mun reparations proposals again to -day.
Secretnry Hughes laid before
litem the views of the principal al
lied powers Willi regard to the .offer.
Meantime the American reply to thy
tlerman communication was held up.
' According to information in usually
well-informed quarters, Secretary of
tflate Hughes still is hopeful that ne
gotiations between tho allies and CJer
many can be re-opened. It is raid
that even if a final decision is not
reached before the French begin to
move into additional German terri
tory, the exchanges can continue attcr
that time.
While the cabinet was considering
tho question, it became known that
Oreat Britain and Italy had not defi
nitely rejected the German offer as
unacceptable as a basis for negotiations.-
It was understood, however,
that the French and Hetgian views us
transmitted to Mr. Hugltes were that
the terms were unacceptable.

Because of the effect of the present
Unsettled Bituatlon upon American
roinmcrc and industry, the United
Stales, it is said, hopes for an early
settlement of the reparations contro
versy. ,6n the other hand, however, it ias
been emphasized repeatedly that the
United States stands squarely with
the allies In their demand that Oe.r-
miwiy pny to the limit of her ability.

Von Bernstorff in Maiden
Speech in Reichstag Says
' America Interested Seeing
Europe Intact Sees Resur
rection tf War.
BERLIN, April 29. Criticism of the
German cabinet's appeal to President
Harding in tho reparations question
was calculated to weaken still further
the position of Herman, diplomacy
ahroud, declared Count von Uernstorfl',
former ambassador to tho United
States, In his -maiden speech before
the releasing yesterday.
"The United States is actuated
chiefly by economic moties in its
treatment of European problems," he
said.. "America cannot possibly In
interested in seeing Germany dismem
bered, or deprived of territory which
is coveted in the-western quarters ot
Europe. To expect far-reaching polit
ical aid from the United States, 1 be
lieve, would be an error.
"The present issue, however, Is not
purely political, but it involves the
principle of firmly establishing the
solidarity of the interests of all na
tions. "The imposition of tho penalties
with which we are threatened would
be tantamount to a resurrection of the
state of war. Under these conditions
we leel we were Justified in making an
eleventh hour appeal to arbitration

warranted," Dr. Simons declared. "Be
fore me sat men who held In their
hands documents containing our con
fession of guilt. Granting that this
confession was extorted, It behooved
me to make the best I could of the sit
uation, a protest on my part would im
mediately have precluded further fi
nancial negotiations with Mr. Lloyd
George."
Returning to the reparations Issues,
the foreign minister Biiid, In reply to
charges that he was late in appealing
to President Harding, that he hud at
tempted to put out n "feeler" weeks

"Attempt of Senate to Dictate
Harding's Foreign Policy,-
Rushed Through Like Gas
Franchise in City Council,'
Says Hitchcock Vote Due
Tomorrow.
"WASHINGTON, April 2!t. Adop
tion o!' tlie Knox pea re. resolution
would be an attempt to dictate the
international policies of lr'nllfnt
Harding, Senator Hiteheoek of Ne
braska, ranking demoerat on the for
eign relations committee, ehargd to
day in the senate.
The Nebraska senator attacked th
measure us "Idle und ineffective," und
declared that it was being "ruilroad
ed" through like u gas franehiue
through a city council "when the
votes can be depended cm." The reso
lution Is to bo voted on tomorrow.
Quoting from 1 'resident I lard lug's
address to congress In which he op
posed any statement of policy by con
gress,. Senator Hitchcock said con
gress In this resolution did "assume
ihc function of the executive. "
"The manner In which this matter
has been handled In the senate Is
perhaps without a precedent," he
said. "It is apparently to be, put
through by machinery.
"A resolution involving the forelan
policy of the United States und as
suming to dictate to the president of
the I'nited States Is to be pushed to
a vote here without upparently any
effort to explain its meaning or Jus
tify its enactment."
Senators Horah, republican, Idaho,
and Reed, democrat, Missouri, denied
Senator Hfekcock's assertion that the
Knox resolution Interfered with func
tions of the president. Senator Horah
said that adoption of tho resolution
clearly foil within the powers of con
gress; Senator Heed suggested that
the Nebraska senator overlooked "the
direct Invitation" In President Hard
ing's address to congress thai it con
gressional resolution to end the state
of war be adopted.
