Offers to Pay Thirty Billion
Gold Marks as Obliga
tions of World War.
BOND ISSUE PROPOSED
TO RAISE BIG AMOUNT
i
[Entire Reparations Amount
Would Be Paid by End
of Year 1931.
BERLIN. May 2.—The German
povei nment, in notes sent today to
the Entente nations and the United
States, makes a new reparations
offer proposing: as the sum total
cf her obligations, in cash kind,
under the Versailles treaty, to be
fixed at 30,000.000,000 gold marks.
The proposition offers that 20,
000,000.000 gold marks be raised
before July 1, 1927 by a bond issue
at normal rates of interest on the
international money market; 5,000,
000,000 gold marks be raised before
July 1. 1929 and the same number
cf marks for the remaining amount
of the sum two years later.
The note asserts that Germany
will also make payments of the kind
in accordance with existing treaties,
payments to be credited to her ac
count.
The offer provides that if the
amount is not satisfactory the whole
matter is to be left to an un
prejudiced international commission
as suggested by Charles E. Hughes,
Fccretaiy of State, of the United
States.
