Belgium Calls for Better Drafting of Germany Peace Treaty
At the Paris peace conference session M Speak, the Belgian delegate, urged a new drafting method for the Germany treaty, arguing current Big Four driven drafts prevent small states from initiative. He warned that this fosters reprisals and impedes broad agreement. Manuilsky defended Yugoslavia’s Trieste stance, while other delegates pressed for democratic footing and free access to Trieste with opposition to colonial-style impositions. The council plans to meet in New York, with the Big Four expected to reconvene to finalize details before next Monday.
