EXPERTS FIGURES
ON GERMAN DEBT
AWAITED IN PARIS
BY PAUL SCOTT M0WRER
(Leased Wire Service to The Journal)
Copyright. 1924

PARIS, April 2.-Practically the
only features OF the experts report
which still remain strictly secret
are the exact figures. OF these, the
one which has given rise to the
most hesitancy seems to have been
that of the minimum annuity Ger
many must pay after three years
moratorium.
This seems to have been fixed at
2,450,000000 gold marks, though
certain French, American and even
English estimates were much high
er. This annuity would seemingly
be composed as follows: 650,000,000
net Profits of railways, 290,000,000
special railway tax, 300,000,000 in
terest on bonding of German indus
trial and agricultural property, l.
200, 100000 special taxes as customs
and salt, spirits, tobacco and match
monopolies.
The ingenious prosperity index"
will enable the fixing of increase
annuities if German prosperity in
creases over the minimum foreseen.
During the moratorium, Germany
probably will be expected to make
deliveries in kind and meet costs
to a total of S00,000,000. German
railways seemingly will be capitaliz-
ed at eleven billions and industrial
and agricultural property at six
billions.
1t is believed the experts investi-
cations show Germans have paid
off since the war in deprecated
marks a sum exceeding the whole
reparations debt of 10000, 000,000
gold marks on the following i'ems
alone: Interior national debt, NUM-
cipal debts, railway debts, industrial
properties debts and farm mort
cages, but the exact estimates are
not available.
The experts, generally speaking,
have kept to lower, rather than to
higher figures in cases Of differ
ences of opinion.

low prices for the foodstuffs sold at
high prices in the cities and towns.
Food control and fixed prices were
advocated.
The government plan for reducing
prices has just been announced, and
will be embodied in a bill to be SUBJ
mitted to the Dali. 1t provides for
competition with the profiteers by
lending money to organizations will
