OCCUPATION EXPENSES DEMAND.

“TACTFUL PRESSURE OX EUROPI.

March 13.

Political circles in Paris are disposed to view tragically America's demand for payment of the cost of occupation. It is pointed out that the demand will absorb practically the whole of the milliard marks in the reparations account which the allies have just succeeded ia apportioning among themselves.

Correspondents at Washington declare that this demand coupled with refusal to attend Genos conference is the st rting point of Americ's foreign policy which is described as bringing tactful pressure on certain elements in Europ

English press comments regard the United States demand as indicating America's grim sense of humour and as prompted lees by the idea of getting money than of securing a bargaining position with a view to forcing the Allies to pursue a policy to wards Germany more in ac

cordance with American ideas.
