INSTRUCTIONS SENT TO UNOFFI

Paris, Feb. 18.—The United -\‘lmei!
government tomorrow will deliver tn}
the reparations commission a deelara
tion explaining the government’s with-|
drawal of its representatives from tin"
commission. The stitement of with
drawal, which will be delivered by Ro
land W. Boden of Beverly Muass, who
represented the United States at the
Brussels financial congress in 1920,
and who is now withdrawn, will in\'ul-j
ve also the departure of about twenty |
other Americans who are on sub-com 1
mittees, 1
The statement to be preseated will
say: |
““I am instructed by my government |
to announce the retirement of its un
officiul representatives from the repa
rations commission. This decision has
been reached only after long hesitation
end careful consideration. All repre
sentation upon the commission was, in
the beginning, unoflical in anticipa
tion of ratification of the treaty of
Versailles by thesignatory powers.
**The other powers have ratihed and
their representatives have long be
come ofticial. The United States has
not ratified, and, as time has passed,
its unofficial representation on the com
mission gradually has become anema
lous.
““My government, under the fore
going conditions, has felt itself unable
to co-operate with the allied powers
at Brussels and elsewhere in the prn-l
parations of plans which seem to in|
volve a change in the rreaty. It realiz- |
es fully the great difficulty of thuso!
problems and recognizes the value ufi
unified action; but as it cannot at pres- |
ent take part in such a discussion nri
¢ven express any views upon the sub- |
ject discussed, it feels that it is undw-!
sirable to retain unofticial rv]n'osontu-%
tion on a commission that is likely to |
be charged with the execution of suchi
plans. l
‘“‘My government instruets me fur |
ther to express its sincere appreciation |
for the many courtesies which the com- |
mission and its members have shown
the United States and its unofficial rep |
resentatives,’”’

that prices be reduced on the sroundi‘
that concerted action on prices would ?
