Question For Decision Before Plebiscite

dial to the" "Hong Kong Daliy

Press" (Copyright.))

Paris, Sept. 6. Barthou's lengthy memorandum concerning the Saar problem ad- dressed to the League of Nations Council says that the committee should prior to the plebiscite de- cide certain fundamental "ques- tions that must inevitably arise as soon as voting has taken place. These matters embrace, 1, the aspects of the plebiscite; 2, the future of the coal mines; und 3, that in the event of the whole or part of the Saar territory being united 'n France all inhabitants irrespective of race, religion and language will be equal, before the law to enjoy full protection of life. and liberty and to enjoy the same political and civil rights as all French subjects.

Barthou's memorandum then urges the League of Nations Coun- cil to determine what would be the form of regime in the event of the plebiscite resulting in the retention for a further period of the exist- ing status of the Saar. In fact says Barthou, it is the League's duty to decide this matter now so that when the voters, go to the olls on January 13 they will have clear idea of what conditions of tairs they would be voting for.

Το safeguard these rights, the French Government desires the creation of a mixed arbitration court to be set up in the Saar for years after the plebiscite.
