Proposes Mortgage.

Paris, Dec. 30.--A mortgage on the
 20 per cent of its total value is the guiding principle of the reparations proposal which Germany will make to the premiers' conference according to the version of the German plan given by .1cien Chassaigne, foreign editor of the Journal.
 The mortgage, the writer says, would be established by means of ir- come tax returns. Small businesses would make direct payments on the obligation, but in the case of large concerns special shares of non-voting stock having preference in the profits would be created. All these shares would be centered in bank in Hol- land or Switzerland managed by a mixed control board presided over by a neutral.
 Wants Commercial Freedom.
 Such mortgage, M. Chassaigne says, is estimated by the Germans to produce 3O,ooo, 100000 gold marks. In return, however, Chancellor Cuno. the article declares will ask for abro- gation of those clauses of the Ver- sailles treaty which limit German commercial activity.
 Although France accepts the prin- ciple of a mortgage on German wealth the editor says that Herr Cunos figure is much too small, in- asmuch as the French share in the total would drop to 16,000, ,000,o00 gold marks or about half off the she has already spent in re- the devastated regions.
 The International bankers tha writer asserts, are inclined to favor q loan to Germany.
 The Petit Parisien learns that the French separations plan is now ready and that it requires only the approval of Premier Poincare who will examine it Sunday.
