London, March 90.
DR.. Sthamer German Ambassador,
arrived from Berlin to-day TO resume
his duties as previous TO the London
conference He says that Ambassador
William Mayer Won Kaufbeuren is re-
turning TO Paris. He explains that the
unexpected return is due TO the fact
that the British and French Ambas-
sadors have returned to Berlin, which
was a signal to Germany likewise to
renew diplomatic relations.
At the Embassy it was said this
evening that the situation is the Same
as though the London conference
never had been held. as far as rela-
ttons are concerned. There is the
question of the sanctions on one side
and the reparations on the other. but
the differences have caused a COM
plete deadlock economically and Ger
many is awaiting the next move,
which, she says, is decidedly up to the
Allies. In the meantime the countries
will carry on as though fresh diner-
ences had never arisen.
The problems rising out OF the Lon
don conference are entirely up in the
air. or, as the Germans say the same
as II the London conference had been
wiped out, except that the Allies are
occupying a little more German terri
al. z1,,tiA xNF he
problem is no nearer. and that further
negotiations are necessary TO clarity
them.
Question Allowed TO Drift.
A British Foreign Office official told
the correspondent for THE NEW YORK
herald to-day that he expected the
question would be allowed to drift until
May l. the date set when the Germans
must disarm completely and present a
programme for meeting the terms of the
treaty. He said that the -eparations
matter lies with the council of Ambas-
sadors, as the Premiers feel that the
bassadors arc capable Of handling
and mapping out plans regarding Gus
toms and sanctions.
IL is also now expected that the coun-
ell OF Ambassadors. with teegraphic ad-
settle the Silesian result. The reports
of the interallied commission on the
plebiscite have not yet srrlved. to-day's
official advices from kattowltz inform
ing the Foreign Office that there are still
scme minor corrections to be made.
According to the present plans. there
will be no conference at Stresa, Rome
or any other place until around May 1,
when 1t will be necessary for the Allies
A-o N
do with Germany If she is still recalci-
trant. There is a steady application OF
the present sanctions. and the Allies still
believe that Germany stewing in that
tuice is worse off than the Allies. If
she violates the treaty further she will
be further punished. but the Allies be-
l.eye she will see the light before May l.
waiting for Allies to Act.
German officials say that DR.. Sthamer
did not bring back anything suggestive
OF new German proposals on reparations
and reiterate that Berlin Is waiting for
the Allies to show their hand first
DR.. Sthamer asserts the uprisings In
Germany. while serious, are nothing
which the military cannot handle safely.
He insists that the Communist fever
came from Russia and is not any
-grandstand" play for the benefit of the
Allies. and declares that the Govern
ment agents have proof that the Rods
ia Russia are giving material encourage
ment by financing the Saxony disturbers
and that communications have been car
ricd on between them.
He points out that II is obvious that
the German Reds have gone too far in
dynamiting bridges. destroying property
and trying to separate themselves from
