Await Word

Paris, Jan. 4.-Germany's repre-
scntatives in Paris are awaiting
word from the allied premiers be-
fore presenting the new German
proposal for a reparations settle
ment no reply having yet been re-
ceived to the request Of the German
ambassador that DR.. Carl Bergman,
the. German spokesman, be heard by
the conference.
DR.. Bergman sad today that re-
fusal to hear him would result in
him consulting his government be-
fore he could put the proposals in
writing .,aj.
It was said in German circles that
if the conference broke up before
the premier's reply to the German
request the proposals probably
would not be presented at all.
The German officials are frankly
pleased with the British proposals
but express little hope that the Brit
ish plan, even in it's main points,
Will be accepted by France. They
fear that France is determined to
take independent action unless the
French plan is accepted by the al
lies.

ATTACK BRITISH PLAN

Paris, Jan. 3.-The cabinet council
of French ministers this morning
insisted Premier Poincare move in
the conference this afternoon the
+. adoption of the French reparations
plan as the minimum acceptable to
France. In the event the meeting
does not accept this plan Premier
Poincare was directed to ask the
conference to register formally lack
of agreement among the allies. The
council which met under the chair
manship of President Millerand de-
cided that the British reparations
plan was an abandonment of the
treaty of Versailles.
