The German ministers of economics
and finance are in the midst of criti-
cal discussions with England, France.
Belgium. Italy and other countries in
connection with the conclusion of
permanent trade pacts, and the fact
that these conferences are taking
place at the same time has made it
difficult for the German government
to mobilize the required number of

In Berlin financial circles it is be-
tfeved that Mr.. Gilbert's move in as
serting the exclusive jurisdiction of
the transfer committee in dealing
with funds collected under the recov-

up for final disposition through an

.GERMANSA NUM-
ON GILBERT RUL|NG|
Press Asked to Refrain From
Comment on Tax ReCoV-
cry Dispute.
BY the Associated Press.

BERLIN, November 20.--German
Official circles steadfaStly decline to
comment on the controversy precipi-
tated by Agent General Gilbert's
letter to Finance Minister Luther, in
which the reparations official in
formed the German government of
his decision to bring the question of
auditing and disbursing sums col
lected on the tax recovery acts
within the exclusive jurisdiction of
the transfer committee.
The German press also has been
requested by the government to
refrain from discussing the issue.
there being an apparent desire to
protect the agent general against
any Embarrassment resulting from
the German participation in discus
sions now current in London. Paris
and elsewhere regarding the effect
of the continued practice of impos-
ing the &c per cent levy.
Gilbert Finds Bncking.
Informal opinions obtained from
German circles appeared to support
the agent generals contention that
the previous methods OF collecting
and allocating amounts resulting
from the recovery acts are decidedly
inimical to the principle of the
Dawes plan transfer system. German
financial quarters further contend
that the heavy amounts assessed
under the recovery acts threaten to
become serious menace to the
stability of German currency.
While Mr.. Gilbert's procedure is
viewed primarily as being Il step in
the direction of safeguarding the
authority of the transfer committee
III its functions of collecting and
man exports interests continue out
spoken in their protest against the
recovery principle generally. They
hold that it constitutes an unwar-
ranted discrimination against Ger
man commerce and materially re-
stricts Germany's capacity to meet
obligations imposed by the London
protocol.
Formalities involved in expediting
German exports under the recovery
acts also are said to be the source of
numerous petty annoyances, as they
require recognition of consular for
1nalities which cost time and fees
These fees amount to as much as 25
marks on bills OF goods valued at only
tour or fVe times as much. The proc
esS of reimburSing German exporters
Tor discounts prescribed by the re-
covery acts also is said to work a
hardship on German commerce, which
still is laboring under shortage of
working capital
All this is viewed as limiting the
freedom of German trade and COM
merce in a degree which was not con-
templated blythe trainers of the
Dawes plan.
At its meeting November 2S. the
transfer committee Will reach def
mite conclusions respecting the future
treatment of amounts collected I'M
der the recovery acts. Its action
Will have an important bearing on
the further progress of negotiations
now going on between Germany and
various creditor states regarding
