SPIRIT Of PASSIVE
RESISTANCE SHOWN
BELIEVED GERMANY PLANS TO
TEST ALLIED POWERS
At SPA MEET.
The Probability Of Reaching an
Agreement Upon the Total Sum Of
Reparations Germany 10 to Pay
Appears Slight

Spa. Belgium.-The allied and Ger
man prime ministers are here to meet
each other for direct negotiations for
the first time since the Versailles
treaty was signed. The probability
of reaching an agreement on the total
sum Of PREPARATIONS Germany Is to pay
appears slight. The allied premiers
will communicate their collective de-
cisIons to KOnstantin Fehrenbach. the
German chancellor. He and his as
sociates affirm they are prepared to
refuse demands which they consider
beyond Germany's strength to meet.
Herr Fehrenbach said Sunday that
he had nothing to add to his contem-
plated declarations to the German
parliament until after he had met the
allied ministers. Germany's resources
and capacity to pay. he declared, were
set forth in the memorandum given to
each Of the principal allied govern
ments. The conviction of the Ger
man delegation as derived from an
other German source Is that, taking
the minimum unofficial reports of the
equivalent of $4,000. 100000 with in
terest, Germany will not agree to pay
even half the lowest sum.
The allied prime ministers. the cor
respondents is informed, have doubts
themselves Of Germany engaging at
this conference to pay anything like
what the allies must insist upon. Nor
can the prime ministers reduce, in
the present state of opinions of their
own parlaments and peoples, the high
figures arrived at tentatively. Each
side will feel the other out on this
question without a reasonable pro-
spect Of agreeing, but with the view
Of being in position to renew the
discussion at another conference.
Conclusions, reasonably satisfactory,
on every other important question
! may be reached, sufficient In them
selves to make the conference we'll
worth while. The spirit of both sides
does not promise much for compro-
mise of the allied ministers deter
minatiOn to impose their will. The
other side Is expected to remain pass
lively resistant until 1t tests what fur.
ther means Of pressure the allies can
apply.
