DAWES PLAN FOR GERMANY PUBLIC (Continued From Page 1) people as well as the rest of the world, is held to be vital to success of the plan. General Dawes' committee has proposed to create this confidence by making it to Germany's interest to pay her debts. To this end the broadest, most complicated schemes were devised for rehabilitation of a nation and extracting payments is outlined. Provides for Dictator Involving intricate mechanism of parallel and interlocking boards of directors—the whole supervised by a “reparations dictator” —to safeguard the rights of the allies who are asked to relinquish their economic grip on the Ruhr, the plan Is presented as a unit. It concludes, almost bluntly. In a manner characteristic of "hell and Maria” Dawes that it must be accepted in its entirety, or not at all. Two outstanding features of the report which Dawes stressed in his covering letter where in that the committee has endeavored to so arrange matters that Germany pays taxes as high as those in any creditor country, but no higher, and that her reparations payments are to be gauged by her increasing prosperity. "The plan submitted is fair and reasonable in its nature and if accepted, is likely to lead to ultimate and lasting peace,” General Dawes wrote. “The rejection of these proposals by the German government means the deliberate choice of a continuance of economic demoralization, eventually involving her people in hopeless misery.” Text of Letter The text of the letter, in part, follows: “The President of the Reparations Commission: "Sir —Your committee has unanimously adopted a report upon the means for balancing the German budget and the measures to be taken to stabilize its currency, which I now have the honor to submit. "Deeply impressed by a sense of its responsibility to your commission and to the universal conscience the committee bases its plan upon the principles of Justice, fairness and mutual Interest, in the supremacy of which not only the creditors of Germany and Germany Itself, but the world also have a vital and enduring concern. “Since, as a result of the war, the creditors of Germany are paying taxes to the limit of their capacity, so also must Germany be encouraged to pay taxes from year to year to the limit of her capacity. This is in accord with the just and underlying principle of the treaty of Versailles, reaffirmed by Germany in its note of May 29, 1919, that the German scheme of taxation mtst be fully as heavy proportionately as that of any of the powers represented on the commission. More No* Expected "More than this limit could not be expected. And leas than this would relieve Germany from the common hardship and give to her an unfair advantage in the industrial competition of the future. The plan of the i committee embodies this principle. L "The plan has been made to include adjustments which from the

Baker last week. very beginning tend to produce a maximum of contributions consistent with the continued and increasing productivity of Germany, the conservative estimates of payments to be made in the near future are indicated by business prudence in outlining the basis of a loan and should not destroy the perspective as to the effects to be registered in the aggregate of eventful payments which will annually increase. "To ensure the permanence of the new econohiic peace between allied governments and Germany, which involves the economic adjustments presented by the plan, there are provided the counter parts of those usual economic precautions against demoralization which are recognized as essential in all business relations involving express obligations. Fair and Reasonable

“Great care has been taken in fixing the conditions of the supervision over Germany’s Internal organization so as to Impose a minimum of interference consistent with proper protection. The plan submitted is fair and reasonable in its nature and, if accepted. is likely to lead to ultimate and lasting peace. The rejection of these proposals by the German government means the deliberate choice of a continuance of economic demoralization, eventually Involving her people in hopeless misery. “In its work the full committee has held since Jan. 14. 1924, forty-eight meetings.
