(Continued from Page One) reaching a common accord which will be reflected in reports to their governments. . Work on Questions German delegates are still working on the list of questions submitted by the allies which covers a wide range. It is inferred from some of the Questions that the allied experts believe indirect taxation is not high enough, the Germans being asked whether their taxes on alcohol, beer, tobacco and sugar are as high as those on the same products in France and Great Britain. Other questions concern the German financial policy relative to taxation of wealthy citizens and possible tax increases within a year or two. " The German representatives have jeen asked to estimate the amount of German wealth af present in neutral countries and to state how Germany plans to compensate her citizens for property sequestrated and liquidated abroad. It is suggested that German jvealth in neutral countries has been accumulated by the practice of German firms shipping goods at cost or at' an actual loss to associates in neutral countries. In considering depreciated exchange allied exports have nsked the Germans if they do not rrofit from the low value of the mark to the extent that the labor is not paid proportionately to the compensation of labor in countries where exchange values are higher.

Some of the allies, however, are in favor of having it used as a basis of credit, although the amount of German property in America would probably be insufficient to meet the needs of Germany at the present time. Dollar Mentioned. The American dollar is mentioned frequently as a desirable standard in expressing reparation figures. It is impossible for Germany to export gold marks, and the dollar is considered the most stable unit at present. British shipping and liquidation experts arrived here last night for final conferences with the Germans before today's adjournment. Belief was expressed here today that, when the conference assembles next month, it would be well on the way toward a settlement of the reparations question.
