It is stated in French quarters that these are not regarded as acceptable.

Germany was prepared to pay the fixed annuities provided for the first five years also, to give a full equivalent of a 12 per cent. export duty which was not thought practicable. Such tremendous

payments were only possible if a large part of them could be financed by way of a loan. The proposal could be made only, if Upper Silesia, by virtue of the plebiscite, remained German, and if restrictions imposed on Germany in the commerce of the world were abolished.
