Press)-The proposal made by Premier
Poincare Of France, for control OF Ger
manys finances in return for n mora
torium for Germany, seems not TO nave
found favor with the British and Italian
financial experts. mainly because they
foresee that the plan would involve the

ments which would not be justified by
what might be gained financially.
This developed today during the dis
cussion Of the Poincare plan by tho
financial experts whore there were sew
eral animated Tits. There was no meet
ing today Of tn conference proper. the
time having been devoted to considera-
ton of the French proposal by the com
mittee Of experts.
The Belgian representative tonight
was preparing tho draft OF report for
submission TO the committee OF experts
tomorrow morning.
Among the points examined today
were the possibility Of establishing Gus
toms bureaus on the eastern boundary
of German occupied territory. whether
II would be practicable to tax every
thing entering and leaving the Ruhr
regions; the question Of seizure OF state
owned mines, forests and domains on
tho left bank Of tho Rhine. and also
whether the 26 percent OF customs
duties provided for in the agreement OF
May 1921. which now goes to the allied
treasures, could instead be paid to the
reparations commission, thus forming
