DISAPPOINTED,

GERMANS THINK OUR NOTE BRUSQUE.

IMPORTANT OMISSION.

BERLIN, May 14, According to the Lokal Anzeiger, Government circles are very disappointed with the brusqueness of the British note, chiefly because it does not mention the German suggestion to submit the re- parations problem to a committee, of international experts

GERMAN PRESS COMMENT.

LATER. The next move is not likely to take place before Whitsun, The newspapers agree that the Allied notes do not improve the prospects of a settlement. The Tageblatt says Lord Curzon's note does not encourage those who believed the door of negotia- tions was open..

The Stinnes organ, Allgemeine Zeitung, says the note sounds like acquiescence in M. Poincare's mean policy of chicanery.

The Boersen Zeitung thinks Lord Curzon and Signor Mussolini might have saved Europe but they have come France's puppets.

The Vossische Zeitung, however, advocates a reply filling in the gaps indicated by Britain and Italy.

The Voricaerts thinks that the British and Italian wishes might be met regarding the specify ing of guarantees for an international loan.

BETTER RELATIONS ALREADY,

(Reuter & Service to the China Mail.) -

LONDON, May 14

The Foreign Office luas received the Soviet's to the British note. It is lengthily argumenta- tige, suggesting a desire for further discussion rather rather than definitely accepting or rejecting Lord Curzon's demands.

*

The Cabinet considers its reply tonight, when it will decide whether the Russian note's tone is such as to justify the belief that the Soylet policy of pinpricks has given place to a more reasonable attinide.

It is pointed out that the British note, which was officially described as a serious communication".. and not as an "ultimatani, has already had the effect of slightly improving the Soviets attitude to wards Britain.

[The sloop "Huebell," under the command of Captain ERGR Evans the Antarctic explores, has been despatched to Russian waters to protect British trawlers from Soviet agents who have already seized several vessels outside the 3-mile limit but inside a 12-mile Hmit.
