THE SUNDAY STAR, W/ —PART ONE. GERMANY DISPUTES ALLIES” DEBT TOTAL Statement Insists 53.9 Bil-| lion Marks Paid to Credit- ors for Reparations.

Shipping Is Cited. “A strong example of this procedure is to be found in the valuation of mer- chant shipping delivered by Germany under the treaty “In all, 4,000,000 tons of shipping were taken, which, under the German valuation, had an actual value at the time of delivery of 5,753,000,000 marks, whereas the Reparation Coramission permitted only a credit of 749,000,000, while at the same time computing the value of allied shipping lost in the war through alleged German acts at the | high valuation rate not allowed to the | German reparation deliveries. “In enother case the Reparation Commission allowed 89.000.000 marks | for military stores delivered to the allies, which represented, according to the German accounts submitted, 2 clear purchase or merket value at the time and thus actual cost to Germany of over 200,000,000 marks “The Institute of Economics in Washington, D.

Summary of Payments. “Taking this as & fair and impartial ‘valuation, ar dding thereto 1.5 billion marks paid in cash or values in 1923 and 1924, we came to the following figures as representing the undisputable | wvalue of Germany’s reparation payments up till June 30, 1931: “Cash payments, deliveries of goods, ships and material, private properties, rights and interests of Germans seized all over the world until 1922, according to the valuation of the Institute of Economics, Washington, D.

Nav Divisions of the 1st Battalion, United States Naval Reserves of the District of umbia will make their annual cruises s year to Boston, Mass., aboard the destroyer Hamilton, according to ad- vices received last week from Rear Admiral C. C. Bloch, commander-in- chief of the Atlantic Training Squad- ron, which has the duties of cruising the members of the Naval Reserve on the East Coast While the local citizen sailors had a foreign cruise, having visited the Ber- muda Islands last year, they were hopeful that this year they would be assigned to take a cruise to Southern coast ports. This recommendation was made, it was said, in the interest of efficiency and more time for training, as it has been found that during the trips to the New England ports a large | part of the time was lost in fogs which are prevalent there durmg the Summer menths. Another change has been made in the cruising schedule this year. Heretofore it _has been the practice to cruise the three divisions of the local battalion in succession, with a week layover of the vessel between cruises. However, this year there will be an interim of nearly the entire month of July between the training voyages of the 1st and 2d Fleet Div ns here. According to the schedule received from Admiral Bloch, who formerly was hief of the Bureau of Ordnance in the Navy Department, and commandant of the Washington Navy Yard, and su- intendent of the Naval Gun Fac- here, the 1st Divisron of the local battalion will leave here aboard the destroyer Hamilton on June 18 and will return on July 2. The Hamilton, the schedule provides, | upen debarking the citizen sailors here Va., where it will embarx the Newport News and Norfolk Reserve divisions and take them on a voyage to Boston for training. The second cruise for the local Re- servists will begin here on June 30, when the 2d Division will leave here and follow the same schedule, includ- ing the midcruise liberty at Boston. This cruise is scheduled to end on Au- 13, here for a week, it will, on August 20, leave for the third and last cruise of the season for the local Reservists, tak- ing 3d Fleet Division, which will com- lete its duties when the ship returns here on September 3. During the various voyages the citi- ven sailors will be instructed in ship maneuvering, emergency drills, target practice, signaling, etc. The Baltimore Reserve divisions, as een the practice in the past, &lso will come to this city and make the voyages with the local Reserve divisions. The schedule also provides for train- ing of the Naval Reserve Officers Train- ing Corps cruises. On June 24 the De- stroyer Tillman will leave Boston with he Yale classes aboard for Bermuda. The Destrover Evans will leave New Haven with the Yale students, while the De stroyers Philip and Fairfax will leave Hampton Roads with the students from Georgia Tech and Northwestern Uni- versity. These three ships will join with and accompany the Tillman to Bermuda. The flagship Arkansas of the Atlan- tic Training Squadron, will leave Bos- ton on August 27 to go to Halifax with six divisions from the 1st Naval Dis- trict and one from Boston.

The big majority of House mem- | bers seems extremely desirous of pre- venting a vote on an amendment to re- duce salaries. Many of them admit that they would be compelled to vote for such an amendment if it went to a ree- ord vote, even to reduce their own sal- aries, although they would much pre- fer to have any such proposal rejected.
