Will Ald Peace. | The settlement, in the opinion of all the experts who took part in it, will go farther to consolidate the peace of Europe than anything which has hap- | pened since the peace conference. | One consequence much commented | {upon in allied circles is that it is felt here virtually to make the reparations |and debt settlement a German-Ameri- | | can problem, since, apart from greatly | reduced sums for the reconstruction of | devestated regicns, the greater portion | of annuities will go to meet payments by the United States war dcbtors. It is felt that it would be going too {far to say that the agreement will sat- | |isty all parties. The French feel that | they are getting less than they ought | to have for reparations, properly speak- {ing, while the smaller creditors con- | sider that thcy have been pinched in | | the pairing down process necessary to | meet the Germans. | |1t is regarded, however, that French | public optnion is prepared to accept the | | accord because, while held to be utterly | | inadéquate, it is looked upon as the | | best that can be expected ever to be carried out. | There was a feeling of great rejoicing | around the Hotel George V. when Emile Francqui, the Belgian delegate, told his colleagues: “Belgium wants what is due her. She | does not want to prevent an agreement on the vexedwquestion of reparations. She accepts the procedure recommended by tion that the Germans open negotia- tions at once for redemption of the marks they left in our country and do it without involving any question of terri- torial cession.” Mr. Young, who played so prominent a part in the Dawes agreement, was the | first to recelve the congratulations of | his colleagues on this second agreement. | It was felt to be his success | Conference Delegates. to the preparations | conference were as follows | Great Britain—Sir Josiah Stamp and Lord Revelstoke, both_directors of the Bank of Enpgland.
