GERMANS SAY THEY CAN'T PAY
Parliament Will Be Asked to Defy
* the Allies #

DIR. Walter Simons, the German for
eign minister, told the reichstag at it's
session late Tuesday that Germany
cannot subscribe to the allied repara-
tion demands, on the ground that they
are not possible Of fulfllment.
The foreign minister proposes to
submit counter proposal to the allies
which If accepted, might lead a way
out from the threatened break.
madness" is the term leaders Of
the reichstag used in discussing the
conditions. Foreign Minister Simons
declared the execution of the terms
would produce chaos, not only in
Germany, but throughout central Eu-
rope"
"It is greatly to be deplored," he
continued, "that the great American
nation was only a bystander during
the negotiations concerning repara-
tions." Herbert Buttmann Of the
Dresdener bank said: "The latter
would kill Germany's export business.
It is inconceivable that America and
England will permit Germany, their
best customer, to be ruined by the en-
forcement of such terms"
It is rumored negotiations are pro-
ceeding with the majority socialists
and German nationalists for the pur-
pose Of inducing them to enter the
government in the hope Of creating a
united front from right to left. In
any event it appears certain the ma
jority socialists will stand firm behind
the government in it's opposition to
the entente demands, even If they can
not bring themselves actually to en-
ter the government.
The German mark showed a slight
decline towards the close Of Tuesdays
