SAYS RECIPROCITY SHOULD
 GOVERN OIL EXPoRTATIoS

Washington, Feb. 13.-The president should be given authority to lay em- bargoes on the exportation of oil to coun- tries which refuse to allow American citizens to own and acquire oil lands in such foreign countries.

PREPARATIONS STATEMENT BY
 GERMAN FOREIGN MINISTER

Stuttgart Feb. 13.-(By the A. PD- Dr Simons, the German foreign minister speaking here today, declared that a closer examination of the Paris proposals only confirmed the judgment he had al- ready prnounced in the reichstag. Aud ing to the speeches of MT. Lloyd George M. Briand and Count Sforza. he deblcred that none of them even tried to show how Germany could pay. the enormous annui- ties of six billions in gold, but mer,Iy advanced fantastic and baseiess figures concerning the magnitude of German ex- ports.
 The German counter-proposals. said the minister would show that Germany was taking her obligations seriously and would take pains to make prooc sals Which, though unadorned with fantastic figures, would have the advantage of be- Ing practicable and meeting the most argent requirements of tse allied coun- tres.
 The main defect in the Paris proposals. Dr. Simons c-ntended. lay in considering the problem too much as one of finance and too little as one of production, and il complete neglect to investigate the effect on the worlds production of the financial performances required of Ger many.
 In this conn ection he severely criticized tine proposed duty on German exports. Daolraing that France and Belgium must not continue to refuse Germany X technical collaboration in restoring the devastated areas, without themselves be- ing able to solve the problem. he said
 "Gremany is offering unselfish assist ance. She wisies neither to found colo nes nor to make public building profits She only does not want to pay enormou: sums fir work she could have carried ou at far smaller cost" l
 In conclusion the foreign minister sait equally d.sadcantageous was the absence of American representation in the settle nsnt of the reparations problem. ant added:
 If our opponents expect an enor1nou increase in German exports thy should he anxious to direct German industry to wards the eastern markets. instead o towards their own whereas. it Woult appear in this respect also they are pur suing a policy of strangulation vident ly by the frustration of German econ oH1ic negotiations with eastern states The problem can only be taken in han efficiently if, instead of ideas of punish nent and competition. ideas of help an solidarity are placed in the forefront"
