REVISED TERMS ARE
 HANDED TO GERMANS
(Continued from First Page)

by Germany of her separations obli- cations as is consistent with the true maintenance of the social economic and financial structure of Germany It is pointed out that the commission is not an "engine of oppression nor device for interfering with Germany's sovereignty It's business is to fix what is to be paid, satisfy itself that Germany can pay and report in case Germany does not pay. The commlS- sion cannot prescribe or enforce taxes or dictate the character of the German budget, but may examine the latter to see if any modification is desirable probably in Germany's interests and to be assured that German taxation is at least as heavy as the heaviest All lied taxation.
 It is pointed out that not only are the conditions not incompatible With the creation by Germany of a com mission to represent her in dealing with the reparation commission and for such cooperation as may be nec- essary but it is greatly desired that she will take exactly that step.
 Huns Can Make Suggestions.
 The powers are willing that within four months of the signature Of the treaty Germany may submit any pro- posals she may choose to make. In particular, she may offer a lump sum for all, or part of her liability, under take to reconstruct all or part of a damaged district, offer labor, techni- cal service or material for reConstruc- ton, or in short, suggest any feasible pIan to simplify the assessment Ot damage, eliminate any question from the scope of inquiry, promote the per formance of the work or accelerate the redefnition of the ultimate amount to be paid. Germany must, however negotiate direct with the powers concerned before making the proposals, submit them in unambigu- ous form and accept the reparation clauses as matters beyond dispute. No arguments or appeals directed to any alteration will be entertained.
 Two Months for Reply.
 Within two months thereafter the allied and associated powers will an- swer such proposals and agree to con- sider seriously and fairly any sugges- tions made It is said the problem is largely one of statistics, of which the powers have received but one side Germany is invited to produce e1r' dence which will accelerate the fina decision.
 The reply says that the Germans made no definite offer as to repara tions but "gaVe only vague expres sions of willingness to do something The sum of 100000, 0,000,000 mark! which was mentioned in the enemy counter proposals, is said to give the impression of an extensive offer which upon examination it proves no to be- Interest was not to be pai( and until 1928 there would be no sub

Geneva, June 17.-Czech forces under command of Gen.

 Industry to Be Resumed.
 Declaration that the resum ption of German industry is of interest to the Allies, as well as to Germany, the reply declares that commercial faclll ties will not be withheld from Ger many but they will afford Germany facilities for food supplies, raw ma terials and overseas transport, under conditions (which cannot be laid down in advance"
 Meanwhile, the treaty must be signed" the reply declares. ''The burdens of Germany undoubtedly are heavy, but they are imposed under conditions of justice by peoples whose social well being and economic pros perity have been gravely impaired by wrongs which it is beyond the utmost power of Germany to repair.'
 Preparations Come First.
 In the financial section it is stipu- lated that repara ton must be made prior to the settlement of all other German public debts, with such ex-
 
 prove. Payment for food may also be first charge, and gold may be ex- ported on approval Germany must pay the expense of military occupation as an essential guarantee of peace, and war material surrendered after the armistice cannot be credited against reparation. Liberated terri tories will bear their portion of the pre-War debt but will not assume any part of the war debt itself.
 After the events of the war" it is said the powers have the right to demand that Germany be no longer intimately involved in their financial or economic life or in that of Ger many's former allies, or Russia As tl-e greater part of Germany's foreign securities must be liquidated, the pro- lection of German holders will no longer justify German participation in international organization The right is reserved to demand of Germany also her credits in Aus tria, Hungary, Bulgaria and Turkey Reciprocity Is Impossible. Tn the discussion of the economic clauses, the reply states that the principles enunciated by President Wilson and embodied in the covenant of the league of nations as to the equality of trade conditions will be brought into effect when the world returns to normal, but in the mean | time a transitory regime is essential 1 to save certain Allied states from a position of economic inferiority be- 1 cause of the damage done to their ter rltOreS during the war Reciprocity | is impOSSi ble at present and a gen. l cral and indiscriminate re-application l of multiple and biiateral treaties | cannot be accepted
 l Consular relations are not reel 1 prOcally established owing to the war l activity of German cOnsuls. Private l property of Germans abroad may be l justly used to meet reparatiOn ! charges. The property of German in 1 stitutions for research and education 1 it is held cannot be immune in the 1 light of their past activities l Aerial Proposals Rejected. l The German proposals relative tc

aerial navigation have not been ac- cepted
 It is pointed out that German ob- jections to the clauses pertaining to ports and waterways are too general to admit of a detailed reply After outlining the objections made in the German counter proposals the reply declares that until the transitory pe riod is passed and general conven- tions can be laid down. it has ap peared essential that the provisions of this section of the treaty must be enforced Provision is made for the extension of these provisions and for the ultimate grant of reciprocity but only after five years, unless the league of nations decides to prolOng the period. No attempt is made to prevent the legitimate use by Ger many of her economic resources but rather to secure freedom of transit for young, landlocked states. The com missions esta ablished by this sec- ton of the treaty will function, not alone over German territory but over it is said.
 Labor Fully Protected. The two notes already sent in re- ply to the German notes relative to the labor clauses of the treaty are said to cover this subject. The treaty l makes provision for the protection of 1 labor in ceded territories and a plan l for referring all cases not reached by 1 direct negotiation to impartial tech ! nical cOmmis issiOns is inserted in the l Guarantees Taken Up. l In taking up the clauses referring l to guarantees, the reply quotes an address by President Wilson in which he said:
 'The reason why peace must be | guaranteed is that one of the parties to that peace has proved that his , promises are not worthy of fath.''
 Military occupation by the Allies | will continue as a guarantee for the ! execution of the treaty. There will 1 also be constituted a civilian body called the interallied Rhineland com mission consisting of four members. l representing Belgium, France, Great Britain and United States. It shall have executive powers and it's mem- bers shall enjoy diplomatic privileges ] and immunites
 Civilian Administration. The civilian administration shall remain in the hands of the German authorities under German law except
 where it may be necessary for the high commission to act. The Allies retain the right to reQuisition and to | demand service. Germany will be l responsible for the expenses of the
 high commission and those of mili- 1 tary occupation.
 Germany will undertake to place 1 at the disposal of the Allied troops
 such military establishment and ac-
 communications as may be required. | The transport service and telegraphic
 and postal personnel will obey orders
 given on behalf of the commander
 in-chief of the Allied armies for mill
 itary purposes. The high commits
 sion will have the power, whenever
 it considers it necessary, to declare
 a state of siege in any part or all of
 the territory concerned.
