Great Britain and Italy Object
to Financial Control

Establishment of Customs Bar

Suggested.

LONDON, Aug. Shy A. P.)-
The proposal made by Premier Poin-
care OF France, for control of Ger
many's finances in return for
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 embar-
RAISING political acknowledgements
which would not be justified by
what might he gained financially.
This developed today during the
discussion in the Poincare plan by
the financial experts at the allied
conference here, when there were
several animated tits.
There was no meeting today of
the conference proper, the time hav-
ing been entirely devoted to cOnsid-
Grafton of the French proposal by
the committee Of experts. They did
not have time to conclude their de-
liberations and will reassemble to-
morrow when they hope TO be able
10 draft their report for submission
to the conference in the afternoon.
Preparing Draft.
The Belgian representative tonight
was preparing the draft of a report
for submission 10 the committee OF
experts, which will meet at 9:45
o'clock tomorrow morning The
committees task is merely 20 study
the proposals with regard TO their
applica bility and their probable
yield. without passing judgment on
them.
Among the new points examined
today were the possibility Of estab-
fishing customs barriers in the east
ern boundary OF German occupied
erritory-whether il would be
practical TO tax everything entering
or leaving the Ruhr region; the
question Of seizure Of state owned
miEes. forests and domains on the
lett bank OF the Rhine. and also
whether the 90 percent of customs
duties provided for III the agreement
of May. 1921. which now goes to the
allied treasures could. instead, be
paid TO the PREPARATIONS commission
thus forming part of the PREPARATIONS
fund.
Replies to Objections.
NJ De Lasteyrie, France. in reply
Ing TO these objections, emphasized
that the proposed measures were of
q technical, economic character, and
not military.
1t seems apparent there will be no
unanimity with regard TO NJ. Poin-
cares proposals. A majority of the
committee of experts was against
the proposed customs barrier or the
imposition of taxation in the occupi-
ed area. while the proposal to
seize the mines and forests was re-
jected In this connection. however,
il was decided 10 study the posi-
