Paris, April 23 (®—The repara- tions experts again failed in their efforts to find a solution for the long pending reparations problem and began winding up their work today.

Nevere theless, it was decided that the prin- cipal cxperts to work on a report concerning the points ‘that are not disputed, while the delegations con- tinue to exchenge views as to the contested features.

Outside of the German group, there ‘was no one who thought any fur- ther useful discussions ceuld be heid on anything else but the final report.
