BERLIN, July 23.-Karl Helfferich,
Minister Of Finance, with The title of
e-Chancellor in the last Imperial
Cabinet, in published letter brings
grave charges against Erzberger in
volvlng corruption. He says that Err
berger was chosen during the war as
arbitrator to settle the difference be-
tween the Imperial Treasury and a pri-
vate company. Erzberger, he accuses,
decided in favor Of the company, and
then three weeks later was selected a
member of the company's board Of di-
rcctors, to which office big bonuses are
attached.
Heltferich further calls attention to
the fact that he four times within the
last few weeks has publicly accused
Erzberger of misstatements and has
declared himself ready to use palmer
language in order to give Erzberger
an opportunity to bring suit and COM
pei him to testify. but Erzberger has
not acted.
The "Dcutsche Allgemeineze zeitung'
replies to Heltferich's charges against
Erzberger, evidently in behalf of the
latter, that Erzberger was only one Of
two arbitrators. He represented the
company. the other represented the
Treasury, Erzberger merely agreeing
to the finding of the Trensurys arb-
traitor, which disallowcd So per cent
Of the company's claims.
