C., WEDNESDAY, APRIL 27, 1921N.17 GERMAN PROPOSALS fINALLY MADE KNOWN Terms of Suggestions Are Made Pub ic in Berlin IN COMMUNICATION SENT TO WASHINGTON President Harding Assured That Ger many Will Do Everything in Her Power to Enable American Government to Lend Hand in Dillicult Situation. Berlin, April 26 (By the Associated Press.)-The German people now know the new proposals which the German government submits to the allied powers through the medium of the United States. The terms of the proposals were made public to (lay, as well as -the accompanying assurances forwarded to President Harding. Germany, declaring that the peace and welafre of the world are de pendent upon a speedy and just solution of the reparations question, assures the president that it will do everything in its power to en able the American government to direct the attention of the allied governments to the matter. As pre viously outlined, Germany proposes to pay the allies an indemnity ex tending over a number of years which will amount to 200,000,000,000 gold marks, equivalent to $50,000, 000,000, she will cooperate to her utmost in the reconstruction of de vastated regions; she will place im mediately at the disposal of the rep arations commission 1,000,000,000 gold marks; she is willing to assume the allied objections to the United States and she will issue an inter national loan, the proceeds of which will go to the allies. The German foreign minister, Dr. Simons, explaining the counter pro posals in the reichstag, declared the new offer sent through the United States must not be taken "on the basis of an increase over the pre vious German offer, but only on a different basis." Not From Fear The new step had been taken by Germany, the minister explained, not from fear of new penalties, but ow ing, entirely to the false views en tertained abroad regarding the rep arations question. President Hard ing was appealed to on the princi ple of justice, and the American an swer was awaited at any moment. The text of the note forwarded by Germany to the United States for transmission to the allies concludes with the following points. "1. Germany fixes her total liabil ity at 200,000,000,00 gold marks pay able in suitable annuities. "2. Germany will immediately issue an international loan in which she will participate, and of which the value, rate of interest and scale of redemption shall be subject to agree ment, the proceeds of the loan to be put at the disposal of the allies. "3. Germany will pay, accord ing to her capacity, in labor, interest and redemption, the total sum to be paid which is not covered by the in ternational loan; she considers in this connection that it will be possi ble to pay only 4 per cent. annual in terest. "4. Germany is disposed to per mit the allies to share in an im provement of financial and economic situation. The redemption' of the re maining sums will have to take therefore,. a variable form, depending upon an improvement. It would be necessary to draw up a scheme to be based on 4mi index to be used should the situation become worse. "5. In order to clear herself as quickly as possible of the balance, Germany is willing to cooperate wvith all her strength in the reconstruction of the dlevastatedl regions; she re gards reconstruction as the most uir gent basis of reparations and the most dIirect remedy for miitigating the. hardships of the war and -the hatred betwveen peoples. She will re.. construct towns, villages and town ships dlesignated, or cooperate by supplying labor and material, or in any other way agreeable to the allies. "6. With the same object in view Germany is disposed to pay in kind to states which wverc victims of the wvar, .in addition to re<'onstruction, * accordmig to a scheme as far as pos sible purely commercial. Money in Iland . "7. In order to give undeniable proof of .her good faith, Germany is preparedl immediately to place at the disposal of the reparations commis sion 1,000,000,000 marks, comprising 150,000,000 in gold and silver in for eign exchange and 850,000,000 gold marks in treasury notes, redleemable within three months in foreign ex change or foreign securities. "8. In the event the United States and~ the allies so desire, Ger many Is willing, accordling to the ex tent of their ability andl capacity, to assume the allied obligations to the United States. "9. Germany propose to nego tiate, with the assistance of exports, as to the way in which German de liveries for reparations will be reck.. oned as against the total of Ger many's debt, particularly respecting theo way in which the price value wvill be fixed. "10. As security for credits ac cordled her, Germany is willing to pledlge public revenues and proper ties in a manner to be dleterminedl be tween the contracting parties. "11. With the acceptance of these proposals, Germany's other rnenparains and bliga:--ons il.b annulled and all German mandate Property in foreign countires will be released.0 "12. Germany declares the pres sent proposals only capable of being carried out if the system of penalties is discontinued forthwith and she is freed from all unproductive outlays now imposed on her and that she be given freedom of trade. Would Have Commission "In the event of differences of opinion arising from an examination of the proposals, the German gov ernment recommends that they be submitted for examination to a com mission of recognized expe)rts accept able to all interested governments. She declares herself realy in ad vance to accept as binding any de cision reahed by this commission. Should any other form of proposals in the view of the American govern ment facilitate further negotiation of the question, the German government would ask to have its attention drawn to any points in which alteration is, in the opinion of the American gov ernment, desirable. The German government would also weelcome other proposals from the American gov ernment." Finally the note says: "The Ger nian government is too deeply con vince( of the fact that the peace and welfare of the world are dependent Upon a speedy, just and fair solution of the reparations question not to do everything within its power in order to enable the American governiment to direct the attention of the allied governments to the matter." o---- -- PAlUENT-TEACIiER'S CATIlER ING AT DURANT'S SCHOOL The fact that our best and by far most importan t crop is our crop of boys and givls was brought home to me last Thursday while I was visiting in the Duflant School Community. I went into this section to see a number of farmers in regard to an important piece of Demonstration Work that I hoped to be able to put across. But after visiting several places and finding no on( at home, I began making inquiries as to where everybody had gone. I was told that the people were at the school; and taking the cue, I went to the school too. Upon my arrival at the school, I was invited in to enjoy seeing and hearing the youngsters recite their "Readin', Ritin'. and Rithmetic" and so on. It was really remarkable to me to observe how well the little fel lows could spell, write and read. The comimnity is to be congratulated up on the good work that their school is doing, but above all the teachers are to be praised-not for being efficient teachers, th'at is expecte(l--but for getting all those mothers and fathers to leave their work at home and spend the day in school with their children. Another important feature of the day was the delightful and bounteous picnic which was served upon the grounds. Taken all in all it was a hay well spent for the people of the com munity. W. R.

MAY GE' SWEET POTATO STl'ORI E HOUSE Two business men fron Manning visited Walterboro, S. C., yesterday to inspect the sweet potato curing house and grai elevato I)r, their re'port of what, they saw is inteiesting andI points a1 way of relief for Clarendon county farmers. Four sweet potato curing houses were erected during the past year in different sections of Colleton county. The houses have a capacity of 8,000 bushels each and three of them were filled to capacity during the curiong season. The potatoes we1're sold through The Southern States Produce Distributors, Columbia, S. C., un'der the trade name of Sugarspuds. Eleven carloads were shipped to vaiilous parts of the country, some going to Southern Texas, others to Kansas, New York and North Carolina. The prices received were even better than the growers had expected. The low est price was $1.30 per (-rate of five pecks; the highest, $1.75. The gra in elevator was particular ly interesting. This was erected at a cost of $20,000 last year. It is a substantial concrete and sheet iron building nearly 75 feet high. IIaving storage facilities of 1-5,0011 bushels, the Operators can )uy in any quantity and ship when it is desirable. The farmer with one bushel of car corn inl thle shuck can sell for cash at ally tilme. When cornit is delivered to the eleva Ior the shuck is quickly removed by eirchilery and the shucks are salted ancd baled. There is a ready market for them for feed. Tihe corn is shell td ill a power sheller, thoroughly cleaned and stored away for shipmit. One carload recently shipped to Char leston brolght Ge ] per bushel more than the Western quotation. It is undoubtedly true that the m:ri ket for the lPorta Rica Yam is steadily growing. O1Nly by thorough co-opela' (ion between the growers and the cur ing house operators, careful plant ing ,ind grading can the industry be put on a paying basis. Inl order to de telm ine the niumlber Of fa rmners who will undertake to plant Porta Rica Yais for nrket in case a sweet po tato curing house can be secured for Manning or other parts of the coun ty. readers are asked to address the cditol and advise him of their. inteln t ions. We hope by next week to an noulce defilnitely that a potato house will be built this year. Wri te us at onced' and tell us what you will do.
