ACTION OF U. S.
ON GERMAN NOTE
PLEASES ALLIES
France and Great Bri-
tain Are Very
Grateful.
By DAVID LAWRENCE.
Especial to The Argus.)

Washington. April 30.-Great
Britain and France are deeply
grateful to the United States gov
ernment for the courtesy as well
as loyalty displayed to the allied
governments in handling the Ger
man reparation proposal.
Officially, indeed, nothing has
happened-the allies haven't re-
jected or accepted the German pro-
posal, they haven't expressed their
views on how it might be modified
satisfactorily, in fact the allied gov
ernments have received no propO-
sition from Germany because the
United States hasn't transmitted
any document. Comment, therefore,
as to its unacceptability as an off
er or its unacceptability as an off,
for negotiations, has not been for
mally uttered by any of the allied
governments to our government.
All this is diplomatic fiction and
custom but it tells the story. For,
as a matter of fact, Secretary
Hughes did give duplicates Of the
German proposal to the ambassa-
dors and ministers of the allied
powers just as soon as the te!e-
graph operators handed a bookful
Of carbon copies to him. And with
in a short time thereafter, the
American secretary Of state learned
the immediate reaction of the dip
lomats here to the proposal. And
since then, too, the British and
French premiers have spoken pub
licly their disapproval.
What then is the next move?
Since the allies have received no
proposal from Germany officially,
they have nothing before them. AS
announced by Premier BRAND, un-
less a satisfactory proposal is be-
fore the supreme council on May
1st. the occupation Of the Ruhr
valley by allied troops will be be-
gun as a penalty for German de-
fault. e
Fallen Through.
So far the United States has not
decided to send the German pro-
posal to the allied conference for
intimations, public and private.
