Answer on Belgian Deporta-

British Official.
DEFENSE HELD HOLLOW

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, December 15.-"The Ger
man answer TO the American govern
ments protest against forced deporta-
tions from Belgium requires very niue
elucidation to show its dishonesty,
said Sir Maurice de Runsen, assistant
parliamentary undersecretary of for
eign affairs. when asked by the Asso-
| ciated Press for the British we" OF
Germany's reply to the American pro-
test. He continued:
THE main contention appears TO De
that owing to the allied blockade Bel
gian workmen have been rendered IDLE
and reduced to starvation. and out OF
kindness. the German authorizes nave
offered these workmen employment IN
Germany. This answer seems TO over
look several essential facts.
'In August, 1915, the American re-
lief commission applied to the aimed
governments for permission TO import
raw materials into Belgium and export
manufactured goods made from these
imports and from local raw materials.
The balance of the receipts between the
cost of the imported raw materials ana
the realized value of the exports was
to be applied to the purchase of food
by the commission. This food was to
be sold in Belgium, and from the re-
ceiptS of such sales manufacturers
We're to be supplied with money to pay
for their labor and local raw material.
Allies Gave Consent.
THE reason advanced by the commits
sion for the proposals at that time
was the appalling growth Of unemploy-
ment. destitution and social demoral-
ization and lack OF funds from abroad
to supply the population with neces-
sary food. The allied governm ent 8
consented to the whole of the relief
commissions proposals.
The plan was presented to the Ger
mans at Brussels in September through
the American minister. and they would
not agree to the very reasonable con-
ditions of the commission that the i'm
ports and exports should be free from
Interference or requisition by the Ger
mans The whole scheme, therefore.
failed, solely on account of the atti-
tude taken up by the German author
tiles.
LAS recently as a month ago the Ger
man authorities refused to allow ex-
ports of manufactured goods made of
certain raw materials in Belgium. such
as glass to be paid for with food i'm
ported by the commission. demanding
the importation of actual money-a
principle in which the allied govern
ments could scarcely acquiesce, in view
of the monstrous monetary levies in
hicted upon the population of Bel
GUM. In consequence, several indus
tries which might have been con-
tinued even without the import of raw
materials have been paralyzed.

Great German ADVANTAGES.

Two great advantages are possessed
by the Germans" said Mr. Bonar Law
"One is their preparedness for war
They have today another advantage
that is. that circumstances are so tha,
the control OF all the resources of on,
enemies are practically in one hand
one OF the drawbacks of our alliance
as of every alliance. is that it is very
dif1cult to get this central control Tc
secure it has been the object of moi
only this government, but of the gov.
ernments of our allies. and great
deal has been done in this direction
during the last year. and particularly
during the last six months.
In my belief success in this war and
the rapidity with which We can bring
1t to victorious conclusion must de-
pend upon the extent upon which the
resources of the allies in men, money
and munitions can be pooled and
thrown into the common cause"
Mr.. Bonar Law said the house would
be occupied with the appropriation bill
on Monday and Tuesday. at which time
any business might be discussed. Being
asked by John Redmond as to the
length of the recess after the proro-
CATION on December %. he replied:
Il have been considering that, but the
premier is ill. and the doctors will not
allow me to see him, so that am not
prepared to answer"
Philip Snowden urged that full day
be given for discussion of the spec ch

By the Associat ted Press.
LONDON, December 15.-'The allies
require that there shall be adequate
| reparation for the past and adequate
security for the future. That Is still
the policy and still the determination
of his majestys government"
This was the declaration of Andrew
Bonar Law, repeating the words of Mr..
Asquith three months ago. as he made
his debut yesterday as the leader of the
new government in the house of COM
mons. 1t was only brief and passing
allusion to the German peace proposal.
but the ringing announcement that it
was still the policy and determination
of the government struck the keynote
of the new governments attitude anu
aroused a prolonged demonstration of
approval
The sessions of both the lords and
commons were attended with unusual
interest as being the first bow of the
new government. though the absence
of Premier Lloyd George through con-
tinued illness left the initial scene of
the new regime like Hamlet without
the Dane.
Great crowds besieged Westminster
for admission, and both chambers show
ed the galleries filled with eager spec
tators and the floors animated with
newly formed political groups. The
house of commons was the scene of
chief interest, as here five ministers of
the late government-Regin Nc

bench of the opposition, while Andrew

of the new administration, occupied
the bench just vacated by the Asquith
ministers across the aisle.

was absent through sickness. but even
with the chief figures absent it was a
striking scene of the old and the new
regimes facing each other at the cru

Measure of British Ability.

That the extent to which England is
able to convert her sterling wealth
into dollars is the real measure of her
ability to continue to meet the wars
demands, was the gist of a brief and
pointed speech in the house Of COM
mons last night by Reginald McKenna,
supporting and supplementing Mr.
Bonar Laws presentation Of Great
britain's financial position.
Mr.. Mckenna opened by congratulating
Mr.. Bonar Law on his speech. thus
showing the entente cordial between
the old and the new governments, and
then continued
we are bound to supply munitions to
the full extent Of our capacity, and we
are bound likewise to meet all the
demands OF our allies so far as we are
able. The extent of our ability to meet
those demands is enormous. but there
Is one restrictfon-namely, that 1t will
not De easy to convert sterling wealth
into dollars wealth. We must pay in
dollars for what we buy now all over
the world. and that is the limit Of our
power to help our allies"
Increase in Expenditure.
Touching on the large increase in the
expenditure during the last two
months, Mr.. McKenna said:
Mr.. Bonar Law mentioned that our
average daily expenditure for the past
sixty-three days reached f5.700.000. but
in that period there were brought into
the account large sums expended in the
United States which ought to have
been brought into the charges Of an
earlier period. l believe that the true
daily expenditure now is about five
and a half millions, therefore we may
hope that the estimate Of Fl. $50. .000. 900
for the fiscal year will not be ex.
ceeded."

Relief Works Suppressed.

'Furthermore. local relief committees
of Luxemburg province, for instance,
have. ever since the initiation of the re-
lief measure. found employment for all
the idle on the public roads and in other
public works But three months ago the
German authorities of the province en-
tirely suppressed these relief works and
forced the people thus thrown out of
work to go to Germany.
Other actions of similar import could
be instanceds sin proof of the holloWness
of the German contention. The professed
kindness of the German government to-
ward the unemployed in Belgium in of
fering them employment in Germany is
shown up In its true colors by the null
tiplicity of authentic details coming out
of Belgium of the cruel severity of the
Germans in seizing Belgian workers
from their homes and families and fore
ing them into cattle trucks for deporta-
ton to Germany, where they are en-
ployed in the German interest
