Germany Is quickly to return to n peacetime financial sys tem, said Mathlas Erzbergcr, vice chan cellor onel minister of finance, spenklns at Weimar before tho German national assembly yesterday. Among other things the pnyment of grants to men vtho are unemployed will be reduced. "The cmplro's needs must be divided henceforth between home needs nnd In demnities," he said. "Tho year's ex- twPenuiiures connuiium a ..... ............ to about 17,rUU,UUU,uuu mnrns. i am firmly resolved to tread the hard path of economy, nnd therefore have given out the watchword that from October 1, 1010. there shall be no more Hems not detailed, and there shnll be no more war funds. The war finance system ihall cease nnd a regular budget system must be ro-established. "The first guiding principle Is that there mnst be no moro unproductive exjendlturcs. Therefore a grndual aboli tion of noneraployment grants muRt be faced. How are the full requirements for the empire, new states nnd com munes, which may be etimntcd at some 25,000,000,000 marks, to be covered?" Indemnities Heavy Burden After citing the returns to the empire from taxation measures prior to nnd during the war, and estimating the revenue to be derived from new tax bills, Herr Erxzerger said : "There still remains a sum of over 10,000,000,000 mnrks to be covered. "The ministry of finance has almost completed th edraftlng of two Import ant bills levying new taxes which I In tend to submit to the House before the parliamentary recess," he continued. "These call for a largo single levy on property and a large tax on business turnover, but even If these bills are passed, the money for tho pnyment of indemnities must b eobtalncd In some other way. In the autumn new bills will be Introduced In the national as sembly wlh tthe final object of covering this deficit. "Th beurdens of taxation will rncch an absolutely terrible height. A float ing debt of 72,000,000,000 mnrks Is a ronstant danger and the removal of this debt is one of our most utgent tskas. There are two ways In which to do it: cither its convcrson Into n funded lotan, or its extincton by big lvells nnd a' heavy eproperty tax. "I do no tindulgc the hope that thee two ways will immediately yield the I entire amount of 72,000,000,000 marks. ' It Is the duty of propertied people, not I only to bow to n sntte of nnpiilslon , but to achieve nn Inwnrd conviction ns to the necessity of giving up all riches i and all that Is superfluous, "Changes In the system of tnxntlon' will be speedily submitted to the ua-1 tlonnl assembly nnd this reform will represent the completion of the whole i work." Herr Krzbcrgcr concluded by asking I that taxation blls be disposed of be fore n recess Is taken, nddlng: "The war takes our riches. The world has denied us International jus tice. All tho more pnsslonatcly nnd energetically, however, will we work for tho homeland again nnd, flourish ing in justice, conccntrnte our care nnd endeavor upon the poor, but just German."

The delegates, who expressed them selves ns entirely satisfied with the re sults of their efforts to bring the case of Irelnnd before the Pence Conference anil to the attention of the world, were met I nt the Waldorf-Astoria bv Edward De i Valera. the president of the "Irisdi Re- ! public." Arrangements were mnde for' n meeting today of the leaders of the Trixh movement in America, when , the complete report of the delegates will bo presented nnd when a new nnd more j intensive drive for Americnn public i opinion will lie inaugurated. ! In nn interview jiostcrdny Mr. Wnlsh scathingly denounced the British policy in the I'eaie Conference nnd predicted freedom for Irelnnd. by peaceful menns or otherwise, within the course of a few months. He said the press of Eu ropp is ringing for action by England. Sir. Dunne declared the sentiment in Knglnnd for n complete settlement of the Irish problem is such that unless I.lowl George quickly nets in favor of the Irish independence his government will fall. Although Governor Dunne would not snr it in so mnnv words, thorp wns an inference that Lord Northellffe wns in n mood for another assault upon the government. England Charged With Gain "When England's pledges of altru ism," said Mr. Walsh, "our late four teen points, nnd the peoples, countries nnd riches captured by England, with its immense necessions of sen power, are sqt down side by side, the condi tion disclosed Is awesome to the demo cratic mind. "On November 10, MM, Mr. Lloyd George declared : 'As the Lord Iiveth Knglnnd docs not seek n ynrd of ter ritory. We are in this war from motives of purest chivalry, to defend the weak.' "On Februnry 27, 1015, he asserted with dramatic fervor that 'the in famous suggestion that Knglnnd de sired territorial or other aggrandise ment' wns a lie of the enemy. "Here is n part of England's grab of peoples under the peace terms: German East Africa, area 3S4.1S0 square miles, population 7,005.204 ; German Southwest Africa, area ft22. 200 square miles, population lOO.TOO; German Snmonn Islnnds, nrea more than 1000 square miles, population IW.IHO; Nnurn, n small islet just south of the equator; the Bismarck Archipelngo. the Germnn Islnnds of the Solomon group, the German portion of New Guinea : the nrea of this territory Is 04,200 square miles, the population is 0:10,584 ; nnd she has sei7cd 1-K.vpt. "The territory acquired bv England through this wnr is 1100,000 square miles greater than the total area of the original thirteen states of the American I'nion nnd more than five times ns large ns the whole of France. "England likewise is dominant In the control of the league of nntlons. Sir Eric Drummond being given the secre tariat. He is now perfecting his or gnnimtion in the shadow of Westminster Hall In London. "This secretarial control !! second only in value to the acquisition of ter ritorial riches. European statesmen agree thnt the secretary of the league nf nntlons will tic n more novverful fac tor in hnldlne England's imperialistic gnins nnd further lier agressions thnn j would ho tho control of n clenr majority of the representatives in that body, of which England nlrendy has five to America's one. "Ireland today, under God, is writ ing one of tho most brilliant pages in the history of the great democratic world endeavor I'nlrss she, with other oppressed nations, swiftly secures her liberty, the dead soldiers of democracy will hnvo been tricked to their doom and the hope of universnl pence must fade before the murderous rule of the naked sword." ments were twisted out of their original meaning, "In this lntest 'explanation' there Is mention of n Sinn Felu proclamation In Tlppernry. Who is responsible for that proclamation? It is much more likely that that proclamation was got out and put up by tho agents of the English themselves thnn thnt it proceed ed from nny Sinn Fein sources. Ser geant Sheridan may not be known to the American public and Tlppernry was the scene, of his operations also. "There has been no such proclamation of the republican government covering nny nren, but there hns been nn net pnssed by the republican government asking the Irish people not to frnter nizo with the English force of occupa tion, the armed constabulary. These forces were to be ostracised socially. "The cry of lawlessness Is nn old cry of the British Government ngninst Ire lnnd. The Irish people are now as they hnve ever been., the most lnw-abldlng nnd law-loving people on the face of the earth. There is much tess ordinary crime In Irelnnd thnn in England, and while the British Government tries to blacken Ii eland's reputation abroad, the regular judges that administer English law in Irelnnd nre constrained to ndmit that Ireland is nt this very same time prnc tirnlh crimeless."
