CERMANY'S TROUBLE
WITH ALLIED POWERS
United States Not to Become
Mediator In German Re
paration Affair.

WASHINGTON The American gov
eminent refused Thursday an urgent
request of the German government
that President Harding mediate the
question of reparations between Ter
many and the allies and fix the sum
Germany is to pay.
The United States agreed however
that if the German government would
formulate promptly such proposals re
garding separations as would present
q proper basis for discussion it would
"cousider bringing the matter to the
attention Of the allied governments III
A manner acceptable to them, in or
der that negotiations may speedily be
resumed
Germany's appeal. signed by Chan
cellor Fehrenback and Foreign Min
lister Simons, was directed to Presl-
dent Harding and transmitted through
American Commissioner Bresel at
Berlin. 1t was answered by Secre-
tary Hughes after a conference with
the president at the White House.
The texts of both the appeal and the
reply were made public Thursday by
the state department.
The communication from Berlin
said the German government was
ready and willing to agree, without
qualification or reservation to pay
such sum as the president, after the
examination and investigation, might
find lust and right" and to fulfill in
letter and spirit all provisions OF any
award that may be made by hlm
In reply Secretary Hughes said:
"This government could not agree
to mediate the question OF reparatlons
with a view to acting as umpire IN It's
settlement. Impressed, however, with
the seriousness of the issues involved
as they affect the whole world, the
government of the United States feels
itself to be deeply concerned with the
question OF obtaining an early and just
solution. This government strongly
desires that there should be an i'm
mediate resumption Of negotiations,
and reiterates its earnest hope that
the German government will promptly
formulate such proposals as would
present a proper basis for discussion.
Should the German government take
this course, this government will con

tention of the allied governments III a

that negotiations may speedily be re-
