FRENCH PROPOSALS.

LATER.

It is understood that the majority opini ion of the Committee of experts is against the French proposal for the establishment of customs and the imposition of taxution in, the occupied area. The proposal to seize mines and forests is also rejected but the Committee will be invited to con- sider a system of guarantees ensuring supply of coal and wood for the Allies The proposal to ask Germany to agree to at share in her industrial concerns being given to the Allies is likewise rejected. The Committee generally favoured Signor Schanzer's view that there was a con- tradiction between grunting a morntorium and taking German property. It was also held that the steps were unnecessary in view of the guarantees lately imposed by the Committee of Guarantees. It was felt necessary not merely to look at some of these, mutters from a financial standpoint but in take into account their political and moral cfects.
