ing long conversations with various
persons connected with the repara-

to practical questions, such as the
stabilization of German currency.

upon the formation of the budget SO
Germany can pay it's governments

ceptive with the desire of Offering
constructive suggestions as oppor-
tunity may arise.
Atmosphere More Favorable.
The atmosphere in which the COM
| mittee will begin its work appears
since the signing of the peace treaty..
The failure of all previous plans of
settlement is attributed to the funda-
| mental states of mind in both Ger
| many and France. The successive gov
ernments in Berlin were regarded in
France as following policies of nom
payment, disorganizing their. own
budgets and depreciating the mark

what Is described by Germany as q
desperate economic situation. -
