Berim, July 17.
In connection with the differ- ences that rose between the Ger- man Government and the true- tees of the "Dawes and Young. Loans, the following official state- ment was issued on Tuesday, set- ting forth the view of the German Government: "In consequence of the well-known state of foreign currency reserves in the Reich- bank, the amount of foreign cur- rencies due on July 15 for the ser- vice of these loans could not be placed at the disposal of the trus tees. The sums due amounted to 4.22 million Relchsmarks in the case of the Young Loan. The pay-
ment to individual loan holders is
only due on October 15 in the case
of the Dawes Loan and on Decem- ber in the case of the Young Loan The German Government has therefore. approached the
Governments
of the countries where the loars were issued in order to obtain an improvement on the foreign currency situation and consequently of Germany's po- wer to effect the transfer agree- ment. This has already been reach - "ed with Great Britain.
