THE BLACK LIST

RECEPTION OF ALLIES' NOTE IN GERMANY

PROTESTS AGAINST GERMAN

TRIBUNAL

'By Telegraph-Press Association-Copyright (Rec. February 22, 5.5 p.m.) Berlin, February 18. The Allies' new black list Note had a mixed reception in Germany. Government circles are relieved, as it releases them from a difficult position. The newspapers comment variously. The Tanfiernian Press boastfully regards the Note as a climb-down. Some profess to see thn influence of Mr. Lloyd George and the rebuff of the French policy. Radical and.Socialist newspapers are calmer, and discuss ways and means of malting the German tribunal effective. The "Vnrwaerts" believes the tono of tho Note is an indication that concessions are possible in other directions, especially financial and economic—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.

London, February 18. A. semi-official German view says the new black list shows the influence of rational considerations, but cannot bo regarded as a victory for European reconciliation, because Franco only yielded when she saw compliance was a physical impossibility. There is no indication that Franco is renouncing her other rdans. The nationalistic newspapers protest, against a German tribunal, which must not be taken seriously. The Government has resolved to proceed with n tribunal according to German law, as the Allies propose. The "Vorwaerts" doubts if iustiee will- be dona by Prussian Judges, who are saturated with the spirit of Prussian militarism—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn. PRECISE DEFINITION OF ACCUSATIONS DEMANDED. (Res.
