AUSTRIAN TREATY

pIicated Problem.

PARIS, June "a (by the Associated
Press).-The question Of reparations
is still delaying completion of the
Austrian treaty. owing to the diff
Guilty OF aligning the small eastern
states on any general scheme for a
division of the financial obligations
and the claims resulting from the
break up of the Hapsburg monarchy.
with consequent elimination Of its
responsibility for reparations.
American experts have conducted
negotiations with representatives Of
the states inheriting parts of the
Hapsburg domains. including Poland.
Czechoslovakia, Jugoslavia and Ru-
mania, for several weeks. but the
the council Of four. and French eX-
perts are now trying their hand.
Problem Is Complicated.
The problem is decidedly compli-
Gated. because. on the one hand, 1T Is
planned to charge these states with
share Of the Hungarian
financial responsibilities proportionate
to the area and resources of the Haps-
burg territories acquired by them.

the cost Of the war Of liberation"
while. on the other hand, Rumania
and Serbia are entitled to offsets for
reparations due them.
Poland and Czechoslovakia are not
entitled to reparations under the gen
eral principle OF the Austrian and Ger
man treaties, which limit reparations to
the actual belligerents during the war.
Commission Changes.
Certain changes in the permanent re-
parations commission are also being
made, to adopt it to Austrian conditions.
The German treaty provided only for
Serbian membership in certain contin-
gencies. But all these states will be
given seats and votes when their inter-
ests are involved.
All sums delivered from Austrian.
Hungarian and Bulgarian reparations
will be pooled with the proceeds of
the German reparations for division
among the interested states IN pro-
portion to proved claims. This Is
departure from the plan contemplated
in the German instrument. which pro-
vided for a division according to pre-
arranged quotas, the original appor-
tionment assigning 55 per cent to
France and Is per cent to England,
the other states receiving smaller per-
centages.
Belgium will be left with a prior
charge on the reparations pool.

After the treaty is brought back to

1t is expected that the signing will
require two hours. The seals of all
the delegates will be affixed in adj

President Wilson is using the Presi-

elaborate coats of arms supplied by
Premier Paderewski of Poland and
