Allies Expect A Negative Reply To Peace Terms
Berlin reports that Allied and associated powers are seen as highly unlikely to sign the peace terms. Les signatories may be urged to wait for a response from Dr Hans von Himhausen, with Count Von Brockdorff-Rantzau not returning to Versailles amid protests. Analysts deem the terms largely unacceptable and fear Bolshevik spread if signed, while cabinet split in Berlin mirrors broader doubt. Kerr credited with drafting the covering letter to Clemenceau. In Wislar, Ebert’s government appears unable to sign the revised treaty, risking a radical Socialist substitution and a future scrap of paper reversal.
