EARLIER TELEGRAMS.

GERMAN REPARATIONS PAYMENTS.

Paris, April 17,

The French scheme of reparations, which is being submitted to Belgium, is based on the 1921 schedule of payments on A and B bonds, totalling fifty milliard gold marks, while C bonds (serite?) are offset by inter-Allied debts. A semi-official.message points out that the chief feature of the plan is to provide an incentive to Germany to foreign pay off promptly, particularly through the contraction of a loan, in order to secure progressive evacuation of the Ruhr instead of banging out payments for thirty-five years as provided for by the 1921 schedule

Brussels, April 17.

M. Theunis concluded his speech by declaring that France and Belgium were ready to carefully examine any German öffers if made with the object of effecting reparations,

THE NEW BUDGET.

London, April 17. "Model." "fair" and "popular" are among the adjectives applied by commentators, referring to Mr. Baldwin's Budget, which is erally praised for holding the scales evenly balanced between debt redemption and relief of taxation. The latter, indeed, is given less prominence than the proposal to allocate for a sinking fund forty millions this year and forty-five millions next year and a maximum of fifty millions thereafter. The expectations of business exceeded and the Labour party yesterday afternoon were less indignant than usual on Budget nights since 1914.

mes were

The Daily Chronicle, which is profoundly disappointed at the failure to continue Mr. Lloyd George's polley of drastically reducing expenditure, and the Daily Herald, which denounces the "rich man's Budget, giving nothing to the poor." are the only papers roundly con- demning the Budget.

TURKEY'S OIL.

Paris, April 17. According to the Matin, M. Poincare has instructed that the Washington Government be approached, with regard to the Chester Concession. It is pointed out that certain concessions granted to the American syndicate negative advantages conceded to French nationals. in 1914. The French Government, therefore, must make full reserva- tions In view of the forthcoming negotiations at Lausanne.

The Matin alleges that the Angora Assembly apparently desires to blackmail the French negotiators, citing as an example the Turkish troops concentrated on Syrian frontiers.

AMERICAN IMMIGRATION LAW.

New York, April 17.

a

Mr. Gary, Chairman of the United States Steel Corporation. said he was no admirer of the Immigration Law. He pld the shareholders of the barriers to aliens, which thereby threatened to create serious labour shortage and constituted "one of the worst things the country ever did." Mr. Gary estimated that the total value of the Corporation's holdings had increased by one billion dollars since its organisation twenty years ago.

INDIAN IMMIGRANT LABOURERS.

London, April - 17.

In the House of Commons, replying to questions. Capt. the Hon. W. Ormsby-Gare declared that the High Commissioner is con- sulting with the Malay rulets, with a view to arranging for the best form of political representation of-Indian immigrant labourers,

EGG MARKING PROPOSAL.
