the French was voiced with signi-
ficant emphasis today by Fritz
Thyssen in the course of an inter-
view.

preached the government several
weeks ago with a proposal for ne
gOtiations based on a foreign loan,
the third OF which would be handed
over to France. Chancellor Cuno re-
fused to consider it.
Her Thyssen still believes that a
foreign loan would be the most sat

French demands. Admitting that
Germany must pay. he suggested the
appointment of IL commission to de-
eide the total liabilities and to ar
range for the f1ootation of a loan,

guarantee.
France could hold the left bank
of the Rhine as a pledge, quitting
