VOL. LXIV—No. 276 777 = FP‘«“ Bualletin rOPULATION 79,685 A DEADLOCK THREATENS | REPARATIONS COMMISSION After Three Hours of Discussion as Far From Agreement 23 When the Session Began—New Reparations Proposal Considered in Germany Are Based on Readiness of the Reichsbank to Participate in an International Loan to Stabilize the Mark—Violent .Attack in French Deputies on the French Financial Administration. Paris, Nov. (By the A. P.)—The reparations commission -at eight o'clock is evening, after three hours of dis- cussion of the situation of Germany, fi- nancially and economically, as viewed during its recent visit to Berlin, found itself just ms far from agreement as when the session began. The American anofficial representatives, Roland « W. Boyden and Colonel James A. Logan, Jr.. participated in the session. A deadlock in the commission again seams imminent, although it liably reported that M. Barthou, the chairman has been favorably impressed with the proposed solution contained in the re- port of the foreign experts who recently went to Berlin to study the situation. It is stated that Premicr Poincare insist n the imposition upon Germany of id guarantees befors everything else It is suggested in one quarter that the reparations problem might be left in suspense until the inter-allied eonfer- ence at Brussels on the question of rep- srations and inter-ailied debts is held, but those members of the commission who can see no good in delaying the present conference are urging a decis- on by the commission. The fear of the collapse of the present government i Berlin is also considered a faclor which it is argued should hasten some conclu- sion of the reparations question. 13 REICASBANK OFFER 300,000,000 MARK LOAN TO GERMANY n. Nov. 13.—(By the A. P.)—The German government tomnight forwarded a formal note to the reparations comm sion In Paris inforwing the commission that the reichsbank is prepared to ad- vance the German government 500,000,000 gold marks toward a loan to stabilize the mark, provided an equal amount is forthcos g from abroad and subject to the conditionrs proposed by the foreign financlal experts who recently visited Berlin, as essential for the success of the stabilization project. 2 The rate of the Wirth government to- night seemed t odepend on the chancellor’s abllity to effect an early reconciliation between the United socialists and the German people's party by inducing the latter to make a specific declaration ot its attitude on the stabilization program demanded by the radicals as one of their gonditions to further participation in the present condition. ‘Birve’ eoalitionists toitight passed & résola- tion, to remain out of any cabinet which {ailed to designate stabilization as cardi- nal feature of its program, tiereby put- ting the issue up to the: people’s party, which earlier In the day informed the chaneellor of its refusal to enter the government in any official capacity, or even to permit two of its members to become ministers without holding them- selves accountable to the party. At the conclusion of ten héurs of in- ter-party deliberations, reichstag circles tonight were more optimistic regarding the echancellor's ability to appease the socialists and to smooth the path for the people’s party's entry into the govern- ment in view of the formal note which the government sent the reparations commission. AN ATTACK ON THE FRENCI .

The labor leaders quickly realized. thal open advocacy of a capital levy had been a mistake in tactics, in the opinion of most observers it has lost them an enormous sumber of votes by frightening the lower and middle class, who might have voted for labor as the only alternative to_ the seturn of a coalition or a comservative government. : Yet, it is universally agreed that labo: is likely to secure a much larger repre- old sentation in the ‘new than _in the parliament. It is possible that votes that would otherwise have been given to labor may now be given to the Asquith party, in which case labor’s loss will be the liber- als’ gain, and although labor has con- sistently refused to enter into any com- pact with the liberals in election cam- paigns, there is nothing to prevent the two parties from working in co-operation in parliament, as on most questions their platforms are almost identical.
