Of the plan for formation of an inter
national financial corporation left the
reparations question as the most i'm
portant item left on the agenda. The
conferences with the German repara-
tons delegation under DR.. Walter
Rathenau which was to arrive today
were expected to be brief.
The desire OF Germany to partici
pate in the consortium which Is going
to engage in the enterprise of restor-
ing Europe, including Austria and
Russia to normal conditions, is count
ed upon to overcome any hesftancy
she might have to subscribe to the
allies new terms
It is pointed out by the promoters
of the consortium idea that any coun-
try wishing to have a share therein
must subscribe to the principles laid
down in the resolution Of the council
on Friday that all honorable obliga-
tons must be respected.
Final Reparation TermA
The final terms for reparations pay
ment that the German delegation will
be asked to accept are 72o,000,000
gold marks and reparations in kind to
the value of 1.750.0oo,0o marks an

Washington. Jan. 11.-(By the AS
sociated Press )-Delegatio heads OF
the five powers continued today their
discussion of the. naval Limitation
treaty to clear up remaining details of
while the full naval COM
mittees of the conference was called to
meet later in the day to. 20 over the
completed sections of the pact. Agree
rnent was=reeched by @Hhe delegation
heads Yesterday on all articles Of the
treaty draft except for details OF the
Pacific Notifications agreement, upon
which a tentative settlement was
reached subject to approval by the
Japanese government.
The question arising under the
Notifications article which provides
for a settlement on status quo basis
was understood to relate to the status
of certain small islands lying to the
southwark of the principal Japanese
group and whether these are to be in
cluded in the area within which no
further fortifications can be erected.
The Japanese delegates were conf
dent however. that Toxic would ap-
prove promptly the delimination ten
tatively agreed to by them in the
American draft of the article.
Another Question.
Another question still awaiting final
OeC1S1On To-Day was "NeLNeT the SUD-
marine and poison gas resolutions
adopted by the five powers would be
included in the naval treaty or mode
the subject of separate agreement.
On this growing inclination was un.
derstood to have been revealed at the
meeting of the big five" to adopt the
latter course on the ground that the
resolution covering those questions
did not properly belong in the instru-
rnent with the provisions for tonnage
limitation.
Meanwhile the Shantung negotia-
tions held out new promise Of an
agreement in the decision of the Japa-
nese and Chinese delegates to resume
their separate conversations on the
question today without attempt to set
tie for the present the centra! dis
agreement over return of the Tsintao-
Tsinanfu railroad but to clear away
other points of difference. It was
hoped discussion of the less controver-
sail details might develop a method Of
solution for the railroad problem.

Aside from the Notifications

Before the five came together,
