GERMANY REFUSES
TO MEET PAYMENTS
DISPUTES COMMISSIONS FIGURES
SHOWING BALANCE OF 10000
100000 MARKS DUE MAY I.
Failure to Pay Deemed a Violation Of
the Tresy OF Versailles, Which
the Commission Will Report to
the Allied Governments.

Parls.-Germany In her reply on
March % to the recent ultimatum of
the allied PREPARATIONS commission, re.
fuses to pay the one billion marks
gold due on this date, and disputes
the commissions figures showing a
balance Of 12,0O0,OO0,O0O marks due
May /.
II Is maintained in the German note
that the 10000, 100000 marks which
the peace treaty provided should be
handed over by May has been more
than paid.
The note asks that n joint commits
sion of experts fix the value of the
German deliveries on PREPARATIONS ac-
count, but 1t declares that, in any
event, 1t would be impossible for Ger
many to pay 12,OO0,00O,OO0 marks by
the first of May.
The note concludes as follows: "If,
after the experts have conferred, It Is
established that there Is deficit In
the payments by Germany, she is ready
to begin negotiations with the repara-
lions commission regarding the float
ing of loan abroad"
The PREPARATIONS, commission met
Wednesday morning to consider the
German reply, which was transmitted
from Berlin Tuesday night.
The Germans failure to pay is
deemed a violation of the treaty Of
Versailles, which the commission will
report to the allied governments. The
allies will then determine what meas
ures shall be taken.
1t is commented here that the Ger
man experts already have been heard
by the commission, which listened to
their arguments before fixing the
valuation Of the German deliveries
credited as payments against the 30
OO0,O00000 marks. This valuation,
therefore, was considered final, since
the treaty gives the commission sole
Jurisdiction In the matter.
