IT Will be impossible TO modify the
indemnity plan in any fundamental
matter. this official said.
THE allies Indemnity" he said "is
no such staggering burden for Ger

represents an indemnity of $4,000

this has been added a rominal rate

the same amount per capita that the
United States expects from the peo-
pie OF France and Italy and Great

The indemnity was not fixed at this
figure with that in mind. however
The result Will be though that the
