Tho German cab I lnct faced today a vote by the reich Btag on the government policy In Its -preparations moves, regarding; its ap . npnl tn President iHardlncr for media tion and the new reparation propos als, just submitted to Washington. . Approval ofthis policy was forecast in political quarters as the approv ing resolution was to be presented by the Germon peoples' party, the democrats and clericals, and was re ported also as llkelv to have the sun- ? port of the majority socialists.

This statement caused' a stir. i (Special dispatches from Berlin re cently have reported the presence there of several Americans said to have been in consultation with Dr. Blmons, among these being LaFayette II. DeFricse, of New York; Dr. Rich ard Moldenke, a mining engineer and metallurgist of Watchung, N. .1., and Ludorf Hoefler of San Francisco.) ft. Foreign Minister SimonB said Jie and his colleagues were fully Inform ed of the gravity of . tho situation which probably would decide the destiny of Germany. Defending his appeal to Washington, Dr.' Simons said: "A state which is still at war with another state naturally cannot act as a mediator, but Its leader can do so and ho is a man who is ardently championing the idea of arbitration and who is being advised by a dis tinguished jurist. But we are not ,only addressing ourselves to these men personally but also appealing to the principle of justice." (Continued ou page alx.) I WASHINGTON, April 27.

April -Freight rutos from points of origin vit of the Rocky mountains tci the inter-mountain territory were found by tire inter state commerce commission to bo not unreasonable, unduly prejudicial or otherwise unlawful. Complaints by shippers and others were dismissed. The complaint was mndo against the maintenance of approximately the same rates between east tin noints and inter-mountain territory as . between I the cast and the Pacific coast, the complainants seeking to have rates to the mountain points graded accord ing to distance with the rates -to the coast as a workfiig'basis. Ho fore the war, rates to tho coast wero lower than those to intrmoun taln tenito'ry because of water compe tition growing out of the construction of the Panama canal. "War condi tions practically eliminated this com petition and tho commission in 1918 increased some coast rates .and lower ed some intermediate rates. which brought about practically a level set of rates to the two territories. Shippers organizations from practi cally every district in the country were parties to the rate case, somo fa voring and others opposing the ap plication for change. The Atlantic and Pacific coasts generally oppose any change tht would affect rates to the Pacific coast. State commission parties to the hearing included those of Utah, Idaho, Nevada, Montana, In diana and Virginia. "The rate situation is having a ten dency," the commission said, "to com pel the eastern industries to erect manufacturing plants , and branch houses In the coast states. While this trend is- naturally objectionable to established eastern manufacturers, the building up of the west as a man ufacturing .and primary distributing territory,. is not undesirable from the standpoint of public interest.
