tramps who were hanging around

London, April 26.I,Allied officials
began to gather here today for a
conference preparatory to the meet
ing of the supreme allied council on
Saturday which will discuss finally
Germany's latest reparations pro-
posals. ..
Chief interest in these appeared
to center around the guarantees Of
fered the entente. Advices from
Paris indicated this phase of the pro
posals will be closely examined by
Premier BRAND and the members Of
his cabinet. The French premier is
quoted in dispatches as saying the
guarantees he had in mind as being
acceptable included participation in
the proceeds Of German industries,
a share in Germany's customs re-
ceipts and the deposit of gold by the
Berlin administration. -
DIR. Walter Simons, German for
eign minister, was expected to make
public today at least the outstand-
ing points of Germany's proposals,
he withheld in formation as to de-
tails of terms yesterday because of
an understanding with e. L. Dresel,
American commissioner In Berlin,
but it was rauthoritatively asserted
the sum Germany would be willing
ultimately to pay would be approxi-
mately 2oO,Ooo,0Oo,ooo gold marks
or in the neighborhood Of $50,O00,-
100000. 1t was declared the German
government had suggested that the
amounts to be paid annually should
be conditioned upon the economic
recovery of the couatry. In addition
to the floating of an international
loan. In addition to the proposals Of
fered by the German government
the supreme council will be called
upon to consider the answer OF
Berlin to demand from the allied
reparations commission for the pay
ment Of 1,O00,000,000 gold marks
before Saturday. This sum was ask
ed as a result Of the attitude the
Berlin cabinet has taken toward. the
demand that the gold holdings of the
Refehbank be transferred from Ber-
lin to either Coblenz or Cologne
and in view Of Germany's failure to
fulfill thep rovisions Of article 235
of the Versailles treaty. This article
called upon Germany to pay to the
allies the equivalent of $20,000,-
100000 before May I, 1921.

The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1921-04-27

Germany is disposed to pay in kind
according to scheme as far as pos
sible, purely commercial.
Money in Hand.
"7. In order to give undeniable
proof of her good faith Germany is
prepared Immediately to place at the
disposal of the reparations commits
sion 1000, 100000 marke, comprising
$50, 100000 in gold and silver in for
eign exchange and 850,000,000 gold
marks in treasury notes, redeemable
within. three months in foreign ex-
change or foreign securities.
8. "In the event the United States
and the allies so desire, Germany is
willing, according to the extent of her
ability and capacity, to assume the al
lied obligations to the United States.
"9. Germany proposes to negotiate,
with the assistance of experts, as to
the way in which, German deliveries
for reparations will be reckoned az
against the total of Germany's debt,
particularly respecting the way in
which the price value will be fixed.
80. AS security for credits accord
ed her, Germany is willing to pledge
public revenues and properties in a
manner to be determined between the
contracting parties.
al. With the acceptance of these
proposals, Germany's other repara-
tions and obligations will be annulled
and all German private property in
foreign countries will. be released.
"12. Germany declares the present
proposals only capable of being car
riei out if the system of penalties is
discontinued forthwith and she is
freed from all unproductiye outlays
now imposed on her and that she be
given freedom of trade.
I'm the event in differences of
opinion arising from an examination
of the proposals, the German govern
ment recommends that they be sub
mitted for examination to a commits
sion of recognized experts acceptable
to all interested governments. She
declares herself ready in advance to
accept as binding any decision reach
ed by the commission.
"Should any other form of propos-
ais in the view of the American gov
ernnent facilitate further negotia-
|tions of the question, the German gov
ernment would ask to have its atten-
ton drawn to any points in which al
teration is in the opinion of the Am
erican government, desirable. The
German, government would also well
come other proposals from the Am
erican government"
Finally, tie note says: The German
government is too deeply convinced
of che fact that the peace and wei
fare of the world are dependent upon
speedy, just and fair solution of
the reparations question, not to do
everything within it's power in order
to enable the American governmen.
to direct the attention Of the allied
governments to the matter"
