 Mir. Stokes is not to appeal the di- vorce or separation issues, nor is either party to appeal from the terms agreed upon.

Sees Internal Situation Hopeless and Realizes France Will Give No Aid
Denies Dickering for Ameri- can Loan But Hopes U. $. Will Get Into InternatiOn- al Conference.
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press
 Berlin. Nov. 22.-In the course of a vigorous defense of his administra- tion from the Reichstag today, Chancellor Stresemann welcomed the renewed American interest in the rep- aration problem and said he hoped an international conference would be convoked.
 He also took the occasion to deny reports published in the German press that the government had been offi- cially approached by American finan- ciers, and added that he had not been informed Of any impending interna- tional financial action.
 The address. which occupied two hours in delivery. dealt at length with both the foreign and internal situa- tions. and was wholly in the nature of vindication of the Chaneellur's policies.
 To Ask Confidence Vote
 The government is to demand positive vote of confidence from the Reichstag, the outcome Of which is yet in doubt. Dr, Stresomann was lib- orally applauded by the three governs ment parties. but their combined vote Is insufficient to give him a majority vote.
 The Reichstag was heavily picketed with security police in order to pres vent the entry Of tho Communist Dep- uty Rcmmele, who was barred from the session in consequence of his obs structiVe tactics yesterday.
