Describes German OutIooL

BERLIN, March n Germany is not
bankrupt, because 1t has the possibility
Of work, Or. Schiller, German Minister
OF Finance, told the correspondent to-
day IN discussing the financial stua-
tion. But" he continued, "she will
become bankrupt so far as it is DOS
slble to say at present, whenever the
possibility of working is taken away.
"The financial outlook simply disap-
pears into nothingness in case of an
unfavorable peace that does not give
US an opportunity to recover our equi-
librium"
DR.. Schiller repeated the German
plant that delay in making peace in
creases the danger of Bolshevism, but
expressed optimism for the future if
Germany is able to obtain food and
raw material. The minister said that
special inducements in the form of
lighter taxation or immunity from Ger
tain taxes would be offered to foreign.
especially American, capital.
Opportunity for Americans
I'm any event. he said, "no Ameri-
can or other foreigner not a resident
of Germany will be subject TO prom
erty taxes. Similarly, Germans resi-
dents abroad will be free from prom
erty tax. Americans, and other foreign-
ers will be immune from the 10 Der
cent tax which it is planned to i'm
pose upon investment capital"
The Finance Minister pointed out
that American investment was especial
~ favorable under the present rete of
exchange.
After remarking that the new Ger
man taxation system must await the
peace treaty, the Finance Minister said
that Germany was faced with the pay
ment. first, of its before the-war debts
and credits granted by neutrals; sec
ond, with internal war debts loans
In support Of war sufferers and so
forth--and third. the indemnity it NAV
nave to pay. Until the amount of the
indemnity was definitely established.
there could be no taxation legislation
beyond general outlines.
Must Pay Old Debts
DR.. Schiller insisted upon the neces-
slty of paying old obligations, owing to
the urgent need of credit with which to
rehabilitate the country. He said he
realized that the amount which would
nave to be raised woald be very great,
but he believed it could be raised.
The Finance Minister declared that
every known means of raising money
would be resorted to, especially through
direct and indirect taxes. The minis
ter said he wanted to warn the public
that taxation would be extended to a
degree hitherto unknown in Germany
and IN frankly -plutocratic way.
lie said that income property would be
taxed heavily. both for the purpose of
raising money and for the economic
effect on prices. because the minister
believes that prices will fall as the pur-
chasing power Of the mark decreases.

TOXIC, Feb. 27 Correspondence of
The Associated Press In the House
Of Peers to-day a member presented
an Interpolation regarding the terms
and the period of enforcement of the
"gentlemen's agreement" concluded in
1907 between Japan and the United
States, and asked whether the agree
ment is intended to be kept in force
forever He said he had heard that
the regulation of emigration was en-
forced more strictly by the Japanese
authorities than by the Americans He
wanted to know the reason why Jap
anese are being subjected to such reg
ulations, while Mexicans and Filipinos
are freely admitted to America.
NJ. Shidehara, Vice Minister of For
eign Affairs, replied that the so-callcd
"gentlemens agreement" did not eX-
ist. There was voluntary declara-
ton made by Japan for regulating
the influx of Japanese to America. 1t
means that no Japanese may emigrate,
but that those who are already in
America are free to call their families
from Japan. The Imperial Govern
ment is bound to live up to its declara-
ton, he said. Many a time anti-Jap-
anese laws are understood to have
been brought before American legis-
latures, but owing to, and in apprecia-
ton Of, Japan's efforts. all such anti
Japanese measures have failed to pass.
The declaration will be kept in force
for some time yet; it may be abol-
ished when the Japanese immigrants
convince the American authorities that
their presence is no cause Of danger
to American institutions.

WOULD WITHDRAW DEMANDS
Miners Ask That Injunction Be Can
ceIed. Proposal Rejected

Washington, Nov. 5.-Organized
labor's proposal for ending the coal
strike through withdrawal of injunc-
ton proceedings against officers OF
the United Nine Workers of America,
was bluntly rejected today by the
DEPARTMENT of Justice.
The governments answer to the
-.nion suggestion advanced by Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor, was given by
Associate Attorney General Ames,
who declared the strike in itself was
a violation of law and that as long
as it continued the only place to fight
it out was in court.
Labor leaders, visibly disturbed by
this refusal, agreed with the opera
tors on one important point-that the
statement of the governments posi-
ton swept away all hope of imme-
diate settlement of the strike involv-
ing more than 100000 soft coal min
ers in twenty-eight States.
The restraining order issued by
Federal Judge Anderson at Indiana
polls last week was made returnable
Saturday. Counsel for the miners will
60 into court that day and ask fol-
dismissal of$the proceedings. One OF
two things will happen:
The court, according to officials
here, either will grant the plea OF
the miners or continue the temporary
injunction until later date for a IL
nal hearing and put into effect a man,
datory order to John L. Lewis acting
president of the miners organization
to call off the strike.
