workers,
Two

plants,
the Meister Lucius
and
Briening
works at
Hoechst,
near
Frankfort,
and
the
Kalle-Bienbrich
works,
near
Wies-
baden,
were
occupied
by
the
French,
while
the
Relgians
took
charge
of
=
large plant
near
Crefeld.
These
wo ks
are part of the
dye

poison
gas..
It
was
cxplained

swere
oc-
cupied

that
‘‘both
on
aecount
of
the
total
figure
mentioned,
as
well

the
method
of
payments
thereof
and
< uarantees,
the
Japanese
Government
fnds it is impessible
to give its
adhesion
to the German
reparations
project’’.
The
note
adds
that
inasmuch
as
her
interests
are
not
as great
or as
vital
as
those
of
the
other
Allied powers,
Japan
will
re
frain
from expressing
an
opinion
on
the
details
of rhe
proposals,
but
is
hopeful
that
the
German
Government
will do
everything
necessary
to
facilitate}
a
prompt
and friendly
settlement
of
the
problem
as
a
whole,
