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.

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. That
authority was re'cited in the official
statement from the state depart

London, July 11.?One hundred i
million dollars will toe levied upon <
Jews all over the world for the re- :

this total, American Jews are ex-J

cording to Dr. Felix Frankfurter]

convention here.
A resolutiorf providing for a campaign
will be adopted Monday.
Sharp conflicts of opinion as to
the methods of immigration* to be
used for the duration of the
British mandate of the Holy Land
occasioned a heated debate yester
day. The younger element sympa-j

in a verbal clash with Doctor Weiz-j

settlement of 500,000 Jews in j
Palestine , to this Doctor We~iz-|
