Paris, Feb. 2 (by The AS
sociated Press) Germany
is told how to eliminate the
76 billion marks deficit in
her 1920 budget in the re-
port of the allies of the con-
ference of financial experts
held in Brussels, made pub.
lie here today.
Certain German expenses
are declared to have been
multiplied rs times over
sthose of 1919 and certain
German taxes are shown to
be far below those the al
lid populations are paying
The report says the 1919 and
1920 budgets of Germany carried
several credits which were only
partly dlsburscd, such as 16,500,-
100000 marks for the allied armies
of occupation expenses, of which

ried $4,000, 100000 marks for exc
cution of the peace treaty while
only 7.OO0,0OO,OOO marks had been
| paid out up to December I.
Appropriations Increased.
Items not justified or greatly
multiplied over previous appropria-
tions are said to appear in the
1920 budget. The ministry of the
interior appropriation was raised
| from 100000 marks to ABB
100000 marks. The foreign affairs
allowance was increased from "a,
100000 marks to 295, 1000, 00C
marks. The postal and telegraph
employees expenses multiplied
seven times. Thirty-two billion
marks were listed for economic
subsidies, said to be largely unnec.
essary, The deficit OF 5000, 900.
600 marks in railways and other
governmental operations should be
eliminated through disappearance
of the items charged and increas-
ing of rates. The German answer

nent employees than before the war
Taxes Are Inadequate.
German direct taxes are deemed
adequate, but the indirect taxes, in
cluding taxes on alcohol, tobacco
sugar and other articles are de-
clared to be greatly insufficient.
Coal is calculated to cost the
French population four and one
half times what the Germans pay,
according to the purchasing power
of the mark. Increased customs
have been urged because of the low
value of the mark and the failure
of salaries in Germany to increase
Lroportionately are said to give the
Germans an advantage that might
result in protective tariffs, so that
it would be to the interest of Ger
many to anticipate such action.
This recommendation was made on
January II and therefore. prior to
the allied supreme councils plan
for II per cent war tax on Ger
| man exports.
The report expresses the willing
ness of the allies to aid Germany
to improve conditions.

debate on the military appropria-
ton bill that he had been informed
by Mr.. Harding that the latter fa-
vored a regular army of l75,O0O

military training of 10000 men
annually.
The house naval committee re-
ceived from General Pershing a
warning against fostering national
spirit of pacifism and unprepared-
ness. This warning tempered his
approval of a world disarmament
conference, and was accompanied
, by a declaration that until all world
powers had agreed on a disarma-
ment policy, it would be "unwise
and unsafe" for the United States
to discontinue carrying out Its
army and navy policies.
