proclaimed n republic In the BavarInn
Palntinate, adjoining the Rhlneland on
the south. The French representative
on the Rhineland commission gave the
movement his approval. but 1t was
squelched the same day when the To-
cal parliament refused to support II.
GERMANY, through Chancellor
~ Stresemann. appealed to the al
lies to examine the nations resources
and capacity to pay reparatons, and
asked that the government be permit
ted to explain the measure adopted to
stabilize money and balance the
budget. The chancellor's note frankly
admitted Germany's indemnity obliga-
tlons, but urged the impossibility of
continuing payments at this time. Ow-
ing to the financial and economic col
lapse. The note, which was presented
to the rcparationS commission, said

Belgian plan md We're ready 10 make
comments and suggestions on II. II
was said this communication made Il
favorable impression on the British.
Belgian, Italian and Japanese repre-
seniatives. This would seem to put
Premier PoIncare in an uncomfortable
position. II he opposes the German
request he may find himself quite iso-
lated; lf he does not. the yielding
means n great political defeat for him,

on reparations questions.
Secretary Hughes suggestion OF an
International commission to examine
and determine Germany's capacity to
pay Is increasing daily. And 1t .s as
sumed the United States would be rep
resented on such II commission. Am
bassador Harvey told II London audi
ence that the proposition. which is
backed warmly by Lloyd George, Is
still open. and President Coolidge has
unqualiiiedly indorsed what Mr.. Har-
vcy said. Then. after an Interview
with Lloyd George, Secretary Hughes
made public the fact that Great Brit.
ain had asked the United States
whether 1t was still willing to partici-
pate In an advisory economic confer
encc on rcparntions. and that he had
replied in the affirmative with the un-
derstanding that all the powers di-
rcctly interested concur In the plan
and take part in the conference. II
France or any other Interested power
stands out. the question OF American
participation will require further con-
sideration. II is believed France will
concur.
