U.S. GERNANLOAN | - SEENAS HOPELESS Ambassador Says Repara- tions Questign Must Be | First Settled. By the Assoclated Préss. NEW YORK, October 26.—Germany . has no chance to float a loan in this or any other country until the repa- rations question has been settled, Otto Wiedfeldt, German ambassador to the United States, declared today on his return from Berlin on the steamship Resolute.. The German government will make no attempt to float such a loan, ke added, until the reparations matter has been straight- | ened out. . 'H The German ambassador refused to | discuss the proposal for American ! participation in an allied reparations | conference, saying he had as vet had | no opportunity to comsider it. He expressed himself freely, how- | ever, on the German separatist move- | ment, emphatically declaring that the | Rhineland republic would end speedy failure. Separatist Move Doomed. “No German state can withdrav from the German confederation any easier or more successfully than one of your American states—Penn vania, for Instance—could withdraw from the United States,” he said. “This | separatist movement will dle soon. | and Chancellor Stresemann’s govern- | ment will survive.” In many parts of Germany, he added, France was held to be behind the Eeparatist movement. On this p: he said he could say nothing own knowledge. rr Wied- ridiculed any possible political nce in the reported desire of man crown prince to_ return d, s Germany did not face the po: restoration of the mon “The crown prince merely wants to mee his wife and children.” he said. At present, he relterated, Germany is unable to pay reparations In cash, adding it might be able to pay small amounts in coal. Shift of Money Denled. Reports that Germans were placing large sums of money in the banks of other countries were denied by him. “Whatever money is being seclud- other countries Is being placed Germany may buy the ac- of life, ‘and carry on said. adding that his badly in need of cotton, and Spanish ores. He pains to deny that for- llor_Cuno, who recently was in the United States, and Hugo Stinnes, jr. son of the industrialist, Wwho also was a Resolute passenger, were here in a political capacity or in connection with a German loan. Ambassador Wiedfeldt painted a gloomy future for his country, de- claring that much of today's Ger- man unrest: cquld be laid fo the ap- proaching uncertain winter, the par- tial failure of the grain crop and the mpossibility of providing coal and fuel for the people. The menace of a coal famine, he sald, threatened to close down many industrial plants, causing _much unemployment. ~An unfavorable summer, he said. had re- tarded the crops fully a month and caused a grain shortage which would compel the Germans to im- port at least six weel upply of grain during the coming year.

From the outset there has been no indication that the Washington gov- ernment had any Intention of cancel- ing debts owed it, as a result of the war, by France or any other nation. That Mr. Hughes replled in negative to Lord Curzon's question on the possibllity of American repre- sentation on the reparations comm! sion is held by officials to be a nat: policy followed by the United States ever since it refused to ratify the treaty of Versaille: Americ: bership on this commission as set up under the treaty was an issue in the treaty ratification fight, and even the ‘temporary assignment of an American “observer” to serve unoffi- cially with the commission was as- | satled in Congress as an unwarranted | interterence in the affairs of Europe. | An effort at the last session to pass a | Senate resolution authorizing full | representation failed almost in its in- ception, Despite manifest! their y are been reticence, officials pleased that official notice h taken of Secretary Hughes' New Haven suggestion, and British_officials at least have 1 in it the possibility of a final solution.

The report current a week ago that the budget bureau may increase the District estimates to $26,000,000 was strengthened yesterday afternoon when officials of the bureau sought another conference with the city heads. In the course of yesterday's meet- ing the Commissioners called in Su- perintendent of Schools Ballou, Sani- tary Engineer J. B. Gordon and Chief Clerk Hesse of the police department. Additional items for school con- struction, new sewer building and for police protection are understood to have been under consideration. Budget officlals probably will not disclose the amounts they will add to the original budget of $25,144,882 un 11 the figures are ready for presenta- tion to Congress in December. City officials, however, are known to be hopeful of obtaining a substantial in- crease above that original limitation. POWERS 0. K.
