GRAFTON, namely, the immediate es-
tablishment by Germany of an ac-
tual sum OF cash money in foreign
exchange. Of important proper
tions, it is obvious that Germany
can fulfill this obligation only
through -arge increases in the vol
ume OF her exports. The memo
randa prepared by the economic ex-
perts of Germany for use at the
conference at London demonstrated
how huge this increase in Ger
many's exports necessarily would
be IL great sums of money were
thereby to be obtained and the
menace this great increase would
imply to the economics1ife of other
countries. Conceding even this, 1t
further remains that the sums in
cash required could not be imme-
diately realized.
other considerations have been
advanced at various times, among
them the proposal that our former
opponents in the great war should
participate in the returns from Ger
man industry, either through TAX
ing shares of the capital stocks of
German companies or by other
fofms Of the sharing of profits.
Such proposal would produce only
proceeds in paper marks, valueIess
to foreign creditors. Indeed the al
lied and associated governments
themselves negatived these propo-
sails in the treaty of Versailles by
taking for themselves a first mort
gage on the total wealth and all
sources of income of the German
commonwealth and states. In. ad-
dition to this. the allied. and as
sociated governments in their de-
llberations at Paris reserved for
themselves the decision as to what
opportunity, il any, Germany may
in any instance be given to obtain
credits abroad. because England
and France are themselves in debt
beyond their limit and the granting
of a credit to Germany by a neu-
tral power is blocked by the gen.
eral mortgage.

Invites Experts.
Germany stands ready to meet
any proposal which appears feasible
for the solution OF the economic
and financial problems OF Europe.
and would invite the examination
by unbiased experts of its own
ability to make payment. 1t is the
opinion Of Germany that the heavy
weight of debt now borne by all the
states which were participants in
the world war, and the damages
which were wrought in the course
of that war. cannot be laid upon the
shoulders of any single people. Ger
many believes also that a policy of
duress and coercion will not bring
about the reconstruction of interna-
tional economic life, and that only
by way of peaceful discussion and
understanding can such reconstruc-
tion be obtained. The German gov
