much OF anything in gold.
Various schemes have been pro-
posed by the German National Man
ufacturers Association for sharing
the governments financial burdens
Last August they volunteered put
ting up their combined works and
assets as a basis for a foreign loan
of billion and a nalf gold marks
to meet reparations payments. As
they saw 1t, this loan and payment
wou1d convince the Allies of Ger
many's good intentions to meet rep
arations obligations as far as pos
sible, and would provide time to
find better methods to make subse-
quent payments.
Although this original scheme has
not been adopted, two others are
under discussion, either one Of
which would utilize the collaboration
OF German industry 10 the fullest
extent.
Farming out all taxes through a
sort OF taxation syndicate OF Ger
man industries horizontally COM
bined is the present proposal Of
German manufacturers, made at
the National Economic Council. In
common accord with them, the gov
fernment would fix the total amount
of taxation and then leave them free
! to distribute and to collect It among
their agents.
That this method would put the
financial control OF the government
entirely in the hands OF big indus
try is the main objection of Ger
mans who jealousy guard State SOW
ereignty. They. with the approval
/ of Premier Wirth have prepared an
other bill which would do just the
reverse and put the total assets OF
German industry at the disposal OF
the government as a basis for rails
ing foreign loans. Whichever OF the
two schemes is finally adopted is OF
secondary importance to the fact
that German manufacturers have
demonstrated their intention Of Wig
orously supporting the government
in an effort to meet domestic and
foreign obligations
Lloyd George and BRAND NAV
agree al, their now-near conference
on the subject that since what the,
want is the gold and as much of ii
as there is to be had by whatever
practicable means, they would dc
the wise thing to grant tke exten-
sion which is necessary anyhow. and
see what the Germans themselves
can do under these unfavorable cir
4 stances to raise the cash for the
! payments later.

Germanys Reparutions Default
(From the New YORK Herald)

Germany's notice to the Repara-
tions Commission that she cannot
meet her January and February
payments will not be a surprise TO
the Allies 1t is on this very subject
that Lloyd George and BRAND ar
ranged several days ago to have a
conference Monday in London.
These practical statesmen may have
different opinions as to the best
way to tide Germany over to a more
favorable day and situation for pay
ing the 5OO.OOOOOO gold marks due
on January IS. and another pay
ment due Februarym They must
be in accord, however. on the home
Is axiom that you cannot get blood
out OF a stone and that If Germany
cannot pay now she cannot.
The paper mark has fallen so low
recently that Il has been Of very
little use i'm raising the gold which
is required by the reparations agree
ment for the payments. SO Ger
many asks for an extension until she
can obtain the necessary gold, either
through an Improvement in the
value Of the debased paper mark or
some loan to be arranged on a basis
OF commodities and other property
for security.
What the Allies can do with the
heavily indebted and hard pressed
/ German government is just what a
| private creditor does with a private
debtor who cannot pay on time.
They can give the German govern
ment the requested extension,
meanwhile doing whatever else they
think is good business to enable the
/ helpless debtor to get into a better
position for payment. or they can in
effect throw the debtor into bank
ruptcy.
But forcing Germany into the
hands of receivers for the benefit of
the allied creditors might be even
less productive Of immediate gold
than letting the Germans work out
their own payments as best they
can. The German government as
such, has virtually no convertible
property or other material assets
! which could be easily turned over
to the creditors What Germany pays
through whatever process must
come from German industry and
the German public. and the German
government in the very nature OF
things could get more and get il

Eamon de Valera. unfortunately
so placed as to be able to do great
make difficult the development Of
Irish freedom. He already has sue
ceeded in splitting south Ireland
and has furnished skeptical Ulster
new reason for objecting to Sim
Fein control.
What is the issue in Dublin? It is
whether there shall be an end to a
dispute seven centuries old. The
question is so transcendent in inn
portance that it's consideration
should broaden the narrowest soul.
And what does De Valera do? He
starts an acrimonious debate over
whether the Irish delegates at Lon
Ion should have signed before they
submitted their work for ratifca-
ton. They followed the usual course
Of negotiations, but De Valera holds
he should have been consulted.
De Valera is a professor OF math-
omatics, but metaphysics is his spe-
cialty. He subordinates the matter
Of the contents OF the document,
which somehow reached the Dali
Eireann. to the matter of how 1t
came there. This is Of course, child
ish. The circumstances are not such
as to warrant a debate over pro-
cedure to the neglect of the issue
of whether or not the treaty should
be ratified.
For generations the Irish have been
criticized and the Withholding OF
freedom from ireland has been ex-
cused-<on the ground that they are
excessively contentious-like a row

therefore are not to be trusted In
