Sin,Ons to Tell Reichstag
Ne1U Reparatio,,s Offer

BERLIN, April 81 (By The Associ-
ated Press).- DIR. Walter Smons, the
Foreign Minister, announced to-day
that he would answer interpretations in
the Reichstag ca the German repara-
tlons proposals and the manner in
which they have been prepared on Mon-
day or Tuesday. Until then the Ger
man press and public have little hope
of getting the truth out Of the mass of
rumors, which daily is growing greater,
concerning the plans of the German
government and the attitude of the
ether governments. especially the
United States.
The situation has been much COM
plicatcd by the opposition to DR..
Simons. which has been circulating re-
ports that he would be forced to re-
sign and has been criticizing plans
which the government insists have no,
yet definitely been formulated. DR..
Simons alone seems to have knowledge
of what the final proposals will be, and
even the Cabinet is not discussing
them. The clamor for information is
getting loader as May ! approaches
and action is being demanded by all the
parties. which seem to be persuaded
that France inevitably will order fur
Their occupation unless Germany offers
acceptable proposals.
That the German government has
been exporting gold into neutral coun-
tries was denied semi officially here
to-day.
The presence of German coin in New
York was explained as possibly being
due to shipments from Sweden, which
country, the semi-official statement
says. has been in possession of Ger
man gold sent there to cover purchases
during the war

German Reds Crushed i'm
Shop Council Elections
BIZ Wireless to The Tribune

Copyright. wi. New York Tribune Inc.
BERLIN, April 2l.--Further evidence
of the completeness of the Communist
downfall after the recent futile revo-
lutionary effort is seen in tho results
Of the shop council elections in Con-
trail Germany. So complete has been
the split between the Reds and moder-
ates III the Communist party that de-
tcat has overwhe helmcd it on all sides
In elections at forty plants eleven
Communists and PCS representatives of
other parties were chosen. The de-
feat is attributed to the disgust and
disillusionment of the workers as a
result of the recent revolt and also
to the fact that elections for the first
time in months were carried out in
the absence of Communist terrorism.
The turn in the mind Of the work
crs is significant in view of the fact
that Halle, where the Communists
have now suffered their greatest dc
feat, was formerly the party stronghold.
The remnants of the Red branch of the
party arc still trying to incite the
workingmcn to revolt and are preach
ing renewal of the revolt at the first
opportunity, in accordance with a man
date from Lenine that is appearing
boldly in the Red press.

will amount to 1,900.000.O00 francs
yearly, while the return from the other
industries are figured at 100000 900,
thus totaling nearly 3,000,OOO,O00 francs

Charges that the admission Of films

up yesterday by the Motion Picture

1t was on the ground that the German
films are propaganda that the associa-
tion voted to discourage their exhib-
ton in the United States.
The association cited the pictures

shown in this country, the latter in
New York, as concrete specimens q
pictures which it is said Germany is
using to present in a bad light the
nations that fought against her in the
late war, along with the United States
SEQ Attack on France
In n statement on the subject the
association said:
"A thorough analysis Of the first
mentioned Of these films indicates a
most subtle attack on France. In an
aim to picturze an episode Of French
history, there is shown the story Of
one Of the most serious uprisings
against organized law and order that
ever was enacted.
"Surcly, had German art triumphed
over German reason, and real effort
been made to promote the cause of
peace, rather than to instill unrest in
a restless community, it seems to us
that the history of France presents
more picturesqucly beautiful episodes
than the life of Du Barry.

the danger is not in seeing the picture
but in the discussion of its literal
truthfulness thereafter.

German point of view, Of bringing

The third alternative is the passive
resistance shout which so much has

,eW months. nat is tnaC the German
government would do nothing, and
would let the French come in and do
what they pleased.
The best, thought. however, is that
The GermaHs will follow the first idea,
having played their last high trump
in the appeal to President Harding to
mediate personally and fix the amount
of reparations.
It is believed here that the disap-
pointment in Berlin over the prompt
rejection Of this proposal by President
Harding will be very keen. 1t is
thought that the Germans had counted
heavily upon it, believing that Mr
harding would be flattered by the ire
mcndous Importance of the office Of
fered him.
1t is the same old game, one dplo-
mat commented tonight, that the old
German Foreign Office, although then
under the Hohenzolerns, played with
President Wilson before the entry of
this country into the war. The Ger
man diplomats tried to gain all sorts
of advantages by holding up to the
President Of the United States the op-
portunity to go down in history as the
peacemaker of the worlds greatest
war.
To get no. single days delibera
tion over such an offer, it is thought
will be cruel blow to Wilhelmstrasse

Benson Says He Refused
Liquor Permit to Shin

WASHINGTON, April 21~Permi,.
sion to carry liquor on government
owned vessels was requested of the
Shipping Board by the Munson Lines
some time ago, but was denied, Chair
man Benson said tonight in discussing
cable reports that its steamer Huron
had left Montevideo. Uruguay, as a
wet ship" The chairman reiterated
his previous announcement that no per-
mission had been given any onerator,
to carry liquor on Shipping Board
vessels.
The Huron. he said, cleared from
Montsvideo under United States consu-
lar permits and would enter New York
under supervision Of customs officials.
He said there was an efficient service
in the Revenue Bureau whose duty it
is to look out for those matters. After
the ship has arrived, he added, report
will be submitted to him, and he will
then decide whether his official a:ten-
tion in the case is necessary.

The Brussels government is especial,
interested in the French plans because
belglum is the closest neighbor to the
Ruhr region that is to be occupied. She
is to have preference in the payment OF
the ll,3oo,ooo,ooo gold marks still nut
her from Germany and is also greatly
interested in the effect which the pro
posed occupation of the Ruhr vii
have on Belgian industries
Another conference of military ano
economic experts met in Paris to- day
under the presidency of Marshal Foch
The subject most discussed, it is un-
derstood, was the tax to be placed or
coal shipped out Of the Rubr and The
levies to be placed on German cities tc
pay the expenses Of the occupation
Later Marshal Foch talked for several
hours with M. SeyGouX, the French
economist.
The French plan is to be carried out
in two stages, the first of which j. i
more ruthloss than the second. The
first part of the occu patton will be in
tended specially to bring pressure on
the Germans to force their agreement
to the Allied Intentions This is to
be followed by another regime less ex-
acting. but permanent Of which the
chief object will be to obtain payment =

French intend, however, to let all local
German officials. except tho military
authorities and tho controller of taxes
remain at their posts.
