NEW INDEMNITY PROPOSALS

PARIS January 20.-- The Réparations Commission announces that 2,034,729 gross tons of shipping were delivered to the Commission up to December 31, of which 2019,654 tons were steamships 9,750 tom trawlers, and 25,325 tons sailing ships.

MINIMUM ANNUAL INSTALMENTS.

;

LONDON, January 20. With the advent of the dew French Ministry reparations negotiations begun in Brussels before Christmas have been, speeded up in Paris in the hope of finding a practical solution which will esable the Allied chiefs to reach a decision at their forthcoming conference. The papers in Paris to-day declare that Allied experts have drafted and signed recommendations to the Supreme Council that Germany should pay five minimum annual Instalments of £480,000,000. This programme was drawn up without the assent of the German delegates whose chief, Herr Bergmann, refused to agree to the amount. L'Echo da Peris says that if payments are not forth coming the customs will be seized and certain nonopolies taken over or formed.

GERMAN GOVERNMENT'S ATTITUDE.

LONDON, January,20. Notwithstanding the apparent disinclination manifested in some German quarters to tackle "the reparations question to the Allies' satisfaction, Reater gathers authoritatively that the German Government fully realises the necessity of acceding to propisals for a partial discharge of the indem- nity by five years' fixed instalments as set out. Acceptance of the proposi- tion would enable the Brussels Conference to discuss Germany's total in debtedness.
