NOTES SENT TO THE ALLIES
UNITED STATES CLAIMS RIGHT
TO COMPENSATION FOR ARMY
IN RHlNELAND.
Troops Were Sent Into Germany Upon
Basis Of Right to Be Paid the
Actual Cost"

Washington. - The American army
of occupation was sent into Germany
and was continued there upon the ba
sis of the right Of the United States
to be paid its actual cost upon an
equal footing with the allies and this
government lis unable to conclude
that the justice Of its claim is not full
ly recognized according TO identlc
communications delivered by diplo-
matte representatives to the govern.
ments of Belgium, Great Britain,
France and Japan.
The notes were delivered under in
structons from Secretary of State
Hughes and were occasioned by re-
cent information from American OBJ
servers in Europe that the allied gov
ernments apparently contemplated ar.
rangements which would ignore Amer
lean army costs, although estimates
both for army and navy costs and re-
parations were being made on the ba.
sis Of the entire capacity of the Ger
man government to pay.
The amount OF the claims of the
United States for its army cost, the
notes declared, was understood TO be
free from any substantial dispute, but
it was deemed to be appropriate, in
view of recent Developments to ac-
quaint the allied governments with the
repeatedly reiterated statements that
the government of the United States
was expecting full payment of the
costs of its army in the Rhineland.
Basis for the American claim, the
notes pointed out, was found in the
agreement to which the
United States was signatory and
which provided for military occupa-
tion of Germany by the allied and
forces jointly. That agree
ment the notes recited, expressly pro-
vided that the upkeep OF the troops
OF occupation in the Rhine districts
should be charged to the German gov
eminent and it was expressed as the
view of the American government that
the armistice agreement had the
clear import" that the powers asso-
ciated in the joint enterprise should
stand upon equal footing as to the
payment Of all actual costs of their
armies OF occupation"
