The Government has requested the League of Nations to consider <ihe measures necessary in the Saar alter the plebiscite thus avoiding prolonged delay between the plebiscite and the Installation of the new regime ensuring the security of voters. France declares that in the event of the Saar uniting with France al the inhabitants will have equal legal and political rights, without distinction of language, race or religion and points out that in the event of return * to Germany the latter will be obliged to repurchase the mines, paying in gold. , France is not prepared to abandon her claim and suggests a preliminary agreement on the price. If the vote maintains the status quo, France will be willing to hand to the Saar a large part of the mines, but requests recognition of the principle of a covering payment on account of private French claims in the event of the Saar returning to Germany.
