GERMANY ASKS FOR THIRTY YEARS IN WHICH TO PAY i Also Asks That Representation Obiigations be Fixed in Annual Payments Spa, Belgium, July 12.?Germany can fulfill future engagemens only if they are based on her financial capacity, said a statement outlining the Berlin government's plan for j reparations submitted to the alliei premiers here tonight. The German uuugei must uaianvv, .... ..... . | ; / ment insisted, or there weuld be a j rapid increase in the floating d< bt. i and consequent inflation that would | neutralize her capacity to pay.; There must also, it was asserted, J be no further dimuniljon in the ^ fundamental bases of German poll-: 'tical economy, which are already] much weakened. Assuming that Germany's ability j to pay is used as a basis, the state- j ment asked that reparation obligi-| tions be expressed in annuities, the minimum of which would be fixed, apd the obligation to pay such anv nuities limited to 30 years. Stipulation was made that the minimum of the annuities be fixed according to Germany's financial capacites, and llierofcrc; comprise all obligations .in money and kind according to the | treaty of Versailles. This would re-j lata cspccially to the undertaking to pay the expenses of^the armies of ; occupation, whteh are to be covered .. partly by money and partly in kind, < wnicn must in principle, uc wiwibw.. according to universal market , ;y prices. As the economic development of^ the next thirty years cannot be . foretold, the statement asserted a plan must be worked out by which i allied governments would partici- ' * pate in the improvement of finan 1 ~ 1 cial conditions in Germany. Experts from allied nations and 1 ' Germany should meet as soon as possible, the statement said, to fix the amounts of the annuities to be paid and to pass on the securities to be demanded. Germany's sovereignty in financial matters must not be infringed upon in decisions regarding this feature or adjusting repara tion payments. Thfcse experts should also fix the maximum sum to , be paid to the allies by Germany. Material which Germany is to de . * gmmmmmmmrmm I Wise Hou w.

VILSON CALLS LEAGUE SESSION 'lace of Meeting Held From An-' nouncement?November 15 Is Date Set by President Washington, July 11.?President' Vilson ,acting under Article V'ofi he covenant of the League bf Na-1 ions, has called the first meeting. >f the assembly of the league for November 15. The place of meeting is reserved Tom announcement in this country >n the ground that as the invitation :ame from the allies, it is the sole jrivilege of the allies to give all the letails of the presidential call. White House officials seem to think hat, although the act of the Presilent is a purely personal orife, the tnnouncement should be made at he state department. It is believed the place of meeting suggested is Geneva. The alternate was Brussels, but it is said the Political atmosphere at Geneva vould be preferable, because of the leutral attitude of Switzerland luring and since the war. It was announced a few days ago from London that the President naa ictually issued the call, but it was ieclared here that the announcement was erroneous, all that had at :hat time developed being the receipt of the invitaticms from the alies. The authority of the President to :all the first meeting of the council af the League of Nations and of the assembly of the league itself is expressly stipulated in Article V.
