SENDS NOTE 1O Informs the German Government That Failure to Meet the Demand for Payment of 1,000,000,000 Marks Gold by March 23 Would Entail Further-Penaltics— Reparations Commission Befbre Mflnu Demnd for Such Payment Was in Possession of Knowledge That Germany Had Sufficient Funds to'Make Immediate : Payment—Frankly States That Germany is Seeking h? Shirk Obligations. . ! «, Paris, Mareh 24 (By the A. P.).—The, allied reparations commission delivered to the German delegation here today a note replying to the German refusal to pay the ;000,000,000 marks gold on reparations account which the commission had de- manded be handed over yesterday. The Germans were-asked that the-note be transmitted to the German govern- ment in Berlin as quickly as possible. The note adds that the commission walted as long as possible before demand- ing payment by Germany, thinking the German government would take the nec- essary measures. faithfully to fulfill its obligations under Article 235. The com- mission is now persuaded, however, it says that such is not the.case. The commission states that it demands d the payment by March 23 of one bil- marks in gold to apply on the repara- ::- account because of a cerfainty that Germany possessed sufficient funds’ to make immediate payment. The commission in its' note says there is nothing in the treaty of Versailles which obliges it to hear the German gov-! ernment upon the conditions under,which the deliveries to make up the fwenty biflion, mark payment to. the - allies (whileh' Article 235 of the peace treaty stipilated should be paid by Germany by May 1 should be made or appraised.) (The Germans in their note delivered Wednesday asked’ that a joint commis- sion of experts fix the value of the Ger- man_deliveries ofi reparation account, which they claimed already more thdn equalied the twenty billion mark . total, while the reparation commissions figures ‘showed a balance of twelve billion marks due. It was pointed out in allied quar- ters, hqwever, that the German experts already had been heard by the commis- || slon before it fixed the valuation of the Germian deliveries credited as payments against the twenty billion marks.) The text of tne \commissions note, which is in reply to the German note of March 22, and is addressed “to the pres- jdent of the kriegslastenkommission” (war burdens commission), follows: ' “Replying to your letter, the repara- tions commission has the honor to, inform simply an acknowledgment of-debt to be deddcted from the reparations general ac- count. The twenty billion gold marks of Article, 235 must be paidin cash, securi- ties or the equivalent and be used partly, first to defray the cost of the armies of occpation anll the revictualling of Ger- many in fooastuffs and raw material, what balance being-left to be applied to reparations. Lo\ “The disposition of annex 2, pardgraph concerning ‘the issue of new bonds, in no way miy modify the absolute obliga- tion taken by Germany to pay the twerty billion marks under. Article 235. In any event, the total amount 'of twenty billion marks gqld under Article 235 must be paid before Mdy. 1. The text is Im- pérative and nonfdifiliment of this ar cle, as-in any other failure of Germany to fulfill her ubligations, would entail pendlties. e A “The aboye facts being stated, there Tesul thdt the German government, by replying negatively .to. the commission’s request that it execute the stipulations of Article 235, and especially Dy refusing to, make the povment of = one billion] marks gold duc # rch 23 must be con- sidered in defanlt of fulfilling its obliga- tions ‘mad | undertakings..

With regard to_the decision of the.gon~ Eress” ofifreedoni tol-trade, it should ‘be unddrstood tha- foreign trade is still na- tionalized, but trade within Russia’s bor- ders becomes free. 5 Po_reconeile the peasants and encour- age enterprise with lthem, Lenine has permitted - the “co-operative organizations to resume activity, in the hope that they will be able to start distriBution and get the raw material now hidden by the peasants in circulation. Under present econol conditions the. co-operative or- ganizatibns will .not be able to carry out this scheme without credit” from abroad. Headjng the co-operatives are the leads ers of the social revolutionaries and mensheviki. In his_latest speech, Lenine said: “It would be a_ mistake at this <ime to re- ject these elements. We therefore are obliged to censider the moddrate . ele- ments sharing the regime. Iron necessity forces us, at least for the present, to return, to capitaiism. This, it may be ob- jected, ig’ against principles, but we are bound to do so if we do not Want to per- ish.” The view is held here that this com- promise will ha#lly lead to, big positive results. Economic destitution in Russia has gone far, and it is asserted that sal- vation must come from the outside.’ It is possible that Lenine's new watchword may be too late and ed last HEALTH INFORMATION BUREAU IN BOSTON Boston, March 24.—When ‘thingé go wrong with health in the 'ome hereafter the family doctor and his fee may be ig- nored.
