WASHINGTON, GERMANY CLAINS [T GAN NO LONGER STAND PRIVATIONS Emergency Decrees Tell Peo- ple Nation Has Reached End of Capacity. HEAVY SACRIFICES ASKED TO PAY OFF REPARATIONS New Tax Measures Calculated to Raise $400,000,000 in Addi- tional Revenues. Br the Associated Press. BERLIN. June 6.—The time has | come for Germany to tell the world |° that liberation from “‘unbearable repa- rations burdens” is imperative, the | government declared today in an ap- peal to the people published simul- taneously with a series of new emer- gency tax decrees calculated to yield nearly $400,000,000 in new revenues. “We must call cur last reserves and tell the world that we have reached | the limit of cur capacity to bear priva- | tions,” the appeal declzred. Heavy sacrifices are imperative if the solvency of the nation is to be | maintained, it said, pointing out that | expectations of an end t> the eco- | nomic crisis this Spring were not | realized and that Germany alone can- not save herself from the common distress afficting even the nations | which were victorious in the World War. Cites Economies. Germany's purchasing power, the document said, is diminished by rcpara- tions payments and she is compelled to increase her exports against which other nations are raising increasingly higher barriers in the fierce war for world markets. ““We are often t°1d that Germany has not_econcmized enoug the appeal “At the present juncture that is | pot true. Inc'uding tocay's decrees we have saved 1.500,000,000 marks (about : $345,000,000) in expenses, and so far as ws can see now our 1931 budget is bal- anced.” The government is under no illusi-ns regarding the severity of tne sacrifices demanded from the naticn end its citi- zens, the appeal sald, but these are un- avoidable. “It is better to take from those who have than to risk discovering some day that we ci -t meet our liabilities. We have don¥ everything possible to meet them, and have taken up much foreig: capital, but this is no longer possible.’ Fourth Time in Year. The dreaded ax of government econ omy fell for the fourth time in in 12 months today with the whucn.lon of Bruening's emergency decrees, signed icsterd.y by President Paul von Hinden- urg. They provide for the raising in the aggregate of about 1.650,000,000 marks (about $396,000,000) to balance deficits in the budget by making further slashes in government expenditure and in civil service salaries and by the imposition of a supplementary income tax and new taxes on sugar, petrol and cigarettes. Roughly one-h{ of the necessary amount is obtained from salary cuts and by reductions in the amounts al- lotted for public relief and other finan- cial adjustments. The other half is prcduced by supplementary taxes both on earned and unearned incomes with ! the provision that persons whose in- comes from both sources do not exceed 16,000 marks (about $3,840) annually pay only one tax. Disabled Veterans Exempt. Only totally disabled war veterans| are exempted from additional taxation under the decrees. The supplementary income taxes, or so-called ‘“crisis tax,” will hit prac- tically everybody living in Germany. On earned incomes it ranges frim 1 per cent on salaries of up to 3,600 marks (about $864) to 5 per cent on salaries of 36,000 marks (about $8,640). ‘They become effective July 1 and ex- tend until the end of 1932, but some alleviation in the course of next year is regarded as a possibility. In the preamble to the decrees it is declared that the government will seek authority frcm the Reichstag to intro- duce a 40-hour working weck and to maks overtime dependent on a special permit from local authorities. ~The measures .are believed to foreshadow the introduction of ‘“voluntary labor service” from the ranks of the jcbless, but willing workers. Working Without Parliament. How deeply these measures will affect the Fatherland's economic life, time alone wiil show. Chancellor Breuning's | cabinet is governing without Parlia- ment and is consclous of the power it | holds so long as President von Hinden- ! burg approves its acts. With the decrees effective July 1, if Parliament meets as intended in Oc- tober there will be a useful interval to permit judgment as to how the new laws will operate. However, a clamor is arising in various quarters for a speedy convozation of the Reichstag in order “to strike the deadly weapon of emer- gen%v decres out of the government’ and.” LUNCH MONEY PROVIDED AFTER 8,000 GO HUNGRY Gifts Made to Los Angele!
