GERMANY INFORMED
MUST PAY ALLIES
Informal Exchanges Made
Between American and
Teutonic Governments

Washington. Paraphrases Of the in
formal exchanges between the Ger
man and American governments re-
garding reparations, in which the
United States holds Germany NOR
ally bound to make reparatiOns. so far
as may be possible, were made pun
lie Monday at the state department.
Describing the German communl-
cation as an "unequivocal expression
of the recognition OF that obligation,
the American reply expresses the nope
that renewed negotiations which Ger
many says 1t plans to initiate may
lead TO prompt settlement Whlch
will. at the same time, satisfy the
Just claims of the allies and permit
Germany hopefully to renew its pro
ductiye activities
cation is the suggestion that the only
solution of the reparation problem is
in an international loan, in favor OF
which the allied and associated pow
ers would waive the general mort
gage on German assets created by the
treaty Of Versailles. In this connec-
ton the German government says, IT
would not be unwilling to assume the
obligation of the interest and the
amortization of the foreign debts OF
the allied and associated powers, with
in the limit OF her capacity"
Germany invites the examination
"by unbiased experts of its own abll
ity to make payment and says she
stands ready TO meet any proposal
which appears feasible for the solu
tion OF the economic and financial
problems of Europe
The American reply makes no rel
erence either to the proposed consoll
dation OF allied debts as German obi
cation or the suggestion for the de
termination by unbiased experts of the
ability of Germany to pay.
Another consideration with regart
to reparations presented by German,
is that Of the rehabilitation of dev
astated regions. The German govern
ment says it stands ready to offel
France good offices and resources il
whatever form is acceptable. 1t as
serts that for the immediate rehablli
tation of the devastated regions it ha
repeatedly proffered labor. technica
advice and material assistance, "bu
that these offers have not been &C
cepted"

PLANNING FOR The
CARE OF VETERANS
Creation of Service Admins
tion for Relief, Chief
of Plans.

Washington. Seven specific recon-
mendatiuns, chief among them the
creation of the veterans service ad-
ministration to take entire charge OF
government relief work among eX-
service men and to be headed by
director general, responsible directly
to the president, were contained in the
report submitted Thursday to Presl-
dent Harding by his special c0mmlS-
sion investigating the care of veter-
ans.
Charles G. Dawes, Chicago, chair
man of the commission, told the presl-
dent that he believed the recommends
tions would prove a satisfactory solu-
tion of the troubles in the administra
ton of soldier relief Early action by
President Harding on the report is eX-
pected. One recommendation provides
for the new agency and gives it Jurls-
diction over the bureau of war risk
insurance, the rehabilitation division OF
the federal board for vocational educa-
ton and such part OF the pubic
health service as may be necessary
to care properly for disabled veterans.
II also asks that director general as
sumo charge of the new agency with
full authority to obtain necessary ia
cilities when those already available
prove inadequate.
Another recommendation is that
pending enactment of new laws Sec
! retary Mellon of the treasury shall IS
! sue orders to the heads OF the pubic
health and war risk bureaus, authorlz-
ing the latter bureau to take charge oil
! the public health activities and per-
sonnel engaged in providing medical
care for the veterans. The erect
would be to consolidate these bureaus,
under one head by executive order
without waiting for congress to act or
risk delay from that cause.
The next recommendation provides
for an immediate extension and utll-
ization of all government hospital Ia
cilities together with such moblllza-
tion of civilian medical services as
may prove practical.
An immediate and continuous hospi-
tai building program is asked in a
recommendation which suggests that
Secretary MELONS committee recently
appointed to report on sites for new
hospitals be directed to report con-
cerning the type and locations OF the
required buildings. 1t adds that ap-
preparations should be made available
by the congress which convenes next
Monday.
The sixth calls for erection of hui
manizing influences to impress the
sick and wounded with the fact that
the nation is entirely concerned in
their welfare and rehabilitation.
The last asks immediate use of the
$1S,6OO,OOO appropriated by the last
congress for new hospitals.
