REGRETS RESIGNATION
SECRETARY MONTAGU

Arsa. British India, March 11-(By
A. P.J-The Earl of Reading. vicerOy
of India, replying to an address of
welcome on his arrival here today
referred to the deep sense of his per-
sonal loss through the resignation Of
Edwin s. Montagu as secretary for
India. The resignation had complete
" surprised him. he said. Whatever
the criticisms that had been passed
here or in England, Mi Montagu's
devotion to midas cause could not
be doubted.
During his term in the vicerOyalty,
the viceroy said, he had been in
constant and intimate association
with Mr.. Montagu and rumors of
differences between the home gov
crnment and the Indian government
regarding the policy to he pursued
concerning nom CO. operat and the
leaders of the non operation
movement were absolutely without
ground.
The imperial government fully ap-
proved of the policy of the govern
ment in India. and there was no
foundation whatever for the sugges-
ton that the government in India
had been hampered in this respect
by the home government.

First Billion of
German ReparatiOns

Paris. March 11.-(By A. P)-The
allied finance ministers signed an
agreement this afternoon for the dis
tribution of the first billion gold
marks of German reparations. The
agreement disregards the American
claim of priority for its expenses n

ing of this money is concerned, put

clause which states that all the agree
ments on this question are subject to
the American rights as the various
governments may establish them. tie
finance ministers considering that
they have no power to decide this
question.
The ministers decided. after long
discussion. that the question was not
for the reparations commission to de-
eide. because that body was acting
solely under the treaty of Versailles
to which the United States was no
longer a party. consequently it was
decided that the question was one for
the various governments concerned to
settle.
Could Not Reopen Deliberations
The finance ministers also con-
cludcd that it was impossible for
them Ia any case to reopen the long
and difficult deliberations which re-
suited in the present agreement, so
they could only reserve American
rights and leave the question for
diplomacy to settle.
ihe agreement provides that tie
expenses of the armies of occupa-
ton after May /, 1921, shall be
divided as follows: One hundred and
two million Belgian francs to Bel
GUM, f2,000.00O to Great Britain
and 460,000,G00 French francs to
France. The distribution of deliver
les in kind by Germany IN 1922 will
be on the basis of IS per cent to
France and s. per cent to the other
allies. The Wiesbaden agreement
will continue in force for three years.
with the reservation that payments
will not exceed 350.000,000 gold
marks worth of material in 1922.

permitted to conclude arrangements
with Germany similar to the Wies-
baden agreement. provided such
agreements do not call for deliveries

provides. will be compelled to turn
