Relief in Reparations for

By the Associated Press.
BERLIN, January 2S.-The German
note to the reparations commission
in response to the commissions de-
mand for explanations Of Germany's
alleged inability to meet her obliga-
tions for January and February, re-
quests that Germany be reliDred OF
all cash payments in 1922. 1t also
asks for a general reduction in cash
payments and an increase in pay
ments in kind.

internal and external credit and
thereby facilitate the floating of a
big international reparation loan. II
announces that Germany will raise
an internal loan in 1922 independently
Of the forced loan, in order to reduce
the floating debt.
1t is. pointed out in the note that
the allied experts at the Brussels
conference in 1920 recognized that
German direct taxation was incapable
of further augmentation. but that
nevertheless bills were now before
the reichstag to provide further in
creases in property tax. as well as
taxes on capital and corporate
The turnover tax will be increased
from ~ per cent to 2 per cent, and
the coal tax from 20 to 40 per cent
The burdens on production and con
sumption will be increased. and. in
addition, the increased customs dues
will be collected on a gold basis. The
entire burden imposed on consump-
tion, it is asserted. is at least equal
to that in other countries.
In explanation of Germany's finan-
cial position, the note states-that en-
ergetic measures will be taken
against the removal of capital abroad
the abolition of the obligation to
secrecy imposed on banks, and con-
troll over the ownership Of securities
deposited with banks. 1t explains
that the railway rates. compared with
pre-war conditions, had been increas-
ed nineteen-fold for passengers anG
thirty-two-fold for freight; the postal
and telephone rates were increased
'twepty-one-fold.
The food subsidies for 1922 will
amount to 1.00O.000,000 paper marks
as compared with $3.50 100000 pre-.
viously. The price of bread will
shortly be increased by IS per cent

ers and employees will be introduced
to replace the existing relief system

government will raise an interna
loan this year, apart from the com
pulsory loan already agreed upon
The compulsory loan will be non-re
curing and is intended to finance

increasing paper circulation.
1t is absolutely necessary. II thu
matter is viewed from an economi,

TEN TO connect its many industries. The
dairy is nearly mile from the offices,
and frequently questions of business
arise where phone would save gaso-
line and time. both Of which Llano is
short Of.
The many industries could be much

with phones.
Several readers of the LIano Colon
ist have heard the call and have con
tributed 10 the Phone Phund, knowing
il will be only matter of time until
the vision will be materialized.
The cost will not be heavy, as most
of the expense is labor, and we have
a competent telephone man here now,

nate a few dollars for this purpose,

THE world again. More people are
now homeless in our fair land than
ever was known in our history. Thou
sands Of these people are appealing to
us to allow them to come to the Colony
and live among us. They ask for food
and shelter only. We want to give
them home with us; but will not do
so unless it be on equal terms and as
Isurance of safety we now enjoy. 1t
they come here, they will be given all
privileges of the other colonists; they
will be our brothers in this movement.
But we do not feel safe in having them
come until the ownership Of this land
is changed to us. You know. with a
idebt hanging over you, or an oPpor-
Itunity of not meeting your contracts,
how easy it is to be dispossessed. When
| the land is ours we shall give refuge
and equal rights to all whom we feel
we can safely use in putting the land
and industries into productive USE We
are now accepting children who are
being sent here for an education; we
take them at 1000 a month, the only
expense in addition to this being for
their clothing. These youngsters must
be given the proper education; for in
them is our future safety for a coop
erative commonwealth. Now, let us
, get closer together and reason with one
another. You know, our present econ
omic and social system is wrong. 1t
is about to fall in decay. 1t is de-
stroying itself. If you believe this,
why do you not give yourself and your
ALL to help establish system that you
believe and we know will answer our
needs? This system has been talked
about and explained by the great lead
ers of the world at all times, and it is
now just being understood. Others
preach about it; some dream about it;
but WE-your comrades-are actually
establishing it. What is $4,000 COM
pared to the good we are doing in this
great world movement? $4,000 is Of
ten spent on the false education of one
child, while with it we can and will ed
cate thousands of chiIdren-and grown
ups, too. Have you the money lying
idle or is it loaned out for profit?
Are you willing to turn from the profit
system to new system of brotherhood
and service? If SO, now is your chance
TO do great good-not to us at New
llano, but for thousands and probably
of millions who will benefit by your
action. Comrades, l don't like to APP
peal to you about this matter; but
cannot refrain from it, when | know
the great good you can do for others
by assisting now, and the good you will
derive from your act, by getting your
self into community where a real
brotherhood exists for those who de-
/ sire to live the life of the Golden Rule.

Bell made a trip with Colony products
to-day, and is always able to dispose of
them to our neighbors. Say, this ex-
change Of products with our neighbors
is winner. In the last two weeks we
have transacted more business with
our neighbors than we ever did in two
months before. You see, we eliminate
the necessity Of cash by exchanging
Jour labor or produce for what they
can produce. 1t is big step forward
and the neighbors are ready to coop
crate with us. Just think what could
be done if we workers all decide to
exchange labor and products. Now,
we desire to extend this offer to our
cooperative friends all over the world.

change a 40-acre home for place in

which are useful to us. A number Of

grateful for their help. There is no
way in the world by which you can
help the other fellow better than by
getting him to read of a practical way
out of industrial and social despair.
We can put new hope in his heart
and new joy for living. There are SO
many ways in which You can help the
cause that am sure it is unnecessary
for me to mention them. Just re-
member we are giving our entire time
to the movement. Do you not think
you owe something to us in our efforts
in behalf of the millions who do not
know how to help themselves? Think
it over, and do what your conscience
tells you is right. The children's mem
