GERMANY CAN NOT
PAY BILLION MARKS
France Says Guarantees Must
Be Given Preparations Will
Be Paid.

Paris.-Germany will not be able to
meet in full her reparations payments
of /, 900 100000 gold marks, falling due
January Is and February Is, and has
so informed the allied reparations COM
mission
Germany's note to the allies &C
knowledging her inability to pay
great portion of the 00,000000-mark
reparation installment due in January
has led to an immediate demand from
French officials for guarantees" If
the allies refuse to concur in forcing
these from Germany, France will take
them herself.
The fact that Germany would de-
fault on the January payment had
been long discounted and came as no
surprise to the government.
I'VE knew that if it didn't happen
in January, it would happen in Feb
ruary or later" said an attache OF Pre-
mier Brands office 80 we face a
default of payment which forces us
to ask for supplementary guarantees,
and if the guarantees aren't forthcom-
ing, we shall have to step in and take
them"
1T was because of the German sit
uation and our knowledge of her finan-
cial condition" he continued, that We
completed the Wiesbaden agreement.
We wanted to get payments in kind.
il Germany had not cash. 1t Is also
one more reason why the allies should
get pecially France and
England Brands departure for Lon
don certainly won't be delayed after
this"
The government will not move, how
ever, except in concert with the allies.
according to officials of the Quai
dOrsay.
1t is pointed out in other quarters
that France is not directly interested
in Germany's defaulting since Bel
GUM has priority payments out of the
January installment. But she is in
tensely interested in the principle in
volved, and will refuse to admit Ger
many's claim, since this would estab.
lish precedent that would be difficult
to overcome in the future.
