These payments are to be supplied from new taxation and from mortgageson the railways and the `great industries of Germany. The reparation money is to be accum- ulated in a new privately managed bank in _:Berlin, with the power of note issue, the control of which is tobe divided among_ Germans, repre- sentatives ' from. the allied nations A The terms of the re-, ' future years;' more or less will be - paid annually according to a care- ' fully dened index of prosperity. If there is-_any dispute over the ap- plication of this index, the: matter is to be referred to arbitration in the League of Nations. To help in n- -ancing the rst reparations and in providing capital for the new bank, a loan of $200,000,000 is to be made, not by other governments, but by pri- vate capital.
