AIM OF EXPERTS’ REPORT
IS PAYMENT, NOT PENALTIES,
DECLARES' GENERAL DAWES
Covering Letter of Head of
Commission Explains
Method Used to Arrive at
i Equable Decision
PARIS, April 9.—Brigadier Gen
eral Charles G. Dawes, the unofficial
American representative on the first
committee which examined into the
economic and financial situation in
Germany, in a covering letter to the
report of his committee tells the
reparations committee that the com
mittee's recommendations “must be
considered not as inflicting penal
ties but as suggesting means for as
sisting the economic recovery of all
European peoples and the entry’
upon a new period of happiness and
prosperity unmenaced by war.”
The covering letter of General
Dawes follows:
“To the President of the Reparation
Commission:
“Sir:
"Your committee has unanimously
adopted a report upon the means
for balancing the German budget
and the measures to be taken to
stabilize its currency which I now
have the honor to submit.
“Deeply impressed by’ a sense of
its responsibility to your commission
and to the universal conscience, the
committee bases its plan upon those
principles of justice, fairness and
mutual interest in the supremacy’ of
whicU not only the creditors of Ger
many’ and Germany’ itself, but the
world also have a vital and enduring
concern.
“With these principles fixed and
accepted in that common good faith
which is the foundation of all busi
ness and the best safeguard for uni
versal peace, the committee's rec
l ommendations must be considered
(not as inflicting penalties but as stig
j gesting means for assisting the eco
nomic recovery of all European
| peoples and the entry upon a new
i period of happiness artd prosperity
j unmenaced by war.
Creditor Nations Taxed
“Since as a result of the war, the
creditors of Germany are paying
taxes to the limit of their capacity,
so also must Germany be encour
' aged to pay taxes from year to year
to the limit of her capacity. This
i is in accord with the just and under
■ lying principle of the treaty of Ver
sailles. reaffirmed by Germany in
its note of May’ 29, 1919, that the
German scheme of taxation must be
‘fully as heavy proportionately as
that of any of the powers represent
ed on the commision.’ More than
this limit, could not be expected, and
less than this would relieve Ger
| many’ from the common hardship
and give to her an unfair advantage
in the industrial competition of the
future. The plan of the committee
embodies this principle.
“Th© plan has been made to in
clude flexible adjustments which,
from the very beginning, tend to
produce a maximum of contribu
tions consistent with the continued
and increasing productivity’ of Ger
many; the conservative estimates of
payments to be made in the near
future are dictated by business pru
dence in outlining the basis of a
loan and should not destroy the
perspective as to the effects to be
registered in the aggregate of even
tual payments which will annually
increase.
“With normal economic conditions
and with productivity restored in
Germany the most, hopeful estimates
of the amounts receivable are jus
tified. Without such restoration
such payments as may’ be obtained
will be of little value in meeting
urgent needs of creditor nations.
“To insure the permanence of
the new economic peace *between
the allied governments and Ger
many, which involves the economic
adjustments presented by’ the plan,
there are provided the counter parts
of those usual economic precau
tions against demoralization which
are recognized as essential in all
business relations involving express
obligations.
Safeguards Not Hampering
“The existence of safeguards in
no way hampers or embarasses the
case nf ordinary business contracts.
The thorough effectiveness of these
safeguards should not embarrass
the normal economic functioning >f
Germany and is of fundamental im
portance to Germany and her cred
itors.
“Great care has been taken in
fixing the conditions of the supervi
sion over Germany's internal organ
ization so as to impose a minimum
of interference consistent with prop
er protection.
The plan submitted is fair and
reasonable in its nature, and if ac- ]
cepted, is likely to lead to ultimate
and lasting peace. The rejections of
these proposals by’ the German gov
ernment means*the deliberate choice
of a continuance of economic de
moralization. eventually involving ■
her people in hopeles= misery.

connection with various features of
its report, both for the purnose of
gathering information and for ad- j
vice, the committee called to its as- i
sistance outside experts of Interna- :
tional reputation.
"The published reports and state- ■
ments of economists of world-wide '
standin.,, have been in its hands. It
has had also the benefit of the ac-'
cumulated information heretofore ■
gathered by the reuaration commis
sion.
“In its work the full committee
has held since January 14, 1924,
forty-eight meetings. The subcom-:
mittee on the stabilization of cur
rency, composed of M. Parmentier,
Sir R. M. Kindersley, M. Emile
Franqui and Prof. F. Flora, assisted
by Mr. Her y M. Robinson, and un
der the chairmanship of Mr. Owen
D. Young, has held sixty-eight meet
ings, and the subcommittee on 'bal
ancing the German budget, composed
of M. Alix. Baron Houtart and Dr.
Pirelli, under the chairmanship of
Sir J. C. Stamp, has held dxty meet
ings. These subcommittees have also |
had the assistance of Mr. Andrew!
McFadyean, the general secretary of
the reparation commission. The time
of the committee outside of that con
sumed by its meetings, has beea
given largely’ to investigation and
study.
“In speaking of my’ colleagues
and as bearing upon the value of
this report, I feel that I should
ma'-’e known to the reparation com
mission and to the world that their
governments have in no case limit
ed their complete independence of
the ■ ' -ment and action, either be
fore or after the appointment by
the reparation commission.
“Limited only by Ihe powers grant
ed by the commission, each of my
colleagues has performed his work
as a free agent; these men search
■ ing for truth and advice thereon
were answerable only to their con
sciences. In granting-this freedom,
the governments have on the same
lines followed the commission’s sPir
it and intent in constituting the
committee, but in so doing they have
paid the highest tribute which gov
ernments call bostow, namely, com
j plete confidence in a time of crisis
in human affairs. In their vision,
in their independence of thought,
and, above all, in their spirit of high
and sincere purpose, which rises
above the small things over which
the small so often stumble, my col
leagues have shown themselves
worthy of this trust.
“That their work, which I now
place in the commission’s hands,
may assist in the discharge of the
commission’s great responsibilities
Is their prayer, and the knowledge
hereafter that it has done so w>fi
be their full reward.
(Signed)

Ihe Farmers Profits are not
J Dependent on Freight Rates
There are many things which determine whether or
not a farm crop brings profit or loss to the farmer.
■H Normally, the farmer has a right to expect and get a
price that will repay him for production costs, plus a
fair profit.
Even on fertile ground, with expert cultivation and
every condition favorable, a drought or freeze at the
wrong time may tip the scale from profit to loss. A
Sr war abroad, a slump in business, or a strike in some
locality boosts or lowers the price of farm products,
unexpectedly.
For the railroads to reduce freight rates (even if
conditions'allowed a reduction;, would not insure the
farmer against any of these possible losses; nor would
it guarantee him a profit.
In most cases, the farmer’s responsibility for his crop
is ended when his produce is delivered to the depot or
is put in cars on the freight siding. It is the man who
buys the farm products who pays the cost of trans
porting them to market; not the farmer.
If you raise your crops on a basis that will produce a
profit when loaded on the cars, you are independent of
freight rates. But if, on the other hand, you have suf
fered a loss in growing your produce, no reduction of
freight rates can possibly wipe out your loss.
What the farmer needs, and should have, is not lower
freight rates but a fair price and a wider market for
„ everything he produces. That the railroads desire to
T help the farmer is proven by the 12* reduction they
have made in freight rates during the past two years
amounting to over one billion dollars.
Further reduction of rates would impoverish the railroads,
Wn- f armers would be the first to suffer
