On the subject of concluding sep- arate treaties without consulting the other powers little is said in Wash ington, for the United States nego- tiated a sefarate treaty with Ger- many and no official has ever dis- closed whether the Allies had any advance copies of it. In fact, the evidence has been all the other way that the treaty was made without the consent of the Ailies, on the theory that Germany and the United States could do as they please. This precedent is cited here to-day as justi- fication for German treaty with Russia, another former member of the Allied group. ‘The burden of thought here is that the Allied powers can find plenty of flaws in the German-Russian treaty, plenty of grounds for charging a vio- lation of the spirit of the Versailles Treaty, and they can at a later day insist that admission of Russia and Germany to the League of Nations cannot be permitted without an agree- ment on the part of Russia or Ger- many to renounce the new treaty. But it is not the later day inter- pretation or use of the Russo-German treaty which is at the bottom of the problem at this time. The officials of the United States ‘Government Whose specific responsibility it is to watch the Genoa proceedings are in- clined to attribute much more im- portance to the) results which the Russo-German agreement will pre- cipitate rather than the substance of the treaty itself.
