ment was expressed to THE New YoRK
HERALD correspondent to-day by Gus
tav Stresemann. chairman of the Peo-
ple's party.
"The time has come" he said. for
the financial forces outside of Ger
many to get active. The fall of the
mark is expected because of the bur
den imposed by reparations. The bud
get has been balanced with this excep-
tion. 1t shows a surplus of 5000, ,o00.-
900 paper marks and even a safe trade
balance. But II we continue the pres
ent ten day payments we are making
against the reparations account.
amounting to 90O,000,o 600 marks gold
in cash per annum over and above de-
liveries in kind, and if the program of
the Cannes conference IS adopted, we
would still have 720, ,000. 900 marks gold
in cash and 1850. 100000 in goods to
pay per annum That means a fall in
our mark. which might go as far as
$50 10 the dollar.
"A new fall In the mark would ruin
all the hard work OF the winter which
was devoted to getting a sound financial
program adopted In Germany. We
finally set up a budget that ties the
loose ends together and requires a busi-
ness administration. and We adopted the
forced loan. But a forced loan cannot
help much If the mark falls again This
financial program became possible only
by concentrating the greatest political
power that had been united upon any
concerted plan OF that nature The OPP
position was limited 10 the Conservatives
and the Communists.
IF the loan should fail there are
many members Of my party who would
agree with the Conservatives that IL
simply docs not pay to make any effort
to meet our obligations. They will say
we are throwing money into bottom
less pit. In the same manner the So
cialists would lose TO the Communists
for the Radicals could say that the only
result of cooperation between the So
caiists and what they call the SHINES
party has been a new rise in prices. ac-
companied by distress and disturbances.
That would make governing In Germany
icxt to impossible"
The remedy. he declared, was a re-
cuction In reparations. He blamed the
French peasant and French politics for
obstruction to such revision, saying
The French peasant pays less IN taxes
than almost any other Individual In the
world. and he has been told all along
that he would not have TO pay more.
II the French Ministers should tell him
TOW that he would have 70 pay very
much more he would call those Minis
ters either rogues or fools-rogues for
having deceived him about German repa-
rations, or fools for not knowing that
the payments cannot be collected"

Paris, March II.
The Moscow delegates will not par
ticipate In the Genoa conference un-
less the other nations guarantee not
TO interfere in any way with the
Soviet form of government or the
Soviet's rights to control the property
rights OF Russian civilians.
This is the ultimatum virtually laid
down by Georgevitch Tchitcherin, So
Wet Minister of Foreign Affairs. in a
wireless message to Premier Poin-
care. This makes the success of the
Genoa conference more doubtful than
ever, as II Is generally considered that
the Cannes stipulations provided a
maximum basis of guarantees under
which the rest of Europe would con-
sent to meet Moscow's representatives
around a council table.
Tchltcherin expresses willingness to
enter into political and economic rela-
tlons with all governments deciding to
attend the Genoa conference and which
realize that the blockade system has
prove futile and that Russia can no
longer be boycotted. He declares, how
ever, that conferences of experts from
the big and little Ententes. already held.
from which Russia was excluded. show
that there is an intention to confront
Russia with new. we'll defined system
or boycotting This. says Tchitcherin, is
sufficient to render the meeting useless
as the Genoa conference, above all, must
be different from other European con-
ferences by giving equality 10 all.
whether victors or vanquished.
The telegram protests vigorously
against newspaper reports that the So
Wet regime Is crumblng and that at
tendance Of the Russian delegates at the
conference is merely an effort to attract
foreign capital On the contrary. Tchit-
cherin declares, Russia is already on the
way TO regeneration despite the fact that
military bands are being formed in ad
jacent territories with the intention OF
invading Russian soil.
He pretends that Russia has no an
tipathy for the remainder OF Europe as
long as the interior regime is not in
terfered with. In fact, he adds. the OBJ
jectionable extraordinary commissions
which were necessary In the initial
stages OF the revolution are no longer
maintained and the Government is pre-
pairing a legal codification which viii

string TO aid reconstructive work He
protests vigorously against misrepre-
sentations OF conditions In Russia which
he says are inspired py bourgeois gov

Police to Drag To-day for Ac-
counts Of Randall, Seized
in Rochester.
EMPLOYEE ACCUSES HIM
Broker Made Quotations and
Wrote Own Bills, Says
Fraud Witness.

District Attorney Banton will ask
the harbor police to-day to drag the
East River for the books of David B.
Randall broker, who was arrested
yesterday in Rochester charged with
operating a bucket shop at 32 Broad
way in this city.
According to Randall's office man
ager, the ledger and day book, in
which alleged fake sales were entered,
were tied In a bundle. weighted down
with bricks and dumped off the dock
by an office boy few days ago when
it became evident to Randall that the
might be of interest TO the Grand
Jury.
The office managers name Is Fried
man. Mr.. Banton said. Randall's real
name Is Ronzone. and his methods. ac-
cording to Friedman, were simple but
effective. He never attempted to exc
cute an order and there was not even a
blackboard for stock quotations in the
CuStOmerS room.
These quotations came over the teie-
phone. usually several minutes late and
sometimes Randall merely guessed al
the price. said Friedman. Most of the
orders came over the phone, too, and
then Randall would decide on a fair
price, send the customer a bill, and
eventually pocket the money. He often
used to toss a coin to see whether the
customer should pay a fraction of q
point more or less. Friedman testified
The complainant is Alfred A. Her
man. $50 West Eighty-eighth street. who
signed an affidavit charging Randall
alias Ronzone, with grand larceny since
January / to the amount of $1,000.
Herman said his total loss was $500
and covers a period OF six weeks begin
ming early last December.
The hue and cry raised against buck
eteers frightened Randall away from
New York. according to Friedman. He
was at the Hotel Seneca in Rochester
when Detectives Brown and Mayer OF
the District Attorneys staff arrested
him on a warrant issued by Magistrate
Oberwager in Tombs Court. Before he
left the city, however. he tried to destroy
the evidence against him.
Friedman will take the office boy to
the District Attorneys office to-day to
show the police the exact spot where the
books were sunk so they can grapple for
them.
IL was said Randall had planned to
open six offices in Rochester and start
business on a more ambitious scale with
the money he cleaned up in New York.
but his arrest nipped these schemes. He
will be brought back to-day.
