Their purpose in assembling here, in the words of Julius H.

Report Causes Flurry. | For a brief period today there was a | slight flurry and curiosity in political circles when the Augsburger Zeitung | stated that former Foreign Minister | Richard von Kuehlmann had been sent to Paris to negotiate provisional ar- rangements with the allied experts. But this quickly subsided on the issuance of an official statement that Herr von Kuehlmann was in Paris solely on pri- vate business. As to the Reichsbank, the Associated Press learned that the financial siti tion is considered to have been so well stabilized by Dr. Schacht and his col- Iaborators that the Reichsbank directors determined at the beginning of today's session not to depart from the practice hitherto observed, of issuing no com- muniques on these regularly recurrent meetings. If Owen D. Young, Americen repara- | tions chairman, should arrive at a com- promise reparations figure acceptable to | the allies it probably would receive & | favorable German reception. Expect Elastic Terms. Germans believe th:‘té it %hedsrm‘z‘ ment should be too a burden terms would be elastic encughrto pro- vide some measure of relief. Granting even that Mr. Young sub- mitted figures judged here beyond Ger- | many's capacity to pay, if they were | accompanied by a ‘“protection” clause similar to that contained in the Dawes lan they might prove workable, at| rn.sc for the present. Germany, it was said, could make a yeal and determined effort to meet them, but if such measures, loyally un- dertaken, proved ineffective the Ger- man government, would want to be in a jtion to demand revision without | mnl charged with bad faith. Several Reports Likely. ! Dr. Schacht, it is said, foresees two and possibly three reports from the sec- ond Dawes committee to the govern- ments of the various delegates, one by the allied experts, one by the Germans and perhaps one by the Americans. The study of these will be most wvaluable for delegates to any later con- | ference. One of the most pleasing aspects of the negotiations at Paris from Dr. Schacht’s point of view is the unanim- ity that has characterized the opinions ©of members of the German delegation. | He told a friend that he never dreamed the delegation of four men, with strong views personally, could see so perfectly | eve to eye.
