SHALL BEER COST MORE?
AN INTERNATIONAL DISPUTE REPARATIONS CONCERNED. Renter’s Telegram. PARIS, June 24. Beer and the Dawes scheme are closely related in a dispute necessitating international arbitration. The trouble arose through the German Government postponing the increased beer tax until January, 1927, to which Sir Andrew McFadyenn, Commissioner of Controlled Revenues, refused to consent, on the ground that the controlled revenues thereby would lose 75 million marks. The Government questioned Sir Andrew McFadycan’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 bis point, consented to the postponement of the increase for a month, after which the Germans’ beer will cost more, unless the Government is successful in its efforts to induce the Commissioner to grant a further extension.
