TO ESSEN 9 S RELIEF
By the Associates Press.
ESSEN. January 24.—Although
the United States has stood apart’ l
‘ in the Franco-German controversy
over the occupation of the Ruhr,
residents of the United States are
already sending liberal relief to
the people here. The largest gift
so far announced is 500 chests of
foodstuffs from the central relief
committee at New York, which
Burgomaster Luther has been ad
vised is on the way to Essen.
The shipment is valued at 75.-
000.000 marks, their contents be
ing similar to the contents of par
cels previously sent to other parts
of Germany. According to further
reports, a resident of Chicago has
donated 4.000,000 marks, and a
resident of Coblenz has contrib
uted another large sum. The like
lihood that such aid may be
urgently needed soon became more
pronounced than ever on the eve
of the trial at Mayence of the six
German industrial leaders.

tions commission on Fridav. there
were certain indications • last night
that Premier Poincare might not press

several weeks. In view of the situa

Intention of the German government
flatly to reject the new proposals.
The plan was only circulated among
the members of the commission Mon
day; but already severe criticism of
it has developed in British quarters,
where it fe asserted the project would
fall to re-establish German credit.
One paragraph definitely sets forth
that Germany must accept the plan
by February 15 and before that dale
must deliver to the commission a dec
laration of its adhesion to the proj
ect and an agreement loyally to
carry it out. Germany also must
produce guarantees from the Ger
man industrialists that the proposed
internal loan will be raised and that
the necessary legislation will be
enacted not later than March 1.
Separate guarantees of fulfillment
must be obtained from each German
state.
Might Be Bed need.
The proposed three billion gold
mark loan would be used to meet
reduced cash, and merchandise pay
ments during the life of the two-year
moratorium. The moratorium would
be reduced to eighteen months if
German finances improved sufficiently
for the resumption of the full schedule
of payments.
Os the loan 2.500,000,000 would go
entirely for reparation payment. The
other 300,000.000 marks would be used
to stabilize the mark. It is presumed
the loan also would be used to pay
the costs of army occupation and'al
so the costs of the Ruhr occupation.
One billion marks would be raised In
foreign currency and one billion and
a half in deliveries of merchandise.
Big Levy Capital.
The three billion marks in cash
would have to be produced largely by
the heads of Industry, who have sent
huge sums out of Germany. The rep
arations commission would go over
the German government with a fine
tooth comb and reduce its expenses
to the minimum. A 25 per cent levy
on German capital would be taken in
return for the so-called perpetual
loan, the bonds of which would be
paid to nationals from whom capi
tal was taken. Interest on the bonds
would be paid from the German bud
get. after ail reparations charges, in
cluding costs of all commissions on
control and the reparations commis
sion, had been met.
British reparations officials assert
that the plan would not give Ger
many an opportunity to re-establish
her credit and restore the confidence
of outside investors.
The new plan would place the rep
aration commission in complete con
trol of German finance.

German Notes Protest
Measures ” of French in Ruhr
The German government, in _ two
notes handed to the French, British
and Belgian governments, has pro
tested against alleged ‘‘terrorizing
measures’* against German officiate
to force their assistance in the exe
cution of “illegal measures” in con
nection with the French and Belgian
occupation of the Ruhr, and declared
ordinances of the Interallied Rhine
land Commission covering the .oceu
pation to have “no legal value.
Both notes, the one relating to ord
inances of the Rhineland commission
also being addressed to - the Italian
government, were made public here
last night by the German embassy.
The note delivered to the three pow
ers protested against the expulsion
from occupied territory of “German
officials, who. complying with legiti
mate instructions’’ 'from their gov
ernment, refuse “to render assistance

The note contends that in issuing
the ordinances the commission “has
abandoned the legal basis on which It
was founded.”
“By violating In the gravest man
ner the administrative and financial
sovereignty of Germany and, in par
ticular. of the German territories con
cerned” it states, “the Rhineland
commission has put Itself at the dla

of international law and of the treaty

of war it is entirely illegal to force

not to be complied with.”

The note denies there is justifica

plained his altitude on the Ruhr
crisis to his cabinet, says a dispatch
to the Central News from Rome.
The premier asserted Italy had
made no offer to Intervene In the
situation, but that It had warned the
Berlin government of the dangers of
reaction and advised Francs to ex
ercise moderation. The Ruhr problem
had not yet reached a deadlock, which
would justify an attempt to step In
and try to arrive at a solution.

Mussolini added that he had in
structed the Italian engineers sent to
the Ruhr to abstain from acts of a
political character.
The cabinet fully supported the
premier’s attitude.
According to a dispatch from the
fitefani Agency, Mussolini, after stat
ing that the question might still be
asked .whether a deeper appreciation
of the Italian memorandum sub
mitted to the London conference
would avoid the grave complications
that have developed, asserted that the
Italian government would take most
active steps to avert still greater
■complications and produce at the
earliest possible time a calmer at

cussion of the problems of reparations
and debts.
