denies receiving or sending any other

FulAlment OF Germany's reparation
ton OF Germany industry II these
pledges are to be carried out. Matthias
Erzberger, one time Minister OF Finance,
and who IS reported 10 be close to the
now Chancellor, Julius wirth. declared
ct a convention of the Centrist party.
Some well informed observers have ex-
pressed the opinion that Herr Erzberger
laid down the platform OF the Wirth
Ministry when ne said each branch or
German industry must become self
governing and regulate It's own exports
and the payment OF Its own taxes.
This means tho partial adoption by
Erzberger OF DR.. Gustav Suesemanns
tax reform policy with which the latter
as leader OF the Industrial party hoped
10 simplify Germany's financial chaos In
case he became Chancellor. Strese-
nann's plan was to permit German in
dustry to collect Its own taxes. the Gov
erninent's only function being to assess
each branch OF industry lump sum-
The manufacturers associations would
then distribute the burden as they chose
and according to their own knowledge
Of the individual prosperity OF their
members.
Herr Erzbereer goes somewhat be-
yond this In his scheme by recommend
ing that labor be more active in indus
trial management and that the workers
have some kind Of a group share in the
ownership and earnings of the plants
where they are employed.
Some scheme of voluntary tax collec-
ton IS now advocated in nearly all Ger
man political camps and some arrange
ment of this kind Is regarded as likely

to come into practice. IT is conceivable
only in a country like Germany, whose
industry is already closely knit together
by the various forms of collective ac-
tion now practised. Nearly all the ma
jor German industries fix prices and
wages by collaboration with the Gov
ernment and with labor, and they regu-
late labor and trade relations by a
legalized collective system. The ten
denoy since the armistice has been
toward more intensified association, and
it is now assumed that the reparations
solution will require an even stricter
and more compact STANDARDIZATION.
Herr Erzberger also raised the baf-
fling question of whether Germany
would be able to raise two billion marks
gold yearly for PREPARATIONS besides the
26 per cent of the value OF exports. He
declared that while he could not answer
this question he believed that failure
was more probable than success. But
In no case, he said. could II be done by
individualistic capitalism. German
prices would have 10 be controlled and
raised generally. especially on coal.
I'VE dare not be the cheapest country
in the world" he said.
Herr Erzberger declared that Ger
many's policy toward the Versailles
treaty must be to fulfil II. and, secondly
she must prevent allied occupation OF
another square inch OF German territory
or any revision of the allied terms to
Germany's detriment, especially by the
infliction Of economic penalties, While
doing this on one hand, he continued.
Germany must accept every opportunity
to obtain modification OF the terms in
her own favor
He advised that every nerve be
strained TO deposit two billion marks
gold in advance with the Reparation
Commission aH a guarantee on pay
ments. Only through payments in ad-
vance. he concluded, could Germany
manage to hold the Allies back from
melting out 10 her disastrous punishment
