Initials, but must have your own

you may compromise by having a

of your own insignia. But sone-

DAWES REPORT
WILL Be GIVEN
TO WORLD SOON
by United Press Leased Wire

PARIS, April THE Dawes
Experts Committee decided today
to hand their reports to the Repara-
tions Commission at 10 Il. m. We'd
nesday to be released for publica-
ton Immediately.
Finishing touches were put on the
reports this afternoon and there re-
mains only little proof reading
and what corrections are necessary.
The experts do not propose to fix
definitely the total. amount Ger
many is to pay. The two main fea-
lures of the Dawes committee re-
port are:
l.-Stabilization of German cur
rency.
2.-Balancing Germany's budget.
For the first of these, the experts
have proposed creation of a gold
bank of emission, with capital of
400,000,OOO gold marks governed by
q board of IA directors, seven Ger
mans and seven foreigners. Coun-
tries having representation on this
board will be the United States,
France, England, Italy, Belgium,
Switzerland and Holland.
The bank wilf Oe a private in
stitution, like the Bank of Eng
land, free from government control.
To balance Germany budget the
experts propose, among other
things, q series of international
loans secured by the German rail
ways, which are valued at 25,000,-
O0,0O0,000,000 gold marks are pro
vided. The railways owe only one
hundred million gold marks.
Two billion gold marks have been
suggested as the figure for the to-
tai of these loans.
