AMERICANS GIVEN PLACES
OF IMPORTANCE ON BOARD
PARIS. July 25. While the
United States' government- ha3
limited its activities in l the re
parations embroglio to an offic
ial observer, and, since the Ver
sailles Treaty has watched the
problem as it became more intri
cate day by day, there has been a
little group: of Americans- here
for the past four years who, have
taken anything-but a minor part
in the vast-Work of the re para
tion commission. "
Tnis unneraided little group
constitutes the staff of account
ants with the commission, and is
headed by George P. Auld, form
erly an officer of the United
States navy, who holds the post
of Accountant General. He 'is
responsible directly to the com
mission for the completeness and
accuracy of all financial records
having to do with the receipt and
disbursement of money and com
modities handed over by Germ
any. " -
.. Position Individual
The position ' of Mr. Auld with
the commission is entirely, Indi
vidual, as he has no connection
with the United States or any oth
er government. His staff of about
20 Americans comes under the
same classification. ------ i
The" task of the accountancy
department la one of the most dif
ficult of the; commission's work.
To strike its daily and monthly
balances, it must deal with ships,
livestock, abandoned war mater
ial, rolling stock, coal and coke,
dyestuffs.-and a score of other
commodities, aa well as the actual
cash payments of German gold
marks. When the balance sheet
has been tallied, it is necessary
to render . the totals " in ' malks.
pounds, francs, lires and dollars.
The commodity valuations have
Been made in nearly all the cur
rencies of Europe, as well, as in
dollars. " '
When currency payments are
made, they Are immediately con
verted to gold through the 'dollar
Tate, wtith i-oughly jfoutt" marks
equalling one dollar. The New
York exchange rate for 20 or 25
countries by cable each day, and
with these rates as a basis, daily.
weekly aarid monthly parities be
tween the 'various currencies are
established. At the end of each
month, a c6mplete report la made,
showing the amount Germany has
paid to date and how It has been
distributed among the Allies.
Much of this work is done by
the American staff. One com
putes the value of coal from the
Ruhr; another determines the
worth of live-stock in francs, dol-
ars and pounds; another reduces
locomotives to marks and then
to-Hres, while another one quotes
ducks, geese and chickens in dol
lars, guilders and crowns.
At the end of 1922, the account
ancy department under Mr. Auld
had whipped the miles of figures
into an Intelligible report,: show
ing that Gerjmany had turned over
to the Allies a grand total of
$1,982,000,000. "Jf tn"" BUW
$454,000,000 was in cash; $889.-
0-00,000 in . commodities, and
639,000.0i00 In state .properties
of ceded territories.
Transportation Figures
The ships -she had parted with
totalled tw and a half million
gross tons, valued at 1177.000,000
Of rolling-stock she had delivered
4.532 locomotives and -12.000
wagons, worth $207,000,000. The
livestock included "T29.000 head,
exclusive ef poultry. This was
given a valuation . of mu.uuu,
000. The- jsoal.-coke and lignite
delivered exceeded 48 million tons
worth $237000,000. the dyestuffs
totalled 23,000 tons, valued at
$15,000,000. and the miscellane
ous commodities, too numerous to
rlasRify. were determined to .be
worth $131,000,000.
The selection of Mr; Auld to
head the Important accountancy
bureau of - the reparations com
mission was made after he had
spent several months in Paris as
assistant financial advisor to tpe
Peace Commission. Although
only! 42 years of age,; he had
