KILOGRAMS.
II. CROIX STATION.

London, April 28th.-The Premier
declared IN the House Of Commons to-
day that the Govt. was committed 10
action so far as the Westphalian coal
fields were concerned if the German
reparations proposals We're unsatisfac-
tory. He added: 1T is not for me to
say whether another opportunity will
be given Germany Or not. They are be-
ing examined very carefully with the
other proposals t this moment by the
finance experts of all the Allies Whc are
in London. therefore / would be very
sorry to express a definite opinion, but |
am afraid there is general u%nanimity as
to the complete adequacy OF the pro-
DrOsals made by the German Govt. The
premier said that detailed plans for the
~Occupati0n of the We8tphalian coal fields
were being examined by the conference
Of Allied experts, and that the reports
of these experts would be laid before
the i~nter-allied conference to be held on
Saturday. MI. Lloyd George added,
that he doubted whether a decision by
the Supreme Council would be taken BE-
fore Monday or Tuesday next week.
Dissatisfaction with the German repara-
tions proposals was expressed by London
newspapers today. There was a unani-
NOUS expression Of opinion that the
German terms were insufficient and that
they must be alterej before the Allies
could renew discussions with the Ber-
lin Govt. The German proposals ere
too ague and do net go far enough"
declared lthe Morning POST. They
must have a moe concrete character
before the allies can negotiate with

however expresses the opinion that Ger

ted States for the reason that it is most
probable American standard of reparation
are mostly different from those of Berlin.
The Telegraph also demands sub
sjantial changes in the German terms.
Technically" the newspaper says,
Germany has no right, to make offers
at all. Her duty is to pi Y her debts. Ger
many has proposed that she will take
over the Allied debt to the United States.
II she can send money to America she
can send it to France, Great Britain,
Belgium and Italy. We prefer to deal
directly with our creditors. Germany
is NOT impoverished, and if her citizens
are taxed as are the residents of Allied
countries, she will be perfectly able to
pay. The Daily Mail" in its com
ment took a similar view. Throughout
editorials printed today belief was ex-
pressed that there an absence of good
faith in Germany's terms.
London, April Both. Information has
been received by the French delegation
to The meeting of the Supreme Allied
Council that unofficial United States adj
visors at Bertha are urging members of

terms as laid down in the agreement
reached in Paris last January. In this
agreement the Allies demanded 226, 900,

ton Of a IL per cent export tax on Ger

london, April 30th-Mr Lloyd George
and NJ BRAND held an informal Confer

Count Sforva, the Italian Foreign Minis
ter, on his arrival in London. During
their conversation they attempted to
pave the way to a quick discussion at
the formal meeting of the Supreme ALI
ed Council which had been called for
four o'clock this afternoon. 1t was not
expected that the United States would
be represented. 1t was made plain that
Mr.. Lloyd George, who was chosen as
the presiding officer at the Council meet
ing, had not extended an invitation TO
Mr.. Harding Ssto instruct any attache of
the United States Embassy, or any other
representative, to participate in the days

Washington, April 29th. THE Govt
still is hopeful that the reparations con-
troversy between Germany and the ALI
es can be settled by discussion. This
was learned authOritively tonight after
the whole situation had been discussed
by the President and the Cabinet, and
Mr. Hughes had conferred with Mr..
Jul S Jusserand the French Ambassador
and SIgnor Ricci the Italian Ambassador.
Upon what administration officials based
their hopefulneSs was not disclosed, as
they continued to MAINTAIN absolute ST.
lence as to the character Of the informal
ex change with the Allied Govt, and as to
the views of the United States on the
proposals. 1t became known, no 7ever,
that neither Great Britain nor Italy final
ly rejected as a basis for possible discus
sion the German offer. France and Bel
GUM were understood to hold that pro-
posals as such were unacceptable, but
apparently their informal replies to Mr..
Hughes were of such a character as to
caI5e officials here to believe that the
door had not been closed for further con-
sideratiOn of a settlement by discussion
The impr ession gained ground here to-
mig t that the next formal move in the
controversy would await the out
come tot the meeting in London to-
morrow OF the Allied Supeeme CounciI,
1t was made known officially that
the United States had not commu-
nicated to Germany any request for a
modification Of the proposals, and that
Germany had not approached the United
States Govt with any offer of m0difica-
ton. The situation with wi ich the Uni
ted States is faced in the role in which
it finds Itself, Is recognized as a deli
cate one 1t is emphasized again that
the United States is in no sense acting
as an agent of Germany. that it is act

the war against the common enemy.
The Chief problem in the whole cOntro-
versy, in the views here, is to deter

make her pay that sum. Toe United
States made It's position IN this respect

"The condition or the company's
equipment at the end of Federal con-
troll" said the report, has caused an
unusual outlay for repairs, which are
still under way. 1t will constitute the
basis of a claim against the Director
General of Railroads under the COM
pany's contract with him. which stipu-
lates that it's property sshould be re-
turned at the end of Federal control In
substantially as good repair and In sub
stantially as complete equipment as on

accounts with Tse Administration for
the period OF Federal control has not
been effected. but the company is ac-
lively engaged in the preparation OF the
data necessary for use in making such
a settlement. The settlement with the
Government for the guaranty period
six months, March to August, 1920-in
connection with the guaranty provision
of the transportation act, is progressing.

gave its per cent demand note for

to way and structures on the New York

Rapid rise in the American favorable

gan In midsummer of last year. brought
imports down to S19s. 100000 in June.

crease, rising in July, 1919, from S345.-
100000 to S552, 100000 in July. 1920
Thereafter down to the present month
there has been a gradual reduction In
imports.
Officials of the department said, how
ever, that the figures reflected change
in values, which began to be marked by
recessions last fall and has continued
monthly, although the quantity hgures
disclose also that there has been an
actual falling Off on the import and the
export sides Of the foreign trade ac-
count
Exports dropped from 1851, 100000 In
last July to s340, 100000 in June. The
peak of exports, $751; 100000, for the
fiscal year was reported in December.
