"STAGE THUNDER"
THE GERMAN PROTESTS
COMPLAINTS 'INEVITABLE,
(l!flrl» PRfIS AISOCIATION.—COPTftICfIr.)
(AUSTRALIAN - NEW ZEALAND CABLI! ASSOCtATIOH.) LONDON, 23rd March. The- Daily Telegraph's Berlin correspondent states that the German uproar over the Reparations Commission's Note stipulating the manner of paying the 1922 instalment of the Reparation debt, should not be taken very seriously. It was largely stage thunder, which would have rumbled just as loudly if the Com-, mission had proposed a complete cancellation of Germany's debts. Another large proportion of the noise was due to party tactics in order to prove that Republican governments are essentially bad and weak. Among the factors which will exercise a oalming effect will be the annual report of the Haradelsgesellchaft, the first of Berlin's big banks, whose balance-sheet for last year shows a net profits of sixty-two million marks, and which, after placing forty millions in reserve, will pay a dividend of 16 per cent.
