Referring to Deputy Auriol's pro
posal Of yesterday looking to the for
nation of an international economic c
office for reconstruction and economic
revival, with financial backing from the
United States, the Premier said that
the only reply he had to make was
that everything possible had been tried
toward the solidarity of the Allies,
and the efforts were continuing. He
gave the British Prime Minister credit
for being the first to reject the Ger
man proposals and paid tribute to him
as 'the sincere friend of France"
The debate on the decisions taken
at London was prolonged beyond ex-
pectation, and the chamber adjourned
until tomorrow.
Deputy Lenail early in the session
defended the occupation Of Cilicia and
Syria, and the great majority of the
deputies supported the attitude of the
government during NJ. Lenai's speech.
The Reparations Commission in its
note to Germany gave that government
until April to submit a proposal to
pay the balance of the 10000 0OeO, 600
marks otherwise than in cash. Ger
many may submit plan for foreign
loan by April l, the proceeds of which
shall be payable to the commission
The commission announced that Ger
many had virtually refused to pay the
balance, asserting the 20,00O,O00, 900
marks had been fully paid

The commission, in making its an

knowing what liquid assets the Ger
man government could offer in pay

Germany, replying under date of

later demand that all deliveries of
goods made by her be credited against
the 20,000000, 600. This communication

Vast Credits in u. s.
For Germany Reported

WASHINGTON, March 16 (By The
Associated Press ).-Inclusion by the
Allied Reparations Commission of the
American Federal Reserve banks as an
optional depositary for German in
demnity payments brought from Treas
ury officials tonight the statement
that the commission possibly had two
purposes in view:
First-To enable the German gov
ernment to call upon vast credits"
which it is said to hold through pri-
vate agents in the United States.
Second-To employ in favor of the
Allied governments the tremendous
difference in exchange rates.
Information gathered by The reserve
banks was said to show that since the
armstice Germany has been amassing
credits in United States national banks,
holding the funds in the names of indi-
vlduais. No approximate estimate Of the
amount could be obtained, but officials
said the sum would run into many mil
lions. This money, it was said, was
presumed to be for use in Germany's
future trade, much of which would CEN

L. S. Regarded as "Neutrar'
There had been no intimation given
the United States government that it's
banking system might be employed as
the reparations note forwarded to Ber-
lin to-day suggested, officials stated.
The Nero fact that this governments

concerned, was not accepted as the full
reason for the commissions proposal,

Germany, although technical enemy
would mean only the placing Of that
additional credit to the nations desig-
mated by the commission.
Funds in Other Countries
Officials gave no explanation Of meth
DDS employed by the Germans in build
ing up their supply Of funds in this
country. 1t was said that their govern
ment has used similar tactics in Hol-
land, in the Scandinavian countries and
more lately in London, after assurance
had been given by the British that the
deposits would not be confiscated
In some quarters lit was believed that
Allied intelligence agents had discov-
cred the existence of the German funds
here and that the commission had
acted on the feeling that Germany
would use the money in indemnity pay
ments. The suggestion also was made
that Germany might attempt to borrow
in the United States, in which case
the shipment of gold to Europe would
react favorably on the exchange situa-
ton, now strongly against all the
Allied nations. No information has
reached the Treasury, however, it was
said, that would indicate Germany had
sought or would seek loans through
private financial houses here.

PARIS, March 15.-It was strikingly
demonstrated in the French Chamber
Of Deputies to-day that Premier BRAND
has the country behind him in the pol
icy he is following regarding Germany.
Premier Brands speech makes it quite
clear he does not intend to adhere
strictly to the Versailles treaty, but
means to induce Germany to accept
agreements similar to those formulated
at the Paris Conference in January.
While keeping to the same indemnity
figures or their equivalent, NJ. BRAND
intends to add new guarantees. He
does not wish to adopt the policy, de
Tended by former President Poincare
and other Senators and Deputies.
which would increase the total figures
because Germany refused to sign the
contract
Wishes United States Support
M. Rrand is disposed to accept. in
place OF the present penalties, perma-
nent guarantees of an economic nature
and continue moderate military occu-
patton. He is anxious TO have the
cooperation of the United States army
IN this occupation; that is to say, to
keep as moral support the American.
troops which are now in the occupied
territory. This will certainly be the
most important request to be made to
President Harding by M. Viviani on
his visit to the United States.
Whatever form the ratification of
peace between America and Germany
may take, whatever policy the United
States may follow regarding the
League of Nations, NJ. BRAND seems to
hope that America will show she
wishes to aid France in her efforts on
the reparations problem by continuing
to occupy Coblenz.
The French government does not
take seriously German Nationalist
manifestations which are intended to
create enthusiasm for the plebiscte in
Upper Silesa. The Premier is con-
vinced the Germans will bring forward
new proposals when the plcbiscte fixed
for next Sunday is over.
Finds Commission Troublesome
Nj. BRAND considers that the Repara-
tions Commission plays too large
part in the Versailles treaty He be-
leves also that the deliberations of
the Reparations Commission, in which
France has one vote out of five. lead
to delays on the part Of Germany. That
is what has just happened, in that the
commission, after declaring Germany
ought to pay 10000 900, 900 marks be-
fore May |, was content to fix pay
ment of 1,000000,000 marks by March
z3.
During the conversations in London
M. BRAND showed he was convinced
that the entire world desired the fixa-
tion Of the complete German debt to
the Allies at reasonable sum- H.

be effective until March 81, passed the
committee stage in the House Of Com

workers on the Mexican railways
which began the middle of February

against filled Penalties

DUSSELDORF, March 16 (By The
Associated Press The Rhenish prov
incial Diet closed its sixteenth session
to-day with solemn protest against
the Allied penalties, asserting that in
stead of safeguarding the interests Of
the occupied territories they would
utterly destroy them. The Diet mem
bers declared they refused to believe
that the sense of justice of the other
nations would permit such wrong.
: resolution was adopted unani-
mously by the Diet declaring that no
matter what happens the Rhinelanders
will faithfully remain united with the
German state and that neither force
nor misery can separate them.

half of the French government against
the speech, decileved by Majo General
Won Seecht one of the German repara-
tions delegation, in giving his i'm
pressions of the London conference to
officials of the Ministry of Defense on
March 13.
In the speech referred to General
Vqn Seecht said that at Spa and Ver-
sailles the French and Belgans had
treated the German delegates like kat
frs, but in London the English attitude
toward them had been in every way
correct. The breaking up of the con-
ference was attributed by Won Seecht
entirely to Premier BRAND and NJ

German territory in the event that
Germany persists in her refusal to
agree to the reparation termL.
Shortly on the heels of Viviani, and
very probably, in the opinion here, be-
fore his return to France, will come q
special British High Commissioner, un-
less the British government shall de-
eide to have Sir Auckland Geddes, the
ambassador here, represent it as spe-
olal commissioner as we'll as ambassa-
dor in view of the remarkable insight
which Viscount Grey obtained into the
majority opinion of America on the
league while he was here as ambassa-
dor, and in view Of the close personal
relations no established at that time
with practically the entire Republican
membership Of the Senate, it would not
surprise many here if he were returned
to this country as the comm mssioner in
this case.
Other Negotiations Expected
1t was pointed out here tonight that
just before leaving, Lord Grey ex-
pressed the hope that he would return.
Republican Senator'S who grew to like
him immensely on his previous visit,
especially they found it easy to
make him understand their objections
to the league, are particularly hopeful
that this may happen. They point out
that it would save q lot of time, which
would otherwise be spent breaking the
ice.
While there has been no indication
so far that any other power woulG
follow the lead of Britain and France
in taking up with the Harding Admin
istration the idea of an association of
nations, the belief here is that once
the negotiations are under way most of
them will speedily follow the lead.

DROPS COMMENT
ON SHUTS VIEWS
Address of African Premier.
Touching U. S. Relations,
Impresses.
POINTS MADE IN SPEECH

LONDON, June 22.-The morning news
papers made no comment today on the
speeches of Premier SHUTS Of South
Africa, and Premier Hughes, of Australia,
urging Great Britain to invite the United
States, japan and France into conference
for discussion of limitation of naval
armament. The speeches were made at
the imperial conference.
The speeches, especially that of Pre-
mier SHUTS, made a profound Impression
In all circles. Premier SHUTS pointed
out the dangers of "imperialistic think
ing and said it was vitality necessary to
Keep in touch with the United States. He
said that it should be the strongest
policy of the British Empire to make a
race for ornaments impossible. The
most fatal mistake Of all, he added. would
be a contest for ornaments with the
United Stats.
The American natiou," he went on, els
closest to us in all human ties. The
dominions look upon her 1.-THE United
States) as the oldest Of them"
In conclusion the African premier said
America left our circle long ago be-
cause Of a great historical mistake. /
am not sure but what a wise policy, after
the great events through which we have
passed recently, might not repair the
effects Of that great error and once more
bring America into general cooperation
with the British Empire"
Other points made by Premier SHUTS
we're:
The Pacific will contain the greatest
world problems for half a century.
America came into the war late be-
cause she did not realize what was at
stake.
There should not be an alliance with
the United States; only new spirit Of
close cooperation.
Inc scenes have been shifted and the
eyes Of the world have turned from Eu-
rope to the Far East.
