This would entafl a reduc- tion of the present annuities under | the Dawes plin of between seven | {and eight hundred million. Other Conditions Unrevealed The allies’ offer carried with it| various other conditions which were not revealed. Dr. Schacht has given no indica- tion that the German government | | will accept the allies’ offer. He has| |telegraphed Dr. Rudolf Hilferding, | minister of finance, to call a meet- | " |ing at Berlin of the great provincial | | industrialists and heads of the Ger- | man institutions so that he may ex- | | plain the present situation of the | reparations negotiations. The German banker asked this | meeting deliberately, it was under- | stood, so that responsibiiity for ac- ceptance or conditional refusal would be widely shared not only by the government, but by the great leaders of German Industry and finance. Figures Closely Guarded The 1,750,000,000 marks figures was guarded with the greatest se- crecy; consequently when it was learned there was no attendant ex- ,planation or comment to indicate | the number of annuities, or as gen- | erally supposed, it was the first fig- ure of a schedule of rising annual | totals.
