II is said on authority that the
Anglo French financial experts. NJ.
Avenor. NJ. Collier, Mr.. Bradbury and
Mr.. Blacke1l who were appointed at
the recent Hythe conference. came TO
a unanimous agreement which pro-
vided for a more definite arrange
ment later. The plan calls for an 81
lied commission to watch the situa-
ton in Germany closely and to see
that the Germans pay.

financial advisers soon after their ap-
pointment considered fixing the defin-
gold fs31. ESQ. 900, 000) to be paid over
at definite times within a period OF
thirty years, but on account of French

totally inadequate. that ii was even
less than Count Brockdorff Rantzau
had offered. and that it was incon-
sistent with the present economic con-
dition of the world.

troops. The allies have agreed TO
countenance no objections from the
Germans at Spa to use the economic
conditions and league of nations as
arguments for the reduction or with
drawal of the allied and American
forces on the Rhine.
