BERLIN IS SEEKING
AMERICAN FAVOR.
FRENCH DECLARE
Cuneo Offers 3O,O00,000,-
600 Marks In Gold To
P0incare Government

PARIS, May 2.-(By Associated
Press. 1.-The proposals contained in
the German note which was delivered
at the foreign office at 4 o'clock this
afternoon, in the German language,
are regarded in French official cir
cles for Anglo Saxon and neutral
consumption only. The terms of the
note appeared so preposterous" to
the French government that it was
assumed there was no hope or desire
on the part of Berlin that they be
accepted.
The scheme amounts to the reopen
ing of the whole question of repara-
lions as settled by the Treaty of YER
sailles," a high official said. The
plan is aggravated by the suggestion
that in case of failure of a loan which
no one here thinks can be floated
successfully, the question of payment
by Germany would be referred to
commission on which would be repre-
scented neutrals who are loaded up
with marks and have every interest
of boosting them by getting Ger
many off as easily as possible"
Not slightest Progress.
Another Official said: There Is not
the slightest progress toward settle
ment in this proposition. On the
contrary, there is an effort at a
movement backward and it is impos-
sible for the French government to
consider 1t for a moment"
Premier Poincare is studying the
translation of the note as it is being
made, and is reserVing comment until
he has the whole document before
him, but those about him did not con-
ceal the unfavorable impression
which the note had made. They are
all of the opinion that the reply will
be flatly negative.
NJ. Poincare probably will confer
with Frances allies before giving his
answer, but it is thought it will be
unnecessary to consult with Great
Britain as the proposals have as their
object the evacuation of the Ruhr in
the occupation of which Great Britain
has not participated and for similar
reasons there will be no exchange of
views with Washington.
Proposal Unacceptable.
1t is regarded as doubtful If the
premier will consider it necessary to
make a detailed reply. but If he does
he will point out that the proposal is
Unacceptable from the viewpoint of
the amount of money offered and the
conditions under which it is offered
and that there is nothing In the pro-
posals to form a basis for serious ne
gotiations; that the idea of beginning
a settlement by floating a loan is
fallacious; that this would be impos-
sible until ample security for 1t was
assured, and that Germany ought
first occupy herself with renovatinR
her finances to make loan possible
1t was stated by one of the premier's
close aides that the treaty of YER
sales contained concessions by
France and that other concessions
had been made since which had en-
couraged German resistance. He
added that there was a strong convic-
ton Chancellor Cuno thinks he can
again draw England into the nego-
tiations and obtain further negotia-
tions, but thSt France is not ready to

SENTIMENT AGAINST

AMONG REPUBLICANS

shire delegation to the convention
pledged to support another man than
Harding. Senator Brandegee, the re-
publican wheel horse of Connecti-
cut. Is bitter against the court pro-
posal. and is said to be talking of a
betrayal on the part of the Presi-
dent. He is counted upon to see that
the Connecticut delegation is
charged to vote against the Presi-
dent.
Pennsylvania Opposition.
Mr.. Harding is not popular with
the senators from Pennsylvania, Mr..
Pepper and Mr.. Reed. The President
furnished the straw which broke the
camers back. its said, when over
the protest of the senators, he ap-
pointed Alexander z. Moore min

mary in Pennsylvania, Moore bitterly
opposed the nomination of Pepper
New York, New Jersey, Maryland
and West Virginia republicans are
said to hold the President and his
administration responsible for the de-
feat of the party in those states with
the subsequent elimination of re-
publican governors and senator's.
This is said to be especially true Of
New York, which fostered the hope
that former Governor Miller would
some day rise to the position of chief
magistrate of the nation.
The President is weak in Indiana.
He crossed Senator watson and Rep
resentative Wood when he made
Senator New member of the cabi-
net following his defeat for nominal
ton for second term as senator.
Likewise, he is said to have flown in
the face of Albert Beveridge. Indi-
ana is always doubtful and at pres
emit is democratic. The socalled
breaks" of the administration are
said to have made more chaotic an
already chaotic situation.
Nelson. Death Is Blow.
1t Is common knowledge that the
administration has little strength in
the radical northwest. The death of
Senator Knute Nelson, who was able
to hold Minnesota fairly well in line,
Will prove blow to administration
hopes. 1t is said that the element
which selected Senator Shipstead
will, without the handicap of the in
fluence of Senator Nelson, take
charge of the state, and see that a
radical delegation goes to the next
convention. Senator LaFollette has
Wisconsin in the palm of his hand.
Senator Johnson will control Cali

master minds" that Harding, noting
the handwriting on the wall, will
eliminate himself. Otherwise, it is
said, they will ditch" him for the
good of the party-in hope that a
certain defeat might be averted.
1t is said to be the positive con-
yiction Of those at the head of the
nti-Harding movement that If
Harding is re-nominated despite op-
position. nothing could prevent a
radical break and the nomination of
