FEARS GERMANY
WILL DEMAND CUT
IN PREPARATIONS
French Press Deeply Dis.
appointed in Bank
ers' Report.

PARIS, June 1.-THE fear that
Germany will utilize the report of
the international bankers confer
ence as a pretext for disobeying
the demands of the reparations
commission is expressed in some
quarters here.
There is general disappointment
over the attitude of the bankers,
especially their failure to take the
position that a reduction of the
war bill against Germany in
evitably implies a reduction in the
allied debt to the United States.
France has felt that if Germany
was to be allowed to escape some
Of the obligations assumed when
she signed the treaty of Ver-
sailles. the allies should likewise
be permitted to enjoy some scaling
down of their war debts.
But the fact that ]. P. Morgan,
the American representative at the
bankers conference, announced
that the disinclination of France
to discuss changes in the repara-
tions arrangements prevented ne
eotiation of an extensive loan at
this time left a feeling of disap-
pointment. which is evidenced in
the comment OF, the French press
and many are now seeking a
scapegoat, on which to blame the
failure of the conference.
The French are chagrined over
the failure of NJ. Delacroix, chair
man of the conference, and Bel
gian representatives to side with
France in protesting against con-
sideration of changes in the repa-
rations schedules.
Apprehension lest Germany seize
on the bankers report to escape
part of her reparations payments
Is expressed by the Temps, which
holds that Morgan will make a
fuller explanation of his position
The Temps fears that Germany
may go so far as to ask a COM
plete moratorium until the end OF
1922.
iberte. while blaming the rep
arations commission for ever call
ing in the bankers. concludes that
France is wise in not consenting to
reduction of her bill against
Germany in exchange for a loan
because she would thereby receive
only few billion gold francs,
whereas she still owes the United
States and England thirty billions
and has as yet no assurance that
this sum will be reduced proper
tionately.

DEBATE ON TARIFF
QUESTIONS DANGER
OF GERMAN TRADE
Democrats Claim Rey.
nolds Probe Prices Are
Out of Date.

Whether American industries are
in serious danger from German
competition has become one of the
chief questions at issue in the
tariff debate in the Senate.
Information showing marked
increase in the general level of
prices in Germany during the past
few months has been seized upon
by critics of the bill as being
proof that duties in the McCumber
bill to guard against German COM
petition are unjustified.
1t is the contention of Demo-
cratic Senators that the prices
gathered in the Reynolds investi-
cation. as of August, 1921, are out
of date.
Attention has been centered on
the German situation during the
debate of the last few days on
the cutlery paragraphs of the bill.
The duties on cutlery are de-
between American and GermSn
investigation. 1t is admitted that
the duties are so high as to be
practically prohibitive with re-
spect to imports from England.
The Democrats hold that to the
extent that prices have increased
in Germany, American manufac-
turers will be able to make an
additional profit If they have the
protection OF the proposed duties.
That the Republicans have taken
some account of an upward tend
ency in prices in Germany is in
dicated in reductions from the
original rates made by the Finance
Committee and approved by the
Senate on practically all articles of
cutlery

Paris, June 10. (By Associated q rress)-An important conclusion ar rived at by the international commit tee of bankers as set forth today in their final report to the allied repa- rations commission is that although a large international loan to Germany cannot be recommended at the pres cnt time, the subject can be taken up later and that meanwhile a relatively small loan. to prevent financial col lapse in Germany might be arranged If necessity should require 1t.
 The report will suggest, it is added, a number of ideas relative to Ger many's obligations and even the inter allied debts, although the study of the latter was not included among the matters referred to the committee.
 Above all, it is expected to show the importance of improving the inme- diate financial position of Germany so as to facilitate the next partial separations payment under the mora tcrium, and will advise. if not small loan. at le,st the development Of com

COURTNEY'S DEATH NOT RESULT OF FOUL PLAY
Coroner Phelan Finds Man Met Death Under Train
 by Accident

Bridgeport, June 10.-No criminal responsibility attaches to ony one for the death of Captain Joseph P. Court ney, whose mangled body was found on the N. r.. N. H. & H. R. R. tracks near the Saugatuck station, June 2, according to the findings of Coroner J. J. Phelan, made public here today
 Coroner Phelan in the text of his findings shows that Courtney left Nor walk for Bridgeport on the evening of June 1 and left train No. 66 at Sauga- tuck about 9:2o. In the opinion of the stationl officials and others who ob- served him Courtney was in "dazed" condition. The station master and others, noting that he was not fully in control of the faculties gave him di- rections to reach Bridgeport. Court ney was at the Saugatuck post office about 9:45 waiting for trolley car to Bridgeport The office is about 75 feet from the station.
 Thecoroner said it was apparent that Courtney wandered back to the station and either sat at the edge or stood at the edge of the platform on the west side when the 9:58 train came along. He was struck by a truck on a mail car in that train. The en- gineer and fireman of the train said that they did not observe the man as the station was not lighted.
 The coroner says that in view of an the fscts chtainei he would ind ,hst no one was cr;ni1aliy responsible for the death and there was no evi- dence of carelessness on the part of any one save the deceased himself.
