GERMANY MUST
| BEAR BURDEN OF
RESTORATION
French Finance Committee
Discusses Possibility of
Indemnity
RESTRICTIONS OF
STOLEN PROPERTY
War Has Caused Compare
lively Small Increase in
French Taxes Yet
(By Associated Press.)


Paris, May IL. - The report of the
finance committee of the chamber of
deputies on the bill providing for a new
income tax, as a substitution for all
other direct taxes, shows that the war
has caused a comparatively small in
crease in taxes in France thus far. 1t
emphasizes the purpose to effect a
peace settlement which will impose
upon Germany the chief burden of
meeting the enormous expenditures re-
sulting from the war. The report shows
that taxes in England increased during
the war from So to 265 francs per
capita while the increase in France
was from 80 to 103 francs.
Finally" the report continues, "let
us remember that we must impose
upon our enemy considerable part Of
the burden Of this horrible conflict
provoked by them alone. We must have
peace that pays. Refrigeration into
our country of territories wrenched
from us in the war of 1870 will aid us
in repairing many ruins. We should
knew also to what extent the central
empires would be able to pay us in
money, the indemnities they will be
compelled to render to US and our al
lies. It will be necessary to have COM
pensation in kind, such as the mines
in German Lorraine and guarantees
such as financial control Of customs,
ports, forests, railroads, mines and
other national domain of the enemy
which will serve as pledges for annual
obligations.
IN reparation for the damages
caused in the invaded sections, we will
require Of Germany immediate restitu-
ton in kind of machines. stocks, mer-
chandise, lumber. and material of all
kinds that have been stolen from our
unfortunate people and also that the
towns and villages destroyed by a
criminal race of Barbarians shall be
rebuilt by German hands. We shall in
sist.s in addition, that ships OF the Ger
man fleet shall be delivered to us to
replace those sunk by the pirates"

FUTURE TRADES
BEING REFUSED
Chicago May Wheat 1925
With Only 10000 Bush
els Available
(By Associated Press.)

Chicago, May 1.-THE unusual sit
uation in the wheat market led sew
eral board of trade firms today to re-
fuse new contracts for delivery of
wheat in May.
A smaller number applied the same
restriction to the July delivery.
They announced that transactions in
these options will be confined to clos
ing out old contracts. 1t was eX-
planned there are only 10000 bushels
of wheat in Chicago which can be de-
livered this month and May 81, the
last day, may see buyers insisting on
the actual delivery of wheat which
exists only on paper. Such a situation
would constitute natural corner.
May wheat was bid UP 10c at 1926
