12 ISLE OF PINES CASE NEXTUPINSENATE Controversy of 20 Years’ Standing to » Follow Muscle Shoals. From the Muscle Shoals contro- versy, the Senate will turn to one of ev, longer standing—the treaty by which thé United States would for- mally acknowledge Cuban sovereign- ty of the Isle-of Pines. The treaty has been before the Senate more than 20 years. It grew out of the Spanish war-time agree- ment whereby the United States got the Guantanamo naval base and no consideration to relinguish all claims to the little island which lies to the southward of the western tip of Cuba.

Py the Associated Press. BERLIN, December 12—The Ger- man foreign office today expressed disbelief that the interallled milgary | commission would report unfavorably on armament conditions in Germany, as claimed by the French correspond- ents. The office insists it does not know of any sericus fallures to carry out the disarmament provisions of the Versailles treaty. Failure of the allies to evacuate the Cologne area January 10 under | N\ the terms of the treaty of Versailles would be a blow against the policy |R of fulfillment of treaty obligations, a foreign office spokesman said. Germany, it was indicated, is not unwilling to negotiate over a possible postponement of the evacuation date, but would deeply resent a mere de- cision by the allies without their [N consulting Germany. The effect of such a decision would be disastrous for the whole internal security of Germany, it was declared. v The government argues that under the treaty of Versailles Germany might be said to have had 99 per cent of obligations and 1 per centof rights, and to fail to give her the small per. centage coming to her, as represented | in part by the Cologne evacuation, would set up an intolerable condition.
