Cannes. France, Jan. 7.--tBy the
Associated Press. The allied 81
prema council planned to beSin con-
sideration of the question Of Ger
many's reparatiors today in an al
tempt to have somewhat cleared by
yesterdays decision tc get together
with Russia and Germany in an in
ternational financial and economic
meeting.
The Belgian delegation has an
uounced that it will insist on Pei
GUMS priority to 2,500000,G eco gold
marks of the German reparation5.
Ahis is regarded as an important Gb-
stacle to the British plan which the
French are disposed to accept in pare.
Both the Belgians and the French are
opposed to a moratorium for Germany
but the French are inclined to agree
to reduction in the cash payments.
provided the difference is made up by
deliveries of reparations in kind. Tie
British stick to their propose! to la'
duce the total payments due this year
from 1000, 5000 gold malks to J0O,-
G00,000 marks on condition that ma
terials be delivered to the value OF
1900. 100000 gold marks. u this rae
it will take five years to pay off the
priority claimed by the Belgiana, and
France will have to wait that long
before receiving any cash at all.
It is anticipated that the British
delegates in their satisfaction over
the success Of their scheme for an
international economic conference
with the Germans and Russians will +
endeavor to find some compromise in
regard to reparations that will salts
fly both tho French and the Belgians.
Turkish Problem
The solution of the Turkish pro
hlem and the consideration Of the An
CORA treaty was gone into further this .
forenoon when the premiers and for
eign ministers held an informal dis
cussion. The decision to hold NEE =
ing of the foreign ministers en- the
Angora question "a Canness instead +
of at Paris was taken because of the I
unexpected result of the first days
session.
Many of the delegates attribute the
quick results of yesterdays meeting
to the example set by the Washington
armament conference.
The question or reparations will oc-
cupy almost the entire time of the
conference Monday The experts this !
forenoon began discussion as to how
the first billion marks paid by Ger
many last August, should be divided. !
