EVENING PUBLIC LEDGER PHILADELPHIA,, EfelDAT, DEOEMBER 26, 101k I: Ih P. R r-i ENVOYS TODI scuss ENFORCING TREATY Allies and Germans Will Begin Conferences In Paris Early Next Week FINAL RATIFICATION SOON By tlic Associated Press Paris, Dec. 20. Conference will I" irfn here early next week between allied and German delegates on measure? pre paratorv to ptittins the peace treaty into effect, It was announced today. The sessions will be held under the presidency nf General I-eroud. a mem ber of the French delation. Herr von Simon will head the Ger man delegation. British and Italian delegates will arrive here Monday to have part In the deliberations. The supreme council did not hold n session today, but announced a meetlnf? for tomorrow. The final date of the repeatedly post poned exchange of ratifications of the treaty depends upon the speed with which the allied missions in Oermnnv can verifv the German figures of avail able floating dock tonnage demanded bv tho Allies ns compensation for the ink Inu of the German warships at Senpa Flow, the Associated Press was In formed jesterdny at the headquarter nf the German peace delegation. Baron von I.ersner, head nf the Ger man representatives, said he thought this would take at least a fortnight. If not longer, in view of the difficulties of transportation in Germany, and the de tail involved in erif.ving the figures. "A decided misunderstanding is re flected in the Paris press during the last two days regarding my projected trip to Berlin, which I subsequently abandoned," he said. "My object was to hurry, rather than delay, the putting of the Versailles treaty into effect. "I thought a trip m Ucrllu and a verbal explanation of the situation to the government would facilitate mat ters. The inference by the French papers that the German Government 'wanted to delay the exchange of ratifi cations Is absolutely unfounded. We want nothing moie than effective res toration of peace." Baron von I.crsncr said that, accord ing to the verbal communication of M. Dutasta at the time of the delivery of the note, the Entente made a diminu tion In the port tonnage demanded, con ditional upon verification of German 'h claim that the Entente estimates of the harbor material available were erro neous. "I want to say in this connection," he continued, "that the statements in the French press that we were disloyal and gave out wrong figries on this ton nage are absolutely " ifouuded. This the investigation would proe. I prom ised M. Dutasta to a.k my government to give all facilities for such investiga tion and have no doubt that they will be accorded at once."
