MORTGAGE AS
SECURITY FOR
PREPARATIONS
French Newspaper Advances
This as Germany's Plan
To Pay Indemnity
COM MISSION URGED
Secretary Hughes in New
Haven Speech Suggests
Alternative to Allies

Paris, Dec. 3O.-A mortgage
on the wealth Of the German peo~
pie up to twenty percert of it's to-
tai value is the guiding principle
of the reparations proposals which
Germany will make to the prem
iers' conference, according to the
version Of the German plan given
by Lucien Chassaigne, foreign ed
itor of the JORNAL.
The mortgage, the writer says,
would be established by means Of
income tax returns. Small busi-
r.ess would make direct payments
on the obligation but in the case
Of large concerns special shares Of
nonvoting stock having prefer
ence in the profits, would be
created. All these shares wouh
be centered in bank in Holland
or Switzerland managed by a mix
ed control board presided over by
a neutral.
Such mortgage, M. Chassaigne
says, is estimated by the Germans
as able to produce thirty billion
gold marks. In return, however,
Chancellor Cuno, the article de-
clares, will ask for abrogation of
those clauses CT the Versailles
treaty which limit German COM
mercial activity.
Although France accepts the
principle of mortgage on Ger
man wealth, the editor says that
Herr Cuno's figure is much too
small, inasmuch as the French
share in the total would drop to
sixteen billion gold marks or
about half of the amount she has
already spent in reconstructing the
devastated regions. f1
international bankers, the writ
er asserts are inclined to favor a
loan to Germany.
The PETIT PARISIEN learns
that the French reparations plan
row is ready and that it requires
only the approval of Premier Poin-
care :

DROP IN PRICES
OF %PREST0L|TE
Batteries Now Selling
for Less Than Pre-
War Price

The reduction just announced
By the Preat-o-LAte company
makes the present selling price OF
Pres-o-Lite batteries considerably
lower than prices which prevailed
before the war. :.
Tho reduction covers all types
and the savings in dollars and
cents is welcomed By all battery
users.
Undoubtedly the most important
feature OF this PreSt-o -Lite reduc-
ton is the extent to which 1t has
been carried says an official Of the
South Side Service station, the
local Prest-o-Lite distributor.
THE fact that the cut was not
made upon special types and dis
continued types Is significant OF Its
permanency. One light car model
which In 1917 had a standard list
price OF $27.S5 appears In the new
Prest-o-Lite 9:ale OF prices at the
"trade-iu" price Of 1890. The
new prices set in this pronounced
reduction are such as have not
been Been in years.
The Presto Lite company has
always pioneered the way to inn
provements and lower prices and
In 1922 as In other years will
lead with battery service OF the
sort that battery users will appre-
clate."
