German Plea of Undue Harsh
ness Declared Exaggerated,
Reply To Charges
(By the Associated Press.)
Paris, May 23. Germany's economic
atatua under the terms of the peaee
treaty is the result of her own behavior,
particularly through the ruthless sub
marine warfare, the Allied and asso
ciated council informed Count voa
Brorkdorff-Bantzuu la answer to his
note oa the economic questions. The
Allied answer, which was mode public
today with the text of the German note,
ia negative. It points out that the
German plea is exaggerated and ignores
the fundamental considerations which
led to the imposition of the terms.
The loss to world shipping through
ths German submarine campititfih- it is
declared in reply, waa nearly thirteen
millions of tons. Ths Allies propose to
make Germany pay only four million
tone. Responsibility for this ahortage
inr shipping ia placed directly oa Ger
many- and the German share in re
placing it is eslled "very moderate."
Ia answer to' the Germnn plea that
Germany wilt be called upon to feed
87,000,000 persons, it It declared that
ths peaee treaty takes 6,000,000 out ot
German control. It it added that Ger
man agriculture ia in better shape thaa
that of Poland) Belgium and Northern
Franc where the fighting wss heaviest.
Ths ; Germsns complained thnt they
would lose certain accessary commo
dities. The Allied reply is thst Ger
many can import thess goods. Germany,
it is asserted, destroyed the Less coal
fields, sad ths cosl fields taken from
her in payment of the destruction
wrought still leaves her sufficient forces
of fuel Ths Germsns complained that
ths Germsa populstion would suffer
under the treaty, which was described
aa aJIdeath sentence.
The reply points out that all eoua
tries are suffering ss a result of the
war. sad there ia ss reaaon why Gr
many, which was responsible for the
war, should not suffer. Germsa figures
ss to ths loss ia populatioa dus to tht
blockade snd tpeeulstioa st to what will
happen te the population ia ths future
are declared to .bs fallacious. ' There
will be every, opportunity for Germany
to makt her position In tht world both
stable and prosperous. Germany, it is
pointed out, has not suffered from pll
legs snd devastation add there will be
a saving from reduction of srmaments
and the tire of her srmy snd ia turning
of the armament-making populatioa to
works of peace. , . m . .
