GERMAN BEER
* DISPUTE OVER TAX. DUTCH ARBITRATION. PARIS, June ,24. Beer and the Dawes scheme have been closely related in connection with a disputo necessitating international arbitration. The trouble arose through the German Government postponing the increased beer tax until January, 1927, to which Sir Andrew McFadyean, Commissioner of Controlled Revenues, refused to consent on the ground that the controlled revenues thereby would lose 75,000,000 marks. The Government questioned Sir Andrew McFadyean’s competence to interfere, and requested arbitration on the matter, which was submitted to a Dutch arbitrator, who upheld Sir Andrew’s competence. The latter, having gained his point, consented to the postponement of the increase for a month, after which the Cermans’ beer will oosrfc more, unless the Government is successful in' its efforts to induce the Commissioner to grant a further, extension. —Router.
