Geneva-but this
time with the direct participation of
the United States.
1T must be noted that since the
breakup of the session of the
League Council Germany was granted
the privilege" of a seat in the
Leagues Mandates Commission and
on her part she submitted to one of
the main demands of Poincare (and
General Foch) with regard to the in
spection of her eastern Notifications
this despite the vociferous protests
of the German Nationalist against
the new humiliation of the fatherland.
However, the seat of the Mandates
Commission does by far not satisfy
the colonial and other imperialist am
billions Of Germany and consequently
would be considered too small a re-
ward for Germany's lineup against
the Soviet Union.
On the other hand, in view of Ger

We are brought in this manner to

The full understanding of the German
imperialist diplomacy at that session
necessitates the explanation of the
new role of Germany in the so-called
concert of powers" that is of the
present position of Germany in the
imperialist world. This will throw
also the necessary light upon the
question why that memorable session
