He read a letter from a German Professor, stating that his country was maddened by the prevailing d;st:e:;s. and was .smarting under a sense- of injustice because the Allies had not fulfilled their Versailles Treaty promises to d sarm. The result is, he says, that the German Government is considering action. Unless tlv.y get assurances at the Conference on Disarmament in February next, they will do something adequate. Germany will leave the League of Nations, and will re-arm the country as quickly as possible. The Professor added that Germany was already negotiating an alliance with Russia. Don.
