BELGIAN PROPOSALS
CONTROL OF GERMAN FINANCES,
BRUSSELS, 3rd August. The test of the Belgian Note states: —■"If it is necessary to consider Ger-. inany's capacity to pay, it is necessary that the Allied countries which have suffered shall receive correspondi-ig relief, which can' only; be found in cancelling the Allied debts, or priority to devastated areas. The Belgian Government would be happy to discuss at an inter-Allied conference a general definite financial' settlement of reparations. Belgium, sees no reason why the Reparations Commission should not receive the assistance of competent experts. The measures against Germany now being enforced will be abandoned as soon as Germany gives up th> struggle. Belgium attaches importance to the control and restoration of German finances, and favours a conimon Allied reply to Germany."
