Chancellor Cuno to-day amplified the
statement he made yesterday TO THE
NEW YoRK HERALD correspondent py
declaring that ne had made no PROPOSE
tion TO the American Government, the
United States Chamber of Commerce
or any other organization or person
concerning the appointment OF an ap-
praisement commission TO determine
Germany's status and fix new basis
for reparations payments.
In view OF the conflicting rumors
no Government official is willing to go
further In the discussion Of the plan
than to indicate receptiveness II such
a proposition were to come from
source outside OF Germany.
In no quarter is opposition shown TO
such. a plan except by the German
Chamber Of Commerce. whose Kepre-
sentative told THE NEW YORK HERALD
correspondent that IL considers the
United States Chamber OF Commerce TO
be distinctly hostile as a result OF the
report made last year by the committee
headed BY Edward F'ilene OF Boston.
which the German organization In
terpreted as being decidedly pro-French.
The American Embassy has not been
called upon 20 transmit any proposition
by Chancellor Cuno. as would be the
customary procedure. no matter TO
whom advances were made. The com
merciai attaches office has not been
consulted and the American Chamber
Of Commerce IN Berlin became cogniz-
ant Of the plan only through informal
talks with German business men.
While any definite action is denied
on all sides. Government and business
circles are prepared for signs Of a
lapprochement with America, there he
ing the utmost confidence that Chan
cellor Cunc's connections with Aincri-
can financicrs will result in at least

Amid n chorus OF hoots. jeers and
laughter. the House to-day prevented a
s360,o00 raid on the public Treasury for
free seeds for the constituencies of
members OF Congress.
Representative Langley (Ky) offered
an amendment to the agricultural bill
which was pending to authorize expen-
diture of s360.000 for the purchase Of
seeds and shrubs to be distributed back
home. Mr.. Langley. who appeared to be
full of the holiday spirit, said the dis
tribution of free seeds was an act of
"the highest. patriotism" He drew a
pathetic word picture of thousands OF
families who yearly grow gardens. being
compelled to do without vegetables II
the amendment were not adopted. Mr..
wingo (Ark.) characterized the seed
distribution as "a public nuisance"
Representative Begg (Ohio) offered
an amendment to prevent seeds being
mailed under Congressional franks. His
motion was defeated 81 to ~. which was
probably responsible for the whole
scheme being beaten.

BORDER STATES OF RUSSIA
Articles in the American Echo" Throws Light On The Activities
OF Soviet Russia Towards Destruction of General Welfare of
Territory Outside BOlshevik Russia

son why the majority of the Russian peo-
pie have not persisted from starvation is
because the farmers did not hand over
to the communists all their production
as demanded by the latter. This paper
emphasizes the fact that the Soviet is
doing nothing to save the people from
starvation. Certainly the purchasing of
100 airplanes, the construction of sub
marine docks and the manufacturing of
war materials by imported German work
ers, to be fed in Russia. will not assist
in feeding the starving mu1titudes.
Chaos Prevails.
In view Of the above mentioned activi-
ties of the bolshevik, especially what is
seen from their aims towards the crea-
ton of disorder everywhere, it is not
unlikely that their propaganda may be at
work in America. The communistic
Russia, caring nothing for the lives and
well-being of any community, not even
for their own people, as seen from the
above. would love to see nothing better
than the reduction Of the American pros
perity to the chaos Of the deplorable
state prevailing in Russia today.
