GERMAN CHIEFS
FACE SETBACK
AT The HAGUE
Two Events Indicate Defeat
for Political Program
of Delegation.
BY SAMUEL DASHIELL
United Press stan Correspondent

THE HAGUE. Jan. THE po-
litical victory upon which DR.. julius
CurtiuS and his German delegation
to the second Hague reparationS
conference had counted clearly was
out OF the question today
Two events indicated defeat for
the German program.
First was the summons OF Dr.
Hjalmar Schacht, president of the
Reichsbank, to The Hague.
Second was the decision OF Philip
Snowden, British chancellor of the
eXchequer, to join with Premier
Andre Tardieu of France in his de-
mand for additional sanctions mili-
tary guarantees) in the event Ger
many defaults on her payments I'M
der the Young plan.
Overplayed Hands
It is believed here that Great
Britain's agreement TO join France
in her stand for sanctions was due
to the fact that the German dele
CATION overplayed their hands
through their inSitence upon the
insertion of good will" clause in
the Preparations protocol, which
would have nullified, virtually, the
safeguards already in the Versailles
treaty.
Observers believe the Germans
placed too much stress on the
clause in the German American
treaty, which places Germany in
the same category with other
debtors to the United States. The
French, it is pointed out, originally
were willing not to mention Sanc-
lions in the protocol, relying entire
" upon the Versailles treaty for
guarantees.
French Become Suspicious
When the Germans stressed the
point, however, the French became
suspicious, and the result was a
surprising solidarity on the part of
the allied diplomats.
The coming of DR.. Schacht, who
has been a severe critic of the pres
ent German governments financial
policy. is blow to the prestige OF
the delegation. A bitter debate had
preceded the decision not to make
him one of the official delegation
to The Hague.
1t is believed probable that DR..
Schacht will cooperate with Snow
den and Tardieu and formulate a
sanctions clause, so worded that 1t
will mollify public opinion at home,
and at the same time be sufficiently
strong and unequivocal to satisfy
the French parliament.
