1S ISAFFETED - BYDEBT ESSIONS American . Investors Hold Most German Bonds; France | Neediest of Allies. By Cable to The Star. LONDON, January 22.—No less a task than “drawing up proposals for com- plete and final settlement of the repa- rations problem” awaits the financial experts of six nations who will assem- + ble in Paris next month at the behest of the allies and Germany. During the last few weeks it has been widely assumed that the forth- coming experts’ gathering would prob- ably extend its terms of reference—as did the original Dawes committee—and | discuss means for the conversion of the German obligations from political into private ones. The American mem- bers of the experts’ committee have already declared that this will not be the case, and Owen D. Young is quoted here as saying that the experts will de- termine only the total amount Ger- many must pay and the number of years in which she will pay it. Two Problems Untouched. This, therefore, will leave untouched two particularly important problems— the manner in which the German pay- ments are to be transferred to the allied governments or. their nationals ; and the means by which the govern- ments, in the first instance, can pass on the German obligations in such a fashion that they will become pos- sessed of immediate hard cash. European public opinion anticipates with mixed feelings the forthcoming experts’ session. It is quite true that considerable pessimism — which, as events proved, was ill founded—greeted the appointment of the Dawes com- mittee in November, 1924.

But she does not want to pay annually more than she is now paying and indeed hopes to | convince the allies that she should pay ! even less, over a comparatively short period of years. Moreover, if the debts are not to be commercialized, Germany is unwilling to forego the protection now afforded her currency and credit by the exist- ence of the transfer committee. Of course, Germany sees that her credit on the world markets would be im- proved if the reparations problem were settled, but many feel that loyal dis- charge of the Dawes annuities would still keep her national credit good. France Needs Money. Of all the interested nations, France the strongest reason . for desiring settlement. She needs money. Her war debt settlements are not ratified, and in August she is due to pay the| United States $400,000,000 for Ameri- can war stocks purchased. Moreover, France has started work on a vast system of fortifications along her eastern frontier, as defined by the peace treaty, and when this com- pleted will be able to contemplate with more tranquillity the evacuation of the ~ Rhineland. So long as the Dawes plan continues to work Great Britain, Italy and Bel- gium would have no very great in- centive to desire any change. The first two already have limited their demands sufficient to cover: their war debts, while Belgium is not especialy in need of such ready cash as might be gained by capitalizing and discounting her ! share of the Dawes annuities. | The United States perhaps has more cogent reasons than any of these three countries to desire the success of the German a final reparations settlement assures s ConHEIERCS, riait. 2309 FLEEING FELON KILLED.
