PARIS, April 9.—(By The Associated Press).— The report of the experts who have been engaged for Me past three months in the ask of ascertaining Ger- many’s capacity to pay reparations was handed to the reparation com- mission today. The two committees under the chairmanship of Brigadier General Charles G. Dawes and Reg- inald McKenna, respectively, have gone deeply into the intricacies of the many problems conhected with reparations, and, as mentioned In the covering letter, they approached the task “as business men anxious to ob- tain effective results.” The league of nations 1s drawn into the reparations problem by the’ Dawen sreport, while an. unofficial representative of the United States is slated for an important role in the execution of the experts plan. An American member of the general board of control for the proposed new gold bank of issue ts quite like- ly to fill the irnportant post of ‘‘com- missioner.” His duty will be to de- cide when Germany's capacity to pay has been reached, while the league finance committee will be ask- ed to arbitrate if the commissioners’ decisions in applying the “index of 7 Prosperity” are disputed by either s Germany or the allies. 6) f D A ihiseme aeiatiee, Sarett sot ut of Denver policies is how the experts describe the task they have just completed.
