French this afternoon that independent
action by Premier Poincare. of France,
would be interpreted as n tearing up
of the treaty of Versailles.
Premier Poincare tonight accepted
the decision Of the Reparations Com
mission after the Belgian Government
had assured him that the arrangement
was very satisfactory. The Premier :
approval was conditional upon a Ger
man gold deposit sufficient to guarantee
the deferred payments involved in the
Belgian plan. This was said to have
been assured.
The solution thus arrived at. al
though not technically moratorium,
has the same effect as a moratorium in
that Germany is relieved of cash pay
ments for the remainder of 1922. with
the provision that the payments due in
1923 will be discussed and decided later
in the year.
Berlin. Aug. 31.-(By A. P.)-The
attitude IN German official circles today
is one of resignation mingled with pes
simism. \ Foreign Office official COM
mcnting on the situation said
The fact that the Entente math-
ematicians still are obsessed with the
idea that Germany could surrender the
Reichsbank's gold reserve. which is
purely private property, or could offer
IX months treasury bills for which it
cannot possibly devise or offer security.
would indicate that there is still much
confused logic in the ranks of our OPP
ponents concerning Germany's financial
capacity
Gcrmany's present offer of coal and
timber deliveries. he said was only
made pc ssible through the promise of
loyal cooperation BY the industrialists
and workers union, and these reprc-
sented the greatest individual sacrifices
ever assumed by private organizations.
The scope and money values of these
deliveries. he continued. 'and the
drain they represent on GPrmany's in
dustrial resources We're such that the
Roparations Commission could i'll af-
ford to brush them aside as being an
inadequate offset for the suspension Of
gold payments.
Meanwhile. he said, the official print
ing presses were being fabricated for
additional speed, Their present daily
capacity was 1000 900 900 marks, al
though he believed this could be ex-
tended to 5000 600 600 by turning out
notes of larger denominations.
