The council Instructed Its secretary
to draft note notifying the Germuny
government that the Cologne bride
head will not be evacuated ai stipulat
ed In the treaty January 10.
The allied ambassadors were unani
mously agreed in recognising that
Germany Is rearming and that pro
gressive withdrawal from the Rhine
land must await further Investigation
of the interested governments. There
was a difference of opinion, however,
as to the importance of the treaty
violations and the consequent menace
to the security of rtie allies.
Great Britain seemed inclined to
minimize specific cases of violation
reported by the military control mis
