elared, and its value should be credited
- Germany. It was said the Berlin
government had thus far received only
lists OF claims from the Allies for pur-
poses Of observation. These lists had
been closely examined and suggestion
WAS made that negotiations between
Germany and the Reparations Commits
sion, should begin in the near future,
to decide which deliveries can definitely
be demanded, and which, In view Of
Germany's economic position, cannot be
executed
Proposals were made that Germany
create . dual organization of her en-
tire industry and labor for the pur-
pose Of affecting these deliveries. In
cases where special. engineering mate
rial or similar products were to be
turned over distribution should be
carried out through the trade associa-
tions Of each particular industry, but
where they were so-called catalogue
goods deliveries would be made by
clearing houses in, various parts. of
states in the republic would parcel
out deliveries through special contract
boards which have been formed, or are
being constituted, in Prussia, Bavaria,
Saxony, WIrtemburg, Baden. Hesse,
Thuringia and the Hanseatic towns.
All associations and boards would be
compelled by law from the execution
of the peace treaty to produce the out
put demanded.
Recommendation was made that each
Allied and Associated power create a
two-fold organization for the exami-
nation and reception of deliveries, re-
spectively. The former would be nee
essary because the lists submitted to

claims which were subsequently settled
by direct orders from the persons af-
fected and paid by drafts on the repa-
rations accounts of the Allies. The
task of the second organization would
be to take final deliveries of goods
and assume responsibility for any de-
fciencies.
AL organizations concerned must be
developed on basis of absolute parity
between employer and employed, and
special measures must be taken to pre-
vent abuses. Examination of this plan,
the statement said, should be entrusted
to commission of experts, and Ger
many was ready to Immediately present
Its list of members of such q body.
Subcommittee should be formed to
deal with various categories of goods.
After declaring Germany was ready,
because of her concern as to future
peace, to undertake to assist in the
reconstruction of devastated regions,
the statement made suggestions for the
organization of colonization scheme
by which those who suffered from the
war could start life anew When the
work of reconstructing homes, rebuild
ing roads and restoring farms is COM
pleted the plan would permit people
formerly resident in the affected re-
giens to return to their homes, or
people from other parts of the war
zone could move to new regions. This
colonization scheme would be operated
on business, and not bureaucratic lines.
and be run in such way that undue
profits could not be exacted from the
people seeking homes.
If this plan should be accepted in
principle. the statement said, CON
ference should be held to consider it's
practical execution. Such conference
would be attended by representatives
of those countries wishing to partici
pate. in the work, delegates accredited
to the populations of devastated areas
and men who would represent employ
ers and employees engaged in the
work.
