While the reparations question is
the immediate concern of the meeting
between the British and the French
Prime Ministers, the difficulties it has
caused are affecting the entire scope
OF European trade and finance, and
Mr.. Lloyd George has found that NJ.
BRAND agrees with him that the time
has come when broader steps than
any in the past must be taken. Some
thing of the directness of the Wash
ington conference and the Irish nego-
tiations will be attempted at the meet
ing of the Prime Ministers here.
The first scene of the conference OF
the Prime Ministers shows that the
stage is set for the adjustment of the
European economic tangles on the
broadest possible lines, and that is a
drama in which Germany seems to be
cast for more outspoken role than
she has had since the armistice.
From a high source THE New YORK
HERALD correspondent learns that
France is ready to agree to mora
torium for Germany on certain con-
ditions. which would give her guar
antees she desires, including finan-
cial and economic reforms by Ger
many that will insure reparation pay
ments when the moratorium expires.
The Deutschebank is to be relieved
from Government pressure to print
large sums of paper marks. Adequate
customs along the German frontiers
and the guarantee by Great Britain
of her security against German ag-
gression will be asked by France.
According to the same source Mr..
Lloyd George is willing to meet tfa' ce
half way in these proposals and to re-
wise the whole reparation settlement and
forego all British claims on German
reparations, to the end that British
trade might be benefited. However.
Great Britain would insist that France
reduce her land and sea forces and en-
ter into q tripartite agreement with Eng
land and Germany, or. perhaps. quad
ruple agreement with England, Belgium
and Germany. regarding a neutral Paine
zone, to be substantially the same a the
present occupied zone, the three, or the
four. Powers 10 oppose with their armed
forces any Power which might send
armed forces into II.
