note TO ALLIES
ON RHINE CLAIM
Sec'y Hughes Sets Forth That
Justice of Claim Is Fully
Recognized.
EXPECTS FULL PAYMENT
Notes Represent Occupation
of Territory Expressly
Provided For.

WASHINGTON. March 22-The
American army of occupation was
sent into Germany and was contin-
ued there upon the basis 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 jus
tice of its claims is not fully recog-
niZed, according TO Identical COM
muuicatiOns delivered Wednesday 10
the governments of Belgium, Great
Britain. France. Italy and Japan by
American diplomatic representatives.
The notes were delivered under
instructions from Sec'y Hughes of
the department of state, and were
occasiOned by recent information
from American observers in Europe
that the allied governments appar-
entity contemplated arrangements
which ignore American army costs
altogether although estimates both
for army costs and PREPARATIONS. were
being made on the basis OF the en-
tire capacity of the German govern
ment TO pay.
No Dispute Anticipated.
The amount of the claims Of the
United States for its army costs, the
notes declared, was understood TO
be free from any substantial dispute,
but it was deemed TO be appropriate
lin view of recent developments, q"
20 acquaint the allied governments
with the repeatedly reiterated state
ment 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
armistice agreement, to which the
United States was signatOry, and
which provided for military occupa-
ton of Germany by the allied and
American forces Jointly. That agree
ment the notes recited expressly
provided that the upkeep of the
troops of occupation in the Rhine
district should be charged to the
German government. and it was eX-
pressed as the view of the American
government that the armistice agree
ment had the clear import that the
powers associated in that joint en-
terprise should stand upon an equal
footing as TO the payment of all the
actual costs of their armies of oc-
cupaton."
The notes set forth that the total
cost of all armies of occupation from
Nov II. 1918, to May /. 1921.
amounted to G639,2S2. gold
marks; that the amounts due Bel
GUM France and Italy for their
army costs for that period had been
paid i'm full. and that the unpaid
balance due May I. 1922. amounted
to 1,66O,O9O.OOO gold marks. of which
966,374,00 gold marks were due TO
the United States and the remainder
due the British empire 1t was
pointed out also that the British gov
ernment had received 13O,696,0O0
gold marks between May 1 and De-
cember 81. 1927. and that the pay.
ment was expressly made and re-
ceived subject to hte rights of the
