In the House of Commons, replying to Mr. Gershom Stewart (Conservative), the Rt. Hon. Mr. The German note, to the Allies offers thirty L. C. M. S. Amery, First Lord of the Admiralty;" milliard gold marks payable by means of red said that after careful consideration by the Ad international leahs, namely one of twenty milliards miralty and the committee on the amalgamation of and two of five müliards.

the services common to the Navy, Army and Air Force, it had been concluded that there would not“ be sufficient margin of accommodation if the naval and military hospitals at Hongkong were smal- gamated This would be especially the case as regards officers, as there were only six heds for officers in the military hospital.

Germany offers as guarantees her entire economic wealth and alternatively suggests refer ence of the whole reparations problem to an later national commission.

The offer says that passive resistance will con tinue until the Ruhr is evacuated..

PARIS, May 2 As a Gerinan note confirms, the cabled fore cast may be taken as granted. The French Gov- erament regards the proposals as entirely unaccept able as a basis for discussion.

··· PROPOSED BOND ISSUE.- ·

BERLIN, May 2.

Germany proposes that twenty milliards of gold marks should be raised by bond issue at normal rates on the international money market before July 1, 1927; five milliards before July 1, 1929, and five before July 1, 1931. The first twenty milliards would be offered for subscription immediately. Interest on the bonds up to. July 1, 1927 would be paid into a special fund under the control of the Reparations Commission.

If twenty milliards could not be raised by loan before July 1, 1927, the interest on five per cent, would be paid thereón from that date, also one per cent, amortisation.

The Military Hospital is situated in Bowen Road and the Naval Hospital in Wanchai.]

THE STARTING POINT. The offer declares that the proposal is the utmost fimit of Germany's economic capacity after wake

ng the German economic organism by the occupe ation of the Ruhr. The German Government even gravely doubts whether the proposal does not exceed Germany's capacity, but if the other side does not share this view, the whole reparations problem should be decided by an international commission free of all political' influence.

The fulfilment of Germany's obligations depends on the stabilisation of the German currency, regard ing which it is essential there should in future be no more forcible seizures and sanctions.

Germany is prepared to accept any agreement biading both on Germany and France and to submit all conflicts which cannot be settled diplomatically to arbitration or reconciliation.

The starting point of the negotiations must be the earliest possible evacution of the Ruhr, the restoras tion of conditions in the Rhineland, according to the Rhineland agreement, the liberation of the arrested. Germans, and the return of the German exiles.
