DAWES EXPERTS
WORK OUT PLAN
TO AID GERMANY
Z. s. Financiers Work
Gut Definite System
ReparatiOns
Ry United Press Leased Wire

BERLIN. Feb. l4.-General Char
les 6. Dawes and his committee of
international experts were on their
way to Paris today, convinced they
have found plan whereby the allies
can collect reparations and Germany
can be rchabiiitated financially.
The plan, Dawes believes, will be
satisfactory to both France and Ger
many if viewed from a strictly bus
mess viewpoint. 1t will enable the
allies to get reparations, 1resuP-
posing that Germany is allowed eco
nomical control of the Ruhr and
Rhineland.
tnder the plan outlined bv
Dawes committee, the maximum
amount obtainable as reparatlonS
will depend upon the extent to
which the world absorbs German pro
ducts. Before HIS departure, General
Dawes visited Chancellor Mar% and
thanked him for Germany 5 coop
Grafton in providing material ne
ccssary to the committee s investiga-
tions. Marx replied that he was
Glad the experts had had the Oppor-
tunity for thorough study of the
German financial situation. Full
details of the plan were no. avail
able before the committee left Ber-
lin. hut some of the features We're
made known to the United Press.
Mary Recommendations
They included:
/. New gold backed currency, sup
planting land mortgages now backed
by the Rentcnmark, must be Intro
luced in Germany.
9. A total circulation Of five bill
lions of marks must be provided, al
though temporarily a smaller sum,
possibly three billion will suffice.
3. This currency must be backed
by 80 per cent gold or the eqQlTa-
lent.
i. The German budget must be
balanced, and according to the cX-
perts this should not prove difficult.
Germany probably can manage 1t
herself through readiusted taxation,
but if she doesn t she must be help-
ed by outside loans. 1t IS believed
~ large part of the stock OF the new
bank could be subscribed in Amcrl'
ca.
5. Germany must be freed of re-
strictions now hampering produc'
ton.
The experts told the United Press
it was silly to try to name con
crete maximum for reparatiOnS, but
instead it would be possible to as
certain what the minimum will be
under the new plans. The maximum
will be determined as Germany S
foreign trade develops. In other
words, if the world absorbs a lot
of '.madc in Germany goods
then there will be more reparation5.

SWING CHARGES
AGAINST POWER
COS. ARE STRONG
Dy United Press Leased Wire

WASHINGTON, Feb 14.-The
house irrigation committee today
was preparing TO ask for permission
to conduct % searching investiga-
tion into the sweeping charges made
before thai body late yesterday by
Representative Swing regarding
power interests at work to hamper
the passage of the Boulder Dam
bill.
Swing named Senator Phipps,
Colorado, member of the senate ir
rigation committee, Harry Chandler,
publisher Of the Los Angeles Times
and George l.. Hoxie, Los Angeles
attorney as leaders in the fight
which he said is characterized by
underground and secret methods.
Representative Baker, California,
demanded that Phipps, Chandler
and lloXie and representatives ot
Lri, ate power interests b. subpon-
nacd by the committee but action
was deferred until the committee
is given power by the house to
conduct u probe of Swing s
charges.
AN offensive and defensive al.
iiance exists between American
owners of land in Mexico and pri-
vate power companies to defeat the
Boulder canyon proiect,' Swing
declared. "They have agreed that
if any dam is built it must be Il
low dam that will not furnish pow
er. -
Hoxie, who was present al the
committee meeting when named by
Swing, rose 10 his feet and denied
that he was representing interests
opposed to the project.
Swing charged that Chandler is
"working day and night to keep
the residents of the Imperial Val
ley under the yoke of the Mexican
government.
"These charges are vital and I
don intend to sit idly by without
proof of them," declared Baker in
demanding an investigation of the
secret influences working against
the project.
