STAGGERING
AMOUNT THAT
THE HUN HAS
To PAY
The Allied Supreme Council
Has Agreed that Germany
Must Pay Approximately
Fifty-six Billion Dollars
for Practice of Kultur.
(By Associated Press,

PARIS, Jan. 29.-The Allied Su-
preme Council has approved the Ger
man reparations plans drafted by the
special committee appointed for that
purpose.
Germany by the terms of the plan
adopted is required to pay 26,OOO,-
100000 gold marks in AZ annual pay
ments.
The first two installmepts are to be
of two billion marks each. The next
payment three billions marks, the next
four billion and the next three, five
billions each. The final payments, in
thirty-one installments are of six bill
lion marks each.
In addition Germany is required to
pay twelve per cent tax on her ex-
ports. This calculated on the basis OF
German exports for 1918 total little
more than billion and half marks.
The plan submitted places the bur-
den of collecting the tax on the Allied
Preparations Committee. 1t is under
stood, that for the purpose of induc-
ing Germany to pay off the repara-
tions debt as rapidly as possibly she
will be allowed discounts on the an
nual payments. These discounts are
fixed at eight per cent for the first
two years, six per cent for the two
following and five per cent for the
remaining thirty-eight payments.
The report of the Military Commit
tee on the disarmament Of Germany
has virtually been adopted by the
council.
1t provides for the disabandonment
of the Einwohnenwhar, or so-called
civic guards, which are not permittei
under the treaty of Versailles. The
penalties for failure, states Premier
BRAND, are stronger than those ar
ranged at the Spa conference.
The total reparations payments
called for equal approximately $780,

MUST be installed.
A permanent water supply MUST

All possible danger from floot

Farmers, merchants. business men
growers, of the Imperial Valley, all
these things MUST be done before
the Federal Land Bank can come tc
yur aid and help finance you in the

This is the official and final pro-
nlnciamento of the president of the
Federal Land Bank of Berkeley, given
to the people of the valley, in letter
received this morning by Mr.. R. H
Clark, president of the Imperial Coun-
ty Farm Bureau.
The farm bureau officials and di-
rcctors have contended for years fol-
these improvements, and urged time
and again that they were absolutely
vital for the permanent success of the
valley.
The letter from President Willard

which follows, is not uncertain, or ul-
equivocal in its terms:

Dear SIR
Replying to your letter of January
18th:
We have written number of times
to farmers in Imperial Valley, also to
the newspapers and representatives
of Water Companies. We believe that
they thoroughly understand the rea-
sons why this bank is not making
longtime leans in the valley. We re-
gret to saw that instead of some OF
them setting out to remedy the de-
fees, thev have rather chosen to abuse
this bank.
We are now, and always have been
ready to assist the farmers in the inn
Ierial Valley, as fas as we are able
so that they may assist themselves by
correcting water and drainage con-
ditions. Conditions in the valley Will
not be permanently good for loanine
purposes until there is an adequate
water supply at reasonable rate. un'
til there is permanent diversion dam
until the All American Canal is bull
and until a comprehensive drainage
system is installed. 1t will be yer!
desirable to have storage facilities, 81
