It is held, however, in official circles here that 'there is a distinct violation of the Versailles treaty, and it is declared that whatever action the Genou confer ence may take, the Allied powers can not toh'rate the pact. The resources of the allies against the pact is the same as that against otlo r violations of the peace treaty, and the j present case is regrdeil only as aiming lone more to the other cmises of action on the (ierniau question which the Allies will take up immediately after the Genoa ' conference.
