Paris. Dec. FL.
The bitter attacks on the secrecy at
tending the Preparations Commission
that is dealing with Germany. which
have been appearing in the French press
recently are beginning to crystallize In
the form OF interpretations which are to
be introduced IN the French Chamber
OF Deputies this week In new effort
to learn Just how much this super
bureau Is costing for the small returns
II has thus far been able to effect. NO
one seems TO know even the salaries
of the commission officials who, as the
Matin says are spending most of their
time discussing how many ROSTERS
should be allowed to travel with hens
when Germany starts indemnifying
French farmers"
The commission now numbers more
than 500 members whose demands Ger
many is paying. without murmur, al
though she protests that she has no
money with which to meet her pre-war
commercial indebtedness az provided by
the peace treaty and has suspended pay
ments until the Preparations Commission
decides whether she win be allowed to
consider them as a part Of the total
reparations sum to be fixed before April
French officials sec In Germany's sup
port of the Preparations Commission only
another effort to defeat the treaty. By
paying the commission these debts she
will be able to point TO startling figures
as proof of her contention that she has
been bied white By allied organizations
and will offer to flood the world markets
with German goods in payment OF her
war obligations
The American members OF the Rep
arations Commission have adopted the
role of unofficial observers" but IL Is
known that they have protested against
the constantly increasing expenditures
by their colleagues in work which logi-
caliy calls for the closest economies.
The French have reduced their demands
20 per cent in the last three months,
but the British and italian members re-
fuse to follow this example. Instead,
the French complain. the other nations
have increased their official strengths
by sending special investigators into
every corner OF Germany on tours which
are really nothing more than 10y rides
for political pensioners whose presence
is not wanted either in London or Rome.

Paris, Dec. FL.
Reports Of impressions drawn from
the French attitude at the submarine
cable conference held recently seem to
be causing great concern here. While
the French and the Japanese found
their interests identical regarding GER
tain points relative to the one time Ger
man submarine cables, the strongest
denial was given here of reports that
France and Japan had made common
cause as the result of previous under
standing.
Regarding reports said TO have been
circulated in the United States that. as
a part Of the agreement to stand to-
gether for the retention OF the cables.
Japan would receive French support for
taking the Eastern Siberian railroad,
this il was authoritatively declared,
could be put down as an absolute fam
tasy being directly contrary to the
policy France has followed regarding
Japan.
At a time when France is striving
for closest relations with the United
States, the danger such reports coulu
do the French cause in America is fully
realized here. and the reports are at
tributed TO the persistent work OF anti
French propagandists.
One fact stressed here in refutation
of these reports Is that France accepted
the provisional arrangement, which was
EAR from what she had contended for
at the beginning to demonstrate her
extreme spirit OF Cancellation.
The explanation here is that the cables
we're cut by the French navy and that
they could be considered as legitimate
war prizes, and when the Americans de-
landed the restoration OF the cables to
their former state, the French proposed
Joint proprietorship and exploitation.
1t was when the Americans rejected
this offer that the French accepted the
provisional arrangement for division
Of the cable profits among all five of
the Powers, although 1t was pointed
out that this meant that Powers like
Italy, whose navy played no part in
the work Of cutting the German cables
and who has been under no expense in
connection with them. will share equally
n the profits derived from the opera
ton of the cables.
1t Is because the French Government
sees in all this an evidence of a con-
ciiatory spirit on the part of France,
that 1t resents reports II had an agree
ment with Japan in its dispute over the
cable question with the United States.
