Masson reviewed the French war losses and the reparations France so far has received, and he placed the money still needed for material rve. construction at $1,000.000.000.

Hope lay in the Dawes plan. and America had a certain moral responsibility to see that it was carried out The post-war problem of France was bhaing constantly lost sight of abroad and the financing of reparations had heen attended by serions consequences for the exchange and the budget, and by a substantial increase in the public debt.
