GERMANS PROPOSE
20 PER CENT TAX
TO RAISE FUNDS
'A1ortsage'', On Wealth of tho Peo-
4 pie Declared Cuno's Plan for Rep
arattons; Bonar Law Hopes for
Agreement.

Paris, Dec. 30.-A mortgage on the
wealth Of the German people up to
20 per cent of its total value is the
guiding principle of the separations
proposals which Germany will make
to the premiers conference, according
to the version of the German plan
given by Lucien Chassaigne, foreign
editor of the Jornal. ~. ~
Mortgage, the writer says, would be
established by means Of income tax re-
turns. Small business would make d.
rect 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: An these shares would be
centered in bank in Holland tor
Switzerland managed by a mixed con-
troll board presided over by a neutral.
Such mortgage, NJ. Chassaigne
says, Is estimated by the Germans as
able to produce thirty billion gold
marks. In return, however, Chancel-
,lor Cuno, the article declares. will ask
for abrogation of those clauses Of the
Versailles treaty which limit German
commercial activity.
Figure Too Small.
Although France accepts the prin-
ciple OF mortgage on German wealth,
the editor says that Herr Cuno's fig
ure is much too small inasmuch az
the French share In the total would
drop to sixteen billion gold marks or
about half of the amount she has al
ready spent in demonstrating the de-
vastated regions.
International bankers. the writer as
serts. are inclined to favor a loan to
Germany.
The Petit Parisien learns that the
French reparations plan now is ready
and that 1t requires only the approval
OF Premier Poincare.

Russia, while she hoped for peace In

4-POWER PACT RUMORED.

Reports that Wilhelm Cuno. the
German chancellor. Intends to startle
tho premiers' conference with definite
proposals for four-power pact which
would guarantee the security Of
France and the present Franco-Ger-
man frontiers reached reparations
circles Friday and created consider
able comment. This pact. according
to the reports, would extend over a
period OF thirty years. 1t would be
signed by Great Britain. Italy. France
would be asked to sign without assum-
Ing any military obligations.
French officials are said to have
already received an outline Of the
scheme from unofficial sources and are
for 1t since 1t Is supposed to contain a
clause giving any country the right to
withdraw within the thirty-year Pc
Rod, provided referendum decided
| to this effect. Another feature of the
reported pact would be withdrawal
within short time of the troops of
occupation. This, It is asserted, would
find no support in France. 49,
Germany is keeping her new pro-
posals much in the, dark. SO far, as
the reparations commission is con-
cerned. The commission has learned.
however, that among Chancellor
Cuno.s proposals will be one to pay a
billion and eight billion gold marks,
ono billion to be paid at once and the
remainder over q period of ten years.
This would be accompanied by cer-
tain form Of allied financial control
Sumcient to insure the balancing Of
Germany's budget and the stabilixa-
ton Of the mark. & 4 Il,
