O, FRIDAY, PRINCIPLE OF DEBT SETTLEMENT HELD ESTABLISHED AT PARLEY Acceptance of Pot-Luck War Claims Collection by‘b U. S. Held Virtually Binding in War Loan Refunding. BY FRANK H. SIMONDS. The twenty-ninth, but by no means the last international conference for the settlement of war problems, must be regarded as belonging the ‘ategory of ‘unpleasant dramas with hapby endings. European allles and the United States can both point to the results’as victorles, for both sub- stantially gained which the wanted, while the ans, at whose expense all the: made. will not have to pay any more as a result of the new decisions.

We shall get our money back in precisely the same way as the French and British and the Belglans will be pald and at the same rate. From the this means become one of the parties at interest in the whole rep- arations tangle. This pleases the French because they belleve that, being interested in what Germany pays, we shall be interested In mak- ing Germany pay. It pleases the British because they believe that our presence In any new conference which may result from a fallure of Ger- many to pay will insure our assist- ance in restraining France from tak- Ing any drastic steps. After all, one may guess that.the amount of our account, if nothing else, would preclude our joining in military methods of coerclon. But what we have actually done is to add our direct and official sanction to the Dawes plan. The fiction that we are rope only unofficially cannot survive the fact that we are one of the creditors of Germany under the Dawes plan, accepting that status, On the whole, since in Its larger aspects, as in 'its origin, the Dawes plan s an American creation, we could hardly have done less. Stability Is Increased. All things considered, the latest Parls conference and the American detall represented a further gain for stability and ‘'a new step towards settlement. The basis of European adjustment is now twofold. The contract between Germany and her enemy natlons of the war, which is the Dawes plan, fixed the method tlements are | and, conditionally, the amount of Germany's payments, and the earller Spa agreement determined the per- centage each of the allies would have in all_German payments. Actually what happened in the recent Paris conference was that the Spa agree- ment was amended to apportion a share to the United States. The man- | ner and provisional amount that Ger- many is to pay has been regulated. The fashion in which the German pay- ments are to be apportioned has been decided. The way is clear for the Quite obviously, the next step is some adjustment o finterallied debts, the model for which will unquestion- ably bhe the inevitable adjustment between France and Great Britain. Inevitably, too, the agreements will be conditional upon the working of the Dawes plan. If Germany should pay the maximum fixed by the Dawes plan, France could pay the United States and Great Britain—the United States in full and Great Britain to the lmits which the British now de- mand. The French are already at the point of conceding that they must pay. but thelr whole contention is going to be that they can only pay their creditors as their German debt- or pays them. In other words, France is unwilling to promise to pay except on a basls of the percentage of what Germany pays here. Right here, T believe, is the most important single fact resulting from the recent Parls conference. The United States has accepted the prin- ciple of joining with its assoclates of the war in collecting its war pay- ments from Germany. It has agreed to take pot luck with the rest. The next step is quite clear, namely, that the whole tangle of interallled debts shall be swept away by a simi- lar agreement. In principle, it is obvious that there is no connection between what France owes the United States and England and what Ger- many owes France, but in practice ¢ is evident that the best asset France has for the payment of a foreign debt must be the payment to her by her great forelgn debtor. And it is quite obvious, too, that no more severe method must be employed to compel French payment than to com- pel German Thus, in a sense, although the mat- ters actually considered were rela- tively trivial, the results achieved at the latest conference may prove of utmost Importance. They have clear- ed the way for the third step in a general settlement. The first was the Parls treaty, which disposed of the territorial question. The second was the Dawes plan, which covered the matter of reparations. There re- mains the question of interallied debts and the debts owed us by our European associates of the war. To judge from what has just happened in Paris, this last problem will be dealt with In two steps. First, a settlement betweén the European allles and, second, a settlement be- tween Germany and the United States. But it is quite clear that in the end both questions will be solved on the basis of German pay- ments in reparations—that we and the British will be paid only If and as Germany pays.
