Gorman Offer Analyitd
After yesterday's meeting a statement
vnji iMued from tlio allied conference
embodying n nummary of the Herman
proposal and comment thereon.
"Tho plan prepared by the Allies nt
Paris for the payment of reparations,"
days this statement, "relieves Germany
of n substantial proportion of the
nmonnt payable by her tinder the Treaty
of Versailles."
Then follows a summary of the Ger
man proposal, and the statement says:
"This proposal docs not merit cither
examination or discussion. To demon
strate Its true character It is oufflrlcnt
to note the following:
"First. The Herman Government as
sumes It Is at liberty to calculate
the, present value of tho fixed annuities
on an 8 per cent basis. TIiIh table
Is applicable In tho Paris plan only to
discounts of fixed annuities mado in tho
first two year.
"Second. The German Government
Ignores the value of the variable an
nuities provided for In the ParU plan,
the amount of ' which depends upon
ho value of German oxpottB.
"Third. The nnnultics payable under
the Paris plan nre in addition to what
ever sums may be found to hnve been
paid on account of reparations.
"Fourtlj. Tho Oermnn Government
assess at twenty billions the value of
deliveries made by them on account of
various obligations Imposed upon them
by the treaty. The reparation commis
sion assess their value at less than half
that sum. The amount to be credited
to tho German Government In respect
to these deliveries in the reparation ac
count will be found to bo very small.
"Fifth. The German Government use
an 8 per rent tnblc for the purpose of
arriving at the amount due them. They
propose at the same time that the Inter
est upon their debt shall be limited to S
per cent.
"Sixth. The German Government pro
pose that their securities shall be re
lieved of taxation In the country of Is
sue, thus burdening the country of issue
with nnrt of their liabilities.
"Seventh. On tho assumption that tho

nmmittee. also planned to can on mm
circles that an unbiased perusal of the
German reply did not warrant hasty
adverse Judgments, such ns were ro
ported from London nnd Parts. It was
declared the German proposals repre
sented a liberal reparation settlement.
There was official denial today of re
ports that the German counter-offers
were represented ns an equivalent of the
220,000,000,000 marks demanded In the
Paris torms, but that this sum, redls
counted, renresentcil the nrcsent capital
of np.OOO.OOO.OOO marks. The latter
sum was made a basis for the present
German offer, It was said.
Carl Iiergmaun, financial expert with
tho German representatives in London,
has pointed out that 50,000,000,000 gold
marks paid in thirty years would be the
sum Germany was willing to acknowl
edge ns her reparation obligation.
It was said the total represented more
than one-half of the forty-two annui
ties demanded in the Paris program, but
was payable in n considerably shorter
period. Germany's nblllty to pay this
total was largely dependent upon the
revival of her export nctlvltlcs, and, as
this revival was likely to be slow, the
German schedule of payihents provided
for a gradually ascending scale.

German payments on this reckoning will
amount at the outside to somewhere
about 27,000,000,000 marks.
Berlin Proposal Inadequate
"It is only necessary to compare this
sum with the valuo of payments under
the Paris plan to expose thn entire in
adequacy of the German proposal.
Under the Pnris plan, on nu 8 per cent
table, the present value of the fixed an
nuities nlono is 53,000,000.000 gold
marks. This table Is, however, applica
ble only to discounts of future annui
ties made during the first two years.
On a 0 per cent table the rate nt which
discounts can be made after 102.1 the
present value is over 8.1,000,000,000
gold marks.
"It is, of course, difficult to make an
cstltnato of the valuo of the variable
nunuitics under the Paris plan, but n
substantial addition, nt any rate, should
be made to the above figures in respect
to these annuities. The sum which the
German Government nsk the Allies to
accept In satisfaction of her debt
amounts, therefore, to a small fraction
of the sum fixed nt Paris.
"The consequence would be that Gcr
many's'cxtcrnal debt, which is limited
to her reparation liability, would cor
respond to n small proportion only of
the external debts which the Allies were
compelled to contract for the unr."
Paris, March 8. (Hy A. P.)
Germany's deliveries applicable tn the
reparations account, Including war ma
terial, are estlmnted nt 8.000.000.000
gold marks, it was announced by the
Allied reparations committee nere to
day. This would leave 12,000.000.000
marks due on the first 20.000.000.000
marks Germany would pay under the
ersaiues ttcaty.

ures ond while they nrn In process
the Harding administration can do
little toward its constructive foreign
policy upon Its broader lines. It will
hnvo to direct its nttcntlon toward
domestic affairs, facing tho possibility
of prolonged anarchy In Europe.
Iong Deadlock Is Looming Up
The prospective break-up of the
London conference throws a damper
over Washington. It Is not thnt men
expect on actual resumption of hos
tilities. What they expect is n long
deadlock which will have Its effect upon
the economic recovery of Europe, ns
the deadlock over Itussln hns hnd, with
the same threat to the peace of the worlU
which has lain In thnt deadlock.
Franco-Hrltlsh coercion of Germany
to compel her to nccept tho reparation
terms fixed at Paris will probably take
the form of further occupation of the
Khinc, which now promlseti to be
come permanent. Tho occupation of
German territory may en beyond the
Hlilnc" but it will probably not be
necessarily provocative. In addition,
a control of German customs, such ns
haR been resorted to In tho collection
of debts of small nnd misgoverned na
tions, will probably be established by
the Allies.
Out of moves like these may develop
cither Irritation such ns will lend to
an extensive Invasion of Germany by
the French or to an outbreak of bolshc
vlsm In Germany which may involve
military activities on the part of the
Allies, in no case is the situation
promising for the economic recovery of
Germnny or for the rest of Europe. If
Germany won't pay, France who hns
now once more the support of Great
nritnin, aoes not intend to let German;
recover.
Llttl Hope of Compromiso
The prospects of Europe's working
out n reasonable compromise under which
both sides in the controversy could go
on living as best they might, seems to
have disappeared. Such coercion ns tho
Allies apply to Ucrmnny will be mainly
economic, wnicn means n further stop
page of Germany's economic life.
If Germany yields to coercion nnd no-
cepts the hnrsh reparation terms fixed
by the Allies she will not be much bet
ter off. The huge sum of .$5.1,000,
000,000 will have to bo paid In tnxes
The tnxes will fall heavily upon the
Industrial populations. Conditions of
life in Germany will be onerous. Tho
tendency of the population will be to
emigrate to the less developed parts of
the earth or to countries where oppor
tunities arc better.
Whether France prevents Germany
from working by coercive measures or
allows her to work only under condi
tions which drive her people away, the
great central empire will In n genera
tion or so be largely depopulated.
This result fits In with the French
policy of ending the Oermnn menace.
The only thing that has hitherto re
strained the French was the hope thnt
Germany could lie made to pay for her
own financlnl recovery. Once Franco
becomes convinced thnt Germany can
not, or will not pay, her whole aim will
be to make Germany Impossible as the
homo of u population larger thun her
own.
France Coming Into Her Own
France Is In n nosltlon which she has
sought to achieve ever since tho signing
of the armistice. Hhe has her i.uro
pean allies solidly behind her, nnd this
country is no longer meddling In. The
united States 18 a factor only uiroiign

loans, nnd that Is u power so danger

could have lived together side by side,
If he had been willing to pay for It.
Hnrdlng can hnve whatever lie wnnts
In Europe If he is willing to pay .for it.
There is this difference; Europe was
credulous when Wilson went over
there. It is Incredulous now. More
over, JSurope apparently is united now
on a policy which means the turning nf
Germany into a larger Austria, n nation
without a reasonable opportunity to
gain n livelihood.
Kuroiie licss Necessary to Cs
It is beside the point to blame Mr.
Harding's party ami the failure to enter
the League of Nntlons for whut is hap
pening In Europe. When it is snid thnt
Europe needs America tills does not
mean that America's presence in nn
international debating society would
make any difference. Europe needs
America to assume responsibility for
her economic recovery on the theory
thnt we need n stable Europe doing her
share of producing nnd consuming.
No conception of our mln short of
that' would hnve served Mr. Wilson
at Paris or will serve now.
Meanwhile, Europe is growing less
necessary to us. Our foreign trade, in
spite of discouraging reports nnd In the
depth of n business depression. Is ex

making. Therefore Steinway grands of today
are larger than other "grands." Adequate
string length is necessary to produce volume
of definite degree and artistic tone quality. -In
Style M, the smallest Steinway grand, the scale
is drawn en miniatureto the concert grand
and every quality of the concert grand is re
produced in degree to size. In like proportion
the price of the Steinway Style M of 5 ft. 7 in.
length should be very much greater than that
of any other small grand; but the fact remains
that the price is very moderate a result of
economical production in quantity.
Steinway pianos may be bought on monthly payments
