The French proposal to end the

The third committee, however,

French Are Peevish
As matter of fact the French
proposal regarding defaults is what
the Anglo American group wanted,

The French feel they have been

not have their proposals regarding
defaults accepted unless the others
are also.
The conference has been deadlock

Germany defaults in payments I'M

France proposes that if the reE
