BERLIN, January 5, The Press is not surprised at the breakdown of the Paris conferende. The papers declare the imposition of sanctions without the consent of the Reparations Com mission or by a single power would be contrary to the spirit of the peace tresty; and from the viewpoint of international law would be a hostile action. They allege that France's annexationist policy can ad the failure of the conference.
