GERMANS WANT TO KEEP TERMS

STATEMENT BY HERR ERZBERGER.

(Received November 3 J 10.5 a.m.) BERLIN, October 31

Herr Erzberger, during the Budget debate, stated that the national debt from the year 1920 would amount to at least 212 milliards of marks.

A complaint was made that the Budget did not contain a definite sum to meet the cost of carrying out the peace conditions, and Rerr Erzberger replied that Germany did not wish to give the impression that she was shirking obligations, which impression' would he created if too small a sum was mentioned in the Budget. He emphatically declared that Cermany wished to fulfil the treaty conditions. Any inability a.' Germany to pay her liabilities would create a similar inability in France, and wr.uld result in an unheard of international industrial crisis. The Budget was passed.
