AGREEMENT SEEN | ONDEBT QUESTION Indemnity for U. S. Rhine . Army Expected to Be Ar- B ranged Tomorrow. By the Associated Pres PARIS, April é—Another meeting ©of the conferees op the gubject of re- imbursement of the cost of the United States Army in the Rhineland will be necessary, it developed at to- day’s conference of the allied repre- sentatives with Eliot Wadsworth, as- sistant secretary of the United States Treasury. It had been thought to- day's meeting might complete the pegotiations. %he delegates had the French text of the allied proposition before them today. It was ordered translated Into Englich and will be considered again tomorrow. The question of priority for payments to the United States out of future German reparations is still in suspense, but it is expected a full agreement will be reached to- morrow on the basis of the terms proposed by with terms eome insignificant in the text. The allled members of the confer- ence assert that the amount owed to the United States can easily be ab- sorbed in a few years. . it is painted out that Germany, up to the present, has paid approximately 8,000,000,000 gold marks, and that in the I she turned over to the allies 72 Eold marks, together with very large amounts of materials, much of which was converted by the receivers into currency. Thus far no one in well informed eircles seems willing to hazard a guess as to when Germany will yield to the Franco-Belgian occupation of the Ruhr, except that it will be before autumn, but when the event does take place, it 18 asserted, the United States, with her limited priority on payments, will certainly begin recelving money It is further stated that, whether the German payments are in money or in kind, the United States will be paid in currency, as she has requested.
