FRANCE PROPOSES
DRASTIC FINANCE
TO GERMANY
British Press Sarcastic
as to Its Possible
Execution
(By Associated Press)

London, Aug. 8-Drastic measures
of financial control in Germany are
provided for in Premier Poincare's
draft of the condition under which
France is willing that the Reich shall
have a moratorium to the end of the
present year. The conditions, which
are to me considered by the financial
committee of the alleid conference to-
day, are expected to include exploit
alton of the German customs, mines
railroads and forests, control of the
Reichsbank and the German bank note
press, and supervision of foreign cur
rences as we'll as exports and imports
All would be under the active control
of international committees sitting in
Berlin.
German industries would have to
surrender to the allies, 26 per cent
and in some cases much more, of their
capital, while, as a MOTOR measure tc
enforce compliance, the occupation and
appropriation of the Rhur coal field
would be kept nj reserve.
An Indication of the attitude the
British may take toward these propo
sails is given by the Daily Telegraph;
diplomatic correspondent, who says
British diplomat remarked that il
would require the "enthronement Of
Jove in Berlin to insure their eXecu
ton"
The financial committee is headed
by Sir Robert Horne, British chan
cellor of the exchange.

SUGAR BOUNTIES
CONTESTED POINT
IN TARIFF TODAY
Broussard A m endment
Would Fix Duty at
Two Gents Pound
CBy Associated Press }

Washington, August S-lhe sehd'e
was to dispose today of all pending
amendments to three important sec
tions of the tariff bill-the sugar
schedule, the proposed five years
bounty on potash in lieu of a duty
and the rate on white arsenic.
Senators from sugar producing
states believe they would be able to
muster the necessary majority TOR
the Broussard amedment proposing
duty of two cents a pound on Cuban
raw sugar. an increase of one cent
over the rate in the Underwood la"
and 4 of one cent above the rate IN
the emergency tariff and the bill as
reported to the senate.
The committee amendment, offered
Yesterday, for bounty on potash
was opposed generally by the Demo
Gratis as a departure from the tradI-
tional policy of congress. On the
other hand. committee members pom
ted to the bounty on sugar pald II
the COS as precedent for their rec
ommendation. The bounty recon-
mended for domestic producers Is the
same as the tariff duties originally
suggested, 2 1-2 cents a pound for the
two years ending October l, 1874
two cents for the year ending October
/. 1925; / 1-2 cents for the succeed
ing year and one cent for the tlna
year.
The white arsenic duty % tVc
cents a pound already has been ap'
proved by the senate but has beer

Half of Population Is

Tidal Wave
is A RECORD TRAGEDY
Bodies Recovered Now
Total Triple Original
Estimates
CRy Associates preSsI

Hong Kong, Aug. s-Typhoon
stricken Swatow, mangled and mis-
cradle caricature of the port of a
week ago, doggedly goes about the
first CHASTITY task that falls to the
survivors of the storm burial of the
dead.
Bodies of twenty eight thousand
have been recovered, a death toll that
triples former estimates and cuts in
half the former population of he city
lationThe5e figures were given a
cirrular issued by the Swatow Cham
Der of Commerce from rs brancch in
Hong Kong.
Rude coffins have been hammered
togeather with lumber sa!vaged from
the wreck of the city. But these
cannot be made fast enough t. dis
pose of bodies which are a caritary
menace. Gunny sticks and mattress
bags have beenmade into crude sh-
rouds. Graves are hurrieiIy lug in
the alluviaI flats on which .ha port
| was built, that bodies may be inferred
as they are recovered from the wreck
age.
Shortage of food may prove ar ther
menace. British in Hong Kong al
ready have $4,000 for relief to the
British consul at Swatow. Ri.e is
being shipped from the British colony.
The Swatow municipality charitable
association has organized relief
fund to which subscriptions ars being
sought. Benevolent societies in
Hong Kong are uniting in relief mea-
sures for the suffererds.
/ Bandits, making grim capital of the
city's diaster are reported to have
raided homes and robbed pedestrians
in the native section. Ghouls sought
to loot the dead, but were promptly
stopped by the police.
| Swatow is heap of ruins. The
tidal wave which swept the roads a,
long the harbor while the storm was
at its height completed the devasta
tion which the storm started. Wael
front buildings, crumpled before the
assault of the water, lie in tangled
! nondescrlpt piles. Three steamer;
= caught in the storm were piled on thu
beach. Smaller crafts, demohsSeC
Il when they sought shelter in SwatOv
harbor, add to the tangle on the wa
y ter front that swirls with the tide.
Bodies of many victims have ou
Il to sea. They have been sighted BY
~ steamers as far as IS miles from th'
o. devastated port. Many viii never b
IN recovered.
