Privately the Allies had no such ex pectation, (icrman.v took them nt their word and announced that they would send mcssongois tn carry the treaty back to Weimnr. The Pence Conference was thrown into gonstcniution for fear ot what the Weimar assembly and the (!cr nian public would do in regard to the treaty.
