GERMAN PREPARATIONS
PLAN ENDORSED HERE
Frances Seeming Advantage
Not Resented by Bankers.

Throughout the financial district ap-
proval was expressed yesterday of the
announcement cabled from Berlin that
the German Government had accepted
French proposals as C basis for negoti-
ating n reparations settlement with the
Entente Allies. The goal to be aimed at,
in the opinion of international bankers.
is the settlement at the earliest possible
moment of the reparations question.
Bankers recognized that an indemni-
fication TO be made largely In goods and
raw materials through trade credits and
through Germany becoming virtually an
economic subject of France would be
detrimental to American trade in fin
ished products. but the point was made
that. after all, France was entitled to
such consideration and that delay in
reparations settlement would be more
harmful to American trade than a
prompt settlement on the basis outlined
international bankers believe that
neither England nor the United States
would be disposed TO prevent the closest
sort OF trade relations between France
and Germany. recognizing that 1t would
go far toward safeguarding peace in Eu-
rope. The point was made that 1t Is
easy to magnify the loss to America OF
both France and Germany as heavy
buyers. The fact is that with the franc
at less than seven cents, or about one
third of pre-war value as expressed in
terms of the dollar, and with the mark
at still greater depreciation, trade with
Europe is greatly handicapped. with the
best remedy an increase in production
in Europe and a curtailment OF buying.
Rumors that a $1,000 100000 German
loan would be floated in the United
States were characterized as absurd.

9 DIFFERENT FACTIONS
Violent Revolutionary Party
Likely to Be Formed in
Any Case.
DIFFERENT FACTIONS

IEGHoRN. Jan. 20.-Balloting on the
question of joining the Moscow Interna-
tionale was held this afternoon at the
Congress Of the Italian Socialist party.
It was expected that much time would be
occupied in counting the votes. The
issue involved is whether revolution by
violence is TO be indorsed.
Up to the last moment the three fac
tions-one favoring adhesion to the
Moscow organization. the second desiring
TO remain aloof from the International
and the. third advocating membership
with limita intact, and
il was considered questionable whether
there would be any secession from the
ranks of old Socialists to that section o.
the party which is demanding adoption
of the Russion Communist methods.
AS the delegates favoring violent ac-
tion have declared that they intend TO
form q new party, it appears certain
that a violent revolutionary party will
begin it's EXISTENCE party fashioned
and guided by the tactics of Nikolai
Lenine, the Russian Bolshevist Premier
Deputy Turati, who represents the
moderate element, and Deputy Serrati.
who stands for adherence to the Third
Internationale with reservations, still
appeared to have the largest following
this morning.
A communication from Moscow, read
at to-day's session. demanded expulsion
of the Moderate Socialists and all those
opposing the Soviet doctrine of an armed
offensive.
