German Reply to
Preparations Note

Paris, May 10.-(By A. P.)-The
German reply to the reparations note
OF April -, which has been received
by the reparations commission, pro-
tests the good will Of the German
government, but pleads the material
impossibility of imposing sixty billion
marks new taxes before May 81 or
complying with all the conditions
laid down on March 81.
The German government. the. reply
says. is con yinced of the necessity Of
covering expenditures without further
monetary imitation. Having regard
however, for the German economic sit
uation and financial obligations abroad,
it is considered inevitable that impor-
tant payments due by Germany in for
eign currency cannot be met without
the aid Of foreign loans.
while it will be impossible. in
view of recent heavy increases in
taxation, to impose sixty billion
marks fresh taxation before May y
as the commission has demanded"
the reply continues, Germany is
prepared before that date to submit
to the commission complete
scheme to cover expenditure with
out further monetary imitation.
The German government notes
with satisfaction that the commission
desires to support Germany in regu-
lating her finances, and to this end
will be prepared to afford the COM
mission all the facilities for investi-
cation it may ask for, and will be
prepared to consult the commission
with regard to legislative projects
in financial matters during the time
of the regulation of reparations pay
ments as provided by the commits
sion's decision of March 21."
In conclusion the German govern
ment declares that it will do its best
to comply with the conditions of the
commissions note of March u. 1t
is of the opinion. however. that some
of the conditions are incapable of
fulfllment, but relies on the commits
sions offer in its letter of April IS,
ITO examine any practicable sugges-
tons which may be put forward by
the German government for meeting
the difficulties in which it is placed. "
The German government expresses
regret that owing to the prolonged
absence of several of its members at
Genoa it has not been possible to OBJ
serve some of the time limits laid
down by the note of March u, and
requests that reasonable extension
of these limits be granted by the
commission

GENOA CONFERENCE
BELIEVED NEAR The
BREAKING POINT

Genoa, May 10.-(By A. PD-The
economic conference cannot stand
many more days of strain such as 1t
has undergone in connection with the
framing of the Allied memorandum
to the Russian delegates and the ru-
mors connected with the Russians
reply which has been eagerly awaited
for three days, but was not presented
today.
The great question bearing on the
reply is: What will the attitude of
the Russians be toward foreigners
property nationalized by the Soviet
government? Clause seven of the
memorandum was drafted and re-
drafted to meet the objections of the
French and Belgians. The Belgians
finally refused approval and the
French approved it with reservations.
Every effort has been made by the
Allies, and the Germans as well, to
have the Russians make concessions
relative to the restitution of the
property of foreigners in order to
prevent disruption of the conference.
Repeated changes have been made
in the Russians reply to clause seven.
VI. Tchitcherin conferred with the
Italian foreign minister, Signnr
Schanzer, today and it is reported
that further changes are being made
in the reply tonight for the purpose
Of Cancellation. There also are many
indications that the French and Bel
sians are becoming less insistent, and
the general feeling in conference cir
Giles tonight is that the Russian an
swer which is expected tomorrow,
will be of such nature that it will
at least form a basis for the con-
tinuance of the discussions.
Much Of the Russian reply already
has become known. but the answer
to the property clause still is under
going modification.
M. Barthou head of the French del
egation. forwarded a letter to Pres
ident Facta protesting - lcngth of
time taken by the Soviet delegation
to answer the memorandum. lie in
sisted that the delay was not justified
and was retarding the work of the
conference.
