For us. just as for yon, ' he said, ‘‘The disadvantage ofa provi- . sional settiem2nt is beyond doubt. But ~_we have taken refuge in such a pro- visional ‘settlement under the pressure of your ultimatum which forced us to - come torward with definite preposals. We should have preferred to put before you a plan of total arrangement, a plan like that which we originaily started with. The Germaan Woreign Secretary explained that he had no second proposal in his pocket and had therefora to try to find a new way both in the delegation and in the Berlin Cabinet, He had been charged to ask for a brief delay in order that they might get in touch with the Berlin Cabinet, but he added, ‘'we were refused this short delay. From this fact it already appears that there is no found- ation for the fear that we should want to make use of the provisional settlement to reach a revision of the whole treaty after the lapse of those five years. On the contrary, the German nation has undertaken its obligation of making re- parations, and it is ready to fulfil the whole of tais obligation o the limits of possibility. We ara therefore ready to enter into the suggestion of the Presi- dent of the Conlerzace~to furnish the Allies with part of the gains which should be reguired for th> purpose of reparations by laying aside a part of the purchase prices of German goods deliv>r- ed into the allied countries for the repar- ations account. We agree with the President of this Conference also on this point, that it should b~ advisable as quickly as possibie to get the fix d sums determined, and to have also determined the factors of the varied payments, in case of her economic recovery with Ger- many would have to make toward re- parations. We further agree with your intention to set up an examination SYyS- tem of the fixed and varied payments (o the different countres These points, in our opinion, should be delib:rated on by & | sint commission of experts as soon as possible and I can’srate it is a pity that when ihese experts mee:, the at- mosphere wili be embitterad by the sanctions which are to be put into effect against us. I feel oblized at this mo- ment when the sanections are definitely going to be put intoforce against us, to enter once more with all due emphasis a protest against yom procedure. ''Ger- many’’, he exclaimed, '‘is not a member of the League of Nations, but she has signed the pact of the League, and I therefore announce in the name of the German Govt. an appeal to the Assembly of the Leag e of Nations against the sanctions with which we are faced’’. Dr. Simmons made reference to section 17 of the League pact, which. provided that in the event of a dispute between a member of the [eague and a state which is not a member of the League the arbi- tration procedure of 15, applies. London, March 7th. -M. Briand con- siders that the action of the Allies in deciding to enforce penalties :on Ger- many for nonfulfilment of the reparation terms will be of real assisiance (0 Ger- man public opinion in arriving at an ap- preciation of what must be done aund that the result will be acceptance of the Allied terms The i‘rench delegates had a moment’s anxiety over whether the British Government will join -France in using froops to occupy Rhenish towns. Allied un'ty was near the breaking point at the eonterence while the ultimatum was being prepared, Mr. Lloyd George is described as having explained lengthily the Ger- man difficulties and the desirability of reaching an agreement by nego- tiations, without holding too closely to the decision to apply penalities. Then I see only one thing to do’’ remarked M. Briand quietlv **What’s that’’,? in- quired Nir. Lloyd George. ®'‘For the French delegation to take the next train for Paris,”” replied M.
