LONDON, May 14.—The text of the British government's note to Ger- many in reply to Germany's recent reparations offer was made public yesterday. It is signed by Lord Cur- zon, secretary for foreign affairs, and ‘His majesty’s government have given careful attention to the mgmo- randum of your excellency, com- munlcated to me May 2, in which the German government put forward pro- posals for a settlement of reparations. “This action on their part is well known to have been a sequel to the suggestion I made in debate in the British parliament April 20, and his majesty’s government, therefore, have special Interest in the response re- turned to that appeal. “I cannot conceal from your ex- cellency that the proposals of your government come as a great disap- pointment, and .that the unfavorable impression they made on his maj- esty’s government, as well as on their allles, is one which, in my opinion, the German government might and ought to have foreseen, and, there- fore, guarded against. Far From Expectation. “The proposals are far from cor- responding, either in form or in sub stance, to what his majesty's gov ernment might reasonably have ex- pected would be made in answer to the advice I on more than one oc- casion, ventured to convey to German government through your ex- cellency, and to the more direct in- dication'to them in the speech refer- red to. . “The main grounds for this legiti- mate disappointment are the follow- inj | First—The German government ! offer in total payment of their ac- knowledged debt a sum which, falling far below the moderate amount form- ing the basis of the British scheme submitted to the Paris conference in January, last, must have been known in advance to be altogether unac- ceptable to the allied governments. Furthermore, payment of even this inadequate sum is made dependent on a series of international loans, the success of which in the conditions predicated must be largely specula- tive. So much so that the scheme prgposed by the German government actually contains provisions dealing with the contingency of the loans not materializing. Moreover, the ar- rahgements proposed under this head involve financial conditions less bur- densome to Germany than if the loans were to be successful, so no real in- centive thereby is held out for her to attempt to raise them. Calls Ofter Vague. ‘Second—The failure of the German reply to indicate with greater pre- cision the nature of the guarantees they are disposed to offer is more particularly to be regretted. The al- lied governments, instead of receiv ing concrete and substantial pro- posals in this respect, are confronted with vague assurances and refer- ences to future negotiations which in a business transaction of this kind are lacking in practical value. “The disappointment is enhanced by the belief, which his majesty’'s gov- ernment would like to entertain, that indications are to be found in the German memorandum that the Ger- man government recognize the re- {sponsibility resting on them to make an earnest effort to discharge their jobli fons under the Versailles treaty in a manner which the allies could regard as both equitable and sincere. Blamed for World Ills. f Germany did intend to open the way to an effectual and speedy solu- tion of the problem, the failure to settle which is gravely disturbing the political and economic condition of Europe, and, indeed, the whole world, then it seems unfortunate that she; should not have shown keener ap-! preciation of the lines on which alone can any such settlement be sought. “His majesty’s government are per- suaded that in her own interest Ger- many will see the advantage of dis- playing a greater readiness to grap- | ple with the realities of the case, and, discarding all irrelevant or contro versial issues, will proceed to recon- sider or expand their proposals in Isuch a way as to convert them into a feasible basis for further discus- ! sion. “In such a discussion his majesty": government will, at a suitable mo- ment, be ready to take part by the; side of its allies, with whom they share a practical interest in this question, which they have no inten- tion to abandon, as well as a desire to terminate a situation of internation- al peril. “But they cannot conceal from the German government that the first step | forward to a realization of any such | |hnpe must be recognition by Germany | jthat a contribution much more serfous | d much more precise is required than any which yet has been forth- coming.” | i ITALY DISAPPOINTED. | Says Own Interests Are as Impor-t tant as Other Allies. By the Assoclated Press. ROME, May 13.—Italy’s reply to the German note on reparations be- | gins by expressing disappointment over the proposals. It defines the Italian attitude as a sequsl to the plans submitted by Italy at the last two conferences at London and Paris. Italy, it says, by reason of her eco- nomic ' and ~ financial position, is obliged to consider the problems of reparations and inter-allied debts at all times closely bound up with each other and cannot refrain from in- sisting that they be settled as soon as possible, taking into account the START MADE ON NEW : BAPTIST CHURCH HERE; Ground Broken on Site at Piney| Branch Road and Aspen * Street.

O, MONDAY, MAY 14, 1923. g A TN Text of British Note Advising expenses of reconstruction in her in- vaded regions. Claims Important. “That recessity,” continues the note, *clear! explains her attitude oth as regards the deliberations of the reparation commission and as re- 8ards events which followed the last Paris conference, it belng understood that her interests and requirements in the solution of so grave a question are not inferfor to those of any other allled state whatsoever. “As 18 proved In several officlal manifestations and explicit documents of the royal government, Italy is dis- posed to bear her share of sacrifices in order to insur: a general economic settlement, but she cannot agree to the imposition of such sacrifices as are beyond her reasonable capacity. “It must not b2 forgotten that Ttaly's relative position in the per- centage of German reparations is based on the greater share reserved to her in the reparations due from the small states, in regard to which Italy, in conformity with generosity and moderation, and taking into ac- count their difficult situation, agreed to concessions without so far invok- ing or claiming her right to have re- course to Germany's joint liability as sanctioned by trzaties. “The German proposal does not of- fer a methodical or complete plan, such as is indispensable to form the hasis of even discussion of principle. It resol itself into a serfss of vague and inaccurate indications which are all the more worthless when compared with the great im- portance of the questions to which it refers. the | = Blum’s 614 12th St. NW As a part of the tremen- dous big event at Blum’s, beginning Tuesday Morn- ing, we shall offer strictly for CASH. 75Men’s| Some of these sold up to now for $29.75.
