ton Which Will Watch
Developments.
BY the Associated Press.

Paris. Jan. Premier POincare OF
France. offered at today's conference
of Allied leaders proposal for reduc-
ton of German reparatiOns 10 fifty
billion gold marks.
The French plan offers twO-year
moratorium, but it exacts productive
guarantees TO insure the resumption OF
payments later by the Germans.
Under the French plan the Class {
bonds would be used TO extinguish the
inter-Ailied debts.
The Glass c bonds mentioned in the
French recaratiOns plan are part of q
series provided for under he London
Iiltimatum TO Germany issued by the
Allies on May ,, 1921. when the total
of German reprations was liked at
H.. 100000 gold marks. 1t was pro-
Vidcd that Germany create three classes
Of rpparations bonds, based on para
graph II OF annex 2, of pOrtNlll Of
the treaty of Versailles.
The first class of bonds. or Class 4.
for 12.0OO, 100000 gold marks, were to
be delivered by July l.
The diplomatic barometer seemed in
cllneu 10 take an upward squirt louuE

Italy and Belgium gathered for the con-
ference of permiers. which will grapple

Herrick Arrives at Paris.
Although there was wide divergence
of viewpoint. particularly between the
French and British. as to how and
when Germany shall meet her ObllSa-
tons. the first signs of movement to
bring them into harmony appeared to
be the result of what lie Matin calls

UPBRAIDS COUNTRY
 FOR LEAGHE APATHY

TOXIC. Feb. IT. Viscount Ishii Ambassador to France, who is home on furlough, has been taking his own government, the press and the peo' pie to task for their lack of interest in the doings of the Council of the League of Nations. He complains that the foreign office ignored the re, quest when attending the sessions of the council, for information as to press and public opinion of the league, giving the council "an unpleasant i'm pression of lack of interest in the council in this country"
 He added that the European nations, which at first attached little interest to the council because of it's weak ness, had awakened to it's usefulness after the settlement of the Upper Si- lesian question. q do not hesitate to say" he concluded, that the pres ent condition of the council is much more hopeful than is generally be- lieved in Japan.
