Allied reply to German objections to original treaty conditions
Versailles dispatch outlines the peace conference's detailed response to German counter proposals. It accepts frontier changes for West Prussia, a plebiscite in upper Silesia, and modifications in finance and waterways. Germans may retain 200000 troops in Italy for now, and a list of war suspects will be provided. Reparation figures are deemed vague and payments stretch into decades. The document stresses payments before other debts and says occupation costs fall to Germany. It notes Germany must be reined and future economic life limited but promises continued food supplies and raw materials under agreed conditions.
