LONDON, Dec. 30. -—Prime Minister Boner Law will take to the .
Paris conference of premiersa complete plan, upon which the British
Cabinet passed judgment yesterday in the hope of obtaining a French
agreement for a final settlement of the reparations problem, it was
announced in British oflicial quarters today.
Details of Mr. Bonar Law’ 5 reparations’ plan were not available

Suggests Mortgage.
PARIS.‘DPC. 30.-A mortgage on
the wealth of the German people up
to twenty percent. of its total value is
the guiding principle of the repara-
tions proposal which Germany will
make to the premiere conference, at:-
Ebrdlng to the version of the German
plan given by Lucien Chamigne, for-
eign editor of the Journal. \
The mortgage. the writer says,
would be established by means of in-
come tax returns. Small businesses
would make direct payments on the
obligation. but. in the case of large
concerns special shares_,.f non-voting
stock haVlng‘ preference in the profits
would be created. All these shares
would be centered in s. bank in Hol-
land or Switzerland managed by a.
mixed control board presided met by
a neutral.
Such a mortgage. M. Chassaigno
says, is estimated by the Germans to
however. Chancellor fine} no

te‘nty which limit German commer-

Although France accepts the prin‘

much as the French share in the total

The international bankers, the “fi-

Hughes: Suggestion.

sure by Secretary Hughes in his New
Haven speech last night or the belief
or the Washington Government. that
an international commission of finan-
ciers. including Americans, might welt
of settlement for the reparations 31-14
sis. apparently leaves the next. move
in the hands of the allied premiers.
The American suggestion, Mr.
Hughes specified. was offered as an
otter-native in the event. that’the pre-
