RAY HARPER, Secrotnry. 22 WASHINGTON, April 22 The United States, in a note forwarded to the German government Thursday night by Secretary of State Hughes, refuses to mediate between Germany and the allies in the reparations dispute, "with a view of acting as umpire in its settlement." I The note adds, however, that If Germany will formulate proposals which would present a proper basis I for discussion, the United States I "will consider bringing the matter ! to the attention of the allied gov ernments" so that negotiations .may be resumed. This government expresses the hope that there be an Immediate resumption of negotiations. The note was forwarded through American Commissioner Dressel at' Berlin and was a reply to a request from Germany that President Hard ing mediate in the reparations ques tion and fix the sum to be paid the allies by Germany. The German -note also urged the president to se- cure the allies' consent to mediation. Germany declared that she would agree without question to pay such sum as the president found "just and right." In requesting American mediation, tho Germans stated they hoped "to avoid the immeasurable consequence of imminent coercive measures and to promote the peace of the world." The German note was signed by Chancellor Fchrenbach and foreign minister Simons.
