By the Associated Press.


LONDON, January eO.-Reports
from Berlin that the British and
French representatives have arrived
at a new basis for negotiating the
reparations question are untrue, Brit

that the allied "lump-sum" policy
for reparations remains in force, but
that plan for five annual payments
is being discussed in order to obtain
a partial payment Immediately.
The allies will reserve the right
to present Germany's total indemnity
bill at any time, and it is declared
that there is no likelihood of a COM
promise on other sections of the
treaty, such as German retention Of
Upper Silesia or reduction in the
army as award to Germany, even II
the annual payment plan is adopted.
