Germany, it must be remembered, bad previously and unqualifiedly ac- oopted the terms of the Cannes Con- ference as a preliminary to being @Slven a place of equality with the other nations at the Conference in Genoa.

Such an agreement he argues was forced be- cause the other powers were seeking to make an arrangement with Rus- sia 'without having consulted Ger many on the matter. He also ad- vances the argument that Gérmany's attitude was consistent, because have ing recognized the principle that Russia should pay her debts, Ger- many was entitled to consider that point in the light of any proposi- tion to renounce her claims it Russia would do the same.
