terms and act upon it. 1t seemed to

on pathway which must inevitably

who are anxious for conclusions never

To International Tribunal
Now Germany states categorically
that If her cash tender is unaccept-

leave the question of the amount she
is capable of paying to an interna~
tional tribunal on which America is
represented, and to abide by the de

How can a note containing so

be treated as if it were an insult to
the dignity of France and Belgium?
To declare-as the French note
does-that the Hughes proposition is
an abrogation OF the Treaty Of Yer
sailles, is to ignore the provisions of
that treaty. AS matter or fact it
would be a restoration of the treaty.
AS 7 have repeatedly pointed out,
that treaty relegated the question of

The sum offered by Germany in
settlement of separations is no doubt
inadequate. 1t cannot be accepted by
any Of the allies in discharge Of the
German obligations under the treaty.
The German Government must make
a very substantial advance on that
offer before 1t can hope to come to
terms with the allied government

sure they did not put forward these
figures as final tender They mean
them to be taken as the beginning

Not Sufficient Reason
The fact Germany put forward

needs and equities of the case. is not
sufficient reason for declining to meet
her representatives at a conference
to determine what the right sum
