GERMANY
REPARATION PAYMENTS.
THE USUAL PLEA,
Press Association—By Telegraph-Copyright.
BERLIN, March 29,
The Chancellor (Dr Wirth), in the Reichstag, denounced tho demand of the Reparations Commission and the Allies’ demand for a further sixty milliards of marks. Ho said that fresh taxation was impossible. Germany was a parliamentary country and could not impose such burdens on the people without consulting them. It was not possible to raise a fraction of the sixty milliards—it was scarcely possible to raiso another sixty millions. It seemed that there was an idea abroad that Germany was extravagant; but she was doing everything to restrict her expenditure. Tho etabilisation of tho mark was impossible without an international loan and the revision of tho Versailles Treaty.—A. and N.Z. Cable.
