have the honor to reply as follows tc
the note OF ths Reparation Commission,
dated April 1s. 1921, regarding the metal
reserve OF the Reichsbank:
The decision of the reparation COM
mission demanding that the German
Government should as a measure of Sc
curity and to guarantee the work OF
repara tions transfer before May !, 1921.
the total metal reserve of the Reichs-
bank to branches at Cologne or Coblenz,
can be explained by the fact that the
second paragraph of Article 24S Of the
peace treaty, by whose terms the Ger
man Government can neither export nor
dispose OF gold, nor authorize gold to
be exported or disposed of without prior
authorization of the reparation COM
mission. will no longer be enforced be-
ginning May l.
THE German Government does not
fall TO appreciate how much the allied
and associated Governments are con-
cerned that that provision should not
become imperative before there Is an
agreement in principle regarding a solu-
ton of the problem of reparations. That
Is why 1t (the German Government) de-
clares itself ready to take Immediately
and before May l all legal measures
necessary, with a view to extending
the validity Of the said provision until
October l, 1921.
THE German Government considers
this proposition constitutes an equiva-
lent, satisfying the interests OF both
parties. of the course contemplated by
the reparation commission. It is neces-
sary. in the first place, to take into ac-
count the objection that the Reichsbank
as a private institution is entirely au-
tonomous and independent of the admin
istration of the State finances in han
ding It's private property particularly
Its metal reserve.
Even formally maintaining Its prop
erty right in the Reichsbank would not
meet this difficulty. Furthermore, the
measure would in no way serve the ends
sought by the Reparation Commission.

PARIS, April 23.-Germanys tactics

'On the 1st of May part Of the Ger

concludes. Germany is not paying and
she gives no immediate assurance. but
she palavers and she takes up arms. She

PARIS, April 23.-The American re-

ton, which reached Paris too late for
comment in yesterday mornings news
papers, is dealt with prominently by
all the Paris journals this morning,
the interest in it eclipsing even that
in the Lympne conference between
Premiers Lloyd George and BRAND.
President Harding and Secretary

and were careful not to be caught,

makes sincere proposals they will find
us ready to hear them"
