NOT SATISFACTORY

Berlin, June S-Reichstag leaders
believe the note delivered at the al
lied capitals yesterday marked an
advance over the German govern
ment's previous reparation communi-
cations especially since it more firm
ly stresses the Rights goodwill and
readiness to arrive at the solution
of the problem and also because the
subject of guarantees is given in
concrete form.
Despite this parliamentary circles
are not displaying an excessive op-
timism concerning the reception Of
the memorandum by the creditor
powers. In these quarters it is be-
lieved that France effectually block
ed any attempt by England to create
a favorable atmosphere for early
negotiations by seeking to influence
Belgium and Italy.

regard it as distinct advance
over any previous proposal. The
suggestion Of conference at which
