HARDING NOTE
Hugo SHINES Said to be
Whetting His Knife For
Simon's Scalp
Rv The ASsncinred Press !

BERLIN, April 23.-Members Of
the various parties in the Reichstag
who up 10 the present have not been
actively taken into the governments
condolences with respect 10 the Ger
man American negotiations, have
contented themselves with specula-
tion on the length of time foreign
minister Simons is likely TO remain
in office They are marking time
while the cabinet, behind a thick veil
Of secrecy, il declared to be making
a hectic attempt to reach a formula
which will enable it to transmit pre-
sentable counter proposale to Wash
ington tonight.
Berlin's appraisal Of the appeal to
President Harding, which was follow
cd six hours later by the reply from
Washington, not only found the gen
eral public unprepared, but came AS
a surprise to the Reichstag parties
who view the action a. a stolen
march"
Now that the step has been taken
and the cabinet is pledged 10 present
counter proposals to the United
States, the three coalition parties, as
well as the nationalists and majority
socialists say they do not propose TO
deliberately embarrass the ministry.
Not only did the cabinets action
come as a bolt out Of a clear sky,
but, in the light Of REVEALING criti-
cism of DR.. Simon's procedure,
would undoubtedly have met with in
Simultaneous opposition in the for
eign relations committee had he
elected to take that baby into into
his confidence.
The bulk Of the present oppOsi-
tion TO the foreign minister emanates
from the rank of the German peoples
party. which is a member Of the pres
ent government bloc. Hugo SHINES
and his followers generally have been
dissatisfied with DR.. Simons since his
return from London and are also OPP
posing him because Of his recent ut
terances in Switzerland.
His unexpected appeal to President
Harding has served TO increase this
feeling and while Herr SHINES party
does not propose 10 force a cabinet
crisis at this time, il i rumored in
Reichstag circles that il will wage
open warfare against the foreign
minister after the counter proposals
are on the way, reardless of their
fate
