The secretary is known to be par ticularly gratified that none of the powers has found It necessary to pro pose amendment to the text of the treaty itself in any way, or the at taching to the pact of any supple mentary interpretative document. He has been desirous from the first that the new peace treaty should be as simple and direct in language as It was possible to make it and that it should not be encumbered nor any doubt be cast upon its major purposes by supplementary protocols or explan atory notes. The treaty will be thrown open to adherence by all countries of tha •world after it has been signed by the original group of powers.
