BY DAVID LAWRENCE. Within a few_days S. Parker Gilbert, agent general of reparations, whose an- nual report has just been made public, will interview high officials of the American Government. He will have the new international committee which is to complete the Dawes plan Mr. Gilbert has been interviewing the strained relations remaining over from the war be removed and an era of really trustful relations between our- selves and all our neighbors be made possible. Without this the foundations of real peace can not be laid. FRANCE SEES SIMPLER PROBLEM. Gilbert Report Held Aid to Work of New Committee. PARIS, January 2 (#).—The report of S. Parker Gilberl as agent-general for reparations is believed in French official circles to have simplified the work of the mew expert which will shortly consider revision ot the Dawes plan. | The ease and regularity with which | Germany has paid up to the maximum annuity is felt from the French view | to show that there is no need for a| new ecxamination of the Reich's ca- pacity to pay. The-questions which ! are looked upon as still to be settled are as to how long must she pay, what form of guarantee stituted for the present military occu- pation of the Rhineland and under what terms can the reparations debt be_commercialized. ‘The general comment on the report as expressed in Paris pays special tribute to Mr. Gilbert's “absolute fair- ness and impartial Guard Against “Flu” With Musterole Influenza, Grippe and Pneumonia usually start with a cold.

He does not indicate the terms of a settlement, but he is con- fident of the formula that shall be applied, Personnel Not Yet Chosen. The first step is the appointment of American experts to sit with the ex- perts of other nations. This has been arranged, but the personnel is not yet chosen. President Coolidge insists that the actual appointment shall allied governments, so as to reserve to America complete freedom of action as to the agreement on which the experls shall decide. /The next step will be for the experts to fix the amount that Germany shall pay hereafter, thus removing some of th> vague and uncertain clauses of the original Dawes plan. When this sum is fixed the effort will be made to float an_international bond issue. Then it will be time for the United States Gov- ernment to decide whether it will take cash scttlements for some of the war debts. This is something Congress must decide. At present there is no favora- ble sentiment for such a step, but there is no tclling what the mood of the world will be when once the reparation indebtedness has been definitely fixed | and the allies come forward with a concrete program for settling their debts to the United States with the proceeds of their expected bond issue.

Meanwhile the United States will lend moral support to the effort to find an economic solution and S. Parker Gilbert will find the Government here very alert to the possibilities, but non-committal as to the decislons, which are properiy | to be left to the experts to make. (Coy ght, 1929.)
