YOUNG REPARATION PLAN PREFERRED TO DAWES’ Manifestation Against Versailles Treaty Blaming Ger- many for World War. Indorses By the Associated Press. BERLIN, June 24—The Nationalists today submitted to the Reichstag a no confidence motion against Dr. Gustav Stresemann, German foreign minister for the past five years. ‘The motion was offered after Dr. Stresemann had made a vigorous de- fense of the German government's for- eign policy, particularly with reference to the reparations problem, in an ad- dress before the Reichstag today, an- swering bitter eriticism by Count ‘Westarp, leader of the Nationalists. ‘The foreign minister declared that the newly drawn up Ycun’ plan was a definite improvement over the Dawes plan, from the viewpoint of the burden on Germany. As to its future he said, “Nobody in the world can give an ab- solute guarantee as to its workability. ‘The experts themselves stated that the maximum forecast can be for only 10 years.” Dr. Stresemann's only reference to the United States, which, however, he did not mention directly, was his an- swer to the Nationalist charge that Germany was hecoming & colony of France and . “No, we are not a colony of French- men and Englishmen,” he said. ‘“To me it seems doubtful whether all Eu- The fact that the colonies sat down together to work out ameliora- tion for each other because others did we. the history of the Paris negotiations.

He declared that the Young plan was definitely lghter than -the Dawes plan. Refe to the Nationalist elaim that the .unworkability of the Dawes plan should first have been demonstrat- ed clearly, Dr. Stresemann said this would have led to a crisis simillar to that which provoked invasion of the Ruhr, “Let us frankly admit we were mistaken about _the possibility of hold- ing out in the Ruhr fight,” he admon- ished his hearers, He drew a picture of the disastrous up: the Nation- t by point.

Regarding the Madrid parleys, Dr. Stresemann said: “It would mean the end of such talks if they became the subfect of debate in Pa ent. Nat- urally I must report on them to the cabinet.
