From Congress, however, has come no definite trend of ht yet to indicate its eventual attitude toward a scaling down of war debts. Germany's expected step is to in- voke the clause of the Young plan which permits her to seek revision of reparations upon proof of her inca- pacity to pay. There is no such provision, however, in war debt agreements covering $11.- and European nations. Any effort to curtail these payments would have to be initiated through diplomatic channels.
