I Paris, June 6 (By the Associated Press).—Although printing a consider able amount of German comment on the allied disarmament note, the Paris morn ing papers have as yet little comment to make themselves. The note is generally described as drafted in most conciliatory terms, and as allowing the German government to hasten the evacuation of the Cologne zone "if only it is prepared to show good w’ill." German President Comments. Berlin. June 6 (By the Associated Press). —President Schacbt. of the reichs bank, commenting upon the allied dis armament note today said: “Our nerves have just about reached the cracking point, and unless allied and assoc’ated powers listen to reason, and i abandon the policy of political hockling, ( the German boiler may blbw up.” ( Germany's failure to carry out the dis armament requirements of the Versailles treaty, were outlined in detail in the note i the allied powers have presented to the German. government. Germany must comply with an exten sive list of rectifications and demands be fore the disarmament obligations of the pence treaty are considered fulfilled, jus . tifying commencement of evacuation with the Jfcpg. or Cologne, tone in accordance with fli'e Versailles jpaet and the withdrawal of the allied control com mission. The chief of these sweeping demands includes radical modification of the reich swehr's general staff, reduction of the country’s military forces to 100.000 men and suppresion of short term enlistments. ; The military character 6f the security po ’ lice must be abolished and the force it self reduced from 180,000 to 150.000. Wholesale destruction of industrial plants of the Knipps and a dozen other big con cerns which in their. present state are held responsible for the production of war war material is demanded. After referring to previous communica tions and the report of the control com mission which established Germany's short comings, the note stntes the allied government's “consider it of capital im portance to place in the foreground of their argument that the defaults unless promptly rectified would in the aggregate enable the German government eventu ally to teconstitute an army modelled on the principles of a nation in arms. “This would be directly counter to the treaty of peace,” continues the note,” under which German army was to be used exclusively for the maintenance of internal order and for the control of the German frontier. It Ih this circumstance which, while it demonstrates the import ance of each individual defaults so se rious a menace to peace.” “It should be clearly realized that the breaches of the treaty thus specified con stitute the most serious, but not the only evidence of Germany’s non-fulfillment of this essential portion of the peace treaty.” After referring to the accompanying memoranda, of defaults and requirements, the note says: “The allied governments are convinced it merely requires good will on the part of the German government to see that the rectijication of the defaults are car ried out m a relatively short period. In fact, it now rests with the German gov ernment itself to create conditions un wer which evacuation can speedily be effected.” f f 'terns ho \ \ p- J Business y / kwSidbbeuep \ { frtßiu.? 7 , a .Bjbful ; y« a TE CHINESE STRIKE SPREADING It Was Eestimated Today That 250.000 Are On Strike In Shanghai.
