Germany’s Reply to the Versailles Peace Plan
The German counterproposal accepts civilian reparations up to 25 billion dollars, rejects the allied reparations commission, and demands six months to withdraw troops. It seeks plebiscites with neutral oversight for disputed regions, opposes East Prussia severance, keeps Danzig under German control, and proposes sovereign handling of colonies and Russia treaties. It renounces Kiao Chow, Brest-Litovsk, and limits naval arms while opposing full surrender of shipping.

Oklahoma farmers seek more portable grain elevators
At a June 4 hearing before the Corporation Commission in Oklahoma City, railroads, the Agricultural Department at Stillwater, and farmers urged more storage, especially portable elevators. Wheat output is expected to rise, raising concerns about storage and high elevator charges around 8 cents per bushel, with co operative portable elevators costing about 2 cents. A railroad representative proposed informal discussions with farmers to permit portable elevators as needed, pending no formal order. Art L. Walker noted an emergency exists and the commission will help farmers move grain, though a Rock Island Railway v. State of Oklahoma decision limits the commission’s jurisdiction to place portable elevators on rights of way.
