n.ent this afternoon for the distri-
button Of the first billion gold marks
of German reparations. The agree
ment disregards the American claim
OF priority for its expenses in con-
ncction with occupation of the

recognizes the claim by special
clause, which states that all the

them. the finance ministers consid-
er.ng tIat they do not have power
to decide this question.
Not Commission Question.

for the reparations commission TO
decide, because that body was act
ing solely under the provisions OF
tie treaty OF Versailles. 10 which

party. Consequently, it was decid-
ed, that the question was one for the
various governments concerned to
settle.

ton after May, 1921. shall be di-
vided as follows:
