The fundamental basis of the plan is the mutant interest of all the parties to carry it out in good faith. During the period covered by this report, as from the beginning of the operation of the plan, the Allied Governments, the German Government," and all the agencies con- cerned in its execution have continued to work together loyally and in a spirit of friendly co-operation."

.

Mr. Gilbert points out that the stability of the German currency stands fully as sured. Germany has made regularly and punctually the payments required of her, and the transfers to the creditor Powers have gone forward without disturbing the exchange..

Germany has paid during the first nine months of the second annuity year £41,071,263. The indications are that the year's collections of the transport tax will be fully adequate to cover the pay ments remaining to be made..

The British Share..

The British share of payments during that period was about £8,319,200.

Commenting upon credit conditions in Germany, the report says?

"It is not to be assumed that the re- awakened capacity of the German in- vestor to provide working capital for domestic use indicates that, Germany is already fully capable of sustaining her self, but at least an advance in that direction has been made."

Mr. Gilbert further points out that. German export trade has shown an in creasing tendency to develop, and during the past six months there has been a substantial excess of exports over im porta. "The period is too short and the conditions too. exceptional to justify drawing conclusions for the future on this basis, but the movement of imports and exports during these months is none the less of the utmost interest.”
