The slow strangulation of Germany

front The 3rsbuHe's washington Burcau
WASHINGTON, w Jan. 81. - Although
Senators to-day were reticent about
discussion of the German reparations
terms for publication there was plenty
OF comment under the surface. The
feeling is general that it is desirable
to have the amount of the indemnity
fixed and that if Germany agrees to
the terms the start will have been
made, toward sterilization of interna.
tional credit and restoration Of condi.
tions in international business which
more and more will tend toward
normal.
I Whether the terms are wise or
whether they are excessive is some
thing as to which there is divergence
OF opinion. One view Is that the Su.
preme Council of the Allies is we'll in.
formed as to the amount Germany car
and will pay. The other is that the
burden placed on Germany is greater
than the nation can bear"
Senator Lodge, chairman Of the For.
elgn Relations Committee, although
keen1y Interested in the decision of the
Supreme Council, declined to discuss
1t. Senator Knox was equally reticent
senator Underwood, Democratic leader
of the Senate, had nothing to say.
The attitude Of most of the Senators
is that the United States is fortunate
in not being involved in the Scontro-
versy ever reparations.
The IL per cent export tax is being
studied closely both by Republican anc
Democratic leaders, Senator Hoke
smith, of Georgia, one of the Demo
cratic leaders, said he regarded it as
very Objectionable.
That a separate peace will soon be
made by this country with Germany is
expected, and active steps are being TAX
en- to renew trade with that country
Some of the comment here is that if ii
is found the 12 per cent export tax in.
terferes with trade between the two
countries the United Staths will be in
strong enough position To force modi-
ticatl0n of it, Democrats pointed out
that one effect Of the export tax would
be to tend to give other countries OF
Europe and also Japan the advantage
over Germany in the American market
The logical outcome of this would be
that the United States would be ham
pered to an extent in getting into the
German market
When it comes to making up the new
tariff bill next spring, the export tax
of 12 per cent undoubtedly will have
to be taken into account. Certain ex-
perts say Germany can meet the handi-
cap of the export tax and still produce
goods for export more cheaply than her
chief competitors.
Effects of the export tax on South
American business is another subject
of interest in connection with that
topic. 1t IS pointed out that unless
Germany can much outdistance Eng
land, FRANCE, Italy and other com
petmg countries in reduction Of costs
of manufacture she will be greatly
hampered in reaching cut for Latin
American business. The same applies
to Russian trade and world trade
