WASHINGTON, D. C., March 19.
—The American Government, thru
| the state department, has made •
j strong remonstrance to the Allies [
j against the rulings of the Allied
| reparations committee, which are
i contrary to a general understanding
reached before the adjournment of
the peace conference.
The reparations committee has de
cided that, under the terms of the
treaty, the sale of German property
in neutral countries can be forced,
I
| if necessary, to meet Germany's ini
tial indemnity payment.
Such a construction of the peace
terms, the state department con
tends, is contrary to the official in
terpretation exchanged between Ger
many and the Allies prior to the
signing of the treaty.
It is the intention of the United
States to hold the Allies strictly to
account, if possible, for the manner
in which the treaty terms are ob
served.
The Allies have not yet replied
to the American note of remon
strance.
