SIR GEORGE PEREIRA.
Calatta, Dec. 1 Brigadier-General Sir George Pereira has arrived here from Peking via Lhasa. He has gone into a nursing home, where he will remain in bed two or three weeks and then proceed to Delhi.
A Clot of Blood
He has covered over 17,000 miles, of which he walked nearly half. He suffered from a clot of blood or the left call, which, how ever, never deterred him from progress.
la an interview to-day, he stated that the journey had occupied nearly two years. He had traversed a great part of West China
and the whole of Eastern Tibet. The journey had been perfectly peaceful, even in the worst brigand-infested provinces of China- Shensi and Szechuen. All he had to do was to inform the magis- trate, who arranged with the brigands that he should not be at- tacked.
He was welcomed everywire in Tibet, and permitted to enter Lhasa where he was the guest of the Commander-in-Chief. He also met the Dalai Lama.
HERR CUNO AND REPARATIONS.
Berlin. Dec. 4. Herr Cano, the German Chancellor, in an address before the Press Union, said that those acquainted with German conditions. realised that nothing more could be done regarding the question of Reparations than indicated in the German Note, addressed to the Reparations' Commission on November 18.
The only way out of the situation would be an open discussion among the parties concerned.
The German Government, said the Chancellor, would not be influenced by ultimatums and threats of further occupations of territory.
Germany would not consent to the surrender of the Rhine Pro- vince, the Bavarian Palatinate, the Saar district or endangering the postponement of their liberation.
