GINI SAYS BERLIN CAN PAY
Would 'Draft Youth for Reparations
Werk
Heme, Dee. 11!. - (Hy A. P.)
Corrade Oinl, professor of Mutlstlcs
in the University of Padua, te whom
was Intrusted tin inquiry as te whether
Hermnnv enn nav retinrntiens. hew
much nnd In whnt form, has decided the
lirst question in the nflirmntive. of.
(Hnl makes several proposals concern
ing the best systems for the liquidation
of the debt.
One of his principal suggestions is
compulsory service for reparations,
similar te the military service in nor
mally before the war. That compul
sory service would embrace all youths
of twenty years of nge for one or two
years. Surh youths would serve either
In reconstructing devastated regions or
In creditor nations, where they might
be fed ut the expense of the Herman
Government. In the latter ease the total
value of their work would go toward
reparations. If fed nt the expente of a
creditor nation only the difference be
tween the value of their feed and t lie
value of their work would be credited te
repnrntlens.
Prof. Glnl nlse proposes taMiic a
census of all precious metals, jewels
nnd foreign currency in Germany, nnd
making compulsory their sale te the
state or te foreigners. Nobody would
be allowed te keep any of these things,
except by paying a sum In geld far
greater than their intrinsic value.
SENATE COMMITTEE BEGINS
HEARINGS ON FARM CREDITS
Bills Sponsored by Lenroot and Cap
per Explained by Authers
Washington, Dec. H.'. (Ity A. P.l -Proponents
of various farm credit bills
appeared today lielere the Senate iiatiu
llig Committee at the opening of hear
ings en credit legislation.
Senater Capper, chairman of the
Senate farm bloc, opened the hearings
with an explanation of his bill and
xvus followed by Senater Lenroot. who
outlined the Lenroot-Andersen bill con
taining previsions indorsed by Admin
istration officials.
Among these present nt the hearing
were Eugene Meyer, director of the
War Flounce Corporation, and mem
bers of the Federal I'm in 1auii Beard.
Senater Cupper snid his livestock
lean bill would meet the needs of betn
large and small livestetk growers, butl
did net deil with the credit require
ments of the general lauacr. The bill
provides for co-operative associations
with $".r0,000 capital, whose paper
would have discount privileges with
federal reserve banks. The small live
stock growers, lie said, teiild secure
leans through such associations, and
he did net believe the bulk of capital
for the associations would come from
tlie industry, but from banking and
business intete.sts of the community.
