for Reparation Payments, such charge being prior to reparation and other
Treaty payments, which in turn have a specific precedence over the existing
German debt,

revenues,” i. e., the gross revenues of the German Government derived
irom the customs and from the taxes on tobacco, beer and sugar, the net
