Criticises Sin1ons for Not

Berlin, March 2.
Germany's counter proposals on repa-
rations to the Allies were formulated
over night and polished UP by the Ger
man delegates to the London conference
while they were on a special train en-
route TO the meeting, according 10 the
posals are altogether the work OF the

One Of the chief criticisms here is that

Minister and head Of the Berlin delega-
senting the counter proposals failed %
show in a simple way that Germany
was really agreeing 70 a figure consld

cepted. Doubt was expressed whether

ing their final yes or mo TO the
allied ulttmatum was increased by the
fact that the German ears are turned
toward Washington, waiting for the
words that will fall from Mr.. Harding &
lips on Friday when he Is inaugurated
President of the United states. Thus,
in so far as Europe is concerned. the
Inauguration of Mr.. Harding comes at
an even more solemn and more crucial
moment than did the second inaugural
of President Wilson. Interest in Mr.
Harding's inaugural is just as keen in
the allied camp as in the German. for
while allied diplomatists refuse to con-
cede to Mr.. Harding the role of arbiter
which the Germans openly admitted to-
night they hoped he would assume
yet the Allies plainly recognize the value
of Americas moral support and the
effect any coolness toward them by Mr.
Harding in his inaugural speech might
have in stirring up German resistance.
It Is the hope of the allied Premiers
that Germany will submit before mill
tary measures will have TO be carried
further than the occupation OF Duisburs
and Ruhrdorf

The German Hopes.

What will be the attitude of the Ger
mans when they are face TO face with
this ultimstuIn is still problematical to-
night. Their hopes seem TO lie In get
ting some discussion Of the point they
have raised all day to-day, that the Ger
man proposal is virtually the equivalent
~ the Paris plan. even including the ad-
diticnal reparation to tho value Of
twelve per cent. OF the German exports.
tf they are unable to obtain this discus
sion and the French won their point with
the British that there must be no discus
sion. the likelihood Is that Dr. Walter
sirnons. German Foreign Minister and
head Of the Berlin delegation, will ask
for possibly forty-eight hours time 10
communicate with his Government, con-
tending that he has no plenipotentiary
powers. This the Allies PROBABLY will
accord the conference remaining in ses-
sion here and awaiting the German
reply.
After talks with persons on all sides
In the conference tonight this is one Of
the most obvious conclusions:
Il Is the internal political situation in
each OF the allied countries which poll
ticiaas have created for themselves that
now prevents their agreement on pro-
posals which discussion might show
