u. S. GUARANTEE SEEN IN
MEDIATORY PROPOSALS
Paris Temps Asks If This Is
Washington VieW.

PARIS. April 22.--The Temps, comment
ing on the reply Of the United States TO
Germany's request for mediation with
regard to reparations says:
"One truth overshadows all in the ex-
change of the German and American
notes. If the German Government were
ready to bring forth acceptable propo-
sails it would not make detour by way
of Washington. 1t would submit direct
ly its offers to the reparations commits
sion before the total German debt is
fixed and the mode of payments de-
cided upon.
THE invitation of the United States
for Germany to formulate acceptable
proposals is impossible for the Simons
Government, in view OF the past two
years Of odious propaganda, in which
DIR. Simons himself helped, that the Ger
man people owe nothing and that they
have not been vanquished.
Before Germany can subscribe to ac-
ceptable undertakings the German peo-
pie themselves must realize their posi-
ton and their duty. Words will not suf-
flee. We must have. in fact we demand,
guarantees. The United States Govern
ment, which loves peace and is desirous
of bringing the crisis to an end, Is try
ing to encourage Germany to change
it's mentality. That is why It is not
simply refusing to mediate but offers to
Germany to transmit acceptable propo-
sails.
THE offer to transmit new proposals
was made in the evident desire to be
agreeable to the Allies. and we are
happy to recognize the tact with which
Secretary Hughes drew UP this difficult
paragraph. We shall not insist upon
the Importance which the transmission
by the United States OF German pro-
posals would assume before the entire
world. No one assuredly can consider
that so great nation, after the decisive
part which 1t took in the war. would act
"a a simple messenger and ignore the
contents and the value of the message
which II transmits.
German propositions transmitted by
the United States would be, no matter
what Is said or done, propositions guar
anteed by the United States. Such
guarantee. If unequivocally formulated.
would be very advantageous to Ger
many's creditors. They might after
ward invoke the assistance of the United
States to bring Germany to execute dur
ing thirty years. perhaps, undertakings
which 1t assumed through and under the
auspices of the United States. Is this
really the manner In which the situation
Is understood at Washington

IS WILLING TO BE
MEDIATOR BUT NOT UMPIRE

to this idea. In the case or France,
however, there have been suggestions
from unofficial sources that she might
be willing 10 accept the United States
as arbiter II Germany would agree and
give adequate assurance 20 stand by the
decision.
President Harding has expressed In
strong terms In the note to Germany the
interest OF the United States In an early
settlement OF the reparations problem
upon a Just basis. That would seem to
indicate that this country could not help
making further moves toward an under
standing in the case of a prolonged
deadlock.
II Ganmany should advance some prop
osition which on its face would not be
acceptable 10 the Allies even as basis
for reopening the negotiations, an inn
rasse would be reached. The Admins
tration would then be face TO face with
the necessity OF making more direct pro-
posals or Of Withdrawing entirely from
the situation and letting present condi-
tons drift from bad 70 indefinitely
worse.

NO RUHR RESISTANCE
TO ALLIED OCCUPATION
Labor Head Says Uprising Is
Not Considered.

Special Gable to THE New YORK HERALD.
Copyright, 1897 by THE NEW YORK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau,
Berlin, April ~.
Working men in the Ruhr Valley have
no intention of resisting the Allies in the
event OF further occupation. according to
a prominent trade union head represent
ing 100000 workers An armed up
rising is not being considered by the
workers, he says, nor would they begin
general strike without recommends
tion from the Central Trade Union.
I'VE coul, not recommend an action
which might lead to broodshed and GER
tain misery for the workers" he con-
tinued. I'VE are concerned in finding
relief for those affected by the increased
unemployment due large.y to a general
Industrial uncertainty. The workers are
bound to be the greatest losers in the
application of new sanctions. Through
the closing down of work they will be
the first to feel the depression. Manu-
facturers with the stocks they have on
hand can hold out for six months on an
average. The workers also will feel the
pinch of q rise in prices in the occupied
area"
The head of the metal workers union
declares that the metal workers are not
inclined to the idea or a general strike.
but that the situation will determine the
policy.
The metal industry expects an extern
sive closing down in May when the ex-
isting stocks and orders expire. The
textile industry has already been Grip
pied by the new customs sanctions. The
union heads declare themselves to be
more solid with the Government than
previously and are convinced that new
military sanctions will only increase the
misery.

Interaliied Commission Ia

By the Associated Press.

MAYENcE. April 2a.-The Interaliied
Rhineland Commission is meeting DIM
cuities in the application of the new GUS
toms regime on the eastern frontier Of
the occupied territories, as a large per
centage of the German customs officers
have refused TO work while others are
opposing passive resistance.
Refusals to work for the. Allies have
been particularly numerous in the re-
gion of Ludwigshaven and Dusseldorf.
The commission is prepared TO take en-
ergetic measures to put the Germans to
work In the region of Dusseldorf, allied
officials say, the first day the regime
came into effect the frontier customs
posts actually were swamped with par
cells which the officials declare had eyi-
IDENTIFY been saved for many days In or
der to embarrass the Allies.
1t is learned that traffic between the
occupied territories and Germany proper
is ten times more In volume than that
on the western frontier Of the German
republic between Belgium, France and
the occupied territories. In the region
of Mayence and Worms freight trains
have suffered considerable delays owing
to the detection of the German customs

LONDON. April 22.-The coal situation

voted continued confidence In FRANK

Tbis is considered an important point
II having been maintained by the miners
that figures hitherto advanced ny lhS
owners TO prove the INDUSTRY was un-
ahle to stand higher wnge scale than
that thew offered were misleading. ana
that in any case it was unfair to base
a pe,1nanent wage scale upon PERIOD
of abnormal depression in the andus-
try.
irnofficial and unconfirmed reports
are current tonight that the Govern
ment is disposed to agree to sort or
national wages pool, as distinct from
profits pool and Is strongly urging the
owners to make a better wage offes.
Although the miners are firm on tne
demand for national pool. the fact
that they have not withdrawn their
confidence in Mr.. Hodges leaves the
hope that a compromise settlement is
possible.
After a conference this morning the
miners delegates issued statement de-
elaring that reports from the mining
districts showed complete unaniinity on
the demand for q national wages board
and national wages pool.
Official figures on unemployment
place the total at 1.6ss,90O an increase Of

the Coal Exchange that several cargoes
OF American coal were on their way to
British ports, that French coal already
had arrived and that Belgium was re-
leasing coal for England.
Another crisis has arisen in the enei-
neering industry over proposed wage
cuts amounting TO G12,50O,00o and affect

In diplomatic circles here the impress

made TO reach settlement mutually
satisfactory to the Powers concerned.
The Government. according to the AsGhi
Shimb bun, is considering the advisability
Of appointing a special commission with
this end In view.
Resolutions declaring that the present
Ministry Of Japan precipitated the en-

passed by the Kensei-kai, or Opposi-

Viscount Kato, the party's president
in which he scored the Ministry for

The resolutions declared the Ministry
pursued ''retrogressive and disgracing

and loose and injudicious internal

unrest and the deterioration of national

Kato declared that the Government

The Vossische Zeitatn1 says the reply
