The draft Treaty, of which an official summary was supplied
to the Press, concerns the five great Allied Powers and the twenty- two smaller Allies on the one part and Germany on the other. It begins with the Covenant of the League of Nations ; Germany is required to accept the constitution of the League, to which she may be admitted hereafter when she has shown signs of repent- ance and given proof of a desire to be a good European. Germany is then asked to recognize the new States of Poland and of the Czecho-Slovaks, to admit the independence of German Austria, to agree beforehand to the recognition of any other new States which the Allies may create, and to regard as null and void the Brest-Litovsk Treaty and all other agreements which she had made with any part of Russia since the Bolsheviks came into power. The Allied resettlement of Europe will, in fact, be binding upon Germany.
