[Sidenote: Work of Reparation Commission.]
In periodically estimating Germany's capacity to pay, the Reparation
Commission shall examine the German system of taxation, first to the end
that the sums for reparation which Germany is required to pay shall
become a charge upon all her revenues prior to that for the service or
discharge of any domestic loan; and secondly, so as to satisfy itself
that in general the German scheme of taxation is fully as heavy
proportionately as that of any of the powers represented on the
commission.
[Sidenote: Refusals in case of default.]
The measures which the allied and associated powers shall have the right
to take, in case of voluntary default by Germany, and which Germany
agrees not to regard as acts of war, may include economic and financial
prohibitions and reprisals and in general such other measures as the
respective Governments may determine to be necessary in the
circumstances.
