EXPERTS IN BERLIN
WANT MORATORIUM
International Loan for Ger
many Also Said to Be
Dawes Committee Plan.

By Radio to The Star and New York Tribune
Copyright. 1924.
BERLIN, February "a moratorium
for Germany, combined with an inter
national loan, will be among the
reparation committee will make in
its final report to the reparation COM
mission, according to information
obtained tonight. At the same time
the committee will recommend sharp
reductions in the German budget for
1924.
The latter recommendation is based
on the committees close study of
the budget, which it finds contains
several cxtravagant items. Dissatis-
fled with the material bearing on the
budget presented to it by the Ger
man government. the committee has
addressed IA long questionable to the
cabinet, demanding an explanation of
several items of expenditure listed.
Cites Army Expenditure.
The committee has particularly
drawn the attention of the govern
ment to the item of $4,000, 900 gold
marks for proposed army expendi-
lures for the year. The committee
considers this figure too high for an
army of 100000 men. which is all
that is allowed the ,reich. According
to French members of the committee
this figure approXimates the budget
of the French war ministry, while
the Italians point out that it ex-
ceeds the allowance made by Italy
for defense.
The committee taxation experts
expressed astonishmeut at examina =
tion of GermanyS tax revenues.
pointing especially to the fact that
the German wage earners supply by
far the greatest portion of the coun-
tryS taxation income, while heavy
industry fails to bear it's proper share
of the burden in the government S
efforts to stabilize the budget.
See Excessive Insurance.
Another item of extravaganza OBJ
served by the committee concerns un-
employment insurance, which. in the
view of the experts. occupies too
prominent place in the expense
column.
Much nervousness has been pro-
voked here by the fall of the mark
in New York. which today was re-
fiected in IA corresponding fall here
SO far as unofficial trading was con-
cerned. The money bootleggers'
are again Offering prices for the
dollar that are considerably above
the official ones. while prices in gen
eral are beginning to show slight
upward tendency.
Spectators and money sharks are
again taking advantage of the situa-
ton and are trying desperately to
provoke a new mark panic-their aim
being particularly to break the
rentenmark.

Asked For Instructions.
That he asked Berlin what the en-
bassy should do after former Presi-
dent Wilson's death proves how well
he still knows the German at
mosphere, although he is on the
Potomac. Herr Wiedfeldt could not
help realizing that it was his duty
to make the embassys attitude con-
form to the decision of the govern
ment to which he was accredited and
not to become conspicuous by vari-
ance from the gestures of others of
the diplomatic corps. But he plainly
did not want to expose himself un-
necessarily to the coarseness of the
rowdy nationalists. or assume a re-
sponsibility which belonged else
where.
The same people who reproached
Count Won Bernstorff publicly with
not carrying on enough propaganda"
would have complained loudly about
lack of national dignity" if Wied-
feldt, on his own account, had joined
in the demonstration Of mourning.
Fear of the nationalist terror also
drove the Berlin government to the
highly foolish answer that the death
of a private citizen was no occasion
for official mourning. The few polite
words which the government uttered
after the Dixmude catastrophe
brought it sharp rebukes and fright

Wilson Painted Archfoe.
Woodrow Wilson, whose purity Of
soul not even his opponents deny,
was exhibited to many Germans for
years as an archenemy, a very devil,
who had enticed Germany into the
trap of his fourteen points and shame
fully betrayed her. Timorous souls,
eager for applause, do not dare defy

cally ripper nations
Lloyd George was not called a
traitor. even after his widest bluff
But in apostolic Germany, too many
still believe they must daily prove
and coarse conduct so that they can
not be accused of treason to Ger
many"
Fear Dominates Politics.
Our whole politics is dominated,
and the internationale is often ruin
ed by this fear. The flag incident
was a symptom of this evil, which
could be called an infantile disease
of-remembering France of 1871
the postwar psychos1s. It is certain
that only an unimportant number of
Germans wanted to hurt the feelings
of the Americans.
It is an agreeable duty to say this
at the grave of the great citizen who
wanted to lead the peoples of the
earth to harmony. He was not able
to complete his work, but by the fer
vent power Of his noble desires he
brought his land to a splendor never
before seen.
Instead of Quarreling about what
rank among statesmen, ancient and
modern, or what mourning salute, is
due him, we will and must-each in
his own sphere-employ ali our force
to attain the aim shown to humanity
by Woodrow Wilson.
