and reports. Whoever is selected, to issue such a communique, should it be
authorized, is as yet undetermined.
Much attention here in regard to plan of League of NationS.

certain details. Privately, many statesmen here intimate that "Smut" plan
might form an excellent basis for a start on the work. American Commissioners,
however, positively refuse to discuss in any way the "Smut" proposal.

of a League of Nations will be established before the Treaty of Peace is signed,

Franco-German frontier, and the fixing of indemnities and reparations
legitimately owed by the enemy. It is declared that France and Great Britian
find themselves in complete accord, regarding the future of Morocco and future
German colonies. all consider Bolshevism as a great international enemy".

how to off-head Bolshevism- increasing in importance daily. Mr. Lansing was

downlay and cease reprisals and accept representation in Peace Conference and
secure tranquillity, in which French denounce bolshevism as unrepresentative of

presented Washington, and suggested that it vas possible that it might have boen
sent only to the Allies, United States excluded.

Peace Preliminaries provided the Allied governments were consenting The Allied
governments will probably exact new conditions for the prolongation of the
Armistice, namely, in what concerns Polanú. Marshal Foch and the German
Plenipotentiaries will probably meet again at Treves on January 15th.
