Euroje tonight looked to Secretary Hushes' reparation proposal to mt next Tuesday's , premiers1 ' conference from hopeless deadlock and failure. France, Britain and Germany tonight pat finishing touches' on their 'respec tive plans, which will he sunmltted to the allied leaders next week and it was , apparent the three schemes are widely at variance. Moreover, Premiers Bonar Law and Poincare each secured '.' the onaualified backing: of their rov ernmenta, making unyielding" deadlock more probable.- Tha proposal of an unofficial Intsr. ' national commission to consider repa rations with , American participation. therefore, was regarded as a lifesaver. BRIT AIK PLEASED V It was not at all likely that France would accept the Hughes plan per se, but it was considered probable that the Trench would urge that the matter , be taken up at the Brussels parley, to which the United States has been in ' vited. .-. .--V,.; ' Britain has received the Hughes speech with applause and unofficial - Dromise of cooperation. . Franca, re- : eel red it oldly. ; Reason for the difference Is found In the diyergent views held by the two .'countries toward 'the crux of thai rep arations problem. - Britain's aim. as evidenced by .the plan Bonar Law will carry to Paris, is to be as lenient as possible toward Germany, , to getj Just as much as the defeated enemy can pay,: not to ask too much, and .to ar- : ranee terms so that payment can oe ' made and trad kept up at the same ' tlraeK - France considers the main question Is not how much shall Ger many pay, hut how much can she be forced to pay. - , " PUiy- E3CPlAl3rEB "; The French rejected the Hughes . plan because it did not provide for coercion. Britain accepted It because it opened7 the way to general agree ment on the Question. The French plan, which was In the ; hands of Premier Poincare for final - approval tonight, is as follows: To refuse Germany a moratorium until suitable guarantees are arranged, and have these guarantees include ai lied supervision of r German finance, imposition of heavy taxes on the Buhr. a customs barrier between the Rhlneland and -Germany, seizure of German-owned foreign securities, and - rigid control along the border. . ' WHAT B BIT ACT OFFEBS The British plan, for which Bonar Law received the backing of his cab inet. Includes: Reduction of the. amount Germany must pay by at least a half more,' if possible. Agreement among the allies : . to permit Germany to get to work and earn the sum without constant re- etrlctive measures 'by France, t The German plan, which Xr. - Karl r Bergmann will carry to Paris next - week, was outlined in . an exclusive United Press dispatch as follows: i Oermany to pay the allies 40,000,000. v 000 gold marks. , ' The allies or the United States, or . both, to lend' Germany a total of 20, . 000.000.000 gold marks with which td . help pay the lump reparations sum. This loan. Germany stipulates, should be made within not more than five .; years. Germany offers to-give guar- - antees. but the Cuno government ad- i muteoiy Is shaky over this point, for the Socialists, angry at not being in on details of the latest plan, may bock . the chancellor in the reichstag when he ;. seeks legislation authorising the guar antees such as the allies would de- in and. 12,000 under the total of applications filed at the same time a year ago. ? Secretary of State Koser estimates that registration for 1923 will reach the X50.000 mark. This will mean an increase of , slightly less than 1S.0V0 over-tha mark- set for 1923. .' It will . probably require two weeks or : more - to find - the bottom of the flood of applications which are - r pected to find their way Into the auto mobile department within 'the next few days. . and in ' the meantime it Is not expected that any effort will be made to enforce the law covering the , use of UZZ. license tags. - ?
