TREATY NOW DEAD,

/. Good Sense"

BERLIN. Nov 2s.-The German
government. on the basis OF reports
SO far received here, considers the
peace treaty virtually dead. according
to a semi-official statement at the
foreigA office today.
The action OF the American Senate
as reported in Berlin, caused German
officials to look upon the Senate's ac-
tons as triumph OF American good
sense" The American Senators real.
lied the treaty was Impossible they
said. Officials expressing this view
saw the possibility that the Amerf-
can Senate decision might eventually
influence the remainder Of the hostile
powers to modify the peace treaty.
On the other hand, IL was pointed
out, Americas absence on supervisory
commission, enforcing the terms OF
the treaty, would give France and
Great Britain a "freer hand in op-
pressing Germany" American repre-
sentation. on the other hand. these of.
ficials declared, would mean "faire,

There was no inclination to believe,
according to statements at the for
eign office, that the American SEN

The Pan-Germanists in Berlin seized
upon the news with unconcealed Joy.
They took the view that the Senate's

GERMANY PLANS
TAX ON EXPORTS
Cabinet Seeks to Stop dump.
ing" of Goods on World
Markets.
~ KARL n. Won wIEGAND.

BERLIN. Nov. 23.-Alafmed over the
threatening defensive legislation in
England, America and other nations
against the dumping of German
good into those markets, the German
the purpose of finding some means Of
obviating this practice. The levying
OF an export duty is under considera-
ton as the first step to deter firms
from sending their goods into foreign
markets at prices that defy competf-
tion because of the depreciation of the
German mark.
The government, as It was explained
to me, takes the view that the prac-
tice which il causing grave alarm
among manufacturers in England and
America, has been forced upon Ger
many by the decrease In the value Of
the mark, which IL it should continue
would make il impossible for other
nations to compete with Germany in
the world markets.
Ne Advantage to Germany.
1t Is considered that this condition,
far from being an advantage to Ger
many, II altogether undesirable and
that the raising OF the value Of the
mark Is of far greater Importance
than this temporary trade advantage.
1t Is pointed out that Holland,
Switzerland. Denmark and other
countries are placing orders in Ger
many and buying everything saleable
at riduculously low prices. which are
made possible by the fact that their
money ranges in value from ten to
seventeen times that Of the mark and
that the price obtained by the Ger
man dealers when re-translated into
foreign exchange is not sufficient to
provide raw materials.
Coupon Tax Considered.
The Governments view that it is OF
the most vital importance to Germany
herself to prevent dumping in order
to avert a defensive lineup of the
world markets against her manufac-
turers and that a stin export tax is
absolutely necessary until the value
of German money rises. Conferences
on the subject have been called for
the coming week.
The heavy burden of taxation now
carried by the Germans is to be in
creased soon Foreign Minister Ers-
berger, i am informed, is working on
coupon tax to be levied on dividends
and interest coupons OF all dividend
paying stocks, loans, securities and
mortgages OF every description. This
is to be in addition to the income tax
paid on such holdings as well as to
the heavy national emergency sacrifi-
cial tax, as the one-time capital tax
Is called. In discussing this matter
leading bankers are bitterly denounc-
ing Ersbergers various tax schemes
as In part impractical and ruinous.
