BERLIN, Feb. 1.-THE Ministry of FL
nance has reached the conclusion that
the utmost sum Germany can pay in
reparations is 50,O00 900. 900 marks,
this including all she has SO far paid in
cash and goods. according TO informa-
tion which the Deutschc Zeitun1 says 1t
Gas received from a Special source.
This 10000. 100000 marks would be
paid off in thirty years under the plan
outlined by the newspapers informant,
who also is quoted as declaring that
the proposal to pay IL would be sub
mitted to the authorities at Paris for
he purpose Of learning whether the
coming London conference on repara-
tions will permit OF it's consideration
along with the allied proposals adopted
at the recent Paris conference.
lDr. Hickman. German Privy Coun-
cillor and president of the Federal Rep
arations Commission, in a statement is
sued in Berlin on February .. estimated
that Germany had already made rep
oTations TO the Allies amounting 10 at
least 10000, 10000 marks - normally

that after Germany had won the war
the Allies would have to pay her an in
demnity of 10000. .00o. 900 gold marks
normally 1900 OO0OO0
Refusal to allow consideration of the
German counter proposal would result
in Germany absenting herself from the

adds that Germany would then suggest
that the United safes be called i'm as
an arbitrator for the purpose of pre-
venting the Entente from adopting
measures such as an invasion of the
Ruhr district. which II declares would
be looked upon by Germany as an ac,
OF war which would positively destroy

be invited TO mediate fails to arouse
enthusiasm in the Conservative indus

fear that the American verdict in such
a case. while deciding on sum between
that submitted by Germany and tho
Entente figures. would be moro likely
