FRENCH CONTROL OF.
CERMANY'S FINANCE
VIEWED WITH SCORN
British And Italian Experts
FOresee That 1t Would Cause
:. Political Trouble

LONDON, Aug. S.-The proposal made
by Premier Poincare of France for con-
troll of Germany's finances, in return for
a moratorium for Germany, seems not to
have found favor with the British and
italian financial experts, mainly because
they foresee that the plan would involve
the allies in embarrassing political en-
.tanglements which would not be Justified
by what rnight be gained financially.
Among the new points examined today
were the possibility of establishing GUS
tom barrier on the eastern boundaries
of German occupied territory-whether 1t
would be practicable to tax everything
entering or leaving the Rhur region; the
question of seizure of state-owned mines,
forests and domains on the left bank
of the Rhine, and also whether the rs
per cent of customs duties provided for
in the agreement OF May, 1921, which now
goes to the allied treasures, could, In
stead be paid to the reparations commits
sion, thus forming part of the repara-
tions fund
