PARIS. July 22-The plan for the
allied control of Germany's finances

which by the German government was
announced today. provides for the ac-
crediting of the committees repre-
sentatives to practically all the de-

of finance. over which they will exer-
else personal supervision.
The bureaus dealing with receipts
and expenditures, the movement of
capital abroad and questions relating
to the publication of financial and
economic statistics will be especially
controlled.
Germany agrees to furnish the
committee with monthly statements
showing the progress in the collec-
tion of taxes. including the income
tax. The proceedings assessed on
private business, daily statements of
the amount of the floating debt and
statements every ten days setting
governments finances are documents
which the German government has
promised faithfully to make. Monthly
reports of the receipts from customs.

also must submit to the committee
quarterly statements of the receipts
and expenditures under the current
budget. Finally, yearly. the recapit-
ulation of the receipts and expend-
itures of the national budget after
the annual settlement and balancing

The majority. Of the opinion in
French financial circles expresses
satisfaction with the plan adopted.
A few extremists desire a more
stringent control, but generally it is
thought that that would be more
difficult to exercise without prejudic-
ing the sovereignty of the state.
The reparations commission made
public this afternoon the correspond
ence exchanged between the COM
mittee on guarantees and the Ger
man government from the time the
memorandum of the committee was
handed to Chancellor Wirth, July IS,

letter this noon.
The memorandum dealt with the
proposed allied financial control Of
