PARIS, November 13.-The propo-
sition for a committee of inquiry,
which President Barthou Of the rep

make before that body this after
noon, was explained at the French
foreign Office as simple confirma-
ton of the French point Of view
along this line, as expressed all

parting from the provisions Of the

The commission will decide whether
to take the subject up itself for con-
sideratfon or appoint a committee
which would not only hear the Ger
mans, but investigate the present
state OF Germany's resources at homo
and abroad.
M. Poincare. who, it Is said. would
be kindly disposed toward a sugges-
tion for negotiations with Germany,
now that the economic situation In
the Ruhr is clearing up. would have
empowered to do several things. 1t
would arrive at an estimate of Ger

suggest how these might be used for

take toward re-establishing her
finances; 1t would make every effort
to learn the location Of the reich's
exported capital and would then study
means Of returning 1t.
President Barthou was asked to
present the premiers plan at the
meeting today, requesting that the
commission appoint the delegates
forthwith SO that they might act on
the proposals made by the German
delegates at the hearing they have
requested.
The commission, 1t was expected.
would sanction such a hearing. The

German capital lies and how it can be
brought back; how and in what
amount the resources of the reich can
at present be utilised for reparations
and Germany can re-establish her
financial position.
1t Is further proposed that a tech-
nicai expert be added to the commit
tee for each country. The inyestiga-
