Paris, Dec. 5.—(By. the A. P.)—Gor- many will probably be granted a three Years' delay in her cash indemnity pay- ments, the Associated Press is informed fro mthe: most reliable source Negotia- ticns are now going on between the repa- rations, officfals of France and Grea* Britaln, and the responsible officlals of both countries virtually agree that Ger- many must be given a breathing spell. Al that remaing to be done is to work out a scheme accentable to both countries, The suggestion of a three year mora- torium has been abandoned at the earnes solicitation of France. The French rep resentatives explained that the word mo atorium was especially offensive to tho French people in connection with the in- demnity, {nasmuch as it was- understcot as meaning complete suspensbn of pay- ments of all kinds. The greatest progress has been made in the last few days In bringing the Fr and Pritish viewpoints together; the re- sult of this progress has been the deci- sion to give Germahy a chance to reg: a normal statu The reparations hollday cannot be ussd by Germany as a means of evading all future payments of -indemnity.. French cfficials explain that it is being considera] so that Germany will better be -able at the end of two or three vears to fulfill her reparation oblizations and she must then be gprepared to pay in full “a rea- sonable indemnit: The whole problem will be formally placed before the reparations c:mmission when the German reply to the last rep- aration note is received, probably at the end of thig week. In the meantime of- ficials are working hard to reach a com- mon plan of action. Numerous sugwes- tions are under conslderation. One, which is receiving considerable French support, involves a written guarantee by Germany that: ’J'he budget will be balanced; (2) ital shall be exported to forelen (3) there shall be. no policy of retaining canital n forelgh countries; (1) the ralsing of a loan. a portion of which is to go to the reparations commission : (5) continuation and probable incrcase during the period of delay of payments n kind. Such a iplan would set up an alled control commission in Berlin to supervise budgetary reforms and have broad pow- ers to effect other financial changes. It is declared that there are nod longer any surmountable difficulties between the two countries on the reparations 1 iecy. Officials representing Francs in Germany, who are in a position to know the real facts, understand that Germanry cannot meet the payments beyend thes» scheduled for January and February next. As to these, France is not greatly con- cerned for It is asserted under tha alifed agreement France Is not to racetvc onec cent of cash involved in t 2 inwtail- ments., The Associated Press is further {nform- ed that the supreme counell probadly wiii oonsider the new situation created at a meeting to be held within five or six weeks, when France probably will make a formal demand for a new distribution of the first billion of of the indemnity pail last August. This will be based on ih~ argument that France consented to it division between Great Brita'n and Bel- gium in the belief that Germany wou makg further payments. Now that there is little likeliwod of payments for thre~ vears after February, France fe: that she should have part of the only cash payment recefved from Germany. American observers In Europe ars strong supporters of the plan to grant the delay ; they have advocated that such a move for several months as the bes! means of insuring payment of a sub- stantial indemmity t> France. They con- tend that a delay of three years will en- able Germany to regain considerable of her pre-war economic stability; and there would then be no argument against her paying a reasonable indemnity. TReparation observers believe that French public opinfon will accept the new policy with respect to reparation and pr-fess to see in it a means of depriving Germany of all arguments agaiast the payment of the indemnity. NEW BRITAIN PROSECUTOR GUILTY ON TWO COUNTS rartrord. Comm., Dec. 5.—Guilty of ackmai!, but not guilty of accepting a e was the decision of Judge Wolfe of the suverior court today in the case against Albert Greenberg, prosecuting | attorney of New Britain, who was tried last week on the two counts. The criminal court room was packed with lawyers and other * spectators waiting for the verdict of the judge— a novel proceeding under the new law— and the visitors sat through a half hour recess until Judge Wolfe returned to the bench and sentenced Greenberg to pay a fine of $500 and te six months in jall, suspended the jall sentence nisl. and placed the accused In charge of the pro- bation officer of. New Britain. In malk- Ing the suspension of sentence nisl the judge remarked that there might be de- velopments In the six months th#t would cause the court to order execution of the sentence. Judge Wolfe in pronouncing sentence said Greenberg was a first offender and should be treated as a first offender, The court realized that tn addition to the penalty the accused's days of usefu'ness as an attorney,or for nublic office were at an end, and while the court also re- alized the severity of the offense It was certain that the accused would have to sesk occunation where public trust was not_involved. The Greenberg case was one of the gensations of the rum-ring disclosures brought by State’s Attorney Alcorn and the arrest of Detective Sergeant Andrew J. Richardson. Greenberg was trled on a charge of accenting a bribe from Sal- vator Varlola, a bootlegger, who was mulced out of $500 by one dennison who took the money to find a load of liquor which had been stolen from Variola. Greenberg was consulted 'by Varlola and succeeded in getting $250° of the $500 back for Vario'a. Greenberg admitted taking $25 of it as a fée.

A large majority of senators and house members answered the opening roll calls today after thenr ten day recess since the adjournment of the extra Sesign. The opening gavels sounded the begin- ning of the first regular session of the sixty-seventh congrees, which has before ih months of work. Leaders expressed the hope tonight of completing work by mid-summer but faced the possibility of the session continuing until fall. With the biennial congressional elections next November,, much politics was regarded as assured for this session. One of the features of today's opening was#the recciptedfrom PPesident Harding of the first federal appropriation esti- mates prepared under the new budget law. The budget proposed for the 1923 fiscal year was $3,505.000,000, a decrease of nearly $500.00.000 from the 1922 out- lay and of morevehan two billions from current expenditures.

Few bills were introduced today in the house and none in the senate, the rellef from the usual swamp of bills and reso- lutions at the opening of a new sessior being credited to the fact that most measu®es already had been introduced ism the special session. The first important measure of th new session is to be called up tomerrow in the senate. This is the administratior bill for funding the $10,00,000,000 of al- lied debts, which passed the house during the extra session bat failed to gel through the senate.

P.)— Steps towsrd a settlement of the Shan- tung controversy were taken today at } the resumption of conversations between the Japanese and Chinese delegaNons to the Washington conference when Ja- an agreed to renounce in the leasehoid 1l preferential rights with regard to foreign assistance in persons, capital and material stipulated in the Chino- German treaty of March 6, 1898." These rights had passed to Japan un- der the operation of the Versailles peace treaty. They included the understand- ing tha twhen any foreign assistance was needed in Shantung with respect to capital, -material or men, the Clinese government wou'd first come to German (and later Japanese) merchants and manufacturers in procuring such assist- ance. At the same time, an agreement was reached that the maritime customs of Tsing-Tao be made an integral part of the Chinese maritime customs system, while the question of control of = the Kiao-Chow, Tsi-Nan-Fu railroad was deferfed for consideration at a later meeting. ‘Action regarding the raflroad, it be- came known at the conclusion of the meeting todar' had been postponed af- ter Saturday’s conversations concerning the rallroad at the request of the Jap- anese delegation. While no reason was given, the Chinese delegation assumed, uccordlng\o a Chinse spokesman, that the Japanese desired to communicate with Toklo. China on Saturday reafs firmed its insistence that China be given absolute, control over the Kiao<Chow railroad. * The qmestion of the rallroad. which is considered to bas the heart of E t- w ir t- 8y according to the entire Shantung dispute, is expected a cablegram received In Hartford, from to be considered again on me.
