Berlin, June Til. The text Of the Ger
man a~mendatory reparation is as follows:
After full and careful consideration Ger
many has stated her sincere belief as to
her capacity to make payment for repara-
tions. The German Government would
not be acting fairly and it WOuiG not bring
the real solution any nearer, If, Tor the
sake of temporary alienation OF It's poIItl-
cal difficulties, it were to promise more
than in its judgment the German people
can with the utmost effort perform.
Nevertheless the question Of Germ4ny'S
capacity is one of fact on which different
opinions car be held and the German
Government admits the difficulty OF ar
irving at any secure estimate in the pre-
sent conditions. For this reason it
has already offered to accept the decI-
sion of an impartial international body
as to the amount and metFOd OF pay
ment. Germany can give no stronger
proof than this of her determination to
discharge the reparation. The " ga
Government also is ready to supply all
available information necessary in form
ing a reliable judgment of Germany's
capacity to pay. 1t will, if it wishes,
throw open TO inspection all its %tinanci-
al records and furnish any details that
NAV be desired concerning the resources
of German industry and business. The
German Government has made reference
to t e hotatiOn of big loans in orBeE that
large capital sums might accrue at the
earliest possible moment to those powers
to which PREPARATIONS are due. Should loans
on a great sale prove imprac lcaOle for
a time it is ready to substitute a scheme
Of annuities Since the Allied Govern,
ments have attached importance to Ger
many's furnishing forthwith precise IN
dications as to the kind ana mode OF
guarantees which she is in a posi- ion
to offer, the German government pro-
poses the fol OWING as part OF d definite

had a lengthy conversation with Presi-
dent MiIlerand this afternoon and gave
him a report of bis meeting WITH the
Belgian statesmen at Brussels. The
question of how the German note is to be
answered. it is said in official circles,
depends upon the other Allies. France
would be glad TO join in a collective an
sWer. but the terms must agree with the
French views. The Germans were care
ful not to ignore the reparatIon com

ton, the German Government will pledge
as security the customs on imports of
c0nSumabie articles other IL IN necesSa-
ries, the excise on tobacco, beer, wine
and sugar with the receipts of the spirits
monopoly. On the average of the years
preceding the war. these customs and eX-
else receipts reached about eight hundred

has now fallen to one QuaI,er, on ac-
count of the loss of territory and pOpu-

eminent feels that it must lay emphasis
on the following, in a matter 50 vast and
complicated. Real progress cannot be
made by the exchange Of written docu-
ments. But can only be achieved by
word Of mouth at the conference table.
Germany s capacity to pay depends on
the character of the settlement as a
whole. A method of payment can on
w be arranged in direct consultation
with those who are to receive payment.
The guarantees can only be worked out
in detail with the collaboration of those
