London.-British diplomats were re-
iuctant to express an opinion relative
10 Germany's reparation offer, beyond
saying they considered that In certain
points it represented an advance over
previous proposals.
Until the foreign office experts have
nnalyzed the new note, those in au-
thority prefer not TO commit them
selves regarding what steps, II any,
England will take toward the solution
OF the thorny indemnitIes problem.
II can be said. nevertheless, that the
British government would favor the
settlement of allies difficulties with
Germany ny an international confer
on Berlin's proposals or by adopt
ing the suggestion of Secretary of
State Hughes that Germany's capacity

tional commission of experts.

GERMANY BIDS FOR
NEW PEACE FARLEY
Conference With Thos4 Entitled to RE,
celve Preparations Would Give
Voice TO Germany .

Washington.-An official text of the
new German proposals TO the allies on
PREPARATIONS was before state depart
ment officials, transmitted by the Ger
man minister, DIR. Otto weidfeldt, as
4 matter OF information. While off,
cial comment was withheld, there can
be no doubt that the clause In the Ger
man note declaring that q method of
payment could be determined only by
direct consultations with those who
are to receive payments" attracted
Wild attention In official circles.
The tote was handed to the state de-
partment by Or. weidfeldt In the same
way II was presented by German dip
iomats at all foreign offices and its
receipt does not call for any acknowl-
ehgment or diplomatic correspondence.
The purpose Of the German govern
ment in transmitting copies to all gov
ernments is merely to abide by the GUS
tom OF diplomatic courtesy and to
make sure that all governments have
an official translation of the German
proposals In their keeping.
In view OF the position taken by the
American government before the oc-
cupation of the Ruhr. the German dec
laration for a direct. oral discussion of
methods of PREPARATIONS payments could
not fail to attract attention here. The
American suggestion 10 the French
government prior to the occupation of
the Ruhr was that a conference of in
terested nations be called to seek n
.business-like solution of the problem.
The German suggestion contained 10
the current PREPARATIONS proposal from
Berlin is in line with the theory that
impelled the American government to
make Its formal suggestion for such a
conference.
