REPARATIONS.
THE EMPIRE'S SHARE. (by cable -tress association—copyright.) (Australia:; and n.3. oaple association.) (Received January 11th, 0.0 p.m.) LONDON, January 11. The British Treasury has handed Sir Joseph Cook, Australian High Commissioner, a cheque for' £912,000 for reparations. The cheque represents a 4.35 per , cent, share of an accumulation of the £18,000,000 collected by Britain from the 20 per cent. Customs duty on German goods during and preceding the operation of tho Dawes Plan. Canada receives a similar sum and New Zealand £310,000. This virtually winds up the balance of tho reparations collected before the Dawes Plan. Henceforth, the Dominions will draw a share of the Empire's quota of the ordinary payment under tho Dawes Plan, from which the Empire, in December, received £923,250.
