who had been spending the Christmas
holidays with his family and friends
in Hamburg, returned to the capital
and. at once resumed discussion of the
Preparations program with the few
ministers who were spending Christ
man in Berlin. -.
Although the government has not
yet been officially advised from Paris
that the entente premiers will be pre-
pared to receive fresh or amplified
proposals, the chancellor Is determin-
ed to be equipped with ammunition OF
this sort, and he proposes answering
any summons with ainplifeations of
his previous propositions and, also
with carefully Formulated offer for
the definite fixing of .the reparations
total, based upon his pkesent survey
of Germany's economic and financial
capacity, @S<. -
The chancellor together with FL
nance Minister HerTness ind Johannes
Becker, ministero of Economics, has
been occupied during t1ieapast ten days
with intimate conversations with In
dustrialists, bankers, shipping leaders
and Representatives ofSihiporting and
exporting industries, Sand has, also
kept the refchsfag leaders and the of
ficials of the General Federation Of
Labor Unions informed of, the nature
and progress of these, consultations.
. The chancellor also, has called In
the leaders of the Nationalist parties,
among them Dr.. Karl Helfferich, Count
Won Westarp1 and Professor Otto Ho-
etszch, and the government for the
time being may be said to have par
liamentary backing, 'even to the in
clusion Of the United Socialists, in its
determination to effect an intimate
adjustment, of, the whole range Of re-
partitions problems.
The, Internal situation has been
thof1HShiy canvassed during the prog.
ress Of the current discussions, and
the chancellor believes he has succeed
ed lin tnobilizing every ounce Of the
nations productive energy in response
to his appeal for cooperation.
The bulk of opinion, as reflected in
informal talks with officials and par
Elephants in the conferences, appears
to be emphatically in favor of the
final fixation of Germany's reparations
obligations. Until this Is done the
government, 1t is declared, will not be
in a position to attack such urgent
problems as the sterilization of the
Il mark, currency contraction and secur-
I; ing an equilibrium in the budget.
i, The reiteration Of the governments
! attitude has brought out declarations
( of undivided support from all the
party organs, which are urging the
chancellor to make it the pivotal point
In his program.

Chancellor of Exchequer Baldwin
Hints at Preparations Mission as
Next Step.
London, Dec. 2S.-The British tinan-
cial mission to the United States,
headed by Stanley Baldwin, chancel-
lor of the exchequer, sailed for New
York on the liner Majestic.
Besides the chancellor the party
included Mrs. Baldwin and daughter ;
Montagu c. Norman, governor of the
Bank of England; Rowe Dutton, tinan-
cial adviser, and p. J. Grigg, of the
treasury.
1t is expected the mission will re-
turn about the end of January.
Mr.. Baldwin, in statement to the
Evening Standard, says:
"NIy mission concerns cur l. o. us
held by the United States and is n
delicate one. We are in the position
OF debtors We must tread wurily.
Nevertheless, 1 hope to persuade the
United States government to come to
permanent settlement on the terms
Of our debt to America Of something
like S4,2SO,OOO,0O0.
"At present law Of congress pro-
vides this must be repaid within twen-
ty-five years at AZ per cent interest.
This would mean al annual payment
by Great Britain of between $30O,OOO-
900 to $3.50, 100000, very heavy item
in our budget. We hope to fund this
debt and get the burden Of interest
eased, but, Of course, the last word
1t with America.
+ "If we can effect q settlement on
such a matter, we shall set an exam
pie to Europe, an example which
might well be an augury for the set
Element Of even greater problems than
this one-international problems.
"If am successful, hope America,
having seen the result OF one mission,
will be kind enough to the much more
important mission which Mr.. Bonar
Law Is shortly to undertake (the
wod Preparations was here paren-
thetically inserted by the newspaper),
and which Is more difficult than mine.
"It is, of supreme Importance to
Europe that America should have a
say in the many .perplexing matters
now engaging the attention of states
men,"
