PARIS, May 23 (Associated Press). —A categoric negative reply to the German note on the economic effect of the peace terms has been sent by the Allied Council to the German del- egation, The reply characterizes the German note as exaggerated and says that It indicates failure to ap- preciate the enormity of the Ger- mans’ responsibility. The Germens are reminded that “it is right that Germany, which was re- sponsible for the origin of these ca- lamities, should make them good to the utmost of her capacity.” “Her hardships, the note con- tinues, “will arise, not from the con- ditiots of peace, but from the acts of those who provoked this prolonged war, Those who were responsible for the war cannot escape its just consequences.” ALLIES START OUT BY REFUT- ING GERMAN CLAIM. ‘The German note opens with the statement that the industrial resources of Germany were Inadequate do- fore the war for the nourishment of a population of 67,000,000, and it ar- gues as though this were the total for which with diminished resources she will still be called upon to provide, not the case,” says the total population of Ger- be reduced by about 16,000,000 persons in the non-German territories which it is proposed to wansfer, It is the necds of this |many will smaller aggregation that we ere called upon to consider, “Complaint is made in the German note that Germany 1s required to sur~ render her merchant tonnage, exist- ing or in course of construction, and that @ prior claim is made upon her shipbuilding capacity for a Mmited term of years, “No mention, however, is made of the fact that a considerable portion of the smaller tonnage of Germany is left to her unim- paired; and it seems to have en- tirely escaped the notice of her spokesman that the sacrifice of her larger shipping is the inevit- able and necessary penalty im- posed upon her for the ruthless campaign which, in defiance of all laws and precedent, she urged during the last two years of the the war upon the mercantile ship. ping of the world, “As @ partial offset @gainst the twelve and three-fourths million tong of shipping sunk, it Is proposed to transfer four million tons of Germam shipping, In other words, the shipe ping which it is proposed to take from Germany constitutes less than one-third of that which was thus wantonly destroyed, “The universal shortage of mer chant shipping is the result not of the terms of peace, but of the action of Germany, and no sure prise can reasonably be felt if she isecalled upon to bear @ share
