NOTE TO GERMANY,
Paris, Dec. 9.
The Supreme. Council's note to Germany was presented tonight. It repudiates Germany's alleged right to demand (as compensation for the absence of the American de- legates in the Commissions until the United States has ratified the Treaty) any modification of the clauses concerning the surrender of criminals and return of war pri- soners. It emphasises that the Treaty operates when Germany and three of the principal Allies have ratified it. The note points out that France has frequently declared ber willingness to liberate war prisoners directly the Treaty is in- forced. The Supreme Council de- clines to recognise objections to the demanded compensation for the Scapa Flow sinkings and the pro- vision of eventual measures for- mulated in the note of 1st Nor, A separate reply is appended regard ing the German note on Scapa Flow. The Allies express willing- ness to equitably examine the Ger- man objections to the Allied selec tions of festing docks, cranes, tiyə and dredgers if it can be shown that the demands are likely to seriously prejudice Germany's capacity to satisfactorily maintain her river navigation or like vital economic interests. Referring to the last paragraph of the protocol (where- under military enforcement for in- fringements of the Treaty is reserv- eby the allies) the note says that signature of the protocol and de. posit of ratifications will determine the operation of the Treaty and the conscquent state of peace which will be guaranteed by the general Treaty stipulations as well as by the ordinary methods recognised by in- ternational law. Until the Treaty operates the Supreme Council re- minds Germany for the last time that denunciation of the armistice f is sufficient to give the Allied armies full titude with a view to the miljury measures they may juder to be necessary. In this spirit we expect signature of the Treaty with out delay and the deposit of ratifica- tion."
