ALLIES AND GERMANY.
FINANCE MINISTER’S VIEWS. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Berlin, Feb. 12. Herr Wilts, Minister of Finance, addressing the Chamber of Commerce, said that the German Government was not going to London to submit to dictation. They were prepared to do their utmost, because they felt morally obliged to assist in reconstruction, therefore they would submit reparation proposals to the London Conference. The nation must realise that the pay-* ment must be made, not from the national wealth, but from work, and it was therefore questionable whether all the fruits of the revolution could be safeguarded. It was impossible for America to keep aloof when the world’s economic force was assembled at the Conference, because the decisions would remain in the region of theories unless tile whole econonvc world co-operated.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn. EXPORT TAX EXPLAINED. Paris, Feb. 13, The Foreign Minister in consequence of protests by German newspapers and neutral traders has issued a statement that the proposed 12 per cent, tax does not aim at compelling Germany to create a tax on exports, but to force her to deduct 12 per cent, from the total value.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
