QERMANY ASK'S TIME LIMIT ON WAIR DEJI Naton Pleads for Prograi Whild Vives It Chanice to feasure Up tc Big Ilurdeus. Spa, Belgium, July 12.-Germany can fulilli future engagements Only if thiey are based on her financial capac :ty, said a statement outlining the Berlin government's plan for repara tions submitted to the allied premiers 'here tonight. The German budget must balance the statement insisted, or there would be a rai)id increase in the oating debt and consequent in flation that would netPralive her rn jbaelty to pay. There must also, it was biperted be no further diminition in lthe fundatiental baMsl of German poli tical economy, which Is already 1111ch weakened. Assuming that Germany's ability to 1ay is use( as a basis, the statement .asked that reparation obligations be expressed in annuties, the minimuni .of wliiclk Would 0be fixed, ald the ob 1i"4t1 '.i to pay such annuities limited u othirty years. Stipulation-was made that the minhimumIt of the annuities ho fixed according to Germany's financial capacities, ald. the'refore, compromise all obligation in gioney alli kIind ac cor(ding to 1h( treaty of Verwailles. This would relate ep (ecially o tihe idiertakiig to pa tIle expienses of tIle arillies of o(.4cu ipati;ol, which are to bo covered partly by IIoney a 11d 1partly inl kindl which mlust, in prinl ip. t)e (relit ed according to uni v'eOrsal mar'ket prices. Request also was made that tie allies fix the max hu imum sum0 du e for r'ela rat loll s, afteor paymeit of whtlich Germany would be fr(e fronm any obligations. As the ecolOmlie develoP1men11t of the -next thirty yearse can not be foretold the statement. .asserted, a plan muist he worked otit by whilch allied govern m1ents would participate Ii tle Ilm provemeiit of financial and ceonotmi( coldlitions in Germany. Experts from allied nations and Germany should meet as soon as pos sile, the statement said, to fix ithe amounts of the annuities to be paid and to pass on tle securities to be demanded. Gwermany's sovereignty in financial matters must nlot be infringed upon in decisions regarding this fea ture of adjusting reparation payments. These experts should also -fix the max intim sum to be pald to the allies by Germany. . . ' 4 ;*. Material which GernIi'Ay is to de liver to the allies under the peace treaty for reconstruction of devastated regions should be specified by the re parations commission, tle statement declared and its value should be credited to Germany. It was said th11 Berlin government had thus far re ceived only lists of claims from the allies for purposes of observation. These lists had been closely .examined, and stiggestion was made that nego tiations lbetween Germany and the repat ation commission should begin in tle nearer future to decide which de. liveries can be derfinitely demanided, andi which, ini view of Germany's eco niomic position, can niot be0 execuited.

Thus, the negotiations with the Ger mans have reached another tense l)oint.
