BERLIN, November S-The Ger
man government announced today
during debate on taxes in the reich
stag that 1t was planning stringent
measures to curb speculation and
traffic in foreign exchange
Minister of Economics Schmidt also
disclosed that 1,000,000.00O marks
worth of French wines, champagne
and other liquors We're entering Ger
many through the jmport-control sta
tion at Ems. and that French per-
fumes, cosmetics and "other super
tiuous articles of luxury" were like
wise pouring into the country.
HumOr I'm Situation.
Were our situation not so tragic
declared Herr Schmidt, this concep-
ton on the part of the entente of
our internal needs would have hu-
merous aspect. But the situation is
simply that either we are to consume
fingers at the reparations obliga-
tions. or that We are to resolve to
fulfill our obligations. in which case
we shall be compelled to decline the
French libations."
The debate revealed strong con-
on budgets and deficits and the in
dependent estimates compiled by DR..
Karl Helfferich, former secretary of
the imperial treasury, who declared
that the spectacle of the food minister
running the finance ministry as a side
issue was symtomatic of the govern
ment's helplessness. Dr. Helfferich
estimated that the deficit would reach
82,O0O.000.000 marks, instead Of
10000, 100000. the figure submitted
by Andreas Hermes. the food minister.

Helfferich declared, to-day either is
an official or civil servant, while the
public pay roll contains the names of
at least 100000 political appointees.
