FORMER PREMIER IS
PLEASED WITH POLICY
OF UNITED STATES
Germany Must Accept Full Re-
sponsibility for War and Pay
Liabilities to Full Extent.

WASHINGTON. April 4.-(A. P1
Rene Viviani, envoy extraordinary
of France. conferred today with SEN
ator Knox of Pennsylvania and took
occasion. it is understood. to express
appreciation of the policy of this
country as stated by administration
officials. that Germanv must accept
fun responsibility for the war and pay
her liabilities to her full extent.
State department officials said no
notes had been dispatched TO Ger
many outlining this position and point
ed out that inasmuch as a state Of war
technically exists, no notes could be
dispatched.
In discussing the situation as af-
fecting France, however. NJ. Viviani
is understood to be taking cognizance
of the utterance of administration Of
ficials and to have madesclear that it
could but tend greatly to dispel the
possibility of any embarrassment his
country might feel, especially in the
matter Of repartions, should the Uni
ted States declare a separate peace.
He is also understood to have in
formed Senator Knox that any such
declaration as contained in his reso-
luton for terminating the war and
stating in substance that the United
States would view with grave con-
cern a war involving the peace of
Europe, would do much 10 relieve the
anxiety of the French people.

DESIRE EXAMINATION
or UNBIASED EXPERTS
Is Willing to Make ReparatiOns
to Limit Of Her Ability But
Wants Limit Determined.

WASHINGTON. April IA. Pr
A formal statement OF the United
States as to the German reparations is
contained In an exchange Of commu-
nications with the German govern-,
ment made public today BY the state
department. The German communal
cation from Dr. Simons, the German
foreign minister. OF March 20. stated
it was entirely clear to both the gov
eminent and the people that Germany
must make reparations to the limit OF
her ability to pay. but sought an ex-
animation Of unbiased experts to de-
termine the extent OF her ability. Sec
retary Hughes in reply stated the
United States government recognizes
in Simons memorandum sincere de-
sire to reopen negotiations with the al
lies on new basis and hopes that
such negotiations once resumed. may
lead to prompt settlement which
will satisfy the just claims of the al
lies and permit Germany hopefully TO
renew its productive activities.
