CANNOT PAY ALL
Germany Declares Only Part
ReparatiOns Due Raised.
Must Re-enter Money Market If
No Moratorium Granted.

Berlin, Dec. 15.-Dr. Rathenau re-
turned from London without concrete
proposals or promises for either a
loan or moratorium for Germany.
This in effect was the admission made
yesterday by cabinet officials. The
German press warns the public to be
prepared for the worst.
If the moratorium is not granted
the German government, it is stated,
will be compelled to have recourse
to credit operation in order to procure
the necessary funds by means of a
loan.
The German government has in
formed the allied reparations COM
mission that it will be unable to meet
fully the reparations payments due
January Is and February 10, it was
officially announced this afternoon.
The amount of German indemnity
due in January is 50O.OO0.000 gold
marks, or about $3.50, 100000. There
is a second installment due in Feb
ruary.
The German note promises to be the
chief topic of conversation between
Premier BRAND and Premier Lloyd
George when they meet in London
The note proved a veritable bomb
shell to French officia1dom. in view
of the fact that German assura noes
had been given a week ago that the
January indemnity installment would
be met.
Members of the reparations com
mittee refused to make any comment
on the note.
There Is probability of an immediate
conflict between the direct action
ists' or militarists and French con-
servative business interests. The "di-
rect actionists'' claim that the note
opens the way for further military oc-
cupation of Germany by the French.
The business interests favor an in
ternational loan to assist Germany,
which would mean ready cash for
France in a comparatively short time.
