BERLIN, July 3O-The German for
j eign office expresses belief that the
negotiations, which have been pro-
| ceeding for the last three weeks be-
tween Ellis Loring Dresel, the Ameri-
can commissioner in Berlin, and DR..
Rosen, the foreign minister, have pro-
! gressed sufficiently to warrant the
| conclusion that general working
| basis has been established for the con-
clusion of a formal peace treaty be-
| tween Germany and the United States
at an early date.
1t is understood in we'll informed
quarters that the Geman governme mt
has assented to propositions submit
| ted by the American State Depart
ment, through Mr.. Dresel. in the way
of informal inquiries based upon the
| essential principles enunciated in the
| Porter-Knox peace resolution. None
, of these, it is said, had been opposed
by the Wirth cabinet, which is de-
| clared to be wholly in accord with the
American attitude on the preroga-
tives and privileges and various rights
under the treaty of Versailles, to
, which the United States is entitled by
virtue of Americas participation in
the war.
Economic Features Ignored.
The informal pourparlers here have
not touched upon economic features
! of the proposed treaty. but have dealt
with the cardinal points upon which
the United States places emphasis in
connection with it's Interpretation of
the Versailles treaty. The conclusions
reached as result of Mr.. Dresels s
| negotiations are being formulated in
the manner desired by the Washing
ton authorities and an official memo
| randum, it is forecast. probably will
be ready for publication within few
days. Upon this memorandum. IT Is
understood, the formal treaty will be
based.
The question IS to who shall be the
German envoy in Washington mean
while remains in allegiance, as the
German government prefers to await
Americas initiative with respect to
the appointment of her representative
in Berlin. 1t is a matter OF conjec-
ture in official circles here whether
accredited ambassadors will be ap-
pointed to either post immediately.
the inclination being to believe that
the first stage in the resumption OF
relations probably will call for the
remaining of charges equipped with
far-reaching credentials, after which
the regular diplomatic procedure will
be followed by the selection of am
bassadors.
Ffnanciers Spurn Once.
The German government is still ex-
priencing difficulties in its efforts to
induce any of the leaders of finance
or commerce to accept the Washing
ton appointment. which apparently is
viewed by the leaders of big business
as anything but a sinecure. For this
reason the probability is forecast
that Germany will be compelled to re-
sort to the academic world. where
