REPARATIONS
BERLIN PRESS NOT SO OPTIMISTIC AS PARIS
Berlin, Yesterday.
It is seini-officially stated that the optimism in the Paris Press with regard to the Reparations negotia- tions is in no-wise shared by the German delegatees.
Paris correspondents of Berlin newspapers unanimously declare that the Reparations' problem is still far from being solved.
The "Tageblatt" correspondent declares that the demands of the creditors far exceed what Germany is able to pay and must, therefore, be considered unacceptable to Ger- many.
Correspondents are of opinion that a great deal of blame for the
possible failure of the conference will rest with the United States owing to its refusal to authorise the United States delegate, Mr. Owen Young, to negotiate also with regard to the debt of the Allies.- Reuter.
