FOUNDATION LAID
FOR HAGUE SUCCESS
BY PAUL SCOTT MOwRER

Especial Cable to The Atlanta Journal and
Chicago Daily Eews-Copyright. 1929
THE HAGUE, June 29.-The
basis of the conference has now
been laid successfully. The indica.
lions are that the delegations are
settling down for protracted tech
meal negotiations entirely devoid
of such daily bombshells as wreck
ed good will at Genoa, and prom
Using, so far as any dealings with
the Soviets can help, something
like progress in the Russian prob
lem.
What has happened succinctly is
this: All political questions includ-
ing the war debts, have been drop
ped. The soviets have been inform
ed that If satisfactory agreement
can be reached regarding pre-war
debts, the restoration of foreign
property, and naturalization for
what cannot reasonably be restor.
ed, the non-Russian commission
will recommend to the respective
governments that they facilitate
private credits to Russia, particu-
larly in goods under suitable guar.
antics.
These terms have been accepted
by the Russians and exchanges of
detailed information will begin
soon. The Russians are asked to
outline their plan Of reconstruction
and say how much in the way Of
credits they need, and what they
are for. This they promise to do.
They will be informed presently
as to the total amount Of pre-war
securities held by the nationals of
countries represented here and
they will be asked to explain the
Russian budget in detail, so that a
moratorium and payment facilities
can be arranged. To this the Rus
slams also agree. Today the west.
ern powers informed the Russians
as to the various categories of
property belonging to foreigners in
Russia. The Russians were asked
which they intend to restore, and
which not, and under what condi.
tions Of tenure. To this again, ac-
cording to my information, the Rus
slams will agree.
The allies are about to reply Joint.

cost of the army of occupation on

formed. They will suggest that the
United States pay itself from the
German property sequestered in the
course of the war.
