Reduction Of German Reparatlons Due

Scheme.

Neutrality-suspicious. of the foreign
diplomats in attendance at the arms
conference have received word which
they interpret as indicating that
David Lloyd George, British premier,
is preparing to take the initiative in
world economic matters.
Having become convinced from the
results of inquiries made here that
the American government does not
intend to call an international eco
nomic meeting at least not in the
near future, the British prime minis.
ter's plan, according to the informa-
ton in the hands of these diplomats,
contemplates the cancellation of all
war debts owing to Great Britain by
Italy, France, Belgium, Russia. and
the smaller Balkan allies, amounting
with interest to upward of two billion
! sterling. a1

He is said to intend to annul the
debts Of other countries, due Great
Britain subject to conditions, one, it
is understood, being that France
should forgive the debts of allied
countries to her, amounting to about
the equivalent Of two billions of dol
lars and another being a reduction Of
German reparations due to France by
1851 100000 of francs. This is the
amount the French government Dor

change then existing of '5.45 francs to
