Later
M. Dourner's statement dealt principally with Germany's debt to France. He pointed out that the French budget in 1921 provides 16,000 million francs for the reconstruction of the devastated regions and the payment of war pensions which must be recovered from Germany in order to restore the financial equilibrium. Mr. Lloyd George appeared to be greatly interested in the statement and frequently questioned M. Doumer.
BERLIN, January 25.
A communique as regards reparations, shows that Germany agrees to the Allied scheme for five anual instalments and desires the discussions for settling the total debt to be held as soon as possible instead of on the expiry of the five years.
