PARIS, Jan. 29.-The Allied Su-
preme Council adjourned to-day
after reaching a full agreement on
the subject of German reparations
and disarmament, and will meet in
London to take up the question of
the Near East on February 21.
Seven days later the representatives
of Germany will be called into the
conference to discuss the terms
agreed upon to-day.
The agreement is the same as that
drawn up by the financial and mill
tary experts Of the commission and
decided on Friday.
The Council also agreed upon
plans for the rehabilitation of
Austria.
There was an air Of satisfaction
in the conference to-day and the dip
lomats were optimistic over the re-
suits achieved, despite the many dis
agreements which they faced six
days ago and the threatened break
between England and France on
Thursday
Allies in Full Accord
The general feeling at the close
of the conference was that the AL
lies were once more presenting the
same solid front in peace that had
served to win the war. Also, it was
felt that for the first time the Allies
were really in full accord on the
matter of reparations and disarma-
ment.
The Allied terms regarding repara-
items and disarmament which the Ger
mans will be called on to sign in Lon
con, are as follows:
The Germans must pay 226,000,-
100000 gold marks in annuities
spread over forty-two years, increas
ing progressively from 1000, 100000
the first two years to 3,0O0.000,00O
for the next three years, 5000 100000
for the next three years and 6,0O0,-
100000 for the remaining thirty-two
years. Germany also must pay tax
Of 12 per cent on her exports.
Germany will be called upon to de-
liver bonds to each of the Allied
countries for the amounts due them,
in order to facilitate discounting the
German debt and arranging for its
absorption in the economic life OF the
world.
The Allies forbid Germany enter
ing into any kind of foreign loan
transactions. whether by state or
municipalities, without the Allies
authorization.
The German customs will be a
pledge for Germany's performance OF
her contracts, with general receiver
of customs named by the Reparations
Commission.
1t is reported that the conference
finally agreed upon four sanctions for
all defaults by Germany, whether in
regard to disarmament or reparatione,
although Germany may not be asked
to subscribe to this part Of the Allied
agreement These sanctions are: The
Allies may occupy new . :: or
man territory; the Allied occupation
in the territory already he'd may be
prolonged; the German customs from
tier is liable to be fixed by the Allies
at the left bank Of the Rhine. and Ger
many may be excluded from the League
of Nations.
Sanctions Believed Adequate
1t is believed that these sanctions,
especially the one which virtually per
mits separation from Germany of her
territory lying on this side of the
Rhine, will insure prompt payment.
The Germans, it is understood, are

are to be augmented to 100000 tons
monthly instead of 100000, besides
900 tons in arrears under the Spa
agreement. Advances by France are
abolished, as well as the five gold
marks ton, which France paid on de-
liveries under the Spa agreement.
Nevertheless France will pay two gold
marks a ton on coal of a superior
quality, which is approved as such by
experts.
AS regards Austria the conference
adopted Loucheur's report, proposing
to establish an Austrian financial com
pany with a capital of 200 ,ooO, 900
francs, to which the Allied o. -ern-
ments will cede all reparations and
other debts owed them by Austria.
This company will control Austrian
finances and will take measures to
regulate congestion of Austrian labor
and diminish the number of function
aries.
