EXPERTS REPORT ON REPARATION PAYMENT PLANS FOR GERMANY; DAWES SEES PEACE, IF. ACCEPTED Military Control Left in Hands of Allies. LEAGUEIS GIVEN ARBITRALPOWER American Is Slated o Get Important Bank Position. 'y the Associated Press, ‘ PARIS, April 9.—The report of the | kxperts who have been engaged for the past three months in the task ©f ascertaining Germany’s capacity to pay reparations was handed to the reparation commision today. The two committees under the chair-| manship of Brig. Gen. Charles G.! Dawes and Reginald McKenna,| respectively, have gone deeply into | the intricacies of the many problems connected with reparation and, as mentioned in the covering letter, they approached the task “as busi- ness men anxious to obtain effective results.” The league of nations is drawn into the reparations problem by the Dawes report, while an unofficial represent- | etive 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 con- trol for the: proposed new gold bank of issue is quite likely to fill the im- yortant post of “commfsioner.” Tis duty will be to decide when Ger- nany's capacity to pay has been ached, while the league finance tommittee will be asked to arbitrate 4f the commissioner’s decisions in ap- plying the “index of prosperity” are disputed by either Germany or the allies.

EVEN REJECTION NOT FATAL { Public Opinion Enlightened, Of- ficials Here Point Out. Officials here will study in detail the reports of the special committees set up by the reparations commission before attempting to comment. There is no attempt, however, to conceal the hope of the American government that the reports will be found acceptable to the allied powers and that in them the key to the settle- ment of the reparations tangle will be discovered. It is realized that the crux of the BEuropean situation lies in the settle- ment of reparations and no adjust- ment of other problems, however im- | Portant they may be from an eco- nomic standpoint, can be effected until a definite and accepted basis has been found for the discharge of repara- tions claims.

Dawes follows: World View Considered. “To the President of the reparation commission, “Sir: Your committee has unanimously adopted a report upon the means for balancing the German budget and the measures to be taken to stabilize its | currency which I now have the honor | to submit. “Deeply impressed by a sense of s responsibility to your commission nd to the universal conscience, the committee bases its plan upon those principles of justice, fairness and Imulu;\l interest in the supremacy of | which not only the creditors of Ger- many and Germany itself but the world also have a vital and enduring concern.

The first prerequisite to the pay- . Mment of reparations, the experts as- gert, is sound money in Germany. They propose to this end the estab- lishment of a new gold bank of issue with 400,000,000 gold marks capital, in the organization of which they make it to the interest and profit of Ger- many, as well as to the advantage of the allies, to co-operate. Germany's production, they say, will enable her to meet her own require- nents and raise amounts to apply to yeparations as contemplated in the plan. The payments, fixed on a slid- ing scale, run rrom 110,000,000 gold narks in 1926 tc 2.500,000,000 in 1934 In order to prevent these payments from affecting adversely Germany's financial stbaility, an index of pros- Perity has been fixed, making it pos- gible to judze whether the amounts of the scheduled payments are or are not Peyond her capacity. American on Board. A general board of control, includ- ing an American, with allied, neutral @nd German members, is the experts’ golution of the difficult problem of guarantees that Germany will execute the terms of eventual settlement un- der their plan. The experts found 1his plan most likely to satisfy the ®llies and at the same time prove scceptable to the Germans. One mem- ber of this board, with the title of commissioner, will be vested with the important duties of deciding ac- cording to an index of prosperity when the payments provided for in the plan may prove too onerous and may threaten the upsetting of Ger- man finances. The index is to be based upon Ger- aman exporis and imports, the total Dudget receipts and _expenditures, railroad traffic, the: monetary valu of the consumption of sugar, tobacco, beer and alcohol by the total pop- ulation and the consumption of coal. Torcentages will be fixed on the aver- age statistics covering these bases, first for three years, then for s Jears, the percentage of each of the | Fix groups compared with the base| being separately computed and the uverage of the six percentage results forming the index. — Swpplemental Payments. When the resources exceed the in- ©ex, supplementary payments on repa- rations are to be made in proportionate amounts; when the index proves de- ficient, basic payments shall be made for the period on which the calcula- tions are based. But subsequent sup- Plementary payments shall not be- come due until allowance has been made for previous deficlencies. At this point the league of nations is brought into the plan: any dis- yuted point upon the application of ihe statitics on this index is to be plan for making the payments, are | held by him virtually unchanged by | | developments which have since taken | place. Rejection Not Fatal. Even rejection of the report by the reparations commission, it is felt, would not take away its value, since it will have served to enlighten pub- lic opinion and have given the®worid the advantage of an impartial opinion. That view was expressed by Secretary Hughes at New Haven in these words: A “If governments saw ,fit to reject the recommendation upon which such a body agreed, they would be free to do so, but théy would have the ad- vantage of impartial advice and of an! enlightened public opinion. Peoples Would be informed, the question would be rescued from assertion and counter-assertion, and the problem put upon its way to solution. STONE TAKES OATH AS JUSTICE CHIEF Declares He Will “Shield Innocence and Swiftly Avenge Guilt.” Harlan Fiske Stone was sworn in today as Attorney General of the United States, succeeding Harry M. Daugherty, and immediately plunged into his task with the avowed pur- pose of making “the Constjtution and laws of the United States the shicld of innocence, but the swift avenger of gullt.” The ceremony of taking office was performed in the private office of the Attorney General shortly” before 10 o'clock, the oath being. administered by Charles B. Sornborger, appoint- ment clerk of the department. In a formal statement the new Attorney General said: “I accept the appointment as At- torney General as a public duty, and because it presents an opportunity to further the cause of clean and effi- cient government under the leadership and with the firm support of the President. In_that leadership and in that support I have unbounded confi- dence. It is the duty.of the Attorney General to enforce the laws of the United States. It will be my purpose to perform that duty without fear or favor, and in a manner worthy of the great’ office to which I have been called. I shall take up this work at once. It will be my purpose \o keep the laws from being violated, but to punish violations when they occur. The nation must be kept in the straight path of justice under the law. I shall undertake to maintain the ' Department of Justice upon a standard of the highest efficiency, which will make the Constitution and laws of the United States the shield of innocence, but the swift avenger of_guilt.” . Mr. Stone arrived in Washington today from New York, and rising the report of your committee of ex- perts, unanimously adopted, upon means of balancing the budget of Germany and measures to be taken to stabilize her currency. “In_view of the comments in my covering letter, which I am handing ou, I will not add anything except again to express our appreciation of your confidence and the kindness and 1 consideration with which you have treated us.” Mr. Robinson’s remarks in turning over his document were even briefer. M. Barthou, whose short and stocky form contrasted markedly with the ranginess of Dawes and Young, re- plied somewhat at length, expressing the commission’s “sincerest grati- tude” and saying that the experts had exceeded its hopes, “thanks to the unceasing labor to which the whole woild, when aware of the dif- ficulties and strains of your heavy | task, cannot fail to do justice. May Be Opposition. “Of course,” he continued, “one cannot expect your conclusions, even though unanimous, to meet with unanimous approval in the face of public_oplnion shaken by so many passionate controversies and so many conflicting interests, but none can dispute the technical value and moral authority of such important studies to which disinterested men, urged by no other desire than that of insur- ing peace through just observance of treaties, have Wwith unshaken im- partiality given the whole of their experience, competence and devotion.” M. Barthou paid tribute to the ex- perts’ thoroughness and self-sacri- fice, and then said: Nobody will be surprised if T pay especial homage to the American ex- perts who have come from so far and whose collaboration is an event whose unusual importance, while un- derstood by all, is one to which time alone will give full meaning. Your works have opened a new era in the troubied history of this unstable peace in which humanity seeks to recover its balance.” Task of Commission. Referring to the task now before the reparation ccmmission in, consid- | ering the report, M. Barthou declared the members were aware of the diffi- culties and responsibilities before | them, and added: “But we shall approach them with the same good faith and good will as governed your conclusions. We con- stitute a court before which will ap- lgear not conquerors and conquered, ibut creditors and debtors, whose {rights and liabilities are fixed by public contract. “The reparation commission has to settle the terms and methods of exe- cuting that ocontract! We shall be guided only by our consciences, in- spired. like You. by the most loval de- re to bring finally to the world the joint blessings of right and peace for which it longs.” Thus ended the simplest ceremony of handing over a reparation docu- ment since the treaty of Versailles. Crowd ‘of Reporters. Despite. a pouring rain a crowd of newspaper men and photographers from all the countries of the world i thronged the narrow lobby of the Astoria Hotel, where the kaiser plan- ned a celebrafory luncheon in the fall of 1914, to pay taxes from year to year to the limit of her capacity. This is in ac- cord with the just and underlying principle of the treaty of Versailles, reaffirmed by Germany in its note of May 28, 1919, that the German scheme of taxation must be ‘fully as heavy proportionately as that of any of the | powers represented on the commission.’ More than this limit could not be cxpected and less than this would relieve Germany from the common hardship and give to her an unfair| advantage in the industrial compe- tition of tho future. The plan of the committee embodies this principle. | “The plan has been made to_ in- | clude flexible adjustments, which | from the very beginning tend to pro- | duce a maximum of _contributions | consistent with the continued and in- | creasing productivity of German: | the conservative estimates of pay ments to be made in the near future are dictated by business prudence in outlining the basis of a loan and should not destroy the perspective as to the effects to be registered in the aggregate of eventual payments which will annually increase. Most Hopeful Estimates. “With normal economic conditions }and with productivity restored in Germany, the most hopeful estimates of the amounts receivable are justi- fled. Without such restoration, such payments as may be obtained will be| of little value in meeting urgent needs of creditor nations. “To insure the permanence of the | new economic peace between the al- lied governments and Germany, which linvolves the ecomomic adjustments presented by the plan, there are pro- vided the counterparts of those us- ual economic precautions against demoralization which are recognized as essential in all business relations involving express obligations. “The existence of safeguards in no way hampers or embarrasses the case of ordinary business contracts. The thorough effectiveness of these safe- guards should not embarrass the nor- mal economic functioning of Ger- many and is of fundamental impor- tance to Germany and her creditors. “Great care has been taken in fix- ing the conditions of the supervision over Germany's internal organization | 50 as to present a minimum of inter- | ference consistent with proper pro- tection. The plan submitted is fair and reasonable in its nature and, if aoccepted, is likely to lead to ultimate and lasting peace. The rejection of these proposals by the Gerraan gov- ernment means the deliberate choice of a continuance of economic demor- alizetion, eventually involving her people in hopeless misery. Covered Broad Field. - _ “In the preparation of this report the committee has carefully covered 'a broad field of investigation.
