Worst Storm Since 1899

WASHINGTON. Jan. More than
twenty four hours OF continuous snow
had covered the Middle Atlantic sec

Copyright. 1929. Now York Tribune tno.
BERLIN, Jan. 29.-The German gov
ernment, IN tho note 1t has sent to the
Rcpsrations Commission, requests that
Germany be relieved OF the necessity
Of making cash payments on heY rep
arations account during 1922. The note,
which is a reply to the demand made
by tho commission that the German
government give a detailed explanation
as to why IL cannot meet its repars-
tion payments, declares that it is "un-
doubtedly essential" that the relief
from, cash payment. during the CUT
rent year be granted.
The government also insists that the
cost of the armies OF occupation be
included In the future payments, which
has not been The case heretofore. Its
position is that the entire reparations
problem must be taken up again and
that n partial solution is worthless.
Officials pointed out that the interior
budget is not in order, but that the sur
plus is not sufficient to meet tho repa-
rations demands and that the continu-
Ing fall Of the mark automatically in
creases expenditures without an In
crease in income. Germany proposes
to pay in goods instead Of cash, wher-
ever possible, to avoid the effects Of
cash payments on the worlds money
market.
The government adopted a unique
procedure to-day in explaining the con-
tents Of the note to the American and
English newspaper correspondents be-
fore publication and requesting that

man press. A vigorous attempt vss
made at the same time to impress on
the correspondents the fact that the
comparatively lesser amount Of indirect
taxation ~ Germany is cxplRiDable by
the buI.en Of direct taxation.

Fress) The German note to the Repa-
rations Commission, besides requesting
puyrn ents In 1922, asks for general
reduction ia cash payments and al in
crease In payments in kind.
The note suggests that tho Allies
take measures to reatore Germapy's IN
tcrnal and external credit and thereby
facilitate the floating Of 2 big inter
national reparaticn loan. 1t announces
that Germany will raise an internal
