Germane now propose that adhesion should precede
ratification, and twat latter be contingent on adhesion
by all outside Powers above specified. After ratifica-
tion a year's delay for Convention coming into force.
Adhesion and ratification to be for Colonies and outside
possessione also. But if no action taken within two
years from signing of Convention, a freen Conference woulu
be called. Germano admit this proposal is unprecedented,
but argue that some of the matters dealt with are of
world wide importance, and cannot be embarked on by 12
Fowers only. Also that ratification by Reichstag makes
restrictive provisions of Conference pro facto part of
their law, so that Reichstag would not ratify without
cortainty of world-wide adhesion.
he think objection, which has been taken, that
administrative action in one country is equivalent to
legislation in another renders prossing of our amendment
undesirable as against original draft, German proposal
has advantage of accelerating date ut which agreement of
#
outside powers is sought, and if you see no oojection to
novelty
Their date is after signing of Convention.
