Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March 25.-A special
cable to the New York Tribune says;
The German cabinet at a meeting
today decided to reject the revised
war bill payments for 1922 as framed
by this allied reparation commission
and dispatched from Paris Tuesday.
At the direction of Chancellor Wirth.
note is being drafted to be sent
10 Paris probably on Monday. advis-
ing the reparations commission that
the conditions laid down by the COM
mission as the basis upon which the
allies will concede a moratorium on
part of the payments due in 1922
under the terms of the treaty of
Versailles and the London ultimatum
are utterly unacceptable to Germany.
The German communication will
inform the commission that the guar
antees demanded encroach on the
sovereignty of the German republic
and therefore will not be granted.
The note also will contend that it is
impossible for the Berlin cabinet to
impose additional taxes of 60,000-
000, 900 marks this year in addition
to the present levy of SS,000,000,-
900 marks, and that this phase of the
reparations commissions note cannot
be complied with.
New Proposals to Be Drafted.
The German government will set
forth a new set of proposals to the
commission outlining the payments
which Germany is able and ready to
make and explaining why it is i'm
possible for Germany to accept the
commissions program.
In view Of the ten weeks allowed
Germany to reach an understanding
with the allies and to meet the terms
agreed upon, it is hoped in govern
ment circles that some concessions
will be won from the reparations COM
mission Immediately. What attitude
the cabinet will assume toward the
threat of the commission to reimpose
the original schedule of 1929 pay
ments and use force to collect this
bill is not known, but in political
circles there is considerable doubt
whether Chancellor Wirth could
weather the storm that his acceptance
Of tho allied demands would arouse.
The cabinets note, now in prepara-
tion, Is the chancellor's first break
away from his policy Of fulfillment of
Germany's obligations. r'.,

Under the reparation commissions
program of demands Germany would
pay in 1922 72o.o0o.ooo gold marks
cash and 1,450,0o0.e00 gold marks in
goods, instead of 2,000,00o.000 gold
marks cash plus Is per cent Of the
value of all exports, as previously
agreed upon by the allies and ac-
cepted by Germany. The commission
has given Germany until May 81 to
accept the revised demands, give the
required guarantees and meet the
terms.
In German government circles 1t is
pointed out that efforts are being
made howard national economies, but
the supervision of German national
fiscal affairs as demanded by the
reparations commission could not be
allowed. AS for the complaint against
the expectation Of capital, it is said
that Germany has taken steps to
prevent this practice and to bring
about the repatriation Of some capital
that has beeE invested In other eotln-
tries In previous years.
