The basis of this plan is that the
Germans must bear taxes proportion.

the Germans, it is feared. might be
tempted to keep the budget as small
as possible so that France and the
other allies should continue to receive
no reparations.
DR.. Hjalmqr Schacht, president of
the German ReichsbanS. has informed
the experts that foreign financial su-
pervision would be incompatible with
German sovereignty. The experts
pointed out that Austria has accepted
even more drastic control than that
proposed for Germany. and that Hun
gary also is about TO accept similar
ontrol.
DIR. Schacht now is consulting with
the German government on the issue

that Germany will sincerely carry out

HAS NO NAVAL RESERVES
Standard Oil Company Says Cali
fornla Land Not Leased From u. S

San Francisco. March 5.-The
Standard Oil Company of California
has not and never has had any in
terest in section 16 in naval oil re-
serve No. 1 and section 80, which the
company purchased in 1909, is not and
never has been in the naval reserve,
the corporation declared in a state
ment issued in connection with dis
pitches concerning the action planned
by the government to test the validity
of the title Of the company to certain
oil land in California.
The statement follows:
1T has been repeatedly reported
that sections 16 and SO in naval re-
serve No. are owned by this COM
pany. The company wishes to make
it clear that it has no interest what
ever, nor has it ever had. in the Sec
ton 16 referred to. The company
owns $50 acres in section sc, which il
purchased in 1909 following examina-
ton Of title and opinion from its at
torneys that title was good. Nothing
has since transpired TO alter this opin-
ion. The company did not acquire title
from the government but from an in
dividual who purchased the land from
the state of California. the state hav-
ing acquired il from the government
of the United States under a law Of
1853.
Section sc is not and never has
been in the naval reserve. as has been
stated. 1t is surrounded by the reserve.
As a matter of feet the purchase Of
property in section SO was made be-
fore the naval reserve was created.
The company's production on section
&c. amounting to less than 600 bar
rels day, is relatively insignificant
when compared to its total potential
production of about 100000 barrels q
day."
