The experts found this plan most likely to satisfy the Allies and at the same time prove acceptable to the Germans.

One member of this board, with the title of will be vested with the important duties of deciding according to an index of prosperity when the payments provided for in the plan may prove too onerous and may threaten the upsetting of German finances. The index is to be based upon the German exports and imports, the total budget receipts and expeditures, Paris, April report of the experts who have been engaged for the past three months in the task of ascertaining Germany's capacity to pay reparations was handed to the Reparation Commission today. The two committees under the chairmanship of Brigadier General Charles G. Dawes, and Reginald McKenna, have gone deeply into the intricacies of the many problems connected with reparations, and as mentioned in the covering letter, they approached the task "as business men anxious to obtain effective results." The League of Nations is drawn into the reparations problem by the Dawes report while an unofficial representative of the United States is slated for an important role in the execution of the experts' plan, an American member of the general board of control for the proposed new gold bank of issue is quite likely to fill the important post of "Commissioner." His duty will be to decide when Germany's capacity to pay has been reached, while the league finance committee will be asked to arbitrate if the commissioners decision in applying the "index of prosperity" are disputed by either Germany or the Allies. A business matter bereft of politics is how the experts describe the task they have just completed.

WHEELER DENIES CHARGE BROUGHT IN INDICTMENTS Attributes Federal Grand Jury Action To Daugherty's "Malign Influence" CHARGED WITH OIL LAND CONSPIRACY Daugherty "Prosecutor" Said To Have Received Money Illegally Washington, April A. Senator Wheeler, Democrat, Montana, under indictment at Great Falls, on charges of having accepted money improperly after his election but before qualifying for office intends to remain in Washington to continue prosecution of former Attorney General Daugherty's administration. Denying that he had ever represented Gordon Campbell, oil geologist and operator, or others indicted with him in matters before the Interior Department, as charged, Senator Wheeler declared in a statement that "this indictment is simply the result of my activities here on the investigating committee." He has acted for Campbell, he added, in litigation in Montana.

Former Attorney General Daugherty, when informed of the grand jury's action, authorized a statment that the Department of Justice "had nothing whatever to do" with the evidence against Senator Wheeler, all of which he said, was uncovered by the Post Office Department. When first informed of the indictment by the Associated Press Senator Wheeler described it as "palpably a frame-up." The indictment, he asserted, "shows that even with Daugherty out of office, his malign influence still moves his old pawns," and presents "convincing evidence" that the investigation should continue.
