(By The Associated Press)
London, May 4.-The allied govern
ment's financial plan for Germany,
which, seemed to be completed doc
today by members of the reparations
commission into two parts. One Of
these is the purely legal portion. con
forming to the treaty Of Versailles,
Mhi,sssataa- other chiefly relates to the
guarantee bonds. (which it Is planned
to issue ass security for the German
payment, and the rates Of interest
being outside the provisions of the
treaty.
1t is not possible to determine yet
precisely what specifications will be
presented b. Germany, but according
to present intentions the reparations
commission will send to the German
government FRIDAY bill Of liabilities,
while simultaneously the allied gov
ernments will send another pare of
the plan, as modification of the
treaty favorable to Germany, and
which she can accept or not.
1t was explained today what was
being studied now were questions of
form rather than of essentials.
London, May 4.-Reports that new
German propositions relative to the
reparation question had been received,
which were current in this city last
night. were denied this morning by
Louis Loucheur, minister of the lib
erals in the French cabinet and one
Of the principal figures in the French
delegation attending the meeting of
the supreme council.
Germans Consider Note.
IL, =
Press. .)-The German cabinet met
this forenoon in anticipation of dis
cusSing developments at London. A
meeting was held yesterday, but no
action was taken relative to the rep
arations problem.
Just how long the Fehrenbach
cabinet will continue in Office is be-
lieved to depend on the nature of the
ultimatum being sent to Berlin by the
Allies, and the attitude assumed by
the reichstag.
"Not Clear"
While the. Berlin government was
not unprepared for the answer con-
tained in the American state depart
ment's reply to Foreign Minister
smons.' both the foreign minister and
his colleagues in the cabinet had
hoped that Secretary Hughes answer
would be a trife more precise In in
dicating the American Interpretation
of clear, definite and adequate pro-
posals." To this extent the American
answer left the cabinet in confused
state of mind, it was stated.
Yesterdays cabinet meeting de-
voted four hours to informal con-
alteration of the American reply and
the reports coming In from the Lon
don conference.
Foreign Minister Simons appeared
before the reichstag late yesterday
afternoon and reported on the Upper
Silesian situation. The independent
Socialists Immediately attempted to
inveigle him into discussion of Sec,
retary Hughes reply. Chancellor
Fehrenbach came to the foreign min
ister's rescue by requesting the
reichstag to postpone the discussion
of both issues until the cabinet had
thoroughly informed itself and & was
prepared to make a report.
