POSTPONE CHANGE
IN WESTERN RATES
COMMISSION HOLDS RATES FROM

GiON NOT UNREASONABLE.
Dsmisses Complaint of the Intermedi-
ate Rate Association, But Holds
Out Hope That Cut May

Washington. The intermOuntain

the interstate commerce commission
in the intermediate rate association
case, will not, at this time, he granted
lower rates from the east than pres
ent transcOntinental rates from the
east to Pacific coast points. The com
mission dismissed the complaint of the
intermediate rate association and held
that existing rates from the east to the
intermountain region are not unreal
sonable, unduly prejudicial or other
wise unlawful.
The decision, which is lengthy, in
dictates at various points that the COM
mission, in view of present unsettled
transportation and business conditions,
and in view of the gradual return of
water competition between the At
lantic and Pacific coasts, hesitates to
make vast REIMBURSEMENT Of rates to
the intermOuntain region, realizing
that as conditions settle down a fur
ther adjustment would probably have
to be made. In other words, the in
timatian is thrown out that If the cO1n-
mission now should grant the request
of the intermediate rate association 1t
would later be compelled to recognize
still further changed conditions, and
again revise rates to the intermoun-
tain country from the east, and thus
disturb business by two rate adjust
ments instead of one. The decision
does not bear the earmarks of final
ity; in fact, the commission says the
facts disclosed in this case SHOULD be
helpful in paving the way for a final
settlement of this veXed situatiOn.'

PROPOSALS NEARER
ALLIED STANDPOINT
GERMAN LEADERS ASSERT NEW
PREPARATIONS PROPOSALS CAN
NOT BE IGNORED.
Text Accepted by German Cabinet and
CabIed to United States.-Teutons
Believe That Entente Cannot
Afford to Ignore Proposals.

Berlin.-The German counterpart
posals on reparations were presented
to Ellis Loring Dressed, the American
commissioner, Sunday evening. April
a. and were Immediately transmitted
to the United States.
The governments failure to deliver
the note to the American mission Sat
urday night, according to the promise
OF Foreign Minister Simons to the
reichstag, caused numerous rumors
which represented the cabinet as be-
ing all but disrupted by dissension
over the proposal.
The protracted deliberations, it was
said. were due to conflicting opinions
on the phraseology of the note. The
cabinet is said to be united regarding
the fundamental principles underlying
Germany's new offer and also assumes
complete responsibility for the note, as
it does for the step which led to Ger
many's appeal to President Harding.
Reichstag leaders We're so informed
Sunday evening.
The German Peoples party leader
stated that the new Preparations pro-
posals Germany is making are such
that the entente cannot afford to ig-
more them; that Germany, in view of
the offer Of the United States, Is de-
termfned to make reparations offer
such as will spare President Harding
any embarrassment and not make
Germany appear ridiculous in her pres
ent action.
This party leader declared that
France would have the least of rea-
sons to reject the new proposals,
which he limited as having been de-
signed to represent liberal complo-
mise by Germany.
The new German proposals were
said by the German Peoples party
leader to represent liberal compro-
mise between the demands Of the en-
tente made in Paris and Germany's
offer at London. He said they would
name far-reaching guarantees cover
ing economic obligations to be as
sumed by Germany in connection with
her present proposal.
The German contemporaries, says
a dispatch to the Central News from
Berlin, are very long. The first part
is in the nature Of a protest, but in
finality they are appreciably nearer a
fuller realization of the allies stand
point. The German cabinet unani'
mously accepted them.
1t is understood that in the event OF
the occupation of the Ruhr region OF
Germany, says Il Reuter- dispatch from
Hythe, that no British troops will be
employed, but there will be some cav
airy and tanks to show the solidarity
of the allies.
