EXPERTS FOR
GIVING RUHR
TO GERMANY
Dawes Committee and British
at Odds on Burden Of Tax
v alton on Germans
CITE u. S. EXPERIENCE

Paris, April /. (By the A. P.)-The
| reparations experts of the Dawes
committee met this afternoon with
prospects better than any time this
week for speedy winding up of their
| work.
Although GeNcral Dawes and Owen
D. Young, his American associate,
have booked their passage tentatively
| counsellors are planning an earlier
| departure, probably the end of next
week.
The amount of the reparation bur-
,, den to be laid on the German railt
| roads was expected to be settled this
afternoon, with the smoothing out of
the differences which have existed
between the American and English
delegates on this point. The English
have complained that the percentage
of the loan based on the railroads
| was excessive, while the Americans
have argued that it was far less than
| the burden the railroads in the
United States were called on to bear
| after the Civil War. They have thus
| the Britich idea that the taxation
standard demanded of the Germans
was too high.
Germany paid 10 billion marks in
taxes before the war, one of the
| American tax experts lis said to have
told his colleagues. IF we fix it
any lower, our people, checking up
the figures, will upbraid US for let
! ting them off too easily.
Americans Reply
The American experts have replied
to British fears that expectation of
, funds or the payment of reparations
! would weaken her undulA if pushed
by citing the postwar Civil War in
! which the country reached prosper
| Gus heights although obliged annual
| ly to repay sums to foreign investors
in mines, railroads, etc. The Amer
leans likewise opposed the pessimism
of some foreign colleagues by draw
ing another analogy from American
history, recalling the hue and cry
raised over the first American bill
lion dollar Congress whereas the
| Congress is now voting some three
billions annually.
Although the foreign experts had
a ready .retort to these arguments,
pointing out that America natural
resources far surpassed Germany s
the Americans have held firm, agree
ing however that Germany should be
allowed to exploit all the resources
of her territory in order to clean
| up her payments. This is felf to inn
ply the acquiescence of American re-
representatives. in the contention that
the economic exploitations of the
Ruhr be returned to Germany, the
French to retain military control, a
project to which the Echo de Paris
takes violent exception.

ner and Lieut.. Wagner were given
Is months and fined 100 gold marks
1each.
The main streets of Munich and all
the approaches to the court house
presented a picture of an armed
camp. Field-helmeted troops and
heavy reinforcements of Bavarian
5 street police patrolled the streets,
\dispersing pedestrians.
= An ordinance proclaimed last
{night by the Prefect threatened par
Yicipants in riots or mob gatherings
with penitcntiary sentences or even
capital punishment. These precau-
tions were taken with view to sup
pressing hostile demonstrations of
followers of the men on trial.
Hitler's followers arranged to sig
nal news of the verdict from the
house-tops by wig-wagging as the
police authorities prohibited public
posting Of the verdict and severely
"estricted admission to the court

mony was taken behind closed doors.
\ strong feeling in favor of Luden-

tried has been called the beer sell

ner was to be premier of Bavaria.
The "dictatorial government how
