Special Despatch to THE NEW YoRK HERALD
New York Herald Bureau.
Washington, ID. c., March s.
While no comment was forthcoming
either at the White House or the State
Department to-day regarding the atu-
tude which the United States will
assume toward the advance of the
allied armies into Germany, Republi-
can leaders in the Senate plainly indi-
Gated that this acute situation may
make it impolitic for this country to
withdraw it's troops from the Coblenz
bridgehead for the present, and prob
ably will result in delay in the passage
of a resolution (the Knox resolution)
for separate peace with Germany,
which was TO be one of the first acts
of the new Administration.
The desire on the part of the Republic
can administration and the Republican
Congressional leaders for an early peace
with Germany and the withdrawal of
the last American soldier from the
Rhine has not lessened- But il is realized
that movement of this character in
the present situation would be exceed
ingly embarrassing to the Allies, who are
endeavoring to force upon Germany a
realization that she cannot evade the
reparaton demands. Ii would undoubt-
edly appear as q direct desertion of the
Allies at critical moment and greatly
encourage the German Government 10
stand out longer against an agreement
to pay. This is fully realized in Wash
ington.
The United States, Of course, has no
direct interest in the movement to en-
force the reparation demands for this
country Is not a party to the repara-
tons agreement between the Allies and
has nothing to gain from the movement
Tt is the hope of the Harding adminis-
tration, however, to be able to lay
course which will bring about spirit
OF cooperation between Great Britain
France and the United States In the
formation of some sort Of new asso-
citation for peace.
The passage Of a resolution for sepa-
tate peace with Germany or the with
drawal OF United States troops from the
Coblenz bridgehead at a time when the
allied troops are advancing further into
German territory would undoubtedly
lie looked upon in London and PariD as
a studied slap at the allied policy and
would certainly not encourage those
countries 10 look Win ldNpr on any lu-
ture proposal which this country may
make for a new international adjust
ment. 1t seems likely therefore, that
the status quo so far as the American
troops and the German peace question
are concerned viii be altowed to stand,
4t least until the existing crisis in the
reparations controversy ia passed
Ut Is hoped by the Senate leaders that
By the time the extra session convenes
early in April the situation in regard to
reparations will have cleared sufficiently
to permit this country to take up the
question of a separate peace with Ger
many and take the American soldiers
out OF Europe without seriously influ-

statesmen finally see that Europe can
snly be rebuilt by cooperation.
Theodor Wolff remarks that the story
OF London merely goes to prove that in
France the military occupation OF Dus-
seldorf. Duisburg and Ruhrort was
found to be more valuable than Ger
many's l5,oOo.ooo.ooo marks gold in
five years.
IF a Rhineland customs frontier is
established 1t is held here. that all
countries. including America, will have
to prove that goods exported by the
Allies are not OF German origin. Only
by introducing such a control as that
in the Rhineland OF all allied purchases
abroad, the Germans say, will the Allies
be able to make their customs barrier
effective and prevent its evasion by
Germany shipping her goods through
Holland, Switzerland and Denmark. 1t
was declared that the Allies could not
forego such a system on the ground of
shipping by way of these countries be-
cause of the higher cost OF transporta-
tion. since Germany would be able to
reduce freight rates accordingly.
The Germans expect America to with
draw her Army of Occupation rather
than permit a customs frontier In the
American zone under American aus
pices.
But just what difference the with
drawal of the American troops would
make would dpend. it Is seen here, on
what measures the Allies were willing
TO take. In case the Americans re-
fused to cooperate with the Allies on the
ground that it would mean ratification
Of the sanctions. there would be eft In
the tariff frontier hole nearly forty
miles wide running from the Rhine at
Lens to Limberg, In the Lain Valley,
and crossed by two railroads These
are now unimportant roads, but they
could become the chief outlet for the
German exports.
The Allies might establish a customs
wall around the American zone but
this would mean the hampering Of an
important traffic between Cologne and
Mayence, as we'll as controlling the trat-
fc along the French frontier. 1t Is
assumed that the Allies will ask Amer
lea to decide Immediately what course
she will take and that President Har-
ding will be face to face with a vital
choice at the very beginning of his
administration.
1t Is estimated here that It will take
three months to build up the customs
organization and set the machinery NOV
ing. The grave danger from the GUS
toms system Is felt to be in allied buyers
in Germany having 10 pay more than
half the purchase price of the goods TO
the Allies while the German Government
will be obliged to settle with these buy
ers. IT Is feared that this will mean that
the Government here will have to print
additional paper money to the extent OF
half the allied purchases In Germany
A slight amelloration is seen in the
prospect Of the Germans doing business
with allied buyers in francs and pounds
instead OF in marks, and so accumulat-
ing foreign paper with which they could
make purchases OF raw materials. but
how much this would check initiation IL
Is impossible 70 estimate now.
The enforcement Of the allied sane
tions begins new period OF successive
measures OF punitive character, in the
opinion OF responsible Germans.

Not j single word or act in protest

cities has come from any of the places

the certainty that 100000 men would

The Tibuna says: Nothing
could be more unreal than the
German idea of reparations,
which, according to DR.. Simons,
should be a charge not upon the
German nation but on the Allies,
more especially the poorer of
the Allies. The hour for penal
