GERMANS WILLING
TO REPAIR FRANCE
Send Note to British Reiterat-
ing Willingness for Re-
construction.

BY Associated Press:
LONDON, April 22.-Germany has
sent a note to the British govern
ment reiterating complete willing
ness to undertake the reconstruction
Of devastated France.
The note, which came from the
German foreign office. was delivered
by the German embassy to the Brit
ish foreign office Friday evening. II
follows:
Germany is absolutely persuaded
that it is unavoidably necessary, for
the purpose of restoring economic
peace throughout the world, that the
territories devastated through the
war should be reconstructed and re-
stored. Until this is done there will
be danger that feelings Of hate Will
continue TO exist among the nations
concerned.
Germany therefore declares her
self once more TO be entirely willing
70 keep this construction with all the
means and strength at her disposal.
and to take into account in regard
thereto. in every individual case,
each wish Of the power concerned As
far as is possible"
