Some of the Parks newspapers wipe a wistful oye over the ap proaching demise of the Allied military control mission, and still reflect lingering doubts, but it is usually felt that the decisions taken cut short the irritating con troversy which has been going on for several years,

"Rugby, Dec. 13.. Regarding the Koenigsberg for- tifications and definition of war material; this will probably be set- tled before the Inter-Allied con- trol terminates. If an agreement be not reached by then, it is un- derstood that the Council of Ambag-- sadors will be apprised, but will not necessarily, meet. Future In- vestigation would be ordered after majority vote by the Council. Any of four ex-enemy States muy have a member on the commission of investigation, so long as it is not the member's own country that in to be Investigated. A German re- presentative, attached to the com mission for investigation in Ger many will act as a Maison officer between the commission "and the German administrative and fil- tary authorities. The scheme. is to be applicable to the demilitarized. Rhineland zone, and no permanent groups are to be stationed there except by convention between the Governments concerned.
The Geneva decision is general- ly welcomed by the British press. The Times says, "The time has come down when the task of check- ing dangerous dovelopment of German militarism must be left to German publie opinion, enlighten- ed and reassured by freer and closer, intercourse with neigh- bouring nations, to a developing sense of vital common interests among European peoples, "and to a growth of international economic organization. It may be argued that these forces, the general na- ture of which is reflected in the new League Commission of investi- gation, are intangible, and that their operation is incalculable. But they are in fact the only forces that can affectively re- strain the will to war in Germany' or. in any other civilized country."
