Especial Despatch to The Reformer. }
Copyright 1921.
WASHINGTON. Feb. /. - While
there is general approval here of the
idea of fixing definitely the sum the Ger
mans must pay as war rcparation. there
is considerable murmuring and. indeed.
dissatisfaction over what amounts to an
attempt To make the American people
pay part of the German indemnity.
The section of the allied proposal which
| Is coming in for severe criticism i'm con-
gresSiOnal circles is that which would
levy 1212 per cent tax on the exports
of Germany. This means that the
American purchaser of German goods
would have to pay the tax and the money
would go into the pockets. of the allies.
| Indeed, the tariff experts here caIcu-
| late that the 12la per cent tax on Ger
| man exports will operate as a protective
| tariff would operate if imposed at this
| end-t Will keep out certain German
| goods altogether and will let in other
| kinds that must be bought. But it will
| be with this difference: When the
| American congress imposes a protective
| tarIh on foreign goods the money goes
| INTO the American treasury and helps
| pay government bills and reduces the
/ amount that must be raised by direct
| taxation. The action of the allies in i'm
| posing an export tax simply means that
| the American people who buy German
goods will pay the tax to the allies and
| thus relieve the Germans of part. at
| least, of their obligations
| Tariff authorities here insist. more
over, that a flat 1919 per cent tax on
| exports Is not only unscientific, but I'M
| equal and discriminatory and will re-
|
| the countries which are reached through
| Germany. as 4 distributing center in
middle Europe. Anything that restricts
| trade, incidentally, is frowncd upon be-
| cause 1t is realized here that if Germany
| Is to pay her annual payments on the in
demnIty. she must make money some
| how, and she cannot make money if her
goods are not sold. Similarly-and here
| Is where the most vital factor of the
/ whole question comes in-unleSS Ger
many can sell goods to the United States
| she will not have the money to buy
| featured articles because she will not
| have the money to pay for it. Interna-
| tIonal trade is entirely a question of eX-
change of goods. All parties on this
side OF the ocean attribute the recent
| falling off in American trade to the in
ability of the European countries to nav
| for goods in the American dollar at pres
| ent exchange rates. If the balance of
| trade should continue on this side of the
| Atlantic, the chance of equalizing ex-
change win be diminished.
So it is thought in Washington that
whatever advantages may seem to ac-
| crue immediately out of the proposal to
| fix definite sum for the indemnity NAV
be offset when it is realized what a Suf-
locating influence the 1919 per cent tax
may have on the entire trade situation.
Moreover, the United States has the gold
supply at present and any plan for the
revival of world trade must contemplate

The long recess started yesterday was

some inducement to America to buy
goods abroad. The 121a per cent tax
may prevent American purchases alto
gethcr. 1t is predicted that the Ameri-
can people will not want to be in the
position of indirectly paying the German
indemnity to the allies for the penalty
would not be imposed upon the German
purchaser, but the American consumer.
Considerable resentment is expressed
privately by son" of our legislators that
an action 80 yi,,.l to American trade
could be taken without an American
voice IN the proceedings. 1t was recog-
nized by President Wilson at the Paris
conference that this whole question
would involve American trade and there
fore the reparationS commission. which
WAS to do the job that the allied premiers
now are doing, was to have on il an
American representative. The allies
waited in vain for the United States TO
ratity the treaty 50 that the PREPARATIONS
question could be taken up immediately
When Mr.. Wilson saw that the treaty
might b" subject of prolonged contro-
Ner~N ne asked the senate To permit him
to appoint an American member of the
separations commission. but Senator
Lodge and the Republican majority de-
Chned to give that permission. The al
lies have gone ahead without the United
States and made arrangements Satisfac-
tory to themselves.
There IL still a group of thinkers i'm
the American senate who believes that n
simple declaration of peace by joint rCSo-
luton by congress will give America all
the benefits of the treaty of Versailles
without compelling her to accept any of
the obligations but international lawyers
say that if the separations agreement
goes through and is accepted by Ger
many. the United States will BE- con
frOuted with an accomplished fact and
viii not be able to change the agreement
except by beginning q trade war and Il
system of retaliatOry tariffs against the
allies. The hope here is that the Ger
mans Will decline 10 pay the export tax
while accepting on the other hand the
main proposals for the payment of an
indemnity in annual sums.
Another interesting phase of the con
trOversy ~ that the allies will have nego-
tiated an understanding with Germany
before President Harding is inaugurated
and has an opportunity to arrange for
separate peace. Germany will have
signed away all her trade obligations so
that unless the United States agrees to
sign the treaty of Versailles she will
not get any of the advantages of that
treaty by a separate negotiation with
Germany. but will have to apply to the
allies themselves. In some quarters the
whole situation is regarded as one of
slowly forcing America to take a hand
in the treaty of Versailles whether She
wants to or not only this time the allies
instead of President Wilson are applying
the pressure through economic instru-
mentalities
