Paris, May % Cby the Associated

minor concession all suggestions and
counter proposals by Germany for the
disposition of the Saar basin have
been rejected by the reply of the al

Count Won BroCkdorff- Rantzau's

region, If the plebescite goes against
France.
If, however, the sum agreed upon
is not paid within year from the
sion shall effect payment under in
structions from the league of nations.
This alteration was made in view
of Germany's declaration that 1t was
impossible for her to accumulate a
sufficient sum of gold with which to
pay for the mines in the fifteen years
before the plebisiclte is taken, since
other reperations would constitute
constant drain.
