BERLIN, Nov. IA Germany.
through her political leaders. sees
in Americas proposal for a reduc-
tion Of navies a CLEAN OF hope that
her recent conquerors will not
crush her completely.
This, to the German mind. means
that Secretary Hughes plan will
deprive France of the backing nee
essary to maintain her threat of
renewed war along the Rhine.
Intentions Clear.
As an evidence of this feeling
Admiral Won Brueninghaus. promi-
nent Volkspartei member of the
Reichstag, declared in an interview:
Americas intentions are clear
The question Of war or peace cxn-
not be raised after such a frank
opening. But 1 am skeptical re-
garding the outcome of the confer.

"If the proposal succeeds in bal.
ancing sea power, whether through
an understanding with England and
Japan or with Egland alone, there
by isolating Japan, Germany's posi-
tion with respect to France will be
relieved, because in either case

tinguished Socialist pacifist, said

Americas proposal for disarm

said. Germany is highly inter

counter on the Pacific are wors,

DR.. Adolph Brauden, of the for

FRANCECONSENTS
TO CONCESSIONS In
GERMAN PAYMENTS
Installments Due This
Year to Be Post
pOned.

BERLIN, Nov. II. - Coincident
with President Harding,s confer
ence. which is regarded in Ger
many as the first sincere attempt
to bring peace on earth and good
win among nations, comes the hrst
step to bring at least a semblance
of god will between France and
Germany. From the highest en-
tente sources comes the word that
the French delegates on the al
lied reparations commission, which
Is now. in session in Berlin. have
consented to grant Germany repa-
ratios concessions for the payments
due in 1921.
Although this decision temporar-
lily shelves the question of a COM
plete moratorium for Germany for
three years, It is the first step offi-
cial France has taken since the
armistice to relieve Germany OF a
condition which British as well as
Germany to the wall.
Britain in Agreement.
The agreement was reached be-
tween the British and the French
after N. Dubois, a French dele
gate. had pointed out that the re-
construction Of northern France
stood in the way of granting Ger
many still easier terms. He said
that France must see definite re-
suits from the weisbaden recon-
struction agreement before letting
up further.
The commission now believes
that Germany, despite the break In
the money market. will be able to
pay the January installment Of the
reparations. as we'll as the quar-
terly percentage Of the payments
on exports. which is about $50. .000.- =
o0H and is due in February. Sir
John Bradbury. the British dele
gate. urged Germany to pay the
$3.50. 100000 due in January and
February as a show of good will.
upon which the commission would
make concessions for the balan nee
next year.
Reject "PawnInE- Plan.
The second important decision Of
the repsrations commission. OF
which Col. Logan is the American
member. was the rejection OF a
plan by big German Industrial lead
ers, including Hugo Stines. the
Krupps and the Thyssens, to pawn
Germany's industries as a guaran-
tee for reparations payments. The
commission considered the offer.
which was made after consultation
with Chancellor Wirth. an imperti-
nence because the German indus
trial leaders demanded that govern
ment-owned property, such as the
state RAILROAD system, be given for
private exploitation.
The comission suggested a new
plan In which the Industrial inter-
ests would make some sacrifices for
the country instead of trying to
proht from its misery.
In today's session Of the German
government economic council q
statement was made that itforma-
tion has been received from WASH

iting the German chemical produce
