SECOND COMMITTEE OF-EXPERTS MEET!.. Reparations Talk Today Limited to Formal Speeches Py The Associated Press. Paris, Jan. 21.— The second com- mittee of experts, organized by the reparation commission for the pur- pose of finding German capital abroad and determining means for its return to the reich, met for the first time this forenoon in the Hotel Astoria. The session was confined to an ex- change of addresses between Barthou, president of the reparatidn commission, who presided, and Reg- inald McKenna, former chancellor of the British exchequer, who will pre- side over the committee’s discussions. There were no prepared speeches. M. Bartheu, in weicoming the mem- ‘hers, said: “Your task is the difficult problem of the evasion of German capital, it is easier to state than to solve, but it would be impossible not to take up its examination immediately.” M. Barthou especially thanked Henry M. Robinson of Los Angeles, the unofficial American member of the committee, who, he said, had trav- elled halfway around the world to take part in the deliberatfons. “The entire world,” M, continued, “is interested in your ef- forts on which its equilibrium partly depends. The confldence which it has placed in you is the homage which your activity, confidence.and impar- tiality will not fail to justify. “The participation of American citizens in the work of the allied ex-| perts is & significant fact upon the im- portante of which I must once more insist, men of good will, united with such disinterestedness should not arrive at a suecessful conclusion,” Mr. McKenna in reply paid high tribyte to the speech which Brigadier | General Charles G, Dawes delivered at the opening session of the first com- mittee last Monday. He #aid the sec- ond committee intended to work along similar business methods, The committee planned to recon- vene at 2:15 o'clock this afternoon to discuss Its procedure, The experts were luncheon guests of M. Barthou and the delegates of the reparation commission, all of whom were pres. ent at the opening meeting, The session whs also attended General Dawes, Owen D, the other members of the mittee. They upproved M. Barthou's references. Lo the necessity of closer cooperation in the work of the two committees, Rarthou's Speech M. Barthou's speech of welcome be. gan by saying the reparation commis- sion would have been glad to install simultaneously the two expert com- mittees it had formed, Their programs of course, were not the same, addition to having a common object they were evidently so co-related that | it would have been a real advantage 1o welcome all the edperts at the same time, o “However,” continued M. Barthou, “Mr. Robinson's long voyage, 80 de- votedly undertak and the obligation not to lose time, necessitated the committee being installed before thy other, Under the energetic direction of its distinguished president, General Dawes, it at once began work, It has fised upon a method of working, it has decided to hear Dr. Schacht, head by Young and first com- of the Relchsbank, and its evident de- | termination to dispense with all use- ices formalitics is highly appreciated by the public. “We have only to read the names of the business men who have accept- ed places on the second committee,” Al Barthou continued “to be sure they will proceed with the same confident cagerness. Your task is difficult. The problem of the evasion capital is easier to state than to solve, but it is imperative to take up the rxamination immediately, nying this evasion, which is so de- trimental to the budget and the stabl. lizatlon of money, the government of the Reich, on the demand of the com- mittee on guarantees, has taken a number of legislative and administra- tive measures regarding it, but they have unfortunately remained without elfect.” German Capital M. Barthou said Germany had built | up capital abroad in the form of de-| posits and by participation in com. | | TOAST ELECTRICALLY Toast is never so delicious as when toasted electrically. In no other way is it possible panies and holding companies, to an amount large enough to diminish her capacity and resources for the pay- ment of reparations under the peace treaty. Could an estimate of this cap- ital be made, and could jt be brought back, he asked. M. Barthou then quoted an estimate made by Mr. McKenna in 1932 that the German funds abroad amounted | to at least $1,000,000,000. “It will be your task,” M. Blrthou continued, “to h for means of | making this estimate and preparing for the return of this capital. It is to be hoped you will be supported by the German government whose most au- thoritative representatives elared séveral times that their most active cooperation would be given to the work of reintegration in which the interests of the creditor and debtor powers coincide.” M. Barthou added that the reiations between the two committecs should be such as to make one valuable to the other.
