The League of Nations moved to invite Germany to the communications and transit conference in Ravent on March 10, despite the Supreme Council's demand for indemnity payment. Swiss Italian and Spanish delegates paused the motion, but it put Germany on equal footing with other nations in world problem settlements for the first time since the war. Brazil’s Delegate de Cunha noted the invitation was risky due to unresolved transportation issues without Germany's input. Reports say Germany will be invited to all future international conferences, signaling possible full admission to the League.
