BRITISH. CONSIDER .
MORATORIUM PLAN
Cabinet Discussing Conditions
Under Which Germany
Can Be Aided
MARK TAKES UPWARD TURN
BY the Associated Press

London, Nov. 30.--Reports that tine
British Cabinet was considering the
proposed moratorium for Germany we're
'ontirmed in official circles today. The
point being discussed is under what
conditions a moratorium could be de-
clared.
1t was made known this afternoon
that the interview which DIR. Walter
Rathenau, former German Minister Of
reconstruction, had with Sir Robert
Horne, Chancellor Of the Exchequer,
yesterday. was for the discussion among
other things of the moratorium ques-
tion.
An immediate effect of the reports
regarding the suggested moratorium for
Germany was seen in the Improvement
of the exchange rate on the mark here,
which dropped to 960 the pound ster-
ing, as compared with 100 yesterday.
The business was mostly of specula-
tive character.
The morning newspapers give great
attention to DR.. Rathenau's visit. and
discuss the subject of Germany's tinan-
ces from many angles. AS yet no
very. concrete opinion has developed,
although it is noteworthy that there Is
complete absence of any declared hos
tility to the suggestion Of a morator.
ium for Germany, or any other scheme
calculated TO render payment of the
rcparations easier.
The question of Frances position is
discussed by the financial writer's, who
assume that moratorium would be
distasteful to her. but it is argued that
French interests would be served equally
with British. and that France would
gain more in the long run under such
plan than by further occupation Of
German territory should Germany de-
fault in her payments.
The financial writer's emphasize the
absolute necessity for Germany to cease
printing paper currency il a moratorium
Is to be granted, and some raise the
question whcth.r Germany can be
trusted to keep her word in this regard.
Another condition advocated is that
Germany be required to make her
budget for 1922 1923 balance exclusive
Of reparations, and it is stated that
she has already intlmated her readiness
to do this.

possible from his statement. He would
not indicate whether decision had vet
been reached. but said the four jap
anesc delegates were deciding the matter
for themselves.
American Delegates Firm
The reiterated firmness of the Ameri-
can delegates at the same time against
acceptance of any increase in the naval
ratio for Japan was understood to have
had the effect Of definitely ending con-
sideration of the question in the naval
sub committee Of the Powers.
The ub.Committce met today and
discussed details of the American plan
for limitation of naval armament. The
session was adjourned shortly after II
O'Clock. and it then was Snid there
would be no other meeting of the sub
committee today and that it had not
been been determined whether discus
SlOns would be resumed tomorrow.
There also was no indication that the
full committee of naval experts. in
Guiding the officers Of the French and
Italian ravicS had been called. 1t Is
generally expected that when the ex-
ports Of the three Powers reach point
where they cannot proceed further un-
til the conference has decided the funda-
mental question of fleet ratio as between
the United States and Japan, that the
full Naval Expert Coplmittee will be
assembled and win then make its report
to the Naval Committee of the Confer
tnCC.
In American circles there had ap-
pcared to be feeling that today might
bring the discussion of the naval ratio
question to head so far as the experts
were concerned. There was 10 indics-
tion that such stage had been reached.

jOurned.
