GERMANY'S OFFER.
NOT AFFECTED BY THREATS.
FRENCH SUGGESTION DENIED. Renter. LONDON. Dec. 13. An authoritative German quarter in London indignantly denies the French suggestion that the German Note was only evolved under pressure of the threat to occupy the Ruhr Valley. On the contrary, the German Government would not have produced the plan if it believed the Allies thought such pressure necessary. Its production of the plan was evidence of Germany's willingness to co-operate in any definite solution of the reparations problem. The money derived from the German and external loans would be utilised not merely in stabilising the mark, but in paying reparations. The only way of paying was by loans, but Germany was unable to guarantee the issue of the proposed loan immediately. No foreign investor would invest if the Ruhr Valley ■was to be occupied. Germany must be granted considerable rest to regain confidence. All talk like Signor Mussolini's of a great international loan was nonsense; such a loan would be only possible when the reparation question was completely solved.
