.SLNONS SEES LITTLE HOPE
OF PREPARATIONS SOL UTION
German Finance Minister Warns France She Cannot
Get Draft on Future-Insists on Inviolabty of
Empire-Optimism in London

ruhe political observers here are of the
opinion that Dr. Shnons is looking for
ward TO the coming reparations confer
encc in London With little optimism
They direct attention especially to one
statement he made. TO the effect that III
all probability the first attempts Of the
conference will not lead to an under
standing and that IL would be eX-
traordinarily difficult to agree upon
new reparations methods.
II am going TO London" he declared,
feeling that the idea OF the invioability
of the empire cannot be torn from the
hearts of the German people as whole" F."
LONDON. Feb. l7.-An announcement
that the German delegates to the Lon
don conference are bringing definite pro-
posals concerning reparations has pro-
duced optimism among diplomats here,
since previously the Germans are de-
clared to have done little but declare
their inability to pay the allied demands.
Il is said that the German proposals
will be based on Ain argument that the
allied demands impose TOO great a bur-
den on the German general public. and
that tie German statements of revenue
and expenditure already show huge
deficit In official quarters il Is said on
the question whether the Germans
should he compelled &C pay taxes equal
ly heavy TO those OF the allies. that 1t is
likely the Germans will present the ar
gument that If such course is adopted
the costs OF production will be trcmen-
dously increa sed and the Germans will
have no possible prospect of tabiish-
ing their commerce and placing them
selves in position to meet the bill.

BERLIN, Feb. 17.-Dr. Walter Simons.
ruhe on the allied reparations demands
and Germany's attitude toward them,
said:
France will rot succeed in obtaining
from Germany her hoped for draft on the
future II will be our task in London TO
point this out better. Maybe the allied
representatives will rebel against our
proposals. Then for the time being the
situation will be the same as before the
Paris conference. and the stipulations OF
the Versailles treaty will continue to
operate.
THE amount of our opponents claims
for reparations, therefore, must be COM
munioated to us by May 1 and a decision
reached as to the method of payment.
The Reparations Commission then, from
time to time. will be required to decide
whether IT is possible for Germany to
make payments.
The Reparations Commission re-
ceived on the conclusion of peace

however. has been unable to co any
thing with them. Another 10000. 900. 900

you will see from this survey how
difficult 1t will be to agree on new
methods and how we again and again
are thrown back upon the peace treaty.

that the Greek population is predom'-

Furthermore it is held that should
Mustapha Kemsl Pasha succeed IN
throwing the Greeks out OF the one ti'ne

be different. but the actual control by
the Greek troops is so unquestioned at
the present moment that Downing street

tions by Turkey save those resting on

The hope was expressed mere to-day
that the Turkish delegations while IN
London would be able to agree upon
their representations to the Premiers'
conference. However. Downing street
is determined not to hear the Kenalists

LLOYD GEORGE TELLS
WHY RUSSIA IS BARRED
'Foolishly' Refused Call of
Allies Last Summer.
Bv Inc Associated Press.

LoNpoN, Feb. 17.-Premier Lloyd
George explained in the House of Com
mons to-day why Russia will not be
represented in the London conference.
He said:
"Russia. having foolishly declined an
Invitation to the conference Of the Allies
in Jondon last summer to settle all out
standing questions. because acceptance
would have involved arresting the march
of her invading armies in Poland. we do
not propose TO renew the invitation"
The Greek and Turkish delegations

Sevres treaty arrived in London TINS

of the Angora Government, Is not ex-
nected in London before Sunday owing
to his conference with Count Sforza, the
italian Foreign Minister, in Rome. The
turkish diplomats already In London be-
lieye that cooperation between the TWO
Turkish factions can be easily arranged.
PARIS. Feb. 17.-It is learned that the
instructions OF both Turkish missions are
practically identical with reference 10
the reincorporation into the Empire OF
Sn,vrna eastern Thrace, Cilicia and dis
tricts in Armenia. where there Is Mussul-
man predominance, and also northern
Mesopotamia.
The Nationalist, moreover. claim au-
tonomy in eastern Thrace on the pasis
of a plebiscite. On the other hand. while
the Constantinople Government appears
to accept limited control by foreign coun-
tries. the Angora Nationalists refuse TO
entertain any such proposals and de-
mand treatment similar to that granted
other vanouished nations. Both agree
to free navigation Of the Dardanelles.
