Commission Wbuld Have Control of German Finance. Jeates 24 — Although plan for a two-year moratorium for Germany is due to come up formally before the repara-. tions commission on Friday. there were certain - indications *last - night that Premler Poincare might not press for a declsion by the commission for seversl weeks, in' view of the situa- tion the Ruhr and the reported Intention of the German government flatly to reject the new proposals. The plan was only circulated among the members of the commission Mon- day; but already severe criticlsm of it has developed in British quarters, where it is asserted the project would fzil to re-establish German credit. One paragraph definitely sets forth that Germany must accept the plan by February 15 and before that date must deliver to the commiseion & dec- laration of its adhesion to the proj- ect and an agreement lovally to carry it out. Germany also must produce guarantees from the Ger- man industrialists that the proposed internal loan will be raised and that the necessary legislation will be enacted not later than March 1. Separate guarantees of fulfiliment must be obtained from each German state. Might Be Reduced. The proposed three billlon gold mark loan would be used to meet reduced cash and merchandise pay- ments during the life of the two-year moratorium. The moratorium would be reduced to eighteen months if German finances improved sufficiently for the resumption of the full schedule of payments. Of the loan 2.500,000,000 would go entirely for reparation ment. The other 500,000,000 marks would be used to stabilize the mark. It s presumed the loan also would be used to pay the costs of army occupation and al- 80 the costs of the Ruhr occupation. One billion marks would be raised in foreign currency and one billion and a halt in deliveries of merchandise. Big Levy om Capital. The three billion marks in cash would have to be produced largely by the heads of industry, who have sent huge sums out of Germany. The rep- arations commission would go over the German government with a fine- tooth comb and reduce its expenses to the minimum. A 25 per cent levy on German capital would be taken in return for the so-called perpetual loan, the bonds of which would be pald to nationals from whom capi- tal was taken. Interest on the bonds would be paid from the German bud- get. after all reparations charges, In- cluding costs of all commissions on control and the reparations commis- sion, had been met. British reparations officials assert that the plan would not give Ger- many an opportunity to re-establish her credit and restore the confidence of outside investors. The new plan would place the rep- aration commission in complete con- trol of German finance. FRENCH REFUSE TO RECEIVE RUHR SHOOTING PROTEST By the Assoclated Press.

By the Associated Press. LONDON, January 24.—Benito Mus- solini, the Itallan premier, today ex- plainea his attitude on the Ruhr crisis to his cabinet, says a dispatch to the Central News from Rome. The premier erted Italy had madé no offer to intervene in the situation, but that it had warned the Berlin government of the dangers of reaction and advised France to ex- ercise moderation, The Ruhr problem had not yet reached a deadlock, which would justify an attempt to step. in and try to agrive at a solution. Instructions to Engineers. Mussolini added that he had in- structed the Itallan engineers sent to the Ruhr to abstain from acts of a political character. The cabinet fully supported premier’s attitude. According to a dispatch from the Stefani Agency, Mussolini, after stat- ing that the question might still be asked .whether a deeper appreciation of the Italian memorandum sub- mitted ta the London conference would avoid the grave complications that have developed, asserted that the Italian government would take most active steps to avert still greater complications and produce at the ecarliest possible time a calmer at- mosphere, permitting a renewed dis- cussion of the problems of reparations und debts.
