NOTE EXPECTED
 IN WASHINGTON

Washington, April 24.-Germanys latest reparation proposals are expected to reach Washington early tomorrow and to be given immediate consideration by President Harding and Secretary Hughes.
 It is understood that if the proposals are outlined in substance in the comntu- nicationS said to have been going on between Berlin and the allied capitals today, there will perhaps be no action for the United States to take inasmueh as President Harding already has refused to act as mediator in the controversy.
 Should the proposals be of such na- ture, however, as to warrant action by the United States. it is understood 1t will be taken only after consultation be- tween Secretary Hughes and the allied diplomatic representatives here. In his last communication to Berlin. Mr Hughes made it perfectly plain that he would undertake to lay Germany's proposals be- fore the allied governments, only lin a manner acceptable to them"
 The state department report was with out official information as to the char acter of the communication which the Berlin foreign office was reported in press dispatches as having handed today to Loring Dresel American commis- sioner at the German capital Meantime, it was announced, all comment to the whole subject of reparations was with held.
 The German answer to MT. Hughes memorandum of last week had been ex- pected during the afternoon, and some officers of the state department re- mained on duty to receive it. No plans had been made, however. to transmit it to Secretary Hughes. It was assumed that the memorandum was put on the cables at Berlin tonight and that it would reach the state department the first thing tomorrow. 1t will be laid before the Secretary of State immediately after it is decoded.
