AMERICAS CLAIM
AGAINST GERMANY
IS |SS1,OOO,OOO,OOO
Total Claims of All Allies
Reduced to S4O,OoO,OOo, 900
Plans for Collection.

PARIS. March 81 tAssociated
Press) The United States has put in
maximum claim for loss OF life and
property during the war aggregating
a little less than a billion dollars,
the amount for individual loss Of life
being $4,000 In each case.
The chief issue OF the question Of
roparations is not what Germany
should pay but what she can pay.
The commissions which have studied
the subject have gradually reduced
the claims to a total OF about 100000
600 900
one proposal was TO spread the
payment over forty years. on this
ba sis the principal, with interest,
would amount to $50, 900 900, 900 At
the end OF the period. Against this
proposal the Comisslon has estimated
all the available wealth and resources
OF Germany at home and abroad. Tho
American view as to these estimates
is that sl2,OOO.oOO,OOO is the utmos'
that can be expected.
All outside property is regarded BY
the Commission as subject to contls-
cation by the Allied and associated
powers. Should this view prevail II
would yield $S,OOO,OOO,OOO for thci'
immediate liquidation Of war losses.
Serious division Of opinion also ex-
lists over the allotment OF damage
