It was subject to con- ditions which might make it uncer few weeks. It was subject to t in Upper Silesia. If plebiscite were adverse to Germany many is deprived of territory upon which she depgnded to pay those an- nuities, and therefore the agreement | Proposals Called “Vague.” Mr. Lloyd George continued: “The German proposals are perfectly vague. There is nothing the allies, especially those who want to raise money for repairing their ravaged country, could raise one paper franc upon, let alone a gold mark. The proposal that Ger-| many should pay annuities for fivel years, not out of revenue, but by means of a loan, is disquieting. She, is thereby mortgaging her income for the years that come after in order to pay the annuities of the first five There are certain significant sen- tences used by Dr. Simons which show that Germany has not yet faced her problem.” The prime minister spoke about the enormous _sacrifices it would be necessary for Germany to make in order to pay the annuities of the first five years, and added: ‘Upper Silesia is torn entirely from the side of Ger- many_the latfer will have a popula- tion” which will be 10,000,000 in ex- cess of Great Britain, inciuding Ire- land. This year we have a million unemployed as a direct result of the war, but we have to find for paying our debt charges and pensions and disability allowance 500,000,000 ster- ling. If Germany carries out this year the Paris proposals she will have to find 126,000,000 sterling—one-fourth the sum Great Britain alone has to find. Compared With French Problem. “France, in addition to war charges and pension list, has to find twelve bil- lion franes for repairing her devastated area. Germany, therefore, will have to find this year one-ninth of what France has to find, and we are told that the effort Germany puts forth is a colossal sacrifice. It shows that Germany has not yet realized the essential facts of the situation. “We are willing to discuss with Ger- many the length of the period of an- nuities,” he continued, “we are willing to discuss with Germany any other method besides the 12 per cent tax for adjusting the annuity to German prosperity. Dr. Simons is not really in a position to negotiate; he Is returning to report to public opiniom, which is not ready to pay this debt. “Until we get proposals from Ger- many which mean a permanent set- tlement there can be no peace,” he declared. “We must insist upon a settlement mow of iwo questions. Pirst is the amount of payment, or the factors which should determine those amounts automatically aceord- ing to the prosperity. What those factors should be we are prepared to discuss. The second point is the method of payment. Mere paper agreement promising_payment is unsatisfactory and insufficient. It means endiess disputes. Two Questions to Be Settled. ‘“These are the two questions that must be settled between Germany and ourselves, and settled immediately. In the interests of the allies, of Ger- many and of the world we must have a settlement, a definite settlement and an immediate settlement. “Proposals such as those we heard today are not a settlement. They simply evade and postpone a settle- ment, and very regretfully we have reached the conclusion that the sano- tions must be put into operation im- mediately.” Dr. Simons responded briefly: “If T am expected to make a short in reply, may 1 ask members of ort delibera- sion to retire with the my ti certainly.” George. “How long do you want? “About a quarter of an hour,” said Dr. Simons. The Germans then withdrew from the conference. It was just before § o'clock when the German representatives left the conference chamber. When the ses- sion was resumed shortly afterward Dr. Simons said the Germans re- quested a short delay to enable them to communicate with the German eabinet in Berlin. This request, however, was refused. replied Mr. EDMONSTON’S Home of the Original FOOT FORM Boots and Oxfords for Men, Women and Children.
