reading the Southern Pacific superin
tendent's lottor relating to improve
ments nuked for by the city, a dele
gation of weli Known citizens walked
In with solemn countenances and took
Seats on the spectators' benches, the
mayor perked up at once, adjusted
his tie and chunged the alignment of
his cigar to attention. It certainly
looked like business and as though
a serious kick of some kind was to
bo Imparted to the city officials.

what abashed when Mr. Gotcholl
tersely exclaimed that' while the S.

present to the municipal body.
f "That's what we're hero for,','
(lulckly said tho mayor. "I am ul
ways glad to have citizens bring these
Important matters beforo us. Please
shoot." ,
j Then one by ono each of tho vis
itors aroso In turn and started off se
riously to explain tho importance of
their errand, dilating on the gravity
of the matter without stating what
It was, and then snid the next speak
er could bettor present the situation
In hand, and sat down.
i Finally It came up to the last man,
H. L. Walther, to drive home tho fi
nal argument, nnd he reaching to
One side, plckod up a hugo mallet
nicely varnishod nnd attached to a
long handle, and wound up wltl "I
present this gnvel ns a token of our

GERMANS OFFER 30 BILLION
(Continued from page one)
Payments in kind nro to bo guaran
teed by long term privato contracts,
breach or violation of which would
mako offenders subject to fines.
The note proposes that the first
twenty billion marks of tho total of
thirty billion bo offered for subscrip
tion at onco. If twenty billion murks
cannot bo raised by means of a loan
beforo July 1, 1023, interest at fivo
per cent will bo paid on that sum
from said dato, in addition to one
per cent for amortization. Fulfill
ment of Germany's obligations, tho
note continues, depends on the stabi
lization of her currency. Therefore,
It Is necessary. In connection with tho
regulation of tho reparations problem
to bring about a methodic and per
manent stabilization in order to ro
movo tho apprehensions of other
countries with respect to ruinous
German competition. Strengthening
of her currency also will enublo tier
many to restore her internul finances,
the note says.
Asks for Liberation.
In order to realize this program
and in order to sufeguard the Inter
ests of those who finance tho loans,
the Herman government says It is
essential that there be no more
forcible seizures of securities, that no
further sanctions be imposed, that
Germany be freed from the unpro
ductive expenses with which she is
now burilcned and that she also be
liberated forthwith from ull political
and economic restrictions.
The proposal also suggests that in
behalf of tho economic rehabilitation
of Europe tho countries concerned
arrive at on understanding with re
gard to dealings in important com
modities. The note expresses the
opinion that in this connection long
term private contracts for deliveries
of coul and coke uro especially Im
portant. With regard to the two proposed
loans of five billion marks each, the
note proposes that in case these
amounts cannot be raised fully by Is
sues of bonds at normal rates before
the dates fixed, an Impartial interna
tional commission shall decide wheth
er, when antl how tho amount not yet
accounted for is to be raised.
The same commission would decide
In July 1931, with when and how, after
July 1, 1931 the interest not provided
for In the first Instance Is subsequent
ly to be raised.
Hughes and Harding Proposed
As to the makeup of this commis
sion, Germany proposes that either
tho syndicate which puts up tho first
loan of twonty billion gold marks or a
committee of international business
men be chosen according to the sug
gestions of Secretary of States Hughes
a committee on which Germany is to
be represented with rights equal to
thoso of other nations.
As the third alternative, tho note
proposes a court of arbitration com
posed of a representative of the rep
aration commission and a representa
tive of the American government, to
gether with a chairman whom the
president of the United States would
be requested to nominate In case the
other two members failed to agree as
to the nomination. ,
The note begins by emphasizing the
view that the questions upon which
dopend the reconstruction of the
devastated areas and the restoration
of the sound economic life and peace
of Europe can only be solved by mu
tual understanding.
The occupation of the Ruhr, the
note states, is dlamotrically opposed
to such aspirations, and it therefore
provoked the passive resistance of the
Ruhr population.
LONDON,. May 2. (By tho Asso
ciated Press) It was authoritatively
stated hero this afternoon that the
Hritlsh government has been at some
puins to mako clear to every party
that Great llrltain is no way connect
ed with the German reparations note
and that sho bad no part whatever In
framing its terms as suggested In cer
tain riuarters.
