PARIS, Dec. 28.-Germany will re-
enter international affairs on terms of
friendly collaboration with the Allies
for the first time tomorrow, when her
representatives sit with the most
powerful and influential tinanciers and
industrial magnates of the Old World
in preliminary conference, whose
object is to set war-muddled Europe
back on her feet. The meeting, which
is about to begin in Paris, is the first
step in the program of harmony re-
Gently worked odt III London by
Premiers Lloyd George and BRAND.
The primary object Of this concave
Of capitalists is the rebuilding of cen
tral Europe and Russia through the
creation of commercial and financial
consortium shared by French and Brit
ish capital, with the participation of
linancers of Italy and Belgium, and
agreed TO-DAY to the admission of Ger
many to such a consortium on CON
dition that half the German benefits be
turned over for reparations. British
assent TO this is already assured.
Light on London Conferences
More light was thrown on the ap-
rearance of Hugo SHINES, Walther
Rathenau and other German leaders of
German industry and finance in Lon
don some time ago with to-day's in
formation that Germany's appearance
in Allied circles was the result of Ger
man technical efforts in the last month
in connection with Russia, which, il
was finally realized, could not be de.
veoped without Allied help.
While the great consortium that ha.
been visualized will be made possible
by private capital, it is with the full
assent and with the supervision O.
the governments involved. That repre-
sentativcs Of Russian interests will bt
present at the conference with the
Germans is extremely likely, and it is
predicted here that American financia
