LAST OFFER OF ALLIES
TO BE MADE TO BERLIN

London, May 4.-The allies are pre-
pairing to submit final proposal to
Germany for the settlement of the
world war reparations.
With the demand that Germany pay
to the allies $33. $50, ,OOO, 900 the supreme
council notified Berlin that penalties
will be exacted If the terms are not nc.
eepted by midnight. of certain day,
believed to be May l2. The note of
the supreme council, providing that the
payment of the debt be by bond is
sue, and exacting an export tax, was to
be transmitted to Berlin by the repara.
tions commission, which body conferred
with the supreme council today.
A copy Of the allied ultimatum will
be sent to Washington, it was learned
The export tax Of 25 to 80 per cent
is expected to yield $5O0,OOO.OOO an
nually.
In the note to the German govern
ment, the supreme council, it is under
stood, will give the Germans until May
IL in which to undertake to comply
II H. understood that the allies will de.
mand that Berlin recognize its liability
for the full fe,sO0, ,OO0, 900 (l32, ,OOO, ,OOo,-
600 marks) at which the reparations
commission has assessed its indebted
ness, and they will require an issue of
bonds bearing per cent. interest to
cover this amount. They recognize,
however, that it is impossible for Ger.
many to pay at the present time $780,
100000 per annum, which the interest
would come to, and they reckon that
all she can at the moment be expected
to pay is flOO.OO0.OO0 and 25 per cent
on the value of her exports.
