PARIS, April 21. (By Associated!
Press.) The council of four of the
peace conference. In the Interval be
fore the peace treaty Is handed to the
Oorman delegates, will take up the
question of maklne tho document
public. " Uay Stannard Baker, repre
senting the American delegation. In
agreement with the press advisers to
the delegation of other countries,
has recommended to the council the
publication of the treaty immediately
aftor Its delivery to tho Germans.
Otherwise, it i pointed out, the tint
version of the Important provisions
of the treaty would be Issued by the
Germans and might be loaded up
with with German propaganda.
' The plan proposed on behalf of the
United States Is for the American
delegates to cable for simultaneous
distribution bn the American conti
nent first' a 250-word official sum
mary of the treaty; second a 5000
word official summary, and third, the
text of the treaty. 'The two summar
ies would be given to the American
press at about the same time and the
treaty a day or two later, the text
possibly to be distributed by install
ments as It was received..
v - League Text cm Hand ;
"The .text of the covenant of the
League of Nations, has already, been
telegraphed to the state department
at Washington for release when auth
orized by President -Wilson. Other
parts of the treaty are likely to be
cabled during the present week. The
final dispatch, which may count up
to nearly 100.000 words. can e
cabled In four or five hours if all the
cable lines are cleared for the pur
pose. 'The capacity of tho cables Is
600,000 words a day, and the associ
ated governments could order tne
text of tho peace treaty given firtt
official priority so that the enormous
task of transmission could be accom
plished with less delay than- a press
message ordinarily sustains.
On the day the pet.ee treaty is
signed the American correspondents
will have their telephones in the
Louis XIV bathroom in the Versailles
palace. ' The entrance will be by a
secret door not 20 yards from the
peace table into a little corridor and
thence down a few steps into the
marble bathroom which is sufficient
ly large, for the installation ot five,
or six te'ephones and one telegraph
Instrument. '
Versailles. - Berlin advices say these
men will have the power merely to
receive the peace, terms and take
them to Berlin. The German cabinet
will then either accept or reject the
terms, tt is said, or submit them to
the people. :
' Bolshevlkl Retreat Grows , -
Dispatches from Paris, however,
reflect a rather positive attitude on
the port of the peace conference,
which it Is said, will inform Germany
that the men she sends to Versailles
must have power to sign the treaty
ot peace. It Is said that the first
act ot the meeting to be hold April
25 will be to demand evidence from
the Germans that they possess such
powers. . " '
