The issue is for the construction of
approximately an ceven-m stretch

CONTRARY TO TREATY

the American government against
rulings Of the allied reparations COM
mission that unless the peace treaty,
sale of certain German property in
neutral countries can be forced If
necessary to satisfy the initial pay

requested that German property and all

part of the indemnity due it by Ger
many.

power the commission may require the
