Special Cable to The Star and the Chicago
Daily News. Copyright. 1873.
PARIS, December 1.-THE French
are disappointed at the latest German
overtures for a Franco-German un-
derstanding, which they regard as
merely another maneuver to reduce
reparations and regain control of the
occupied territories.
The German thesis, according to
French summaries, is. first, that the
French. Belgian and German gov
ernments, by direct negotiations,
must reach an agreement on repara-
tlons and then call general con-
ference of all interested powers with
out regard to the reparations COM
mission.
Second. that German officials and
techniCianS must cooperate with the
French and Belgians in auministra-
tion of the occupied territories
Third, that Germany can recover
economically only if she is allowed
to dispose freely of the resources of
the Rhineland and the Ruhr.
The French, with whom the Bel
gians apparently are in agreement,
intend to reply, first, that the repa-
rationS questions can be discussed
only through the reparations COM
mission; second, that questions re-
garding administration of the occu-
pied territories can be discussed only
through the interallied commission
at Coblenz. However, France and
Belgium are willing to discuss with
Germany adaptation to Germany's
economic life and prolongation until
next April of the recently concluded
agreement between the occupying
powers and German industrials; also
measures destined to alleviate the
occupation regime, notably the with
6rawalS of troops and cancellation of
expulsion writs. But France con-
tends that Germany cannot pretend
to be desirouS of executing the treaty
so long as she continues to oppose
the work of the allied disarmament
commissions.
