sidered that the harbor is still clut-

Compared with November of the
preceding year, imports declined

This was largely due to the transfer
of shipments to Kobe and Osaka as

Sees Further Delay to ColIec'

PARIS. December 6.-The French
press today comments somewhat acri-
enormously upon the report that the
German government, encouraged by
the American government, intends to
ask the reparations commission to
accord priority rights to repayment
of the revictualinG loan which the
Germans are now negotiating with
American banks.
France recalls that it acquiesced
80 a similar request by tho United
States in 1919, with the result that
American business men were enabled
TO dump large quantities of otherwise
unstable food surpluses and that the
Reich shank gold reserve was imme-
diately decreased by a billion marks,
to the permanent detriment of Ger
nany's finances.
French reports indicate that Ger
many has just harvested one of the
best crops in years. Her barns are
described as bursting with grain. The
food shortage in the cities is attrib-
uted to the harsh attitude of the Ger
man farmers and big land owners.
who refuse to accept paper marks. but
demand payment in foreign currencies
for their products.
See Blow to France.
In the American governments re-
ported approval of the proposed loan
the French newspapers see first a de-
sire on the part of the republican ad-
Tninistration to help the American
farmers as a campaign measure and
second, a desire on the part OF all
concerned to impose further post
ponement of reparations payments to
France.
What with the Belgian priority and
the priority recently accorded the
United States for her Army costs, it
already will be some time before
France, which has expended a hun
dred billion francs from her own cof-
fers since the war on Germany'S ac-
count, can hope to receive cash pay
ments from. Germany. The Echo de
Paris says that German citizens have
funds in American banks more than
sufficient to guarantee the proposed
loan. and suggests that the question
should be referred to the proposed
reparations commission subcommittee
for investigation of German resources
abroad
