THOMPSON, County Auditor. - Nrov. .0th., 1920. A**ItsElMENf lREA{ilEI~BY 0OUNCIL ON REPAlATIOpS All Oler Importait QueStioIs Settled by Supreme Council Before Adjourn. nienLt. Paris, Jan. '29.-,Full egreement on reparations, Germ'nan disarmament and all other -important quostions before it, was -reached 'by the -supremo coun cil of the -allies when it adjourned at 5:40 o'clock this eveninig to meet agaie 'in London February 21. The greatest .result obtained was as M. Briand, the French premier, ex pressed - after the closing session, maintonance by .the Allies of a front as united in making peace as it was in making war. Count. Sforza, the I'talian foreign minister .and M.:Briand said the conference had resulted to the satisfaction of everybody con cerned, A protocol was signed approvin-g the reparations scheme as agreed by .the special committee appointed by the council to consider the subject and also the 'report on the disarna ment of Germany as .)resonted by the military committee. Under these ar rang(lents Germany mu;t d~i'arm by July 1, disbaiding all ier civic guards not proviled for It the Versaille. treaty. Germany will be cafled 1poll to imy in forty-two annuities ofn a slid ing scale 226,000,000,000 gold marks. Der cx)orts will in addition bear an export duty of twelve per cent and that will go to the allies. On the basis of last year's exports, this :would give 'the allies 1,250,000,000 gold marks or twelve )ercent of whatever money in which the exports are paid for. Thus, it is estinated, the first paynent made by Germany will be 3,250,000,000 gold marks. The export tax being paid entirely in cash. It is -pointed out that, besides being a sure method of collection of the re parations, it will act as a protective tariff in countries that are neighbors of Germany, which are likely 'to be flooded with goods made in Gerniany at a very low cost of production be cause .If the relatively low value of the mark and which consequently can be offered In foreign markets at very low prices in foreign money. The penalties agreed upon by the council for violations by Germany will apply to all the agreements alike -rearations, disarmamAeut and coal deliveries. A strong feature of the reparations ;lan, from the French point of 'view is that it associates .the allies in the benefits of Germany's .prosperity. According to the terms of the ar rangement, the annuity and export -taxes are -payable semi-annually. 'Dis count for advanced payment will be eight percent for the flrst two year. six per cent the third and fourth years, and flve .percent thereafter. Germany is forbidden to establish foreign credits without the approval of the repa-rations commission. The supremo council's decisions were c9mnunicated to Germany. In the attempt to aid Austria, it was agreed 'that the allies shoula forego reparations, the cost of the army of occupation and certain other Austrian decbts to the allies in order to enable Aumstm is to more easily ob tain outside aid. It was also decided to convene in -the neighborhood of Triest a conference of Austria and ad .joining countries for the purpose of endeavoring to improve economil commercial, financial and political re lations between the central European states. Approval was given to M. Lou cheur's propos0al for a 200,000,000 franc corporation to assist Austrian industries, in which .tihe different 'gov ernmente may participate. A com mission wvill be app~ointed to inquire in'to the conduct of the'-Austrian ad ministration with a view to suggest ing economies and improv'ing the various service. The Bhritish' pr'ime minister express ed lively satisfaction over the fact 'that the allies had maintained 'their solid front. In taking leave of his colleagues ho said: "We shall be -glad to 'try to give you in London as cordial a reception a ave received 'here and we ho0pe that you will be able to confront the Lon don fog all the 'inore courageously since the fog of the conference has been dlissipated."' Remove Uncrtainty -Washington, Jan. 29.---ixing or the amount of Germany's reparations, as announced f rem Par'is, treasuary of ficials said tonight, should go far towards removing the uncertainty. financial and economic .in EFur'ope. I 'a certain income can bQ assured the allied nations, officials said, the pro cess of unwindhing the tangle left .by the war can in .their opinion proceed With goodl prospects of success. Except indhirectly, however, oficinis said, thme fixing of the amount of re parations woeuld be withont effect upon 'the lidiuidlation of the $i0,000, 000,000 war loan 'to the allies by this' country. The moral effect of the settlement of this queation, theynonn. tended might to some extent result in accelerating payment by the allies of their debta to this country. Tile United States, the officials add ed, hae consistently taken the position -that -no -scheme for liqluidating the al lied loan -would be acceptable which nade payment to this country contin gent upon Gernany fulflling her re pnarations obligations. The allied debt to the United States, they said, is -a separate and distinct matter from any Indeminity to be exacted from Ger many.
