learned today.
This decision is believed to have
been preciptated by the financial

The provisions of this agreement,
which are regarded as inconceivable

demnity imposed upon her by the
allies.
This arrangement, it is pointed
out, would hold up the liquidation
of Great Britain's debt OF billions
to the United States. 1t would also
involve the discounting by this coun
try OF bond issue by Germany te
give that country necessary funds
and to prevent the spread of unrest
in Europe. Both of these proposals,
1t is believed, would put this coun-
try in the position Of standing spon
sor for Germany.
