branded as "highly unsatisfactory."
The British foreign office dropped
the matter and will leave It to tho
supreme council to pass on recep
tion of the German proposals.
The German answer was said to
be vague and to throw no light on
the ambiguities In the original pro
posal. "The time Is gone when vague
offers can be considered," a foreign
office official told the United Press.
"The German offer of 50,000,000,
000 gold marks is ludicrously below
the Paris total," according to this
official, ana unless all tne terms are
made clear the allies will not dls-
cuss It."
The reparations situation today
stood thus:
France bent on quick rejection of
tho new offer.
Great Britain anxious to' study tho
proposals.
Italy known to bo opposed to
French military plans nnd presumab

America still awaiting definite
statements from tho allies
