Counter Proposal Distorted
The allied and associated powers re-
fuse to enter Into a discussion over the
principles underljlng the reparations'
.clauses, but certain observations are
made, esneeiallv as tho Ormnn nro-
'Posals are said to "nresent n view so
distorted and inexact ns to raise a doubt '
If the clauses were calmly nnd carefully
txamined." I
The problem of reparations is of such
extraordinary magnitude nnd complex-
ty that it can he soHed only bj 11 con- .

It is pointed out that the commission

sovereignty Its business is to fix what

It is pointed out that, not only are
the conditions not compatible with the
creation by Germany of a commission
to represent her in dealing with the
reparation commission and for such co
operation as may be necessary, but it
Is greatly to be desired that she will
take exactly that step.
May Make New Proposal
The powers are willing that, within
four months of the signature of the
treaty, Germany may submit any pro
posals she may choose to make. In
particular she may offer a lump for all
or part of her liability, offer labor,
technical service or material for recon
struction or, in short, suggest any feas
ible plan to simplify the assessment
of damage, eliminate any question from

submit them ij unajnbiguous form and
accept the renjjratiqn clause as matter
beyond dispute No arguments or ap
peals directed'o any. alteration yill be
entertained, j-
Within two month's thereafter the al
lied and associated powers will answer
'such proposals and" agree to consider
seriously andfnirly any suggestions
made. It is said the problem is largely
one, of statistics of which the powers
have received only one side. Germany
is invited to produce evidence which
will accelerate final decision.
German Offer Misleading
The reply sajs that the Germans
made no definite offer as to reparations,
but "gave only vague expressions of
willingness to do something." The sum
of 100.000.000,000 marks ($25,000,
