French Economist Would Make
Next Generation OF Germans
Feel Burden OF War.

PARIS, July 29.-The suggestion
that Germanys time limit for the
payment OF indemnity should be ex-
tended to a century, so that future
German generations would feel the
punishment of war was made today
by jean Rey. noted French financial
expert and economic writer.
I'm the course OF the discussions re-
Earding the method OF payment by
Germany, two most important points
have been lost sight Of" declared NJ.
Rey.
"In the first place, the term OF years
over which the payments are to be
made should not be limited to thirty.
forty, or even fifty years. II should
be 100 at least, so that the next
generations OF Germans would have to
pay a share. In the case of an in
dividuAl, responsibility for payment
- an amount due is prolonged until
his death unless paid. Since a nation
has an indefinite life, why should not
q similar procedure be adopted?
I'm the second place, the payments
for reparatiops should have absolute
preference over all interest paid to
the Germans by their government on
war loans. Germany fioated during
the war about 200, 900. .0O0. 900 marks in

These loans were almost entirely
subscribed at home. Why should not
the allies force Germans who sub
scribed TO these loans to be content
with. say, per cent interest during
a period OF twenty years, so that the
German people can meet their repara'

large percentage of this bill the rate
OF interest for German holders OF war
bonds could be raised
Nothing would serve better to
teach the present generation OF Ger

From the standpoint Of the specula-

expectations. but the difference was not
sufficient to count for much. Lifting
the one-day limit on March fluctua-

intimation of some trouble for the
shorts, and perhaps helped induce some
covering. 1t was also criticized as poor
policy on the part Of the New York ex-
