Washington, April 21.--The Amerl cal government refuse(I today a urgent appeal of the German goveri iedt that President larding mediat the question of reparations betwee germany and the allies, and fix th sum Germany is to pay. T'ihL ['ited States agreed, howevei that if the German government woul forilulate l)roiti)ly such 'proposal regarding reparations 'as would pre sent a proper basik foi discussion" J xould "consider bringing the matte to the attention of the allied *govern mients in a manner acceptable to thet in order that negotlations may speed ily be resumed.' Germany's appeal, signed by Chan ehlior Ftebrenbach and Foreign 'Min ister Simons, was directed to Presi dent iarding, and was transmitte through American Commissione Dresel at Berlin. It was answered &. Secretary lughes after a conference late today with the Presdlient at th White Ilouse. The texts of both the appeal an the reply were made ;iIb lic tonigi by the state department. The com munication said the German govern ment was "ready and willing" u agree without qualification 01 resIei vation" to pay such sum as the Presi dent after examination and invest] gation. might "find just and right and to fulfill in letter and spirit al the provisions of any award that ma be Im.-de by him." In reily, Secretary lughes said: "This government could not agre to mediate the question of repara tions with a view to acting as unpir in it sCttlement. Impressed. ho e er, with the seriousness of the Is suesi ilnvolved as they affect the whol world, the govcrnmncit of the Unite States feels itself to h4 deeply con cerned with the question of obtainin an early and just solution. This go' krnlment Atronmly de'sires that ther lid be anl i1Uiediate resuilptio of negotiaitions and reiterates its earn est hope tat the German governmen w pron'. tly formulate such pr( o.als as would present a prope b0asis for disculS'siol. Should t (h Gei mai government take this courise, thi government will consider bringing th matter to the attention of the allie governments1) itn a maier acceptahl to thml in order that negotiations ma fspeedily be res-mue.". Ger-maniy's appeal was; regL-arded I ofl1.ial diplomatic Wash I II; tol as remarkable on. It wits poinltal ou that it was dirceted to the head c a nation with which Germany still I th l war, and which ha troops on its sail.
